DECIDE!!! DECIDE! *hints with icon*

I picked the most unimpressed picture I could. Honestly, sometimes I don't think people read my journal at all.

From: [identity profile] indilime.livejournal.com


I CAN'TTTTTTTTTTT. I love Zoe and she's all kinds of badass, but Veronica is my idol. If I picked one over the other, I'd feel like I'm letting the other down. I WILL NOT CHOOSE.

Favourite tough chick:

How could you make me choose!?!?!

I only chose Faith because I've loved her forever and she should be my wife.

Any more questions?!

Can you cry underwater?

AM I the only one on the planet that doesn't like the new BSG. As much as she's hot and She is the most incredibly attractive person in the cast, Starbuck is so not a girl for me. I now it's cliche and corny and outdated and all the rest of it, but the only BSG for me is the original.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


*shrugs* you're entitled to your own opinion, of course. I happen to think it's well-written and classy and I like it.

From: [identity profile] nentari.livejournal.com


So far I've been unable to watch an episode of the new BSG from start to finish. I think, from what I've watched so far, that the writing is great and the casting is spot on, but my 20-year-old love for the original still makes me cringe whenever I see the new version. *shrugs* I think I'd probably feel differently if they had given different names to the characters from the new version, given that they're different people and this is not a remake of the original series. Tough and sexy (and well-written) as she might be, every time I see girl!Starbuck I run to my DVD of the original's pilot and ask boy!Starbuck for forgiveness...

From: [identity profile] nentari.livejournal.com


True, true... But boy!Starbuck isn't in the new version either. The good thing about the two versions is that we can each have a sexy guy according to our taste ;)

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I didn't even mean in terms of drool potential. Believe it or not (lol), I actually love Helo as a character. I didn't pay that much attention to him at first, but the combination punch of his looks and his sweet, romantic nature kind of took me down at some point in the first season.

To be fair though I hadn't seen the original BSG before I saw the new version. I watched a couple of episodes and had trouble with taking it seriously, so I stopped. One of the really great things about the new version that the old one lacked is a sense of real gender equality. I liked the original Starbuck, though.

From: [identity profile] nentari.livejournal.com


Well, since I associate hotness and drool potential with the combination of good looks and interesting (and well-written, when it comes to characters) personality I completely understand what you mean about what attracted you to Halo. Even though Dirk Benedict was a cutie, it's Starbuck's cheeky personality that appealed to me even more than his looks. Plus there's the natural chemistry between Starbuck and Apollo - if I were to write fics from that fandom, those two would make the stories write themselves...

To be fair though I hadn't seen the original BSG before I saw the new version. I watched a couple of episodes and had trouble with taking it seriously, so I stopped.
Oh, I completely understand. I know a lot of other fans of the new version that don't watch the original for that same reason, while fans of the original (like myself) don't really feel comfortable with the new version because it feels so strange when compared to the old one. They have completely different vibes - which, in retrospect, I think works in favor of the new BSG by making it a show of its own instead of a remake or a reinterpretation.

Surprisingly enough, the change in the boomer character doesn't irritate me half as much as Starbuck does. Maybe it's just my love of the Original Starbuck and Apollo that is carrying over.

From: [identity profile] nentari.livejournal.com


Yeah, I didn't have that much problem about Boomer's "sex change" as I had with Starbuck's, even though I was very fond of the original Boomer. It's just my childhood crush on Dirk Benedict (which is still strong and present) that makes me look at the new Starbuck in shock. That, and knowing that, even if Starbuck/Apollo would still be a pairing as interesting and chemistry-filled as in the original, it wouldn't be slash anymore.

From: [identity profile] ack-attack.livejournal.com


I'm so happy I finally started watching BSG. And I've only seen Helo for like 2 episodes, but I thought he was hot! And now I'm glad he must survive past the 2nd episode.

From: [identity profile] leishpod.livejournal.com


ahhh that av makes me so happy every time I see it :D

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I didn't really know how to not spoil people on that point, because I couldn't spam without including him. I knew he survived before I watched, too. It's kind of hard not to if you know ANYTHING about the show.

From: [identity profile] ack-attack.livejournal.com


Haha yeah, I didn't really think of that as a spoiler. I was relieved. It was funny - when I watched the miniseries, I was like HELLO HELO and then he went and acted all noble and said he'd stay. And then I was sad because I thought he wasn't a real character. But now I know he is and I am pleased :D

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I was happy when he came back, but his storyline had me so tense for a while I almost didn't want to like him.

