Ok, so I'm still not all "OMG BEST SHOW EVER", but I think I do really, really like it.

So, first off, I'm a Kara/Lee shipper. The only two things I knew about the show before I watched it were that there was some conflict between humans and these beings called Cylons, and that I had seen a bunch of fic written about these two characters, Kara and Lee. So I kind of instantly looked out for them and I'm not sure if I started liking them because I felt I was supposed to or because I really did like them, but in any case, I love them now. And as much as I love their kiss in Home Pt. 1 and the almost-sex in Scar, I really just love them being best friends. I think they're adorable when they're being all happy and friend-y.

I also totally love Kara. Lee... I thought I loved, but then Black Market bored me to death and I'm not sure if it was because the episode just sucked or because a whole episode of Lee was too much or a combination of the two, but after that I was just kind of ambivalent towards Lee. He's better in small doses, for me. But Kara I just love completely. She can be kind of Mary-Sue-ish at times, but she definitely also has flaws, which I love. Yeah, I don't know what else to say about her. I just kind of love her.

I think part of me actually might love Baltar/Six even more than Kara/Lee. After Downloaded, my greatest hope for the end of the second season was that Baltar's Six and he would be reunited again, and I was so happy when it happened. I find their relationship totally fascinating, and I completely love Six. I kind of actually really love Baltar, as well, and wanted him to win the election, until they showed us the whole one year later deal with him sucking. I mean, I knew he wouldn't be good or anything, but I didn't really love the whole pimped out office and his whores and such. But yeah, in general, I adore both Baltar and Six and Baltar/Six.

I'm not much of a fan of Laura Roslin. I honestly have no idea why, I've just never really loved her. I think I liked her a lot more when she was dying, but all the episodes after she survived, I just really stopped liking her, which is why I wanted Baltar to win the election (well, and also because I knew it would create a lot of conflict, and that's always fun. Except we didn't get to see the whole first year of his presidency! gr.).

I also love Sharon. I thought I liked her at the start of the series, but I think I love Helo's Sharon even more. And I loved Sharon/Chief at the beginning of season 1, but I think Helo/Sharon has totally trumped them for me. Helo/Sharon is another relationship I just find utterly fascinating.

I love Gaeta. No reason why, really. He's just awesome.

Who else can I talk about? I don't like Dualla, and it's not even completely because of her and Lee. I really liked her and Billy and I absolutely loved Billy and I really hate how she treated him. But what cemented it for me was her contributing to the rigging of the election for Roslin. I don't know why, but that just really bothered me. I know she wasn't the only one, but that's completely what I would expect from Tigh (and whatever, I'm not much of a fan of him anyways) and I understand Roslin's motivation. But Dualla helping just bugged me. I might just be looking for reasons to dislike her, though.

The one year jump in the finale bothered me. I wanted to like it or at least accept it, but I'm just one of those people who absolutely has to know what happened. I'm sure they'll do some sort of flashbacks or at least discuss some of what happened, but... I mean, it was a whole year! Adama even said that they had spent more time at New Caprica than they had running from the Cylons, which means we skipped more time than it took for the entire 2 seasons to take place. blah. But I'm still definitely looking forward to the third season, anyways, to see what happens now, and what did happen in that year.

Um, I guess that's all I have to say. I haven't said anything about the Cylons or the plot part of the show (I've been just focusing on the characters), but that's because I really have nothing to say other than I love it. I find it a lot more interesting than I thought I would, and yeah. I don't know. I love it.

...ok, so this review kind of came out more glowy than I expected it to. That's the thing, I keep saying I'm not obsessed and I'm just pretty sure I like it, but then I can't think of anything else during the day, and when I start talking about it, I just start gushing. I don't know. My feelings about this show confuse me.


Anyways, not sure what I'm going to check out next. I think My So-Called Life, like I said in the last post, but it's going to take a long time for me to download, so I'm thinking of starting something else in the meantime. Anyone want to rec me any shows you think I should watch? (You can check my userinfo for ones I've already seen, because I think I have seen a fair amount.)

First week of summer school is done, thankfully. Just 5 left. sigh.
