Battlestar Galactica #01

BAM! That's how me and this series met: it hit me, like right in the face (before it did the same with my heart).

I can say that now I get why Battlestar Galactica is so loved. It does have all the cool stuff, the CG is amazing without being just too much, I love the ships... but it's not just a "hey, let's kill these toasters and be national heroes!" kind of story, it's ultimately a story about the human nature and how we never stop making mistakes.

But again, what's right and what's wrong? You're never sure of anything (except that I would never entrust Gaius Baltar with my children --or even a cat, for that matter), you always have new questions, you always want to know how they're gonna survive because, help, everyone is going crazy and what the fuck are you thinking, people!! And all this happens... IN SPACE!

Yeah, I definitely love it.

A couple of elements I truly enjoy and like about BSG:

• The Vipers

Fabulous thing in a fabulous space

Sob, they're so cool. They make me want to play Starfox again.



• Kara "Starbuck" Thrace

<333

To be honest, at the beginning I though she was going to be that kind of female character the writers try to make look strong and "like a man" but in the end she's just a dickhead. I'm very happy to say I was completely wrong! She's amazing, she's cool, she's a bit too... ehm, passionate at times, and quite impulsive. But I really like her.

And she makes the best "what the fracking frack even, why do I still try" faces.

Poor girl.

• Lee "Apollo" Adama

Pollo pulling a Blue Steel

Sometimes a bit cocky, sometimes you just want to kick him in the balls, but! When he follows his heart can do good things. Or not so good, but I kind of grew fond of him for some reason.

We started calling him affectionately "Pollo". Literally it means "chicken" in italian, but it doesn't mean he's scared of everything. More something like... exactly what Apollo is. Sometimes foolish, but in a good way. Or at least, that's what he believes u__u.



• Karl "Helo" Agathon (I had to google his real name. Whaaat)

Hopeless and adorable

Such a good-hearted fool. Such a cute giant. Poor guy, really.



That's all for now. See you when I've finished the second season!
