Dear fanfic authors,

I know they are etymologically related and it's confusing, but you mean "ravished," not "ravaged."

Love,

In other etymology news, I just realized something about the new BSG spinoff show Caprica: ( minor spoilers for eps. 1-3 )

It's easy to focus on BSG's daddy issues, what with Papadama and his all-consuming Adama Family Drama. (See also: Dee's last fight with her father, Kara and her deadbeat dad, Cavil as Evil Cylon Father, Tigh and Liam, Baltar and humanity...) But let's look at the mothers for a minute.

I have no fillings, so I can't pick up the Mysterious Music of Impending Plot Point on my own. All I can do is speculate. ( And type along as I watch. )

First, I have not been able to get to my parents' house and watch the BSG they've been recording for me, so I haven't seen anything after "A Day in the Life." *is sad, but taking consolation in the fact that that means will be able to watch multiple episodes at once later ( Read more... )
