There's another train...

So at this point only one person is really turning up to Stargate, and he doesn't even like the show. It occured to me that if I changed the format I might get to see other people as well. I do Not Get Out Much so this would be nice.

Please only choose options you would ACTUALLY TURN UP TO. Not necessarily every fortnight or whatever, but not never or only once either. Keep in mind I live in Bayswater.

And I understand many of you would come if you had the time/lived on the right continent etc, no offense taken :)

[Poll #1345300]

Options for "Something else" to be decided if enough people seem interested.

I feel pretty crap right now but am feeling very Disclaimer 4aish and this seemed the safest thing on my to-do list.

Stargate, I mean really. Really.

(Sorry, but really.)

Heh, yeah, fair call.

I kept having it thrust upon me and decided that if I was going to end up hearing so much about it/end up watching episodes over cam's shoulder etc I might as well watch the relatively good bits in order and get some feel for the plot arcs, but even the "good" bits are full of badness.

There's probably better things you could screen. I think Stargate qualifies as watchable (I've probably seen four or five episodes, and the movie wasn't too bad IIRC), and I'm not trying to be a huge snob.

Would be nice to see you take on something unheard-of and brilliant. For instance people were talking about Edge of Darkness as "possibly the best TV show ever made" recently, and a film remake is coming out soonish I think. If you found and screened that, I'd be very interested.

I'll probably stick to stuff we own and beyond that fairly cheerful stuff people can miss a few episodes of, which I think will encourage more of the low-obligation long term friendly socialising which is my goal. Still, I think I can go a step or two above Stargate :)

I am actually planning on watching Edge of Darkness but stuff rented via Quickflix REALLY doesn't suit movie nights. I will try and remember to post a review!

Fair enough!
