Well, my 15-minute car nap turned into a 60-minute car nap... >_>... good thing I've been working so much overtime.

I was just thinking about how last weekend vandonovan showed me some of the new Dr. Who, while I pimped Battlestar Galactica. We watched the first half of the miniseries, and whoo boy... between that and ep. 2x11 (haven't watched 2x12 yet), I'd forgotten the feel of BSG and how, well, utterly different it is from Firefly. I know that there are moments of levity and downright adorableness between Starbuck and Apollo and that Baltar is delightfully insane and Dualla and Billy are omgsocute, but the overarching theme of BSG is OMGTEHANGST!!!!. I mean, how can it not be, what with the genocide and constant threat of annihilation and all. It's really well-written and acted, and I love all of these characters, but man, what a downer! As I said to Van, even at his darkest, Mal still managed to be quippy in Serenity, you know?

It's really obvious to me now how come that never became a fandom for me. I can't handle that much stomach-clenching tension. I can't dwell there. But yeah. I gotta watch 2x12. I've missed BSG, and want to see people flirting with each other again instead of being all OMGTEHTENSION!!

After that, Dr. Who was a welcome jaunt in frivolity, lemme tell you. I have never ever seen a single second of Dr. Who before, in any of its incarnations, so it was interesting. I found it to be fun and colorful and cute! I like Rose a lot (and remember Billie Piper from her singing career, haha). I want to see more, but not as a fandomy thing. But now I'll understand what the heck is going on when my flist talks about it, so yay.

Next, someone should attempt to pimp me into SGA, at Escapade. *waggles eyebrows*
