Quick entry...

Just a quick entry whilst I wait for the new 'Lantis episode!

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY mercscilla! I hope you have a fantastic day! :D

Also, congrats to the Adelaide Crows for a fantastic season. I went to the game this afternoon, and we lost, which means that our season is over, but it was a great year. I'm still very proud of my boys.

I also need some help. I have a few friends who are SG1 fans, but they don't like (or haven't seen) SGA. I've decided that I'm going to force them politely suggest that we should have an Atlantis marathon. So, my question: if you are trying to convert someone who already likes SG1 to SGA, what are the best episodes to show them?? (remembering that these people are yet to understand the love of Rodney). Basically, I'd love it if you guys could put yourselves in the mind of a non-fan, and decide which episode would have you hooked? I was going to make this a poll, but there are too many episodes. I'm hoping to get a shortlist from this, and then I'll use those to make a poll. :)

Ok, now I'm off to watch the new ep! :)

Finally, a pic for Supernatural fans:

I would certainly show them the original double episode, because it links in with SG1 characters (for the SG1 fans) and also obviously sets up the universe.

Most people say Hide and Seek was the episode that got them hooked on McKay and I can totally see that.

Then it would depend on whether they like banter or action or whatever. I think the Storm and The Eye were definitel favourites of mine, but I don't know if you'd want to be more into the characters first??

Goodluck. Convert, convert, convert!!!

Yep - I think I'll start with the Rising. A couple of friends have seen those episodes before, but (believe it or not) didn't get hooked. I think they were determined to dislike it because it wasn't SG1 though, so I'm going to make them watch it with an open mind.

I agree that The Storm and The Eye could be good --- there's a lot of action and good effects --- but as you say, I think the later episodes are more enjoyable when you care about the characters... Hmmm... well, hopefully my conversion will be effective! :)
