Sorry for the absence...

wiseheart... it's nothing personal. Just a lot of work, way too little spare time and a ruined thumb (through too much hand-writing in weird positions and too much typing, I guess). So I have my right hand either wrapped or in a bracer, and what little I'm allowed to type I spare for the "Atlantis Café" updates (read the latest on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
otherworlds_lib), as the story seems to roll forward rather nicely at the moment.
I'm sorry I missed much of what was happening on my flist *is contrite*. There were days I didn't even switch my PC on. Next week promises to be hectic, too, and I have to be careful with my hand, so bear with me. *hugs flist*
Additon:
Watched the SGU pilot. Am not terribly impressed. Scroll down the comments if you want to know what I thought about it.
Thumb seems to have healed completely. *knocks on wood*
Work's still eating me alive. Well, at least tomorrow there's another "Primeval" episode to cheer me up. It's quite trash, too, but at least different. Even as a re-run, it can keep me in front of the telly for an hour.

Date: 2010-02-22 08:18 pm (UTC)The thumb thing apparently wasn't quite as bad as I've feared. It still hurts from time to time, but it has got considerably better since the weekend, so I'm being carefully optimistic. ;)

Date: 2010-02-24 11:07 am (UTC)Seriously, do keep resisting the temptation, though. Plenty of experiences with hurt ankles taught me that straining it too early even for just a day or so throws you back at the very least a week of recovery.

Date: 2010-02-24 09:42 pm (UTC)I can see your point with the potential the series has. I certainly find the command structure tension and the presence of civilians who are not automatically part of the military hierarchy interesting, but on the whole... Well, it wasn't as I'd feared, but not anywhere near as good as I'd hoped. Can't say how much of that is due to lacking the whole character exposition early on in the episode which might have made me care about their fate, possibly even like them. As it's, I found the drama far too melodramatic. The only character I like so far is Dr Rush.

Date: 2010-02-24 10:19 pm (UTC)So far, the only character *I* like is Eli Wallace. He's cute. And he's chubby. And he loves his Mum, when sci-fi characters are usually supposed to have issues with their parents. What particularly angers me, is the fact that all women seem to be young, fresh, slim and sexy again. We've got the blonde Barbie bimbo, the dark-haired femme fatale who shags her immediate superior in a cargo room, the petite brunette with the trembling lips and the big doe-eyes *and* the supposedly exotic oriental woman. *All* of them under 30, ready fall for the heroes.
Excuse me while I'm going to the bathroom for a bucket.
Yep, you're right, the drama is seriously overdone. I only hope that the characters will eventually grow on me (Colonel Young actually might, depending on what they're going to do with him), because otherwise this will be one boring series.
