Crossovers....

Battlestar Greylactica. Or Battlestar's Anatomy. Haha, that one sucked. Um... Grey's Battlestar. Grey's Galactica. Hahaaa, no. 

Let's just say Battlestar Greylactica.

I watch Battlestar Galactica, and I cried when it was over. The end was sooo sad. So I looked up Mary Mcdonnell and found she's in a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy. However, she's in Season 5. Being brilliant like I am, I said "Let's start at episode one. It can't take too long to catch up." Lies. That was nearly a year ago. I watched season one, two, and maybe part of three? I don't remember. It's a soap opera; it's all the same. Anyways, last night, I skipped to season 5 and the three episodes Mary is in.

AHHMAZING!!

Ok, maybe not that great, but I quite enjoyed it. She plays Virginia Dixon, who's a great heart surgeon. However, she has Asperger's Syndrome. If you don't know what it is, go look it up, I'm not an expert. But what it eventually equated to was raising the acting bar. She did a great job. I think if you feel so embarrassed for a character that you have to bury your face in a pillow, they did well.

To the point: I think it would be rather interesting to write a Grey's/Battlestar crossover, in which Grey's is happening roughly 150,000 years after Battlestar. If you've seen it, you'll remember the whole "it has happened before, it shall happen again" prophecy and Gaius' hallucinated Six saying maybe the circle was ending.

It could be set in Grey's with Dixon as the "dying leader"/Laura Roslin, and Adama would have to be an OC, I suppose. How interesting could this get? You could do a whole novel....

What's your opinion on fanfiction? Stops creativity by already having a set universe and characters, or encourages creativity by letting authors focus solely on the plot and character development, rather than who and where?

If I ever get around to writing this, it'll be here.

It's been about a year now.

It's been about a year since I started watching Battlestar Galactica. It's probably about my favorite show of all time. I don't know how much that means, seeing as the only other thing I really watch is Masterpiece on PBS, haha.

But it's great. The acting, the people, the plot, the effects. Mary McDonnell, playing Laura Roslin is my favorite. She's wonderful, and Roslin's arc through the series is breathtaking. She changes so much.

Is it bad that I still cry when I see her and Adama kiss, or when I watch the Daybreak episodes?
A screen-cap from a SyFy interview.
Watch it if you ever can, it's on Netflix. Listen to the soundtrack, especially the fourth. Bear McCreary does a great job. The drums are absolutely LEGIT. My favorite song is "An Easterly View." Listen.

It was funny; the power in our school was out for two hours today, and the first thing out of my mouth is "OHMYGOSHTHISISLIKEACYLONINVASION!!" Followed by "HASANYONESEENBATTLESTARGALACTICA?!IT'STHEBESTTHINGEVER!!!!NO,IT'SNOTTHENERDYSTUFFIUSUALLYTALKABOUT,IT'SLEGIT!!!"

I'm a bit of a wacko sometimes. We played cards and screamed and told anti-jokes the entire time.

Any good Battlestar anti-jokes?

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? The Cylons blowing up Caprica.

Why couldn't Laura Roslin shoot a Cylon? Because she was dying.

Haha, these are awful. Help me. :)
