My life: a exercise in fandomness
Jan. 10th, 2006 11:13 pmOMG BSG!!! Starbuck in bed with Baltar and calling out Lee's name andIamincoherentwithjoy. Warm happy melty feeling in my stomach and I WANT MORE NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW.
One more ep to the end of Season 1, then 11 eps to catch up with where the SciFi channel is now.
All my life I have run away from the "scifi" label in regards to myself ("I'm a fantasy girl really, I like a good story and characters and thought-provoking philosophy, but no I'm not just another scifi fan") but now I look at my Netflix queue and I realize: Stargate Atlantis (which I'm giving a second try, since most of my writerly flist is into it), Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek. I'm not getting out of this, am I? Okay, okay. I am a scifi geek. Happy?
Also a historical fiction geek, and I'm much more willing to wave that flag. I need to dive back into Hornblower fandom. Yay Hornblower.
And did I mention the political science/philosophy geek part? I squeed so loud yesterday when I got Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism from eBay that my coworkers thought I'd won the lottery or something.
Plus! Some wonderful person who shall remain nameless for now :P got me this for Christmas. I want to read it all it one sitting but then there'll be nothing left by Joss Whedon for me, so I'm taking it slow.
I 'shipped Starbuck/Apollo for the original series, so of course I'll 'ship Starbuck/Apollo now. I totally never expected it to come anywhere near reality, though. I figured it would be like slash pairings: too awesome to ever come true. Now, you lot: no spoilers--I haven't even finished Season 1.
I'm hoping Stargate Atlantis will be good. I saw the premiere when it came out--didn't mean to, had no interest, but I was at Ron's friends' place and they had it on. All I remember of it was thinking it wasn't half as interesting as the man I was making out with, but still. Enough good writers have fled their fandoms for SGA that I figure it has to have something going for it.
And oooooh, LOST tomorrow, if I can manage to escape the Board Meeting in time. "Sorry I can't stay and help plan the peace conference, I need to go watch TV." Right. That'll go over well.
