Well, you know. You saw Justice League, right? How could I NOT have a massive man crush on Jason Momoa? So I did what any self-respecting, OCD nerd with a massive man crush would do: I checked IMDb to see what else Mr. Momoa had been in. Which is when Stargate: Atlantis caught my eye.
I'd been vaguely aware of the Stargate Universe for some time. I'd never actually watched any of the shows or movies, though. Nor was I even vaguely interested in seeing any of them. They looked really bad to me. Dorky. Goofy. Silly.
But hey, Jason Momoa. And besides, Atlantis. Best of all, the Louisville Free Public Library had the entire series on dvd. So I requested the first season.
I was disappointed to learn that JM wouldn't show up until Season 2, but I figured I'd get a running start, and put disc one of season one in anyway. And I was intrigued by the first episode. There was evidence of a sense of humor in the writing, but it was also pretty compelling storytelling. And there were several good characters. And there was Rachel Luttrell . . . who was kind of hot. (Quite hot, actually.) So I kept watching. Got slowed down a bit when Joe decided he wanted in, but I enjoyed his company enough to be okay with slowing down my roll.
And now . . . we've just finished the third of five discs, and I realized today, after watching "The Defiant One," that I realky liked this show. So I'm still anxious for Jason Momoa to rear his lovely head, but I am grooving on this thing in and of and for itself now as well.

Hmmm. Maybe I should give that Stargate movie a look . . . .
