*#@!* Power Company

[wraithfodder]

Wow, the last minute of Stargate Atlantis was... it sucked. Why? Because the (expletive deleted) power company DELIBERATELY CUT THE POWER to our street to fix a problem, a problem they knew about for four hours, so at 9pm, it all went dark. Gee, thanks. So by 5 of 10pm, the power comes back, and then it takes several minutes for the stupid cable box to come back to life, in time for, well... I hope they don't cut our power AGAIN at 11pm.

NOw I have to wait for Sanctuary to drag through an hour. Sigh.

And was I right or waht? Yes, they're pushing Stargate Universe, at least minute. Don't care.

That sucks so hard! The episode was fantastic! (sorry to rub it in). I hate when the power company does that crap.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I was pissed off when I called them. I am just so ****ing sick of them cutting our power because of one area they can't seem to fix properly. Gah, and the worse thing is THEY KNEW about this problem and were there when the SUN WAS STILL UP but waited until it's dark to cut the power? If someone fell down the stairs, they'd be liable. Jerks.

[gatedialer.livejournal.com]

They always do that at the worse times. It happens here often too

[rkbwrites.livejournal.com]

It was sub par episode if you hold it up to other season finales.

Had a Best of Both Worlds vibe goin' on for a bit.

As for Universe, that's the first ad I've seen for it.

Well, least we can say it had a decent run and didn't drag like SG-1 did in the end.

I particularly pissed that I missed FLAHSPOINT on CBS. If anybody knows of a place to download it, let me know.I don't think CBS airs it on their site. But I was really pissed off I missed the end of "Vegas," which I consider a really good SGA episode.

[gatedialer.livejournal.com]

CBS always puts their episodes online to view. Or you can just go to hulu. I could not stand "Vegas" I watched it three times and I just was annoyed by it. Granted, it had some really good parts, but it just irked me some is all.

I liked this episode better than Unending, this one felt like it did come full circle, Atlantis finally returned home. How the movie turns out to be, if there will be one, will be interesting.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'll doublecheck, but honestly, I hate watching tv shows on the computer. I want to burn it to DVD and watch it on the TV. dumb power company. and to think they keep raising our rates!

[dewey3067.livejournal.com]

Umm, I know of a couple of LJ places *looks shifty*
email me: dewey at orcon dot net dot nz and I'll direct you.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I guess it pays to be a sloth ;) Just read the tv guide and they're repeating it this week - so unless the power company decides to do a repeat, I'll be able to get a copy :)

[dewey3067.livejournal.com]

Oh, good - as long as you get it! If for some reason you don't, let me know and I'll email you the name of the comm that will hook you up only can talk about it in locked posts or emails

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally understand. Fingers crossed that no drunk driver slams into a phone pole on Friday night! ;)

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, color me surprised to see that half assed commercial for Universe. Way to rub salt in the wound guys.

As far as I'm concerned? The Stargate franchise has left the building. :(

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

It didn't surprise me, but am annoyed at seeing that 'bug' for BSG in the bottom corner of SGA before it bled off.

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

It didn't surprise me either, pissed me off, but eh? What can I expect? These are the same people that think I'm old.

I didn't see the bug....I was too busy looking a Joe since it'll be the last time I see him on a regular basis for a while. *cries* (And gagging on the McKeller....sorry, just not a fan of that ship)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

well, yeah, saw that part. they had to shoehorn that in ;)McKeller, that is..

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

Damn, now that was the part the power company could of helped you on! lol

Sorry about that though...I hope you give them hell for that kind of BS. You're right, someone could have hurt themselves, especially an elderly person.

I will say that the mention of Hammond made me cry. I knew it was coming, but still, I cried.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

twiddling fingers while sanctuary drags (I have tried to like it, it's okay, but it just doesn't click. if i'd missed it entirely, eh, no biggie)

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I don't make time for it like I do (did) Stargate, Heroes and NCIS. But it's not too bad to pass the time if there is nothing on or I'm bored.

Enjoy the ep the second time round hon!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm watching it right now, thankful we're past the half-hour mark but even though I like the actors in it, the characters well... and the blonde has to go. Yes, zap her, dude. If she says dude one more time.... plus they're turning every historical figure into a former lover or evil villian.

