Some fannish things.

What do you think is the point of selling books on the Amazon marketplace for £0.01? Is it the £2.75 postage and packing? Or are they trying to clear space? Anyhow, I've ordered the first several Stargate books, because £2.76 is still very cheap. I've enjoyed all those I've read so far (A Matter Of Honor, The Cost Of Honor, Roswell, and especially Sacrifice Moon), although [profile] shutthef_uptells me I may have been lucky in my choices. What the hell - I read umpteen Star Trek novels when I was a kid, varying in quality, and the Stargate novels definitely live up to those. Incidentally, has anyone else read How Much For Just The Planet? It's one of my all-time favourites. "This is my Spock officer, Commander Science, and this is Doctor McKay, I mean McCoy." Did Kirk say McKay there, or am I remembering that wrong? I must dig it up and find out.

Meme, snurched from [personal profile] stargazercmc

Empire Magazine has revealed its list of the "50 Greatest TV Shows" ever. So, of course, LJ-ers leaped upon the opportunity and made it into a meme.

a. Bold the shows of which you've watched every episode.
b. Italic the shows of which you've seen at least one episode.
c. Post your answers.


50. Quantum Leap (kind of impossible not to have watched it)
49. Prison Break (ten minutes of the first episode doesn't count, right?)
48. Veronica Mars
47. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
46. Sex & The City

45. Farscape (only seen a few, but will watch it all someday)
44. Cracker
(by which I'll assume they mean the UK series. Seen most of it, but probably will never go back and watch the ones I missed)
43. Star Trek
(I was a Trekkie, but I've never actually managed to see all the original series. Shame on me)
42. Only Fools and Horses
(I don't want to have seen this, because I dislike it thoroughly, but it's unavoidable)
41. Band of Brothers (I will watch it soon, Abyssis!)

40. Life on Mars (someone spoilered me for the end, dammit)
39. Monty Python's Flying Circus (all in one sitting, too. Sponsored, for charity. 24 hours of it.)
38. Curb Your Enthusiasm (seen loads of it, though. I think it's brilliant, but I can't bear it.)
37. Star Trek: The Next Generation
(watched it all, up to a point, and then it just kept going, and going, and going...)
36. Father Ted (genius)

35. Alias
34. Frasier
33. CSI:
Las Vegas (at some point I probably will watch them all, but I'd never buy it)
32. Babylon 5
31. Deadwood (needs subtitles)

30. Dexter
29. ER (stopped watching after college. Srsly, too much to watch every episode)
28.
Fawlty Towers (there's only something like 12 episodes, it's not a feat)
27. Six Feet Under
26. Red Dwarf (nearly all, anyhow. May have missed a few, here and there.)

25. Futurama (love)
24.
Twin Peaks (may have missed the odd ep – but I watched it compulsively at the time)
23. The Office UK
22. The Shield (really? A "Greatest Ever" show?)
21. Angel

20. Blackadder (which should probably be, like, double-bolded or something, because I've seen every episode more than once.)
19. Scrubs
18. Arrested Development
17. South Park
16. Doctor Who (new version) (new version, yes. And a lot of the old, for good measure)

15. Heroes
14. Firefly (must give the DVDs back to my brother)
13. Battlestar Galactica (new version)
12. Family Guy
11. Seinfeld

10. Spaced
09. The X-Files (all of them, up to when the film came out, and then sporadically. It got too frustrating)
08. The Wire
07. Friends
06. 24

05. Lost (I don't see the appeal)
04. The West Wing (must watch)
03. The Sopranos
02. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (should own them all on DVD soon, too)
01. The Simpsons (I can't see them all when they keep making it and I don't have cable – but I've seen most of it)
 
Is it sad that I wanted gradients of italics? And Black Books should totally be on this list. This would certainly not be my choice of 50 Greatest Ever TV Shows.

Speaking of things being all about the hair - which we weren't - just what was Jack doing before this scene (from The Tok'ra pt. 1)? His hair looks like it's making an escape attempt.

It is odd - but given that it was voted for by the readership of a certain magazine, I'm not surprised. It's a combination of sci fi / glossy US show fannishness, geekery, and the lowest common denominator.

I might give DS9 a go, if I see it around - but I kind of fell out of Trek a long time ago. I think I overdosed. :)
