Life In One Call

733 Comments

I have been feeling weird today; almost hollow. I considered writing a whole post about how much better things were when I was at WVU and how I missed having friends around.

Then, it happened. My whole life was summed up in a phone call from my mom. “Call me right back so I can see if this new phone works properly,” she said.

That’s me. I’m the person you call only to have some menial task fulfilled. I’m the person you call because you know I’ll be home with nothing else to do. This is what I am.

Excuse me while I go be emo. 😥

I woke up to the news that SGA has been cancelled. Not cancelled, just, you know, not on anymore. This whole “we’ll make movies” garbage is not good enough. As much as I :love: SG-1, those movies are rather bad. I can’t imagine the SGA movies will be any better.

I’m not surprised that the show was cancelled for a few different reasons. I’ve stated most of my gripes before, and I know a large part of the fandom shares them. When the heart of the show was removed, Weir and Beckett, the writers put themselves into deep holes and never really dug their way out. I guess in the end, the only things I’ll miss about Atlantis are the sets, Ronon (the eye-candy, not the role), Rodney, and the chance to get to know those kickass villains we only got a glimpse of. Oddly enough, I won’t miss Sheppard, who was the reason I watched in the first place. There has been almost NO character development in five years now, and without Elizabeth to humaniize him, he became some basic military guy.

Hopefully, we’ll have Eureka and Fringe around long enough to make me happy. Colin Ferguson says in his interview vid on Sci-Fi that they’re actually going to get an additional Winter run to go along with the Summer run, so maybe that’s good news. I still cannot say enough about how much I love Fringe. I just keep waiting for it to actually premiere so I can see new episodes.

Did NOT see that coming. In Eureka, is anything ever as it seems? I may be wrong, and I’m not spoiled in any way whatsoever, but I think this may be for real. I only think that because the show is small enough to get away with something like this. Then again, it’s also small enough that they can get away with reversing it somehow. I just don’t know what the future holds, but as long as there is a future, I’m there. :wink2:

On a much less cool note, I am the world’s biggest sucker. No, I mean it. Once again, I’ve let my sense of responsibility cost me greatly. 😡

What Should Have Been

As the week of Dragon*Con approaches, even more guests have been added. FORD! Rainbow is going to be there and I would so love to tell him that his fans still miss him. Here’s the list of who I would have spent my money on, had I gone to D*C 2008:


Sean Astin (First…not only alphabetically)
Beau Bridges (Gen. Landry would be a nice addition)
Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett…but not as I pictured)
Brad Dourif (fellow WVian)
Rainbow Sun Francks (see above)
Virginia Hey (Meditation Workshop, how I miss thee)
Torri Higginson (Didn’t get to spend $ on her last time)
Gareth David Lloyd (No question about it.)
David Nykl (I’d want him to pretend to be Czech)
Hayden Panettiere (if only in hopes she brought Milo)
Robert Picardo (When fandoms collide!)
Tim Russ (Tuvok!)
Cliff Simon (I’d spend double on him)
