Doctor Who, BSG

[sg_lab2]

Tonight's ep. of Doctor was just freaking cool. I can't remember the last time I watched something that had moments that startled me. That was one scary werewolf. It was kind of like the creepiness I used to get when watching The X-Files (not that the shows are alike much).

I really liked Sir Robert's wife Isabelle. She really took charge and took care of the maids. Figured out the mistletoe and threw a boiling pot of the stuff at the werewolf to stall for time. The Torchwood references are fascinating me. I can't wait to see where this goes.

I watched BSG tonight more or less. I've only seen a few ep. of the show. I watched last season's finale today and liked for the most part. I've found this show a little too melodramatic for my taste. I wanted them to get back to Galactica more in this ep. And I wanted to see more of Roslyn as well as Adm. Adama. I didn't find Starbuck's storyline all that interesting. And I just didn't care for the stuff on the planet. I think I'm going to be picking Numb3rs over this show. It's not a bad show. Just isn't really my taste I think.

And if I didn't love the song Saving Me by Nickelback the constant advertising of this show would have driven me completely insane.

When you said dubbing I was like "Huh?" Then I remembered you're from a Spanish speaking country so I assume it's dubbed into Spanish. Yeah I can imagine how annoying that would be. I can't stand watching Hong Kong produced movies dubbed into English.

Yeah, the whole Starbuck/Apollo thing does nothing for me. The dialogue turned me off the first time I watched it. I thought it was way too melodramatic. It's a little better or I'm more used to it, but it still can annoy. When I started watching Babylon 5 again I had a hard time getting into the dialogue and the way it was spoken at first, but I was able to get past it with that show.

I never watched the original BSG so I don't have an opinion on the change of Starbuck's gender. Dirk Benedict who played Starbuck in the original will always be Templeton "Face" Peck to me. :D

Now Rodney and Sheppard as women is just all kinds of scary and wrong. :p

Yeah, I do feel at times BSG is trying come off as something more than it is.

That's why I love Stargate, both shows, I don't feel like they pretend to be anything more than what they are. That's why I don't feel like complaining all the time about it. I may grumble about something done in an ep. but by the next ep. I usually let it go. S2 of Atlantis may not have been up to par with the first season, but I just let it go and wait for s3. If it hasn't gotten any better I'll quit watching.

There's one really minor thing about BSG that I can't get past. I've only seen a few eps. so maybe there's a reasonable explanation for this and it oddly happened on B5, but doesn't bother my that much on that show and it didn't explain it either. They use paper. How do they have the resources to have paper when they spend their lives in a spaceship? Star Trek had the replemat so that explained any possible paper, but they used data pads.

SG: Atlantis is paper free for cryin' out loud.

I'm apparently not meant to respond to your post because I have deleted my post twice now. I hate this computer. Arrgg!

Okay, I'm going to try again. I'll just make this a little more succinct. I watched the last season finale yesterday and someone had a legal pad and then there was an election and the ballots were paper. I couldn't get my head around that when they don't use paper on Atlantis. Although some fanfic writers seem to think they use actual paper for paperwork.

Also in BSG's season finale Kara came back to Galactica. She was with a guy and getting drunk. Lee comes in and she starts making out with this guy. I thought why would anyone want Lee to have Kara. Of course they're both seriously messed up. Talk about your disfunctional relationships.

Whenever I type Dirk Benedict's name I want to type Blocker as his last name. Dirk Blocker was an actor on the show Bananza. And I haven't even seen a whole eps of that show. *headdesk*

Yes, I got through this post without deleting. :)
