questions from a newbie!

Hi! I've been watching SG1 for maybe six months now from syndicated reruns (i think that's third season?) and have fallen in love with this show. I started watching because i loved the movie and rented the first CD of the Season One dvd set. The show finally made sense after seeing the pilot! (I'd tried to watch before, but never could figure it out.) Anyway, since X-Files is over (sob!), I'm ready to jump feet first into SG1. I know, I know, it's almost over too, but there's still a few years of episodes that are all new to me. So on to my questions!

1) what's the best way to see old episodes? do i need to wait until Sci-Fi channel airs them in the fall? i thought I could download some online, but it looks like that isn't going to work out.

2) what episodes are of most importance? i've been reading some episode transcripts online.

3) i love fanfic, but i'm having a hard time figuring out what to read because most of it seems to involve episode spoilers, and since i don't know yet by the title of the ep whether i've seen it or not (most likely not), i'm not sure which fic i can read.

4) what's with all the slash fic? this fandom *seems* to have more slash fic than other fandoms. just an oddity? just curious!

5) where are the best SG1 websites?

6) where can i get some juicy pics of Daniel? :-)

Spoiler:
majorly sad that he's gone, btw!!


7) uh, any and all other info would be appreciated!

thanks so much, and I hope y'all are a friendly group. at least i know you have good taste in entertainment. :-)

There is a way you can download them online. I warn you that they aren't great quality, and the download sites are unreliable. It's also illegal to put the episodes on the Internet, and the sites are always being threatened (probably hoaxes) and it makes them shut down.
Peer-to-peer programs are another way you can download them.

2) what episodes are of most importance? i've been reading some episode transcripts online.



The episodes about the Goa`uld, the Tok'ra, the Asgard are the important ones.
There are a lot of episodes (the crap ones) that don't seem to have anything to do with the major plot of the series, and seem to just be rejected scripts from other TV shows rewritten for SG-1.
I'm not going to give you a list of the ones I feel are important, because it should be up to you to watch them all and decide which ones are.

There is a fan fic forum here on thise website, perhaps you can ask the locals in there about which fanfic are non-spoiler ones.

Lonely middle-aged women write those. Most of them used to be fans of "MacGyver" and now are well into Michael Shanks. So they write down their twisted fantasies.

quote:

5) where are the best SG1 websites?



I can't help you there, I hate most of them. I get all the info I need by posting questions right here. If someone gives me a link to what I need... hoorah.
What kind of site are you after?

P2P (peer to peer) networks/software

Morpheus was the best, but the new (ish) preview version sucks big time. You can find eps from low qual 20 megs to the HQ fiels that run into 100s of MB.
The launch date of Morpheus 2 has been 'in around 2 weeks' for what seems like forever. I would recommend that you wait until its released. There is KaZaA Media Desktop 1.7 that can be downloaded here , but it has nasty spyware. Morpheus on the other hand doesnt have it.

There are also things like
E Donkey 2000, but i used it once and couldnt make it work proper. Also this is mainly for the high quality eps that run into the hundreds of megs.

And if you want music, Audio Galaxy is the quickest and most reliable i've found.

For pics, check the link to my site in the sig below.
