BWAHAHA. I told you this would happen. Exactly this. You will finish Sanctuary, I said, and need more Amanda Tapping in your life and then you will watch Stargate. Bwwwaaahhahahaha.
Okay. Start with the pilot. It's ridiculous, but also necessary. And Sam's first scene is hilarimazing.
I have trouble reccing eps like this, because I am such an obsessive about watching shows straight through. You should definitely watch the first five eps – through and including 'The Broca Divide' – and 'Cold Lazarus'. Those will set you up. (And maybe we should watch 'Emancipation' together, because -- oh my GOD, the fail entertainment value is so high. Also Sam wears a very special hat.) If you want to skip, Sam really starts coming into her own in 'Solitudes' (trapped on a glacier with MacGyver!) and one of my very favorite episodes, 'Singularity.' That'll keep you for a bit.
Shut uuuuuuup, don't mock me. YOU TOO KNOW THE POWER OF AMANDA TAPPING'S STUPID FACE.
I really prefer watching straight through too, and I have tried that with the Stargates before, but the trouble is I don't much LIKE them. Though all my previous SG posts are basically "I don't understand where people get Jack/Daniel from BUT WOW SAM IS AWESOME ISN'T SHE." So either I will get sucked in this time now that I am already Tappingized, or I will need to grit my teeth and pop in and out to eps where Sam is truly incredible. I will give the first few a try, though - I don't remember anything about them.
Props for not immediately just recommending that I go straight to the Janet eps, though. I'm impressed. :D
