it's the end of the world as we know it

[hope]

ooookaaaaay, taking a step BACK from Battlestar Galactica before I descend into a post-apocalyptic funk from which there is no return. Seriously, I wasn't joking before when I said that pretty much every single episode reduces me to tears. BSG watchers, is that NORMAL? Christ. I thought mainlining Six Feet Under was depressing.

Time to take a breather with some hot fudge brownie and the slightly less despair-inducing The IT Crowd. Crimony.

Which season? Which eps? Where are you at in the story line? Not that that is necessarily relevant. My main reactions to BSG are omgomgomg (that one's entirely obligatory I'd say) or getting furious at some thing or other. Not so much weeping for me, I get too agitated.

[hope]

I'm halfway through the second-last episode of season 3. The middle of Baltar's trial. I am just exhausted! i've watched most of the season this weekend.

[atlantisgrrrl.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaaomgomgomg! Watch the next one and a half eps! Do it, do it, do it! Do! It!

Wow. I remember being at that point. You have no idea what's about to happen. WEEE!

This show is like crack cut with bi-carb. OK, maybe take a small break.

[hope]

OMG THAT ICON

[naewinter.livejournal.com]

YES! I love my icon of WRONG.

My reactions to BSG are flaily tears, a sense of ever present DOOM, bouncing up and down on the spot yelling RUN!RUN!RUN! at the top of my lungs and hilarity. Mostly it's the tears though.
Their little broken, confused faces get me every time.

Its depressing as hell and tears is a sensible response :p I love the show but oh my god it's grim.

[hope]

Six Feet Under is depressing in an "everyone dies" sense too, but at least it has the added bonus of "but life goes on in a grand manner anyway". BSG is "everyone dies, and then the human race is gone. DOOMY DOOM DOOM NOTHING GOOD WILL LAST."

I need to get the last couple of eps over with, then I'm waiting until the season 4 dvd is out until i watch any more, dammit. I think after this I will watch Eureka!

I console myself that it has good character writing. You're also suffering from S3 depression because so much of it has no plot and just vast, weary stretches of people behaving reprehensibly and hurting each other. I promise S4 will cheer you up - or at least things will be grimly depressing at a faster pace!

Eureka will be fun! The next episode is where Carter meets his house ;-) *promotes shamelessly*

BSG: majorly depressing (though occassionaly hysterically funny). In a way, it reminds me of The Road - you ask someone where they are in that book and they say, "Well, they're on the road and it's really depressing" and you say, "Yeah, that sounds about right."

*fangirls BSG, Gaeta, Alessandro Guliani, and Jamie Bamber*

[hope]

I don't know how I keep watching it, tbh! except sometimes I just need a good cry. And I do like to be a completist.

Aha, BSG trumps stitch'n'bitchin'. (Way too many apostrophes there, I know.)

I am wanting to mainline BSG right now but have to wait until after Eris goes to bed. Grr. And am now waiting for Mike to finish something up so we can watch a couple of eps together.

Still only halfway through first season. As far as I can tell, "Cylon-Occupied Caprica" is a code phrase meaning "Stuff No-one Is Interested In".

[hope]

Yes! Sorry. I kind of got sucked in. Again. And it was windy outside!

Oh, I was quite fond of Cylon-Occupied Caprica. It was The Gaius & Six Religious Variety Hour that I couldn't stand (and still can't)!

I cried, my husband cried, the cats cried. It's that kind of show.

[hope]

Yeah, I like to watch it on my own because it's a really good way to get a good cry in there.

It IS very depressing at times, but at least it does occasionally alternate between that and moments of PURE GLEE and EPIC WIN. So. (Also, finish S3. The last five minutes of the last episode of season three are quite possibly the most amazing five minutes of television ever.)

[hope]

snerk, that icon.

I just HAD to give it a rest yesterday but will probably watch the end of S3 tonight. yayes!

You mean Roy and Moss and Jen?

[hope]

Yes! I have much love.
