the nerds are coming out of the woodwork

I feel like I should say something about BSG, but well, a lot's been said, and I liked most of it, had issue with some of it, teared up over someone (if you take a wild stab and guess that that someone has a callsign that starts with 'H' and ends in 'elo' than you are correct, sir) and am mostly intrigued as to HOW they're going to pull off the end to all of this in the next two weeks.

What was slightly more enjoyable however, (I love BSG, and I love watching it, but I'm not sure you could define its "HERE'S AN HOUR OF PAAAAAAIIIIIIIN" as strictly enjoyable) was hanging out with my friends today. One of the guys who was tinkering around on a piano started playing something very familiar sounding. So of course I turned around, grinning, asking "Is that..." and he's all blushy and, "Yeah. I figured out the arrangement for Kara's piano version of All Along the Watchtower."

And I knew he watched BSG, but this was just about the nerdiest thing he'd done. And along with my CUTE NERD BOY Helo!conversation on Tuesday (which was fun while it lasted), I've got to conclude that the imminent ending of our show is pulling everyone's love out into the open, right into public sight so we can talk and nerd about it while we still have the time.

OH, SHOW. YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK MY HEART, AREN'T YOU?

So in happier tv news, THERE'S A NEW SEEKER TONIGHT, WHEEEEEEE! That seemed like a really short break. Probably because all the AWESOME YOU KNOW *wink wink nudge nudge* sustained me through the usual slump of waiting between episodes. So clearly the answer is that they should do it more often. *G*

Did I mention that [livejournal.com profile] lily_268 wrote me a FABULOUSLY HOT Richard/Kahlan fic about circumnavigating boundaries? Did I mention I love her to death? Read. Enjoy. Spread the porn love.

Re BSG: My relationship with that show can be summed up in my response to the fandom relationship meme (http://users.livejournal.com/_deejay_/71755.html#cutid1):
[The mysterious, dark, gothy one with whom you used to sit up talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy.]
Battlestar Galactica


I think I watched the first two seasons (?) really really quickly in college and barely remember anything. But now everyone's like BATTTTLLEEESSTTTAAARRRRRR!!!!! Is the series about to end or something?

Also, NEW SEEKER TONIGHT, YAAY! ALL BELTS ARE OFF!

HA! Yes. Creepy gothic one is definitely BSG, 'cept I haven't quite figured out how to give him up. But yes, we're down to the last two episodes of the show, hence I think the renewed frenzy and fervour in fandom.

ALL BELTS ARE OFF! YEEEEEEEEEEEES.

(Although if all belts are off with that odd-looking Anna chick than I'm going to be UNimpressed. But they won't. Because clearly this is just a way for Richard and Kahlan to have more, "WE LOVE EACH OTHER! ANGST" moments.)

That icon is spectacularly beautiful.

Aaah well if the show's end is nigh I might try to finish what I started with that cracky relationship :) TV marathon? Y/Y?

Ugh. Anna. I have an irrational hatred of her already. It's like I'm actually a part of the R/K relationship and have become suspicious and jealous :P But as you say, if it brings the UST I say belt off my pretties!

Eeee all of [livejournal.com profile] threelocks's graphics are to die for. Which reminds me, I just made 3 setsof icon/banner duos for CSS's current comp which I can't wait to post :D

...Is it time yet??! (Man I need coffee, I only just woke up...)

I can't even imagine what kind of mind frak you'd get from marathoning BSG but definitely--give it a shot if you're up for it.

It's like I'm actually a part of the R/K relationship and have become suspicious and jealous :P

Hee! Yes, I'm very: *narrows eyes* "Step AWAY from Richard" at Anna right now. She should only work to serve the UST and then disappear in a fit of convenient story telling.

Ooh, graphics! Can't wait.

...Is it time yet??! (Man I need coffee, I only just woke up...)

And here I was just thinking about going to bed. Good ol' time differences. I would try and stay up so I could for a download, but stupid daylight savings tomorrow means I'm going to lose an hour of sleep and I need to get out of the house by nine. Might have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to actually see the episode. Boo.

Cute nerd boy who plays piano! HOT!

I'm going to the BSG finale screening night at the Fox theatre in TO, I think it's going to be a great mesh of fans :)

Well, this is a different nerd boy (this one has a girlfriend) but still awesome. Today he began playing Dr. Horrible. :D

And that sounds like so much fun! Too bad they won't do anything like that here in Halifax, I'll have to just enjoy it on my own. Have a grat time!

Aww, you are too nice! I hope that they resolve Helo's story satisfactorily. Y'know, in case I decide to go back and start from the beginning and actually watch past season 2.
