Somewhere between snide remarks of “Blah-ttlestar Dramatica” and my pride, I found an appreciation of Battlestar Galactica. It took a long time, even after I actually started watching, and I can’t even place when it was, but at some point, I began to actually like it.
As a fangirl (and a well-documented sheep), I expected to get swept up in Kara/Lee shippiness, to want to find wallpapers, fanvids, and icons. It never happened. As a matter of fact, I don’t even like Lee all that much, and Kara, well, let’s just say I prefer the first Kara (if you know what I mean). I do excitedly look forward to seeing Melissa’s work, though. I guess what I mean is that I don’t care enough to take the chance of sitting through vids I don’t like while trying to find a rare gem. I’ve done that enough with LOTS. Ha!
What I liked most about the series is pretty much found in the picture here. Helo, because it’s Helo, y’all. Who couldn’t love Helo and his weepy eyes, his devotion, his heart, and his body, of course. Heh. While I had my little crush on Helo, I have to say that the reason I kept watching, even when I wanted to give up was Tigh, my overall favorite character, and his bromance with Adama.
I had unavoidably read a few spoilers here and there over the years, but I was not prepared for the shocker my favorite character would face. There’s little point in going into detail in this post, as it is a few years late, but seeing how the friendship of Col. Tigh and Adm. Adama survived the war makes any downtime the series had seem worthwhile.
Colonel Saul Tigh: You know, it’s still not too late to flush ’em all out the airlock
Admiral William Adama: It’d take too long. [ :love: ]
Though I wouldn’t place BSG in my favorite shows listing, I will say that I’m glad I watched it, and except for the last very cheesy scene, it was pretty fantastic.
