BSG thoughts (yes, I know I'm lame)

I've been rewatching Battlestar Galactica, and I've decided that each of the Cylon models have been developed with the image and personality of each of the Greek gods. Now that I think of it, I can't believe the thought never occurred to me before now. The number six Cylon would be Aphrodite, and I think it would be the god Aphrodite who is appearing to Baltar. She believes in this one true God and I think that God would be Zeus. Now I just have to wonder if there is a Cylon model based off of Zeus. If there is, he hasn't been seen yet.

Once I get further in the rewatching, I will post more thoughts on which Cylon model equals which Cylon model.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I suck at posting on this blog. But you knew that already. Here's some TV stuff because obviously I've begun to care about TV again.

Yesterday I watched the first three episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This is a show that I loathe in theory. Whenever I think of it, I'm reminded of the roommate I had who loved the show Charmed and occasionally I'd sit down with her and, while eating a sandwich (because it's better to watch really terrible television than nothing while eating), I'd watch Charmed. Charmed is a terrible show. It's corny. The acting is mostly terrible, the characters are impossible to care about because they are shallow. There is no conflict in ethics with any of the character because the "good characters" are good and the viewer would be crazy to side with the "bad" characters. (Sadly, the bad characters are actually more interesting than the heroines.)

Because this is the image I have of supernatural things in TV and because a bunch of my stupid friends in high school loved Buffy, I have refused, up to this point, to watch it. But I finally decided that perhaps it might be an okay show. I did like Firefly--a lot--and it was created by the same guy who created Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Let me just say that three episodes in I am enjoying Buffy only slightly more than I enjoy Charmed (I prefer Charmed to a root canal). But there is something about it that I find fascinating. I can certainly understand why a teenage girl with angst would watch it. But why should I watch it? Hmmm.
