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.

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.
