Dear Battlestar Galactica S2,

How are you so awesome?

- Love,
Swatkat

I have seen upto 2.12. I keel ded anyone who spoils me.

* Starbuck is AWESOME. And seriously frakked up. I would appreciate if all the grown-ups in the show stopped frakking with her head now (Get me the Arrow of Apollo! Kill Admiral Cain!).

* Anders v. pretty.

* Lee = Cameron in Space. Kara/Lee has potential, though.

* Lee in a towel asafasl;fklll;;

* How much do you love Papa Adama? I love that he and Roslin have grown closer now. Stronger together than apart!

* Baltar. He has had character development, he has grown almost tolerable, I even wanted to hug him when he was with Pegasus!Six, but WTF?? What is *wrong* with him? Also, I'd appreciate if someone explained Baltar/Six to me.

* Admiral Cain OMG. She is evil and ruthless and so very cool! I did resent her initially for outranking Adama (yes, I'm irrational that way), but I warmed up to her when she showed genuine admiration for Kara, and appeared to be mentoring her in a way. And I completely forgave her when she withdrew the orders to kill Adama. Tell me she's not really dead please? (Also, there was some serious sparkage in that final scene with her and Six)

* Xena as D'Anna Biers! I confess, I've always thought she was kind of... odd-looking in her Xena days (*ducks tomatoes*), but D'Anna Biers is smokin'.

* Tigh! Whatever his faults may be, I love that he's so completely devoted to Adama.

* The music. I love this show's music. And that's the Gayatri Mantra in the theme, isn't it? Sung in a way I've never heard before. Lovely.

* I could not love the Chief any more. Seriously.

* OMG THEY KILLED BOOMER HOW DARE THEY? *hissyfit*

* Sharon! Caprica!Sharon! Her and Helo - now that's seriously pretty.

* The entire almost rape episode? Scary. Very scary. Even 'Seeing Red' wasn't this scary. Damn this show is dark.

* Go Dee for telling Adama what he needed to hear! They're setting her up with Lee now. But what will happen to Billy? Billy/Dee is so adorable!

I got the season 2 DVD's for Christmas, and will have to rewatch S2 now (so maybe then I can finally catch up on S3.5+). I will gladly help you with killing evil spoiler-people.

* How much do you love Papa Adama? I love that he and Roslin have grown closer now. Stronger together than apart!

Which is both good and bad, yes? Separation of powers is a healthy thing.

* Admiral Cain OMG. She is evil and ruthless and so very cool! I did resent her initially for outranking Adama (yes, I'm irrational that way), but I warmed up to her when she showed genuine admiration for Kara, and appeared to be mentoring her in a way.

She done has slashiness with Starbuck, is my verdict, in this very un-slashy show.

* OMG THEY KILLED BOOMER HOW DARE THEY? *hissyfit*

Boomer has more pain than anyone ever, including Starbuck.

* The entire almost rape episode? Scary. Very scary. Even 'Seeing Red' wasn't this scary. Damn this show is dark.

Yeah. Although I claim the darkest episode of Buffy S6 is Dead Things. Unintentional almost-rape + murder < intentional almost-gang-rape + murder.

Sad thing is, I already know some spoiler-y things - things I picked up reading the flist and random discussions. If only I'd known I'd be fangirling this show some day. *sigh*

It is, but Roslin/Adama hits some of pairing kinks that go back to my earliest fandom days, and I can't help shipping them together!

YES SHE DOES OMG! This show has girlslash potential. Boyslash, not so much. Maybe Helo/Tyrol. Adama/Tigh.

Who could? :) I ship 'em too, despite the danger, and despite liking Laura/Lee even better.

My impression has been that this is the one popular science fiction show that does not get much boyslash but does have a large girlslash following.

I find that deeply amusing. *g*

One of the wonderful things about this fandom is that there is SO MUCH FEMSLASH BEING WRITTEN. But you can't look for it yet because you'll get spoiled. I'll go back through older fics and see what I can send your way that would be spoiler-safe. (Can I pimp one of my own?)

I love Tigh, I really do. And in the pretty department, I could just stare at Gaeta all day!

(Can I pimp one of my own?)

Ellen/Cain, yes? I bookmarked that one when I was scouting for fic yesterday.

And in the pretty department, I could just stare at Gaeta all day!

Gaeta looks eeriely like P, one of oldest and strangest friends, so the very idea of thinking of him in terms of hotness makes me giggle.

Yes, Ellen/Cain!

Be careful looking for fic! Seriously, you could spoil yourself very easily.

Eek! That would be weird. Fortunately, I don't know P, so I can still admire the pretty.

Don't I know that? *sigh*

Luckily, I don't dislike spoilers as a norm, so I tell myself things like 'OK, so Character X does not die, so let's see *how* X doesn't die.'
