d3ny everything: "SG1 isn't that bad..."

OK, so I sat down and watched a full episode of SG1 the other night - it was called "Avenger 2.0". It was full of self-referential uber-geek humour, it played on the stereotypes of geeks (i.e. IT people) and grunts, the acting was Congo-esque, and the story was apalling. Basically some geek was going to get fired from SGC for being useless, so he creates a virus which can knock out stargates, by scrambling coordinates or something, there was lots of talk of uploading and protocols and things being off-line and DHDs and networks and essentially it was sys-admin wank. I guess fanboys would get excited about their own crap sysadmin job if they thought is was as kewl as that... BSG followed SG1 and while it was crap too, it was better. Actually it seems that pretty much any space sci-fi TV shows suck - please point out any exceptions... I have heard good things about Firefly and Serenity but can't comment myself.

And to conclude this SG1 bashing, I was searching for the link about filling JD bottles with petrol and putting them in a campfire until they explode when my eyes were literally scorched from my head by google returning results which included slasher and gay SG1 fanfic...OMG... I can't recall the exact search terms, but it was a combination of "jack daniel bottle crazy fire" I think.... [shudder] what are these SG1 fans LIKE?!?

Also, F1 went to Melbourne on Sunday and boy was it awesome. Alonso was truly "imperious" as James Allen said; I was holding out for Schuey to catch Button, til he crashed but HAHA Button blew up on the final corner. It was one of the craziest action packed GPs I have seen for a while. And yes, as Ian said, Sky's preview show was crapulent.
