The Second Experiment

Well, it took a while but I was able to finally finish Smallville.  I finished well before the Series Finale which was what I was shooting for so go me  I spent the next few months catching up on new shows and watching the 3rd iteration of what I think is my favorite  SciFi (SyFy is too dumb for me to use) show of all time: Stargate.  In the same week, 2 of my favorite tv shows aired their series finale (Smallvile and Stargate) so I was forced to fill the quality tv void with crap until the summer shows started up.  Skip ahead 2 months and we finally stop tailgating Netflix from Christy and get our own account.  I realized today that Netflix has EVERY EPISODE OF EVERY STARGATE SHOW EVER CREATED available for streaming!!!!!  My mind was blown, I immediately added them all (3 shows, 2 show themed movies) to our streaming queue, and I was inspired to begin blogging once again (I’m watching the pilot as I type).

My goal:
Watch all of the following shows/movies before the end of 2011 (7/17-12/31):
Stargate SG-1         :   216 episodes     Stargate – Continuum (SG-1 Movie)
Stargate Atlantis  :   99 episodes       Stargate – The Ark of Truth (SG-1 Movie)
Stargate Universe:   40 episodes

Yup, that’s right.  I’m going to watch over 35o episodes and 2 full length movies.  That’s around 15, 382 minutes (256 hours) in 153 days.  That’s an average of 1.675 episodes a day.  This doesn’t sound too bad until I think about the walls I’m no doubt going to hit throughout where I need a break.  We’ll see!

- UPDATE -
Jessica has suggested that since I’m going to watching these on Netflix, I should include the Netflix description of each episode as I blog.  At first I thought that was a great idea, it would help give any non-stargate nerd some background.  Then I realized she was hoping for some ridiculous sounding summaries…   Either way, I’ll be adding that into my posts.
