I watched the Battlestar Galactica miniseries today. What took me so long? Seriously, this is great stuff.

I successfully called three out of four Cylons. Mind you, I have a feeling I was supposed to suspect. Did not call the Surprise Revel Cylon from the end. :p

Does the fandom hate Roslin? I seem to recall the fandom hating Roslin. I... like Roslin. :p

I'm also fond of Lee. And Starbuck entertains me. And Gaius is interesting.

Also, I adore the crew chief more than I'm meant to, I'm pretty sure. :p

Now I think I'll install Alpha Centauri. Because... xkcd made me do it

My goodness! You just started watching? It's seriously the best show on television. Have you watched anything beyond the miniseries?

IMO, the first episode of Season 1, called "33" is probably the best episode of the whole series, but so many great episodes abound that it's not really a let down. Every season closer and season opener is an edge-of-your-seat ride; especially the season opener for Season 3. Also, the episodes concerning Pegasus were brilliant.

...note I could go on and on about this show, but I just loved it. There definitely is a faction that loathes Roslin. By the end of Season 2 you'll understand why, but I love her. I pretty much like all the characters. No matter what they do they all have very interesting story arcs.

Oh, and if you really get into it later on, there's a website called the Ragnar Anchorage:

It's quite friendly. :)

I think it started airing during my time period of not having a television. ANd then I was interested, but it was a couple seasons in and I was intimidated. But Snippy offered to hook me up with the miniseries, so I decided why not!

Now I need to see the rest. :p

*flails at you* BSG is over 9000 kinds of awesome. :D

I don't know if fandom hates Roslin? I adore her myself, and I ship her hard with Adama. And the whole damn crew is awesome. ♥

I don't think Tess should ever be allowed to watch this show - there's still season 4.5 to go. :P

[yubsie]

That's the impression I'm getting so far. :p

Tessie's powers defy time and space. ;p

I don't think the fandom hates Roslin. I does hate Cally and Dee though. (Why, nooooooo, I love Dee!)

If Tess causes my favourite ship to sink (to be fair, I think the show is doing that for me, her?) or my favourite characters to die (except the one, I guess that would actually be fitting!), then I will be very mad.

The fandom doesn't hate Roslin, just hate her as president. Later on.

When she becomes an evil god damn nazi :p

[yubsie]

Okay, gotcha. I just remembered there being a kerfuffle about her somehow. :p

[lestack.livejournal.com]

Oh, and Chief is mega-hyper-super-awesome and everyone with a soul loves him :p

[yubsie]

Haha, yay not being a freak. :p

The fandom actually adores Laura, and they're particularly into frantically shipping her with Bill. I personally dislike her, but that's just a matter of choice; it depends on how far into the show you are already, as your feelings toward her might change, too :].

[yubsie]

Ah, good to know. :p Obviously I don't really know what kind of direction they're taking her in. :p

[savepureness.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's hard to decide. But she's not the sanest or the cutest of characters, oh no; though all in all, which character in this series is SANE?!

[yubsie]

It's not a particularly sanity inducing situation. :p

Hurrah, I am glad you like it.

So far, I'm not really a huge fan of Starbuck, actually she sort of annoys me at times when she's being such a bitch to Tigh.

[yubsie]

I don't so much like her as... enjoy watching her. :p

[akeyoftime.livejournal.com]

I'm not really a huge fan of Starbuck
Blasphemy :(

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

Now that I've seen more of her past episodes, I'm liking her more. Though she still annoys me when she and Tigh start going at it.
