2. Never understood the appeal of Star Gate: SG1 or Star-Gate:Atlantis, although I think I like the spin-off better. Just couldn't get into them. Won't miss them. Found the fact they were on all the time on Sci-Fi sort of annoying.
Agreed. Of course, when it first came to SciFi, it was also one of the indirect deciding factors in Farscape's cancellation, which really annoyed me and lots and lots of people. Because Farscape's ratings never dropped. They basically remained the same. When SciFi brought on Stargate from Showtime, however, the ratings were so much larger than Farscape that Farscape seemed to be a ratings failure by comparison. It was beyond irritating at the time that SciFi gave preferential treatment to a show that they had bought from another network and ditched their own original series, and particularly one that was so much more intelligent and complex than Stargate. I've mostly forgiven them now, though, since the miniseries finished the arc so beautifully. But it was very irritating at the time to see Stargate playing all the time, whereas it was almost impossible to find a Farscape rerun.
4. Fully agreed about Buffy's later seasons being superior, although my favorite was probably the fifth.
6. I love Boston Legal. Actually, it's funny. My mom's a lawyer and always hated watching legal shows, like "Why would I want to do this all day as a job and then come home and watch a show about people doing my job?" But she watched one episode with me and was completely hooked. Really just a matter of taste. The show can be almost indefensibly silly and over-the-top, but for some reason, it is the perfect show for me. I can't explain why but I just love it.
7. My favorite male character on BSG is Apollo. Yes, still. And I am a Starbuck/Apollo shipper, because their relationship is sooo painful, yet also sooo real. I know, I know, people hate Apollo, think he's an ass, etc. But I like him. And I think Jamie Bamber the actor who plays him is hot.
Agreed.
8. I don't get Wentworth Miller either. I don't find him particularly attractive. Not that he's particularly unattractive, but I don't get why everyone swoons. Meh.
