I'm Depressed

I just finished watching the Battlestar Galactica finale. My show is over. And I'm sad. There's a movie in the fall (from the cylon perspective!) and a new series by the same creators next year probably, but it won't be the same. 

Plus not all of my questions were answered. (like they promised) What is Kara? Was her father a cylon? And she disappears at the end and leave Lee all alone! I suppose the point being they were never meant to be. Maybe?!

I'm not saying it was bad. It was good. I still LOVE Baltar. As always his moments were my favorite. Especially with Caprica Six. That made me happy. And their alter egos. I like them too. But so many of the other characters had a sad ending. After everything the characters had been through to get where they are they all separate in the end. Many of them are alone. I find that depressing.

So I still love the series. I will probably frequently watch them again and that's saying a lot for me. I have to really love something to watch it again and not be bored. Maybe re-watching the last season will give me a better perspective about the last episode. Maybe knowing it was the last one and not wanting it to be over made it more depressing. Maybe watching the last season over and knowing what will happen will make the final 15 minutes more palatable to me. 

There are some answers from the creators here, which answers some of my questions above, but even with some answers I'm still sad. It's over and now I will stop babbling about it.

Isn't today done yet?

Today is dragging. It's just one of those days where a minute feels like an hour and the 2 hours until work is over feels like an eternity.

I'm bored. I want work to be over and it just isn't. Plus I'm looking forward to after work because:
  1. It's the weekend
  2. We're going to dinner at Gary Danko's for mom's birthday. So excited
  3. The season finale of Battlestar Galactica will be waiting for me at home. Hwee!

So really. Is this work day over yet?

BSG Nerds


I just had the most awesome Reservations call. A gentleman called saying that he would like to stay with us but that the deal breaker was we had to have the SciFi channel avaialble in our rooms. I called the front desk and found out that we do not have it. When I was letting the guest know I asked him if he was looking to stay with us this weekend and if he needed the SciFi channel to watch Battlestar Galactica. He recognized a kindred soul and we immediately began talking about what we think is going to happen.

Poor man. He and his wife just moved to SF and their stuff is still not unpacked and they have no TV. Apparently no hotel in SF has the SciFi channel. I suggested they watch via the internet, but well as we all know that's not as fun if your connection is not great. He gave me his number before we hung up in case I thought of anything. And I did. Well kinda. I found on Craigslist a restaurant/pub in Berkeley which is having a viewing party. I totally just called this guy back and left him a message with the details. In case anyone else is having this problem or is curious the viewing details are here. Hopefully this will work for his viewing needs, otherwise I hope he figures something else out!
