I spent much of last summer watching Andromeda. A friend gave me his collection and I could not resist watching one episode after another. Since my job as Handicraft Director had very clear beginning and ending times, I would slip into my room and watch a few episodes while other friends were working in their areas, or while everyone was playing the 10,000th round of Super Smash Brothers (in my circle of friends, I only bother playing against a couple of people, since the others are masters of the smash).
Now I find myself a little low on sci-fi to watch while I plan lessons.
I have seen all of Andromeda. All of SG-1. Netflix is currently out of stock in Farscape season 1 and they can’t deliver Stargate: Atlantis discs fast enough. My Firefly discs sit on the shelf… I love that show too much to watch it much more, because I don’t want to kill it. (I have seen every episode at least three times, many of them 5 or more).
The last couple weeks I have found myself re-watching especially good episodes of SG-1 and tentatively restarting Andromeda. the problem with this is that I have been watching SG-1 off and on for about four years, and have already seen every episode. As much as I love that show, absorbing 10 years of episodes in only 4 years (most of them in the last year) approaches the SG saturation point. And Andromeda is a problem because as fun as it can be, the series suffered from a woefully inconsistent level of quality, not to mention at least two major identity crises.
Enough. Time to get back to work.
