The first time I watched The Time of Angels, it was pretty late at night, into my initial first time marathon. Fourth episode, I was already having a great time with the series, and then I get the double punch of River Song and the horribly creepy Weeping Angels.
I started watching Doctor Who a little over a year ago*, basically because I was going through Sherlock withdrawal and figured something by the same showrunner might help me get over it. I’d watched the first few episodes from the Christopher Eccleston series, but then got distracted and never went back to it. So, yes, Matt Smith’s Eleven is my first Doctor, barring some vague memories of Nine. And I really enjoyed series 5, in fact I devoured the first half very quickly* (although I took a long time between the first half and second half), and I just loved the first part of the current series… but somehow I never really got around to actually writing anything about it.
*Upon reading the one real post I made about it, I realized that a) it was actually exactly a year and two days ago that I started, and b), I watched the first eight episodes in one day. So… yeah. Apparently I liked it even more than I remembered.
Today, I rewatched the first two Matt Smith episodes and figured I should fix that.
I’m kind of really really behind on OOO (read that as in: I have no idea about Date’s general state of well-being, in general), but the song is cool! Also, top hats!
Felix Gaeta, most tragic idealist Galactica ever had? I’d say so.
Finished watching through season “4.0” of Battlestar Galactica. The last 6 episodes this has felt like a runway train and I’m just trying to hang on for the ride. I love it.
After the last (and first) Galactica-only post I made, I’d planned to actively blog about it… the problem is I’m too obsessed with it. I’d watch 3 or 4 episodes in one sitting, and by then it’d be kind of late, so I’d think, well tomorrow I can write about this and this and this. Except before I got around to that I’d watch another 3 or 4, so by then I’d kind of gone past what I’d originally wanted to say. In some cases, I’d have more to add, in others, what I’d meant to say was now irrelevant.
And I’ve watched through the 10th episode of the 4th season, the mid-season finale ‘Revelations’, and wow, what a ride. And I never got around to everything I wanted to say…

Okay, seriously why is it that my favorite characters always seem to die or suffer horrible fates? I mean, well, okay, not always, not every one of them, but very very often.
Finished Battlestar Galactica, season 2.
