The world is over. The fight has just begun.

Yes, I've been watching Battlestar Galactica, why do you ask?

...Yes, I've watched the miniseries and then the entire first season this weekend.

It's just-- *waves hands around* It's so good. Gritty, painful, realistic, with continuity that I only wish could happen on SGA. Someone breaks their leg, you see them in traction and on crutches, fighting a possible pain killer addiction. Someone fucks up, people die. The political mire is so realistic it makes me sigh and nod in agreement and mourn the stupidity of humanity.

And of course, now I want to write a SGA AU where the Ori take over Earth, and so all that's left is Atlantis and maybe the Daedalus that had been just about to leave the Milky Way when it all went down. Where the Lanteans have to actually reach out to the denizens of the Pegasus Galaxy and survive. Settle down, start families, build a new government because they're the last damn humans free from the Ori and they have to keep going.

*facepalms, goes to watch BSG 2x01 because that was a killer cliffhanger*

The first season of BSG is total perfection. I feel like I should warn you that many fans think the show declined noticeably in quality after the middle of the second season. And continuity in the third season has been noticeable for its absence.

But the miniseries and everything through Home remains in my head as the pinnacle of television.

*laughs* Thanks for the heads up. I figured after the perfection of season one the rest of the series would go at least a little downhill, since that tends to be the way TV works. ;)

*is watching Home now*
