Ohhhhh, man. I just discovered that the entirety of BSG is up on Netflix Instant Watch now. It's like they know exactly how to suck away all of my time. (Yes, I think a rewatch might be coming. Perhaps after I watch, er, The Dresden Files? I heard the series was terrible, but that was from a fan of the books, which I believe I've mentioned my ( Read more... )
