Just what I need, a new fandom. But, well…Stargate Atlantis is pretty darn good.
A little background. While I like yaoi, I don’t really go much beyond the Weiss fandom. Bly, however, reads a LOT of different stuff. And one day not too long ago, she stumbled across Shepherd/McKay fanfics.
Yes, she started watching the (apparently straight) guys of Stargate Atlantis because she liked reading about them in love. And then she dragged me into it.
But it’s pretty good. Not as good at the start as Firefly, but I’m seeing growth already, and I’ve only watched half of the first season. (Bly, of course, has everything that’s out so far on DVD.) Most shows, as we all know, pretty much suck for the first year or two. It’s because no one wants to invest the time in thinking things out too much till the show gets picked up, and then they’re in too much of a hurry to get the show made before it gets cancelled.
*sighs once more for the incredible Firefly*
Anywhoo. Stargate Atlantis is good, and getting better. I haven’t seen SG-1 (the TV series) and I follow SGA just fine. I would, however, recommend you see the movie. Though I think you could manage without it. You can check it out here. Don’t be afraid. In the show both guys like girls.
