swatkatI'm counting days till the Return of BSG. Therefore, lists!
Top #5 BSG Moments I Wish Had Never Happened:
5. Quadrangle of Doom. There were some lovely moments here and there, Dee slapping Kara, some hot kissing, but seriously. SHUTUP. Get over it. Something. Urgh.
4. Whatever it is that they're doing with Starbuck and Leoben. He's creepy and weird and I DO NOT WANT. Keep him *away* from the poor girl.
3. Baltar's Sex Cult. Yawn.
2. Billy/Dee/Lee. That was *painful* to watch.
1. Black Market. Does this require an explanation?
And Top 10 BSG Moments I Will Cherish Forever:
10. 'I love you.'
'About time.'
I don't always have OTPs. And if you told me during the mini that I'd ship Roslin/Adama I'd have laughed at you. I came into this fandom fully expecting to be a huge Starbuck fan and quite possibly shipping Kara/Lee, and then THEY happened. And I don't know how they grew on me, really, except that they did, and by the time I was watching S3 I was just... How are they so awesome? ♥
9. D'Anna holding Hera in Exodus II (or was it I?).
8. Boomer shooting Adama. Woah.
7. Tigh killing Ellen in Exodus II.
6. 'My name is Saul Tigh. I am an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be.'
Oh, Tigh! Tigh, Tigh, Tigh. I vehemently disliked Tigh all throughout S1 and for a good part of S2. And then Season 3 happened. I have a hard time picking a favourite character in this show, but he is right up there with Adama, Roslin and Kara.
5. Caprica waking up in 'Downloaded'.
4. 'Don't, Captain. Don't do it. Don't look back. Sometimes, we have to leave people behind, so that we can go on. So that we can continue to fight. Sometimes, we have to do things that we never thought we were capable of, if only to show the enemy our will. Yesterday, you showed me that you were capable of setting aside your fear, setting aside your hesitation, and even your revulsion -- every natural inhibition that during battle can mean the difference between life and death. When you can be this for as long as you have to be, then you're a razor. This war is forcing us all to become razors because if we don't, we don't survive. And then we don't have the luxury of becoming simply human again.'
Razor
I've quote this entire scene because it's just.so.good. Michelle Forbes! Her voice, her face... *flails*
3. The entire opening sequence of Kobol's Last Gleaming. 'Passacaglia' playing in the background, Helo and Sharon, Lee and Adama, the lack of dialogue.
2. 'What do you hear, Starbuck?'
'Nothing but the rain.'
3.17, Maelstrom
1. Galactica jumping into the atmosphere of New Caprica. That yellow flash of light and the bagpipe in the background.
Show me yours.
