oyceter: Delirium from Sandman with caption "That and the burning baby fish swimming all round your head" (delirium)

Things I have realized after talking to the boy on the phone

1) I think I'm growing very fond of Stargate because for some reason it reminds me of Angel season 1. And despite most people liking Buffy better than Angel and despite my infatuation with Buffy, my heart lies with the AI crew because, well, I watched them from the beginning. On my computer, but still. Emotional connections were formed ;). Anyway, like Angel season 1, some of the first episodes of Stargate are extremely hokey and sometimes the effects annoy me. Like, why do all the Greek-esque people in Brief Candle wear really colorful clothing and lots of flowers on their heads? But I love Jack's snarkiness, I love Sam as the sturdy, reliable 2IC, I love stoic Teal'c who occasionally gets to say things like: (re his staff weapon) "I have seen your world. I need this." And I love geeky Daniel. Although strangely, I have not been feeling the Daniel love as much, but I think that's because he hasn't really had an episode to himself yet. I really like it when Sam and Daniel get to be geeky together. It's this sort of strange, mixed up, no one knows how it happened, family feel that really echoes what I though Angel/Cordy/Doyle and Angel/Cordy/Wes felt like. None of them is really quite sure how they got there, but goddamnit, they're following through with their mission and protecting their teammates anyway.

2) I have a strange phobia regarding teeth. The catalyst for this realization was my dream last night, in which I dreamt my teeth got wiggly and then two of them fell out. So I had a hole in my mouth, and they wouldn't grow back because they were adult teeth. Then I told the boy about it and realized just how strange it sounded. Especially since this is not the first time I have had a dream and my teeth have fallen out. So. I am afraid my teeth will fall out someday and not grow back.

I'm a lot weirder than even I thought!

Surprisingly, teeth-falling-out dreams are pretty common. I have them quite a bit - you're not alone. Leaves me really paranoid about my teeth for several days after.

I'm sure your teeth will be fine for decades to come :)

Think I'm going to try to get into Stargate once it starts rerunning on SPACE here in Canada. Last week I watched the cast receive an award for best Canadian sci-fi series, and those guys were just hilarious. So watching the actors enjoying themselves receiving an award is getting me to watch the show itself. Weird, but whatever works :) I love Angel S1 and their small band of outcasts, the family feel. If what you say is true, hopefully I'll see that same family closeness in Stargate!

Love Rheanna's fic too, but I didn't know she'd written Stargate. Cool, gotta look that up. Sam-bashing? Oh, that's no fun. But good gen fic can really hit the spot when it comes to new fandoms and shows I'm not too knowledgeable about. If you have any recs, let me know!
