I Totally Blame Eunice. Just So You Know.

[sisabet]

Bad things can happen when one falls asleep watching an episode of Battlestar Galactica after finishing a week of constant Stargate Atlantis mainlining.

Mainly - Starbuck shows up on Atlantis, which is just kinda weird. But in a fun way. I seem to remember her causing endless frustration upon frustration for John (and now, in the clear light of day, I actually think being Kara's commanding officer would be one of the most apt punishments possible to deliver to John, akin to a mother wishing a child like her child, upon same child. That and Starbuck is probably a better pilot than John. I don't know how well that will go over). The rest of the details are fuzzy but were mainly about Rodney, as most things seem to be.

I totally blame just_eunice for this. She needs to keep her Tv-Girlfriends out of my subconcious and causing really bizarre cross-overs.

Although, Kobol/Ancient could be... and no. Just, no.

::wrenches brain off track::

Things I am happy about:

1. sga_flashfic is a constant influx of fic. Like an IV of Rodney! And they did an enclosed spaces challenge! I haven't actually found an actual cave-in story yet (I am slowly reading - sitting at a computer has been difficult lately post-work) but merryish's story quite possibly TOPPED a cave-in story for me. I didn't know that could even happen! And I also might now find Zelenka hot. This is all terribly exciting, this journey of self-discovery through SGA flash fics.


2. I have songs for new fandoms. I mean, I don't have to have a song for a show to enjoy it and participate in it and think about it ("House" comes to mind), but when I do find something that just clicks in my head, a very hyper small child in the back of my mind finally sits down and focuses. And that feels a lot like relief, especially since I am driving to Mom's tonight and if I want to - I can listen to these songs and wallow mentally in the shows they are about for over 2 hours in the dark! Yay!

3. Battlestar Gallactica: 2 eps in and a mini behind me and I realized driving to work this morning (after I considered the dream!induced possibility of Starbuck/McKay -- and while the combining of names in a ship seriously bugs me in all but two cases - McBuck cracks me up) that the characters on BSG that I am interested in and where I feel an intense emotional investment are all women.

This is a first for me and genre show, just so you know (Farscape was almost the exception to the rule, except my first emotional attachment was to John and then Aeryn). I could spend a lot of time examining my own mysoginistic tendencies and put on a hair-suit and ask Brother Justin for some floggers, but I don't think I will because - yeah, if I am told a story where the main characters' are interesting and compelling and hit my own personal ping-o-meters; I will like these characters or become interested regardless of sex. Or gender (hee- see what I did there? God, I am 12. You should quite reading me now before I start making doody jokes).

I am interested in Commander Adama and the XO, but my investment in what is actually going on is racheted up whenever Starbuck, Boomer or Roslin are onscreen. Most of my feelings about Apollo are merely based upon Starbuck's feelings for Apollo.

Boomer is just killing me. I just - MY GOD.

And I was gonna like President Roslin on a Mary McDonnel default, but I just really like her. I wish she was real (and running for office).

4. The season finale of Atlantis airs tonight so I can actually talk about it! YAY!


That's all I got today, people.

I've seen the entirety of the BSG series through the season finale and it only gets better from here on out. I'm so in love with it. *swoons* And re: music for a new series, if you play Tori Amos' "She's Your Cocaine" every time Six walks on a screen it's a lot of fun. (Let me know if you'd like me to send it. *eg*)
