Best of SG1: want to watch it with me?

[sqbr]

So Cam has the full ten seasons of Stargate SG1, and I decided I felt like watching some of it. Since the episodes tend to be fairly stand alone and of variable quality I looked up the best 50 episodes and sorted them (see below poll) and then thought it would be nice to use this as an opportunity to see people, since it wouldn't involve me having to go out or talk much and thus is less prone to the "me getting sick and canceling" effect (of course, since it's at my house, me canceling is a bigger deal)

Edit: I live in Bayswater, walking distance from the Bayswater trainstation (though it's not a very short walk)

I was thinking three-four episodes, probably starting at about 6:30 on every second Wednesday night, people provide their own dinner with the possibility of arriving earlier and making a combined order of something. Episodes divided up so that people can miss a night and not miss the end of a cliffhanger. Anyone got any suggestions along those lines?

[Poll #1250435]

I totally understand if people either don't want to come because they don't like the show, or are busy or whatever. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there because I am getting a leetle sick of not having anyone other than Cam to talk to outside the few days I make it in to work :/

The list of 50 best episodes from TV.com voters. Cam has added some, in bold, and also said some were crap, in italics. He's only rewatched up to season 7 so his additions stop there, but I think that's enough to start with :) The final number is the rating it was given.

Window of Opportunity is rated far, far, far too low.

So exactly what I was thinking!

Re: mmmmmmmm sg-1 goodness

[alias_sqbr]

Are you not able to come?

Re: mmmmmmmm sg-1 goodness

[elaran.livejournal.com]

sorry, nope. :/ i kinda have to buckle down and study lots for midsems and stuff. if you're holding one during the midsem break then i will be there though! :)

Re: mmmmmmmm sg-1 goodness

[alias_sqbr]

I will try to make it line up, assuming I can bothered keeping this going that long :)

[tevriel.livejournal.com]

I'm *interested*, and have wanted to see some SG-1 for a while, but transport issues can be Tricky for me. Sooo we'll see whether I can ever actually make it.

[alias_sqbr]

Oh, I know what that's like. Hopefully you can come!

[velithya]

I've been meaning to finish watching SG1 for a long time, but not really in this format I'm sorry to say - I'm at the beginning of season 9 and I will be watching every episode straight through to the end.

a-also I'm far too busy right now anyway :psy:

[alias_sqbr]

Well FINE I hope you're happy watching it ALL BY YOURSELF.

:)

[velithya]

heh, well it's just that I don't really want to watch early SG1 again and I've come this far so damned if I'm going to slack off now and start skipping episodes when you get up to where I am, and also I have a list a mile long of TV still to watch that tbqh is above SG1 atm, so ^^;

[alias_sqbr]

You make it sound like a marathon: "So..close...to...finish! Can't..slack..off..now!" :)

[stephbg.livejournal.com]

Location makes a bit of a difference to me, being a fellow inconveniently ill person. What suburb?

[alias_sqbr]

Oops, that was a pretty important detail to miss! Bayswater. (See attached low resolution map :D)

[fred-mouse.livejournal.com]

I'm currently working my way through SG1 - I'm up to beginning of season two, but I'd quite happily come along haphazardly and watch with people occasionally. I can't commit to every week, but I don't particularly care if I miss a few episodes.

are you planning on watching them in roughly chronological order?

[alias_sqbr]

I can't commit to every week, but I don't particularly care if I miss a few episodes.

That's fine, given that we're skipping most of them anyway :)

And yes, chronological order, it seemed the best way given that I haven't actually seen a lot of these.

[timtek.livejournal.com]

Man what is Cam talking about, Upgrades is a freaking great episode!

[alias_sqbr]

Hey, don't look at me, I haven't seen it!

[nico-wolfwood.livejournal.com]

I am so jealous right now - I want to watch all of SG1 in order but I don't have the DVDs!

[alias_sqbr]

I'd offer to make you a copy but there's like 40 disks or whatever :)
