I wish Stargate Atlantis S4 would hurry up and get here. I mean, what the hell! I thought you yanks didn't do endless hiatuses?!?!  (I acknowledge that this might be part of my American fairytale, as first taught by Jerry Springer... letting that show get past your borders was undoubtebly the biggest mistake in the history of the country! I don't know anyone of my generation whose perceptions of the US weren't formed by it and one day I'm really going to have to sit down and get some things straight (starting with your educational system and your collective fashion sense!)).

But really, I've read HP7, I've seen HP5 and I've been informed that Transformers and Shrek 3 are nothing to get exited about. 
My life has become EMPTY! (I mean, I'm going on vacation tomorrow, but beyond then that, EMPTY!)

And I'm really curious if the bigwigs have managed to ruin my greatest guilty pleasure (I don't feel guitly, it just sounds good). Because the casting spoilers are making me a mite nervous.

Supposedly Carter is going to be in charge of Atlantis... Just NO! Carter is one of the biggest canon Mary-Sue's ever created! Don't get me wrong, I love her. But if she goes to Atlantis, then what exactly will be the purpose to John and Rodney? She outranks John. She can do everything Rodney does, while being universally loved! She's not nearly quirky enough! 

Yes Carter and Rodney thrown together are always entertaining, but I have a terrible fear they'll just use it as an exuse to further ignore Rodney's heroic tendencies and play up his comic relief role.

The whole popularity thing, (jocks vs geeks) hollywood's always going on about. Is it really that extreme?

Well, I graduated in 88 so I can't speak for today's teens, but when I was in school in wasn't as extreme as Hollywood portrays. But it was there. We had Jocks, Geeks (though I think we called them brains), and the "heads" which were the head banging, hard drinking, tough guys (and girls)-I.E the dangerous people. There were a lot of other categories too and some of them crossed over. But I found College (University) was a whole new ball game where none of the former labels applied.
