Well, yeah, of course she was brought back as an angel, but as a show that prided itself on keeping itself more realistic than other scifi, by using technology that was closer to our own and not completely, completely unfeasible it just makes no sense.

Everything that's wrong with religion if it were true out here suddenly applies in that universe, because ultimately in the show there is a god, and the god does have influences in the world, and can basically do anything, like create an extra kara thrace out of thin air, and poof her gone again.

It makes no goddamn sense!

The whole show had a nice ambiguity to its religious context and myths, which was good, but in the end all the bullshit myths - everything - was true! This carries a hell of a lot of repercussions to all the actions in the show and in the end it is just completely unsatisfying.

If they had not played with being closer to our own reality and introduced the supernatural elements more deeply intertwined in the story, then I'm sure I would have been more forgiving - like, say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer or True Blood for that sake, which handles its demons and gods and all that stuff fine within its own universe. BSG really, really wants to be our universe, which just makes it invalid, because it very clearly is not our universe. Its internal consistency is shot to hell and makes me want to punch a puppy in the face.

I rate it 10 sturgeon faces.

* geek was one of the first ones I did over at TeeVirus. I think they're still only doing white shirts, though.

My "last week's hot idea" was a counter to the "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" garbage.
Something like "Team Buffy" or "Team Hellsing", or heck even "Team Dracula" or "Team Chocula"

To me, every vampire fiction universe has some flaws that keep it from being ideal to my tastes, although I do enjoy at least parts of all of them. For example:

Buffy - I don't like the idea that vampires (with a few exceptions) are inherently evil because they don't have a soul. That cheapens them and turns them into guilt-free cannon fodder. Vampires should be generally evil because they have power, and have had time to be corrupted by losing their (potentially limited) human reluctance to abusing power.

Anne Rice - Look, the occasional person is actually firmly heterosexual, and no amount of time spent being undead would chip away at their inhibitions to reveal a raging omnisexual being within. Not that there's anything wrong with that. In addition, while the series starts out well with old vampires that know nothing of any god and have 'never learned any secret that would save or damn their soul', the later books are shroud of turin, god and devil obsessed dreck.

Blade (based on movies not comics) - Blade's origin doesn't seem so unique that he would be the only 'daywalker'. I also don't really like silver as a weakness for vamps -- one silver bullet grazes an arm and they are dusted? Also, 'born' vampires and vampires that can age annoy me.

Twilight - The whole weakness to sunlight thing comes down to vampires being sparkly in the sun? ...Right. In addition, Edward requires massive fortitude to resist the temptation of eating Bella if she draws blood from a tiny scratch, but there is no mention made of him having to avoid her for ... ahem ... several days a month.

Vampire the Masquerade (based on PC games) - Although I am an atheist and personally dislike Rice's later books due to overly strident religious references, the treatment of Cain of Cain/Abel as the original vampire, and his 13 fledgling vampires as the founders of 13 'clans' with different traits in VTM is quite cool. A negative is that I can't actually imagine that the masquerade-enforcing Camarilla would be able to completely keep vampires off of the human radar with anarchy loving Sabaat around. Plus stake to the heart = paralysis makes no sense.

But since we're talking fiction, there is some suspension of disbelief required anyway, so all of these flaws don't necessarily ruin the final product for me.

Anyway, sorry for the off-topic (sort of) ramblings.

Lily <3....ok now back to Buffy.

UsesProzac: I wish I would have had Wow, when my son was born, it would have given me something to do while sitting up with him in the night - What I did have was every season of Angel, Buffy and Farscape on DVD and the Space Channel (total TV overload)

**Also note, "I" was the one putting my son to bed and getting up with him, every night, not my wife - no breast feeding was done - she refused! (same, when my daughter was first born!) Once she gave birth - she was done with them - Postpartum is getting much better now 8 & 12 years later.)

^ Seems to have first appeared massively as one of the "Potential" Slayers in the last Season of Buffy.

Yo aiiyo people wonderin' where the fuck I been
At the VIP section they ain't lettin' me in
They say; maybe if you had Dr. Dre or Timbaland
They say; a white boy need a black boy to win
Uhh Bubba Sparxx did it and so did Slim
Just Blaze is hot now why don't you get with him
I watch mad rappers bite my shit and blow up
And make millions of what I created, that's tough luck
I first started gettin' coverage around the same time
Steve Stout used to carry kid and placed luggage
I seen rappers turned from sex symbols in hard throbs
To bein forgotten now they out lookin' for jobs
I seen EPMD break up
I seen my little brother Max fall asleep and he ain't never wake up
So when I rhyme listen, seriously
When I spit I'm givin' you the truth clearly who I really be
It's an audio version of reality TV
I had deals from Russell Simmonds to Master P
Even five year old white girls be rappin' today
On the playground like 'go shorty it's ya birthday' (Go, go, go..)

Yo yo yo I seen good days sun rays church sundays
Made love made war been rich been poor
Lost friends lost hoods lost my dough
Seen beef between Bad Boy and Death Row
I seen deceased take the life for my sisters kid
Six months on the earth is what he had to live
I seen Biggie Big L Big Pun pass away
Buffy from the Fat Boys, Jam Master Jay
I mumple 'fore they blew up with Mystikal and Jay-Z
The Neptunes came to see me at D & D
I knew this chick named Norah a lounge singer
A year later she a six Grammy award winner
I seen flatliners I seen cannabisses
I seen Lil Zane see I seen mad misses
You ran through that ten percent disses
I seen A & R's get fired for takin' pisses
Stop whinin' the fuck nobody listens
Who else riskin' they career they stick to be indifferent
Switchin' the tradition stickin' to this shit they really livin'
I don't care what's hittin
Listen this is my fuckin' life that I'm spittin

I made peace with myself now how bout that
I hated life I wanted to die a few years back
I was mentally ill it's hard to come back from that
But I got through it now I got my sanity back
Y'all are like H-B-O fighters get the money and fame
Get beat up like Klitschko and Sugar Shane
Or get beat like Vernon Forrest or Prince Naseem
And you all turn pussy when you get that green
I got love for Havoc from Mobb Deep
When I was broke sleepin' in the street
He hooked me up with a free beat
Alchemist you still my little buddy
Althought you stole that Royce the 5"9 +The King+ beat from me
I ain't down to sign autographs and shake ya hands
I don't want trendy ass followers as fans
I don't wanna sell records, I don't wanna be big
I don't want MTV runnin' up in my crib
I don't wanna be light in the music biz
I don't want fans that don't know who G Rap is

Really?? Well thanks for looking that up! I guess I didn't dig deep enough!

There is however a lot of people who feel this way. A few years back I remember people trying to have it banned in local public places as being obscean and not apropriat for kids to see. I was working in retail and we has couches in our store, women were always stopping to breast feed in our store. I didn't care much but we did have compliants - our reation was to just say "oh well"

I thought it was Buffy the Vampire.

I'm thinking you could apply this audio to another old tv sitcom - Family Affair - with disturbing results: Buffy, Jody, Cissy, "Uncle" Bill, and Mr. "French". *shiver*

How about Gilligan's Island? o_O
