8 years of tv backlog
I just watched the Stargate Atlantis finale for the first time while eating dinner tonight - I'd lost interest by Season 5, for reasons I no longer remember, and nobody seemed enthused about it at the time, so I just never bothered. And yeah, that was... an hour of tv. Pretty big contrast to the SG1 finale, which was a fanservicey hour of the characters basically just hanging out together, forever. This one was a pretty typical 'save Earth from the alien menace' episode that felt oddly generic. The most emotional moment might have been the reference to General Hammond/Don Davis passing away, and I don't think Sheppard ever even met him.
Three random thoughts:
1. It amuses me that poor Major Davis is the one character in this universe who never seems to get promoted. Somewhere out there today, Sam is a general and Davis is still a Pentagon flunky.
2. If I ever knew that they resurrected Dr. Beckett, I'd forgotten about it, so his appearance was a bit of a surprise. Had to check to see if that was a storyline or if they just suddenly made him un-dead for the hell of it (sadly the former).
3. Fifteen seasons of SG1 and SGA, and Rodney McKay is (if I remember correctly) the one character who walks off into the sunset with an unequivocal canon romance. There's just something wrong about that.

It's strange what one is left with after the winds of time have eroded the memories.
Oh man, yes. And it's very different for me with different fandoms - I could probably still recite whole episodes of Buffy or The X-Files verbatim, but with Stargate, there are some things I remember perfectly and others that have been garbage collected right out of my brain.
