You missed the Buffy Anniversary at the Beta. All kinds of people showed up over the course of the weekend (and several boards): [link] CB said you had a family commitment.

I'm sorry I missed it. I did have a family thing but I would have found some time to post. Darn. I'm all sad for the old days.

It's season 8. Joss is writing it (or at least the first however many issues). It came out last Wednesday. It's called, The Long Way Home, Part I.

It's wonderful. I recapped the whole thing, here: [link]. It would be an excellent tonic for whup.

I'll read the comic and the recap soon.

I read the BSG spoilers. Wow. And next season is WAY to far off to see what this all means. (Apart from Dylan or Hendrix being the 5th Cylon. Which we knew already, didn't we?)

Audi

Maybe their love child is the fifth cylon?

I think a lot of people are still popping in. When I went over to get the link to the right archived board (where it starts) I saw DarkLady had made a post at the top of the board.

Nightie.

Er, bigger than Kara coming back from the dead and 4 main characters being Cylons?

I'm finally watching Crossroads right now. It's good I am spoiled, I am far more interested now.

Oh. Lord. Just caught up on the Galactica spoilers:

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

Awesome. I'm TOTALLY sticking to my "the show is a black comedy" theory. Seriously, I was applauding while reading. And I know it'll piss lots of people off, but they are wrong, and I am right, because it makes me laugh and laugh. Neener.

And I'd read reactions elsewhere without the details of what they were reacting to, and they were very negative, so I was prepared for it to suck, but have I mentioned? AWESOME.

I feel so much better about everything. Because it's SO FUCKING FUNNY. Goddamn.

SO FUCKING FUNNY. Goddamn.

Dude, I saw your "off to hunt some spoilers" post in Boxed Set and started looking for you to pop up here. Hee!

Aw! It was killing me to not look sooner, especially after Jessica's posts were getting linked to in my normally-spoiler-free-haunts. Damn her!

I made it over too. Hmm.

Welcome to the dark side...

Uh oh. I read your post in Boxed Set, and started to advise you against being spoiled. Since I think characters matter more to you than they do to me. I guess that mostly I thought that you probably wouldn't like it, and that you wouldn't like it even more if you were spoiled for it in advance. But I wasn't sure.

But then I couldn't figure out how to warn you off without maybe giving things away, so I just killed the post.

Thanks for thinking of me. Thing is, I probably like BSG less than most of the people participating in the discussion here, so there's that. I was trying to hold onto suspense to make me care again, and it ended up feeling silly. Buffy? Angel? Firefly? I liked the punch of being unspoiled. Even Wonderfalls.

BSG falls into the middle ground of caring enough that spoilers are interesting, but caring little enough so that spoilers don't ruin a real good thing. Curiosity wins, and I feel okay with that.
