Ok, I know it's been a while, fellow nerd-lovers. In my defense, it's tough balancing a career, multiple extracurricular activities, a social life, and my relationship with a certain Captain Nerd-o. I was recently reminded of my writing project on Facebook the other day...I mean while I was busy grading. Anyway, several of my friends have started these awesome blogs about baking, yoga, time management, fashion, you name it. Well if they can manage to write once or twice a week, why can't I?
Back to BSG. Captain Nerd-o has been trying to get me to watch Battlestar Galactica for the duration of our two year relationship, and I just wasn't having it. I mean, the show looks like a modern version of Star Trek. No, thank you. That's the crap that my father used to watch, and record religiously on VCR (back in the Stone Age, obviously).
But then I found out that you can watch BSG for FREE on Netflix; I didn't even have to waste a precious disc in my queue! I figured that if I hated it, I could just pretend that the internet at my house suddenly went down. My technologically-inept nerd/boyfriend would never know the difference. Game on.
Of course you all know what happens next...I end up becoming absolutely enthralled with the show. Not like reading Gotrek and Felix, where my arm had to be twisted to finish a chapter. I could bore you with arguments on the captivating plot, complex characterization, blah, blah blah, or.....
I could just leave you with this:
Capt. Lee Apollo
Now I know you're all about to become die-hard fans.
