Ya know, I don't have cable, or satellite. It was thanks to a good friend that I discovered this show, and I did so when she found cute McShep videos on YouTube and she'd link me to them occasionally, and I'd be like "whoa, who are these cute guys? Okay, so that one guy... you said he's McKay, right? Who's the other guy he just kissed? And who're the pale skinny guys with the long stringy hair?"
It got to the point where I was reading McShep fictions and browsing videos on my own time (over a dialup connection, people! If that ain't dedication, I don't know what is!) and Melissa said I was probably the only fan of the show that had never seen a single episode. My Christmas present was the season 1 box set, ordered off Amazon for me.
After a while she got this bright idea of mailing me her external hard drive with a bunch of episodes she downloaded. Yep, her little hard drive--whom we named Chuck, after none other than SGA's own Chucknician--made several trips back and forth from Texas (her) to Kentucky (me), ferrying wonderful sci-fi. It's only recently that she's started sending me SG-1 eps as well, although those are gonna take a lot more time to go through. Oh, and she gave me a couple of seasons of Farscape as well, though I've only watched a few eps since I'm kinda hung up on Jack O'Neill's thinly-disguised flirting with Daniel Jackson.
