ria_oaksFinished BSG... well, except for The Plan, which I'll watch sometime in the next few days. Can't stop crying, heh, but that's normal for me in series finales. ;) I.. really dont' get why everyone was so disappointed? I kept waiting for something terrible and/or incredibly lame to happen, but... nothing really did? I don't know, objectively I can see some things people may have had problems with, and there were a few things I thought could have been done better, but basically? I'm happy. I mean, sad, because of various things, and I'll probably keep randomly breaking into tears all evening whenever I think about them, but I'm sad in a basically satisfied way not a "well that sucked and I hated it" way. ^^
Part of me wants to know why everyone had such a problem with it, and part of me just wants to enjoy the ending without having all its shortcomings pointed out to me. I can see a few things that must have annoyed/disappointed people, but they didn't really bother me. Huh. Guess I'm in the minority?
Either way I'm relieved. I think part of the reason I liked it okay was because I'd been hearing how disappointed everyone was in the ending since it aired so I was all psyched up and scared to watch and hate it. So I suppose I had very low expectations? But even with that, I basically liked it...
(also, whoa, I had a dream a few weeks back that actually did kinda predict aspects of the ending... Well, except for the part about Buffy being the final Cylon, LOL. But other parts of the dream. Well, one part, anyway. Crazy. Clearly I'm channeling Laura Roslin??)
And now I get to watch Caprica, woo. Even though it just got cancelled, heh. And I hear it's not as good as BSG, but let's face it, that'd be tough. Anyway, it's nice to have finally seen this frakking show! Been meaning to for ages, and just never got to it... was always worried I'd get sucked in to a new fandom, lol. Don't really have much urge to read fic, fortunately. Except for the few BSG/DS crossovers I've seen float around. I know there's at least one Fraser/Leoben fic... it'll will probably be fucked up and dark and depressing, and DS is my happy place show whereas BSG is, you know, not. But I want to read it anyway. And I kinda want to read some fucked up but really hot Starbuck/Leoben, because yeah. Callum Keith Rennie and Katee Sackoff, yum. I loved every scene with them... they're both such fantastic actors, and watching them play off each other was amazing. I loved that first ep with them, in s1, when she's interrogating him. And of course the early s3 eps... so fucked up and yet awesome.
Anyway... tomorrow's gingerbread house making with the local sci-fi groups! Gonna be fun. :) I was vaguely thinking of making gingerbread men to take with me and decorate as characters, but... yeah. Too much work.
Oh, and the other fandom-related BSG thing I want to do? Draw chibis.. I need a chibi!Starbuck. I mean, really. XD