[the-other-sandy.livejournal.com]

I completely gave up on Sanctuary mid-season. I was even supposed to be reviewing it for an SF blog, but I begged them to let me stop and they did. That show was in serious danger of boring me to death.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

If it was airing independently of SGA, I'd probably forget about it. As it is, it's seeing hte actors, and hoping for SGA actors to pop up (like Kavan Smith) that keep me watching. The lead guy (Dunne) mysteriously lost his glasses and doesn't need them anymore. Of course maybe I just forgot. I tried, just like I did with BSG...

[the-other-sandy.livejournal.com]

I think people (like me) were complaining that he looked too much like Daniel Jackson with the glasses.

[gatedialer.livejournal.com]

I did too. That show puts me to sleep.

[monkey-junkey.livejournal.com]

Wow, that sucks, I'm sorry.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Think I'll write a scathing but polite (no bad words) letter to the power company to complain, or maybe the local paper. It's insane that they knew about this problem and decided to wait until rush hour was over to tackle it? Screw the commuters (and I'm one of them). Being without power during the daylight is better than at night.

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

The ending pissed me off big time, but it was an OK ep as far as those things go.
Vegas was by far the better of the two I thought.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

well, if cable doesn't bomb out, i'll find out. god, wish sanctuary would hurry up and end.

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!
The Power company blows!
Gateworld's down too, isn't it?
Maybe it's a conspiracy!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

The thing is, do we lose power when it's sleeting, when the wind is blowing like hell, or pouring rain? No, it's quiet outside, not a cloud in the sky, and poof. I swear, it's like they hate our street.

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

see above edit. I think there's a conspiracy afoot.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

GW went down but it's back now, which is probably not a good sign. it means, well, not a lot of people are over there talking. maybe they just went 'meh' after seeing it and that's it.

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

I still can't access it, so maybe that's part of the reason it's light on people?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

came back fine for me. i'm avoiding the spoiler areas as I haven't seen all of the finale yet. seen the end, and know a lot, but it's not the same as watching it.

[smileleigh.livejournal.com]

I would have screamed!

As it is I warned people in the house that I was watching it and if they messed with me I'd make them regret it big time.

My brother, tested the limits. Now I have to plot revenge.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I did scream and say bad words. The cat is in hiding ;) I'm just so ticked they did, plus it's friggin freezing outside! Hello, yes, let's freeze the people now that the temps are going to single digits, instead of cutitng power when it was about 20 degrees warmer. ah, cat is back. gave me evil eye. oh oh.

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

Actually, I figured it out, I can't access the main site, which is how I usually navigate to the forum. Going directly to the forum works.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh, I tend to go straight to the forum. Less clicking :)

[djlmarks.livejournal.com]

Oh my gawd that sucks, I am so sorry!! I hate it when the power co does crap like that!! Are they replaying it after Sanctuary?...I hope so. I must say I am proud that they followed in true "Star Trek Academy" form and landed in my lovely San Francisco Bay!! That makes me happy. Wanna visit??
Must say that I really thought they would kill someone off...but about the time they brought f%&*ing Cavanaugh back, I thought, all right,it's freakin' reunion! Then Ronon died....I thought I was going to lose it, but then I realized, I know where this story line is going...I think I wrote in my head already!!

p.s. I can't wait to see the new installment of Action Figure Theater with the new ones. Please do horrible things to Jennifer...that DO NOT involve Rodney. He must remain chaste.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, fingers crossed that cable doesn't bomb out now. Ten minutes till SGA, although I hope they don't stick awful ads over the bottom.

WEll, I don't have a Jennifer AF yet, but once I do (and someone will give me her extra), I plan to buy some railroad tracks... *cough*

[djlmarks.livejournal.com]

(imagine Mr Burns voice)

"Excellent!"

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

:D

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

I think I like Kavanaugh better than Keller! :(

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh, gotta think on that... thinking...

[mantriddrone.livejournal.com]

unfortunately you missed one of the few decent episodes this year.

i imagine you can catch up with the missing bits on youtube, or download them from one of the million torrent sites out there

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm watching it right now. Power holding, still there. fingers crossed!

[supamikeymon.livejournal.com]

The TV station did pretty much the same thing to me during the last episode of Heroes I watched...

I'm so glad though, NBC streams Heroes. :)

[rodneysgirl89.livejournal.com]

ugh! i saw that too! trying to sneak in that little bit of Universe when it was atlantis time...i was pissed.
