Why boredom can be dangerous
Jun. 20th, 2010 10:34 pmSaw The A-Team today. Rather liked it. Now, I've never seen the original and know next to nothing about it, but the film, in and of itself, was pretty damn good. Never boring, always moving and very, very fun. And while there were a few moments where disbelief was not suspended so much as thrown out the window (dude, I'm pretty sure physics is against that), overall it was an engaging and enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Family with cell phone and kids that would not sit the hell down, and (middle aged!) couple who would not stop playing grabass aside.
My favorite part of the movie? Murdock. I first became interested in The A-Team when it was released that Liam Neeson was involved. Once I found out Sharlto Copley was in on it as well, I was sold. Copely, so utterly fantastic in District 9, appears to be having an absolute ball in this film. I want more, just so we can watch him. The team dynamic plays out really well, too, so I think they could hold up one or two sequels.
Anywho: Boredom. DANGEROUS.
I've been continuing on my long SG-1 craving marathon (just finished working my way through season eight, about to start nine (woot!)), and was pondering the relationships on the show when something got the best of my curiosity. I've commented before on Daniel and his bionic pheromones, but the more I contemplated it, the less sure I was that he garnered the most... attraction on the show. The thought nagged at me for a few days. Then at work (as I do), I decided to write it all out. So I made a column for each of the four main characters and started scribbling down those loves, marriages, crushes, flings and unrequited possibilities the quartet encountered. This being SG-1, I of course included any Alternate Universe relationships.
Then, when I got home, I read through the seasons to make sure I didn't miss any (bless you, GateWorld), made sure I had all the names correct and all the episode titles right, added on the season/episode numbers, and scribbled them on a dry-erase board.
This is what I came up with:
( All you need is love )
Seriously, give me a bit longer, and I'll know all these episode titles and numbers by heart. It's a bit ridiculous.
I think my next comparison will be to see who "died/appeared to die/sort of died but came back/was thought to be truly and completely dead" the most times. My money is on Jack. One word: "Abyss".