Well when you watch the show come back to my journal, I am about to post icons :D

From: [identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com


Wow, your flist totally fails at the BSG watching.

Though I'm sure mine does too.

COME ON PEOPLE! BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION!

Also, I am slightly bummed that my two favorite chicks are coming out last. However, Zoe and Veronica both rock my socks TOO, so I'm not gonna split hairs :)


From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I think my flist generally only wins at the Lost and Firefly watching, actually, judging by the results of that poll. Though I get the feeling there are a few Veronica Mars fans not saying the cast is hot, which is just WRONG. Silly people. Though I like Lost and Veronica Mars more than BSG.

My favourite chick is winning XD

From: [identity profile] flamingo-killer.livejournal.com


LOL I LOVE THE LAST QUESTION.

Also, hi. How can people not think the cast of VMars is hot? HAVE YOU NOT SEEN MICHAEL MUHNEY, PEOPLE?

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I KNOW. MUHNEY. And what about Ryan Hansen, Kristen Bell, PIZ?!?! Francis Capra for the [livejournal.com profile] indilime crowd, Jason Dohring...I mean, the show had CHARISMA CARPENTER on it. What show are those people watching? Pfft.

From: [identity profile] flamingo-killer.livejournal.com


I KNOW. They're probably some of the sorry people who AREN'T watching it :((.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Actually, I get the feeling a few Veronica Mars watchers aren't ticking the hot box for the cast, which is saddening.

Go post at [livejournal.com profile] boysofculttv.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Yeah, I know, I was cranky. They ARE hot! Though to be fair I didn't click the 'cast of Buffy' box. Some are, some aren't, but more importantly they don't click as a cast as much as the other shows, you know?

Post when you get home. Please? I don't want my community to die :(

From: [identity profile] flamingo-killer.livejournal.com


Well, I haven't gotten to Buffy yet so I can't comment on the truth of that statement, but I definitely agree that the chemistry of a cast induces sexiness.

I'll try and post later--I've gotta go vote and then go to dinner with my dad then work. BUT THEN. Yes. :D
ext_2705: (BSG TahmohPretty by luck_)

From: [identity profile] zoniduck.livejournal.com


How are there people in fandom who aren't watching BSG? I just don't understand.

Also? That picture doesn't even do Tahmoh justice. Neither does this icon. You definitely need to make Helo icons. For reals.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I didn't because it was on ridiculously late at night here, and it wasn't until the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] viennawaits posted the episodes for me to download that I got into it. I think it takes effort to see BSG in the first place, so it's harder to get into it. But it was my flist who said I should watch it, so now I'm trying to get others into it! Maybe I'll do an Entourage pimp post next, viewership for that show is just woeful and I love it as much as BSG. In totally different ways, of course.

LOL no, but he looks reeeeeally unimpressed in it, and that's how I was feeling. Even if you DON'T watch Battlestar Galactica, surely people have been reading my journal?! I tried to do him justice in my spam, though - tough pictures and cute pictures alike. Lots of arms.

From: [identity profile] the-rhianna.livejournal.com


It's really strange because upon my first viewing of BSG I wasn't the biggest Helo fan, I mean I liked him but I didn't love it. I rewatched it all while I made my mother watch for the first time and I positively fell in love with him.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I didn't fall for him until the end of the first season was drawing near and then I suddenly fell completely in love with him. I can't even remember which episode it was. He wasn't doing anything more interesting than running around Caprica escaping from Cylons with his Boomer, but I suddenly loved him.

From: [identity profile] leishpod.livejournal.com


naww. I didn't see Zoe on the list (cos I'm so not awake yet) I feel like a traitor to my fireflyness :(

If you click 'view answers' then look at the top of the next page there's a link to 'fill out poll' and you can change your answers :)

From: [identity profile] carencey77.livejournal.com


Oh teh Tahmoh. Yummy.

Clarification on one of my votes--I really like Heroes so far. However, the only one I'd rank as ohmygawdhot out of that cast is Mohinder.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Guh. Mohinder is hot.

I love Greg Grunberg, too, I think he's sexy. And a lot of people like Milo Ventimiglia and Ali Larter.
