BATTLESTAR GALACTICA FINALLY MADE IT TO INSTANT ON NETFLIX!  Now I can try it out without dealing with all the mailing and waiting, &c.  Any BSG fans, dear flist?  Thoughts?

In other news, midterms have arrived.  I have a horrendous math test this week, a stats test next week, and a paper due at the end of next week.  My English class is reading Book 2 of the Fairie Queene, and I think I like it, even though it's nearly impossible to read.  Writing a paper on it will be...interesting, to say the least.

I spent most of the day rereading my math book, so I'm going to go watch some Merlin.

BSG is one of my great television loves. I don't think the miniseries is the best, but it gets great. If you're not in love by the end of season 1 you probably won't ever be. But definitely give it a go. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like it you will love it.

It also has one of my biggest OTPs *points to icon*

Oh, so is Season 1 pretty representative of the series as a whole?

Kind of? I mean, it's a very mythology heavy show, and it gets far more twisty and complicated as it goes on. But I think the tone of the show, the balance between darkness and humor and such, that stays pretty consistent. The characters all grow and develop, but generally its a steady, slow growth, so if you hate all of them in season 1 that's probably not going to change. Etc, etc.

Ooh, it sounds promising! Mythology and dark humor. :D
