1) the Region 1 boxset is out. The DVD extras make me drool.
I *can* wait until x-mas, can't I? ::pulls face and sits on hands:: wah.
2) ::gigglesnorts:: Atlantean universal translator, and whatnot.
The comments are hilarious: "Because - there could be a scene in which Ronon asks Teyla why it is that he often understands the *words* that Sheppard is saying and yet does not understand what he *means*. And Teyla says, very seriously, that the earth humans have a god called The Simpsons back at home, and they like to quote his scriptures."

3) Question: is it common in your experience for non-fandom people to refer to Stargate: Atlantis as SGA? My roommate and her boyfriends mention that everyone else they know call it "Stargate Atlantis" or "Atlantis", never "SGA". I've been poking around some on my end and it seems likely too, but maybe that's just where I live...
(am very curious because in an interview Hewlett mentioned that he, and maybe others? I'm not sure, has started calling the show SGA. I'm betting that it's been transmitted from fandom via Nykls, who, y'know, has been proven tostalk keep an eye on the LJ comms. god I love this fandom)
On a non-fannish note, apparently the 2004 election *was* stolen. Not really a surprise, but apparently they have third-party confirmation now. ::facepalm::

1) Christmas exists to taunt us for 255 days of the year.
2) Hee! I just keep imagining that scene with Ronon with this little lightbulb over his head and Teyla just doing the you-silly-children benevolent mommy smile...
3) =D but like, does anyone who hasn't already been exposed at length to fandom use it regularly themselves? ::curious::

1) Does your Christmas run for 101 days? Cos, dude, if so I'm coming to your house. [/teasing]
2. Ronon is the best straightman ever.
3. I did some research on this important question last night, and can report that in Australia, among the die-hard techhead fans at least, it is "Atlantis". SG-1 is SG-1 if your introduction to Gateverse was the original movie, but if SG-1 was your starting point, then you refer to it as "Stargate". I hope this helps. =D

2. ::nods:: EVER.
3. oooo! yes, yes it does. XD Dude, they *so* know of fandom, and that's not even counting Nykl and his keeping an eye on the LJ comms....
