Stargate 25th Anniversary Watch List

Hello Madrona Members (and non-members on my LJ flist as I am cross-posting this there)!

This is primarily to update members of the Madrona Project writing community and to ask for feedback. If you are not a member of Madrona and happen to read this post and would like to make suggestions, please do! The more the merrier.

The last two years have been a major transition period for our little writing comm. Most of the changes have been behind the scenes and are still ongoing. This update is to let you all know what has been going on, what changes to expect, and what we need help with. There will also be a lot of opportunities to give feedback.

This post is going to have a lot of information. Please read it very carefully, all the way through, before leaving questions or comments. I am going to try to address all the questions and problems that have come up. Buckle up, its going to be a long, bumpy ride.

This year is the 25th anniversary of Stargate. To celebrate, I thought I would do a complete re-watch of the franchise and thought others might want to do the same. I am not going to do a formal group rewatch as in “today we are watching such and such an episode at such and such a time” as that is too hard to organize between the sheer amount of content, time zones, my unpredictable internet access, and content availability. However, I am willing to put up discussion posts, if people are interested. And I am putting a link to this in my “important links” sticky post so it's easier to find.

With the help of several sources, this is the best complete list of episodes and movies and what order to watch them in I could come up with. The official anniversary is in October. I hope to be done by then. Have fun!

Stolen from everyone

* Tattoos: Not yet

* Ever hit a deer: Not personally.

* Ridden in an ambulance: Yes

* Sang karaoke: A few times. Always Rocky Horror Picture Show tunes

* Ice skated: Nope

* Ridden a motorcycle: A few times. Both my grandfathers had one, my dad had one, my dad's best friend had one, five of my eight uncles had them...

* Stayed in a hospital: Yup. When I was little, I had to go back under the grow bulb, as Mom puts it.

* Skipped school: Kinda?

* Last phone call: Vexed, so says my call history

* Last text from: I am going to guess Dotty's daily morning “happy” text

* Watched someone die: Yeah. From the responses I have see from other people, I am guessing sitting with the elderly and the terminally ill at the end so they aren't alone when they go isn't a thing in other people's families...

* Pepsi or coke: In general, I do have a long standing preference for Coke products and brands over Pepsi ones, but when I am drinking soda I tend to drink ginger beer, cream soda, or whatever weird find I have found at Grocery Outlet.

* Favorite Pie: Blackberry or whatever pie Uncle Chuck has brought.

* Favorite pizza: My favorite pizza is the one I have not paid for. Seriously though, I am really flexible on this. If left to my own devices, I look for the pizza with the most toppings and thinnest crust. From Fat Cat Pizza, I get the Pappa Kitty (all the meats). From Pizza Deli/Wild Rivers Pizza & Brewery, I get either Spirit of America or Deli Delight (I can't ever remember which one is which, but one is all the meats and the other is all the meats with olives and mushrooms). From Zola's, I get the three meat with jalapenos and olives with gluten free crust because obviously I am with Nick. If I'm feeling nostalgic, I get/make either Canadian bacon with pineapple and tomatoes or pepperoni covered liberally with crushed pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese. But I really don't care enough to have a preference when asked when we are getting pizza. Just give me pizza.

* Favorite season: Fall!

* Broken bones: My right arm, my nose, and possibly one of my toes.

* Received a ticket: A tad difficult when one doesn't drive.

* Favorite color: Purple, but I also prefer colors in the cold spectrum and reds.

* Sunset or sunrise: I dunno. Sunset is always super early so I see it almost everyday and if I see sunrise, it means I haven't gone to bed yet and that is rarely a good thing.
