I think Buffy has ruined me for all other fandoms. No matter what show I watch, inevitably the thought will occur to me that there should be a musical episode in which everyone sings and dances merrily, except Dawn, who dies horribly and is laughed at by all. It's like Angelus; no other villian can ever match Angelus for pure, unadulterated class. And no show can ever be as good as Buffy, because no other show has a musical episode. Except Angel, because, dude, Puppet Cancer!

So I'm there watching that episode of BSG where they find the ship with all the sleeping people in it and then they wake up and they all go to this planet with the annoying little robot dudes who think Starbuck is a girl (and oh my, isn't that hilarious a quarter of a century later?), and he's talking to the kids about his wacky misadventures and he's like, "There were Cylons to the left of me, Cylons to the right.." and I'm there expectantly waiting for the instrumentals to kick in with "And here I am, stuck in the middle with you."

And then he doesn't, and I feel sad inside.
