Where I get my bitch on.

[hackthis_archive]

Some people get their freak on, today, I get my bitch on.


1. Stargate Atlantis. I don't get the appeal. I've tried, repeatedly. It bored me to tears. That's not my beef though, because I have my most beloved Battlestar Galactica. What is killing me is that everyone, and I do mean pretty much every fucking person I know, is loving this show with an unholy passion, and they're turning that unholy passion into stories that I can't read! lyra_sena wrote fucking guitar porn! rageprufrock has some crazy series about strippers (that is what that's about, yeah? I'm only going off the title). seperis is writing, like, assassin-fic or something. And here I am with nothing! That sucks. But you'll never get me to that show, so.

2. Speaking of shows I don't fancy, Firefly is another one. This isn't me telling people that they can't be all happy about Serenity, since apparently if SGA isn't your show, this one is. I mean everyone has their space show, and even ethrosdemon likes this one (or maybe that's just Nathan Fillion's bum), but just, no. I do think Gina Torres rocks, but that's probably because she's married to Laurence Fishburne.

3. And while we're on the topic of things that are boring me to tears – this season of Lost sucks "hairy dog bollocks" as I told estrella30. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this one is mine. Last season was fast paced, every moment resulting in fifty different consequences. 44 days were covered in 22 episodes. This season we are four episodes in and still on the same fucking day. Nothing is fucking happening on this show, people; it's boring as hell. They have 44 potential people to use, why they hell aren't they addressing them? Stop spreading your legs for everyone, JJ, and focus on the people at home. Bringing in new characters is not the way to solve your issues. He pulled this same shit on Alias, and it's so not necessary.

Uh, yeah, that's pretty much it for me today. Thanks to everyone for answering my iPod questions. I'm off to search for something of interest to read that's not SGA.


ETA: I should point out that there are shows that I do love: Kichen Confidential, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Made and What Not to Wear. Also, obviously Entourage and Battlestar Galactica, but they're on hiatus right now.

I kind of boggle that BSG hasn't become the Big Thing, because it's the best thing on television right now, and almost my favorite sci-fi show ever.

But the things that seem to get the most fandom attention seem to be the ones that are subtexty and pretty good but not necessarily Great Television/Literature. Stuff good enough to inspire lots of obsession and analysis while leaving you with a desire for more than you know you'll get from canon.

I have no desire to seek out BSG fanfic because the show satisfies me nearly completely. (Not that it doesn't still boggle me that everyone isn't /watching/ it. OMG.) SGA... I wouldn't have started watching if it weren't for the slash (well, and having gotten into SG-1). Even then it took a few eps to get me loving on the show for more than the snark and slashiness.

I keep thinking that BSG should be, like, the biggest fandom around these days, but it's just not happening. I'd heard that they had a fandom exploding wank at some point between S1 and S2 though, so maybe there're no survivors from that.

As for BSG fiction, I'd like to see a greater spectrum of it than just the canon couples, but well, can't have everything.
