dracothelizard conspired to make me try out Stargate SG-1. I was instructed to watch only certain episodes and assured that all of the other episodes were terrible. I enjoyed what I watched, but I never got terribly far.
I've now started watching SG-1 from the beginning, without skipping anything, and I've discovered that they weren't joking. A lot of these episodes are really bad, and I say this as someone with demonstrably dreadful taste in television.
( Notes on 'Brief Candle', cut for talk of impaired consent. )
Despite the variable quality of the first season, I do like the SG-1 team quite a lot, so I'm still watching for now. I can sit through a great deal for a good cast of characters.
I may 'ship Jack/Sam a bit. When Jack makes a joke, he'll sometimes surreptitiously glance over at her to see if she laughs. It's incredibly endearing.
I may 'ship the entire SG-1 team a bit, actually. I think I'm taking whatever I can get to pull myself through the questionable early episodes, and apparently what I can get is 'adorable polyamory'. It's a strong offer, I'll admit.
