ImmerRDA: Welcome welcome Come and join us, have fun I´m also a Stargate fan, I used to watch it every afternoon after school. I loved the show. I wasn´t too crazy about seasons 9+10 :-( I just couldn´t get into it, I missed Jack too much. He was such a great character. I liked Sam Carter, too. I haven´t seen the season where she works as a leader in SGA, I need to check it out. Looking forward to talking to you about LOTS and other things Hi gibbynka! I agree with you about seasons 9 and 10. I like Ben Browder and Claudia Black but the show just wasn't the same without Richard Dean Anderson. But his reasons for leaving the show were for a good cause and I can't fault him for that. I am a die-hard RDA fan and have followed his career since he started on General Hospital - cough, cough - 32 years ago! Boy, does that make me feel old! However, I am ecstatic about LotS and this site looks like a wonderful place to be. Everyone seems so friendly and I like that it is a relatively small group.

You´re right, I like Ben and Claudia as actors, but I was saddened to see such a big change in the team dynamics. It was almost like watching a completely different show, a big shift from the earlier seasons. Anyway, RDA is great, I only watched him as MacGyver and really enjoyed that show, too. I´ve never seen General Hospital. And don´t worry, you´re not old ;-) We´re only as old as we feel. And you, a fantasy and sci-fi fan, must be very young at heart This forum is really great It´s a wonderful place to be, because it welcomes every single member with open arms

We are small but you know we've only been up and running for like a week and a half so we're doing pretty good considering. I didn't mind CB and BB - although Cam never really appealed to me that much, it was those damned Orri who I didn't like *Shudders" Welcome to the boards immerrda! If you've got more friends who have found the show and enjoy it, invite them over here, the more the merrier

Hi there! I've just registred, since I've heard this forum is the place to go for best fangirlish LotS experience I haven't had the time to look around yet, but feel obliged to introduce myself first, so here goes: I'm Maja, a.k.a. ladymajavader, because Star Wars is my one true love, my religion and my fannish alma mater (and my own father gave me that nick when I was about 14). I'm from Poland, I'm a rabid fangirl of many different fandoms (though somehow most of them being fantasy/sci-fi), I'm an obsessive-compulsive vidder, I favour dry humour and worship kickass female tv icons. I don't like talking about myself too much, but love talking fandom - and can be quite opinionated and verbose at that I'm an old-time book fan; I fell in love with the Sword of Truth series and devoured first 8 volumes instantly - but that was all there was at the time, and between the wait for 'Chainfire' and my life getting suddenly hectic, I fell off the bandwagon and never read the end of the series. I'm violently in love with the show now, for different reasons than the books, because it is essentially different. But I actually enjoy that the plotlines are changed and a mystery to me, instead of gritting my teeth and pulling hair about it. The show's a bit cheesy, but it's a good kind of cheese; the writing is mostly competent, the actors are gorgeous, talented people and last but not least, it is simply stunning visually. It completely captured my heart and worse, my vidding muse which is simply raging with ideas and the need to produce LotS fanvids You might be assaulted with my vids - you have been warned I'll be back tommorrow to get to know you all and the forum (can't wait!); in the meantime you can check me out at LJ (as ladymajavader), since I haven't even filled out my profile here yet - oops. cheers Maja

MAJA's here!!! Yay! I'm a former SW nut also - I love LotS because it reminds me so much of Star Wars in all of the best ways. Because Richard and Kahlan are some of my favorite literary couples I just feel like this show is home to me Keep two tabs open hon, Livejournal on one and CandS in the other Erika

*waves* My name is Em and I came here via a Smallville board, so I am a Lois/Clark fan though I mostly lurk in that fandom, since time doesn't allow me for more. I have been posting at another LOTS board, but that one has a lot of negative folks so I am hoping this place might be a better fit. I am a long time fantasy reader and sci-fi watching fan. Since people brought up Stargate - I just started watching the show, and so far I am liking it. However, I am a huge Farscape fan, so one of the main reasons I decided to watch the show was because of Ben and Claudia in the later seasons. I almost skipped to their seasons, but decided to just watch it from the start. So right now I am only in the first season. I think I am going to be sad when Jack leaves, but I can't wait to see Ben on my TV, so I will get over it, lol. I got into LOTS because, like so many others, I read the books and fell in love. I don't mind the changes being made, even though there are a few I wish they hadn't done. I look forward to seeing how the TV show plays out. I guess I will go and take a look around here now

Hi Em! Welcome to our boards. This is a fanboard for the show, not a place for fanboys to complain about the changes. I created it to be a haven for Kahlan/Richard shippers. Glad to see you found us through DI? Yeah you have a long while before Claudia and Ben appear on the SG1, just sit back and enjoy the ride though. Michael Shanks is wonderful eye candy

Pretty good I would say! There might be some other males, but I think you're the only one who regularly posts Don't worry, they'll start coming. However, it's a good sign that women are flocking to the show

Hi all, My name is Rachel and this is my first posting ever! I am 24, and am currently in graduate school in Pa. This is all super new to me, but I am so glad to have found this site- and finally got up the courage to make a post! It was so hard the first couple of weeks LotS was on, as it seemed all I could find was people complaining about the show...glad to see that is so not the case here. Growing up I was a huge Xena fan, so when I saw Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi were back to do LotS I was very excited. And the show thus far has not disappointed! Richard and Kahlan are soo cute together! Thanks for having this awesome site, with the best pic gallery out there! Looking forward to reading and posting more soon!

Welcome to the boards, Rachel! The hardest part - mustering the courage to start posting - is behind you, now the real fun begins! And yes, The Confessor and Seeker society is mercifully devoid of the naysayers and complaining fanboys - we're here mostly to squee about R/K, whatever particulars Tapert and Raimi add to their story in its tv incarnation. That, and we objectify shirtless Richard something fierce

That, and we objectify shirtless Richard something fierceThat should be added as a must to the boards rules If any males would come out of lurking, we DO have an objectify Kahlan thread too - we're equal opportunists...really Welcome Kieracye! I was trying hard not to create a fan community for this show since I already have a boards that I run for Smallville and Terminator, but after seeing the fanboy hate out there I just had to do it. I'm glad that people are enjoying this place. Don't be a stranger Kalifa Wow! We've certainly got a nice international group of members here Welcome!
