I love science fiction movies and I love war movies (Don't know what this reveal about my psyche). Put this together and what do you have- Stargate.

No, I have not abandoned Star Trek. That is still my first love. However now I have a new love interest...
Never seen this one Alex. Maybe I'll have to watch it at hulu.com.

I wish you lived nearer - then I can borrow your DVDs!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the original stargate movie (starred Michael Douglas if I am not mistaken) and watched a few episodes of the TV series ... then one day (over here) it was on TV but MacGyver was missing :-( I actually caught it again a few days ago and found that he was back - I suppose guest starring but now as General O Neill (man, he looks old)
Haven't seen the Atlantis version ...

I enjoyed the interactions between the team members.
