BSG

24 Oct

Have officially retreated from civilization until I’m done with my new Battlestar Galactica obsession, and it’s all “his”:http://mrbrown.com/ fault. I have BSG wallpapers, MSN icons, and it won’t be long before I get _those_ dreams about “Lieutenant Thrace”:http://www.spacecast.com/bsg/bios_starbuck.asp.

Because 35 episodes in 2 days can’t be natural. Neither is having “Impeach Gaius Baltar” banners on your computer, when he isn’t even… you know, President _actual_.

    Oh, honey. Welcome to the world of BSG. It's a beautiful place of obsession!

    And everyone has those dreams of Starbuck, even straight women and gay men. She's everything that's wonderful and yet so incredibly broken, all in one pretty package. Plus, constant ass-kicking = double-plus good.

    I managed to watch the entirety of the first two seasons in 5 days, and I bought a "Vote for Laura Roslin!" pin. At least take comfort in the fact that you're not alone.
  • Yeah it's 7.30am, and I'm STILL watching. 3rd all-night-all-morning frakking party, all by myself!

    Plus, think about how much fun it will be once you're caught up and watching episodes on a weekly basis - you can keng gai with MB about that week's episode.

    Although I do have to warn you that the drop-off from watch 12 eps a day to one every 7 days is a bit painful...

    The first rule of addiction: when you do it when you are by yourself.

    Sigh, Adri, we need to take you to BSG Anonymous now.

    Do you also think you can stop anytime you want?
  • my god, what is it with BSG? my boyfriend keeps raving on about it... but I don't really see what's so great about it. then again, i never really liked sci-fi shows.

    but, i do have a similar obsession with Lost and Prison Break. or with any show that i like, for that matter. once i get hooked, i just spend hours watching episode after episode. or thinking about the episodes while i'm at work. I did an 8-episode marathon for Prison break last Sunday, which still doesn't beat my 13-episode marathon for Lost last year.
  • Baltar is going DOWN, believe you me. Wretched scum. It gets worse, it only gets worse!

    Samantha, where can I get that "Vote for Laura Roslin" pin? :D

    Gad. This reminds me of the time I watched 3 seasons of 24, non-freaking-stop. Never again.
  • I so *totally* understand you! Used to convert Season 1 and 2 to my iPod to watch it while being at the gym. My best workout times ever. Although I preferred "Boomer"... ;-)

    Hello, just a random comment. :) Yay BSG! Are you all caught up yet? This week's eppy kicks total ass. Number 6 ALL the way!
  • I finished the season finale of season 2 at 8am this morning and just went.. DAMN i should've taken season 3 from the office server. :)

    TV addiction rocks.
  • in.no.sense.

    so far, every episode of the 3rd season rock!

    have you seen this yet?
  • mb
    Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! I be Da BSG Pimp!

    Wanna see my Grace Park autographed photo and script for the last episode of Season 2? Hahahaha!

    You KNOW you have to catch up anyway. The whole studio is going into Season 3 and if you don't finish Seasons 1 and 2, you will need to hide everytime we talk about Season 3, hahahaha!

    See the "I Voted for Roslin" button here: http://www.glarkware.com/media/product_detail_t...

    It was a limited quantity item :) But sometimes you can find it on eBay!
  • Samantha

  • I have got the TV series bug a number of times. I watched the first season of 24 in 18 hours straight, with just a couple of toilet breaks!

    Recently, I finished the first season of Prison Break overnight. Enjoying the second season so far.

    Good luck with your adventures :)
  • samantha: i'm going to start making impeach gaius baltar pins! (i have a pin making machine)

    deepak: this is my first time.. well, kinda, the only other time was 'fong sai yuk', a chinese swordfighting drama (40 episodes per season, and i watched 2 seasons, in what.. 4 days).

    z: aww! *kiss.
  • Thanks for the link, Samantha!

    popagandhi, if you make those, please can I buy one?? :)
  • swissfondue
    I just bought season one because of your post. Now I'm just waiting for it to ship from Amazon :)
  • Ha! Something similar happened to me recently too, only with the Bleach anime/manga. I finished 99 episodes of the anime in about 4 days, finished 248 chapters of the manga (as well as all the wikipedia entries even remotely connected to it) in another 3 days, downloaded their theme songs and am now re-reading the manga and re-watching the anime while waiting for new episodes/chapters. This could not have come at a worse time, what with exams just around the corner and all. =_=

    BSG rocks and season 3 is amazing. Did you see "exodus part 2" yet? Best episode ever!
  • Nooooo! Nobody warned me about this...

    Thanks to your influence, my hands got itchy and I searched for BSG episodes. I am on my 2nd day and 18th episode.

    Adri you evieeeeellll!!! Noooooo!!!!
