...way out on the corner of fucked up and evil...

You guys, I just finished watching the last season of the West Wing and it was so good I think my face might melt off from the joy of it! In fact, I think the only way it could possibly have been improved is if there was an episode where President Bartlett got Puppet!Cancer and they had to orchestrate a massive cover-up while trying to find a cure. And even then, Puppet!Cancer is not very West Wing-y, so it's probably best they didn't*. Except now I'm all, "Hmm, I think I shall watch Moonlight," and you know how Moonlight is actually not a very good show anyway? It's even worse when you watch it after three weeks of beautiful Josh the West Wing.

ARGH OH MY GOD SOMEBODY BUY ME STUDIO 60 I AM GETTING AIDS FROM LACK OF JOSH! *rolls around on the floor foaming at the mouth*

*Although, come on, that would rock! CJ would crack at the press podium and come clean and the reporters would all be like, "Whatevs, CJ, you could at least make up a convincing lie!" Josh would hide under his desk and pretend the whole thing wasn't happening. Will would be confused and slightly intimidated and have pockets filled with olives. Toby would yell at everyone and hurl rubber balls with reckless abandon (so, no change). Then at the end Margeret would be revealed as a secret Communist puppet spy who masterminded the whole plot and everyone would be like, GASP! Leo would shake his head sadly as they dragged her away in handcuffs.

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.
