I would just like to say how unbelievably glad I am to have dodged the bullet of HORRIFYING DOOMY HORROR that was Apollo/Sheba in the final episode of BSG. I had this terrible feeling that they were going to shoehorn it in at the very last minute, like a ninja of contrived, boring romance attacking me in my own home. Instead we get Sheba being her annoying, screechy self, and getting smacked down by a hilariously appalled Apollo who looks more frightened and disturbed than conflicted when she starts mauling him in that makeout spot stargazing turret thing.

I would say it was unfair that Starbuck gets the only decent love interest in the entire show (Serena did my head in aswell, "Oh look, I'm your wingman, oh no I got shot for being a fuckwit!"), but then I realised that hey, Apollo has Starbuck as his love interest and there is nothing more awesome than that. Even if he does have to share him with the unicorns.

Oh my God, you like BSG aswell! I think I have to marry you now.

The new version is one of the few shows I genuinely think is good - pretty much that and Deadwood. Everything else is embraced through my love of all things cheesy, sci-fi and subtexty.

He is so unbelievably, hilariously dumb. That last episode where Apollo is trying to convince Adama to let them sneak aboard the Cylon... I can't remember what it's called so I'm going to say Deathstar... and he's trying to get Starbuck to back him up and it's totally obvious that Starbuck has no idea what he's doing, so he's like, "I stand here and grin encouragingly!" and then Apollo asks him a direct question and he's like "I DON'T KNOW OMG ALWAYS ASKING STUFF WTF FLAIL!" and Adama's like, "...right..."

Serena only mildly got on my nerves at first, but the last episode she was in, she drove me crazy, especially when Apollo was all like, Starbuck is dead *sadcries* and she was all, I loved him too, let's get married now. I was like, first of all, you hardly knew him, if in fact you spoke to him at all, so that whole comment was well out of line, and secondly? STFU BITCH I HATE YOU!

Oh my God, I knew the name looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I'd heard it before - the Never-Ending Story! Have you read the book? Slashy as all get out.

Apollo+Starbuck is undeniably cute (even in the new version, where I want to kick Apollo in the nuts most of the time) but Starbuck+Unicorns is my true OTP. I'm totally getting a badge with that on, and all uncool non-BSG-watching people will be like, WTF, and all the cool people will be like, HAH! and I'll be all, you ahave proven yourself worthy of being talked to by me, and they'll be like, YAY!.

I love Starbuck. He's such a complete and utter IDIOT. But a good-hearted one. I think he's a lot bigger on the inside, and it annoys me when people write him off as a playboy - which is quite ironic, because I make fun of him all the time ;)

"I DON'T KNOW OMG ALWAYS ASKING STUFF WTF FLAIL!"
Aww, bless *pets* Poor Starbuck, too much thinking.

Yeah, that annoyed me so much with Serena. What a bitch *hisses* She doesn't care for other people, she just sweeps through life like a media whore - "Uh, look at me, I'm so wonderful and perfect!" *blurgh* She was so glad Starbuck was gone, jealous bitch. Hah. Pwned.

*lol* You should make an icon with Starbuck and Unicorns. That would be lovely.

For me, Starbuck will always be defined by five simple words: sex in the launch tube. He's such a spazz, you can't help but adore him.

I love that episode where the glowy light people whisk Starbuck, Sheba and Apollo away to their magical spaceship, and they're all like, "Apollo, you totally rock, you can totally be our instrument on Earth," and Apollo's like, "Cool," and then they're all, "And Starbuck, well, you're kind of a dumbass but your heart's in the right place, plus you're super-cute, so I guess you can help out too," and Starbuck's like "Huhwhatcigar?", and then Sheba's like, *expectant face* and the glowey people totally snub her. It's brilliant, they're just like, "Yup, that's all we have to say," and I'm like, oooh, you want some ointment for that BURN, Sheba?

Oh, Serena knew where the real threat was, no doubt about it. God, can you imagine how annoying she would have been if she'd survived? Totally that psycho girlfriend that stops her boy spending time with anyone but her *shudder* They should have just given Cassie or Athena a big stick and every time Serena opened her mouth, one of them would whack her with it.

I would totally make that icon if I actually knew how to make animated icons. Alas, all I have is Paint, which is great for drawing pirates and robot dragons, but not so much for icon-making.

God, yes *facepalms* I've got a special documentary/interview thingy on my DVD box, and they go on and on about that scene *lol*

"Huhwhatcigar?"
*ROTFL* Aww, so much love.

I think it's kinda funny that Serena, who's supposed to be the tragic heroine gets totally on my nerves, while I love Cassie and Athena in all their bitchy gloriousness.

Sex in the launch tube is the quintessential Starbuck. That, and trying to skive patrol duty because you've got a steam burn on your manparts. I haven't watched the extras disc on my set yet; they'd better have included that interview!

Tragic heroines are almost always annoying - they're at the very edge of Mary Sue territory, and it's so easy for them to cross that line and become instantly dislikable.
