there are many copies, and they have a plan

I'm a couple of days late, but I wanted to wish a really happy birthday to the ever-lovely [livejournal.com profile] sambethe, I hope you had a fantastic day! If you'd like to drop me a prompt, I'd love to write something for you. ♥

Related, in a way, because I'm excited about getting caught up enough to talk to you all about this: I have been watching lots of Battlestar Galactica. I feel like it's taken me a long time to really get into it, but I got 100% sold towards the end of season two and now I am racing through series three whenever I have time.

So. I heart Laura Roslin, and man, Kara is awesome, and oh Boomer, oh Athena, and I feel like Dee and Cally both tend to get shafted storyline-wise but I do especially love Dee, and Racetrack should have more screentime, and Kat had a terrible last episode but I do heart her too. And OMG SIX. <3

I guess there are some guys on the show too? Helo and Tyrol particularly make me really, really happy. Tyrol the union leader! Roslin who totally listens to him and wants to do the right thing tooo! *heart* And I think Helo/Athena is the closest I've got to a ship on this show, because eee. I like both Adamas, but my god I do not care very much about their manpain, seriously. Baltar as well, I like how they write him when we're supposed to hate him, but the show seems to have far, far more time for him than I do.

I'd say there should be more Gaeta, but I hear they're going to make him gay then kill him, so actually I'd rather not get attached. And on that note, it sounds like Razor's main point is to provide us all with some dead, evil lesbians, and so I'll be skipping that one. Any main plot points that arise out of that I should know about? Oh, and I heard about Dee, and that's also fail. :/

But you know what my favourite bit is? THE CYLONS OMG. They're SO COOL. Yeah, okay, I have some sort of robot obsession, whatever. But OMG. I love how they deal with individual vs. collective, and seriously, catching first sight of Cylon society on occupied Caprica was when I started to sit up and take notice of this show. I love how layered they've made them, so much. ROBOTS. :D

Talk BSG to me, guys! I think I've actually spoiled myself for most major plot points to date, but let's not put that to the test, shall we? I've watched through 3x16. Also, what I'd really love are vid recs if you had any to share [again, spoiler notes would be appreciated!] - I've been watching [livejournal.com profile] hollywoodgrrl's stuff and [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny's Kara vids, but I sense there would be an awful lot of good work out there!

He's a pretty boy who's not allowed to have nice things. YOU CAN'T RESIST HIM!!!!!!

Well, I can't anyway :)

Oh, and at some point you MUST read the fic that [livejournal.com profile] sambethe wrote for me, where Gaeta gets sucked into the HP world and becomes friends with Sirius (and Remus, but he's better friends with Sirius.) SO. MUCH. LOVE.
