I wrote the bulk of this last night - or, more accurately, in the wee hours this morning, before finally getting tired and toddling off to bed.So: I am a gnome. And also a very poor lj-friend of late. But the inevitable excuses will have to wait for another time. I should *so* be in bed right now, but I can't seem to sleep! All my excitement and ( Read more... )

I should totally be headed to bed right now, but this topic is on my mind and sort of refuses to geroff. I can only hope to dislodge it through writing ( Read more... )

Ron Moore told me something I didn't want to know. Which I would repeat here, protected by a spoiler space, except that I can't think of a way to indicate what kind of a spoiler it is in a way that doesn't effectively give away the information itself.

Has anyone else been taking advantage of the option (extended each week for the last three weeks) to watch the latest episode of bsg early, by way of the SciFi channel website?  You have to show up at a particular time, usually midmorning of the day it will air, to catch the whole streaming broadcast from the beginning, and there are a few ( Read more... )

Poor Battlestar.  I get so tired of the way my current pet-fandom gets portrayed in the media.  On the one hand, it's always nice to see the critics - (including Heather Havrilesky, my long-time favorite tv reviewer, as much for her bad taste in reality tv and wildly irresponsible prose as for her exceptionally good taste in everything else) - ( Read more... )
