Yeah, I had a really hard time watching SGA, too. I marathoned the first couple of seasons and I think I saw s3 not too long after it aired, but then I didn't get around to s4 and s5 till after the show was over with. (It really helps to have knitting I need to do and hence a need to find TV to sit down in front of for hours at a time. I've gotten through a lot of things I might not have otherwise bothered with since I had something to help keep me entertained and productive but not interfere with my ability to follow a plot.) It really is a case of a show I can't stand but a fandom I felt compelled to give myself the canon backstory for. (Also, it vids well.)
