BSG (because i don't know your least favourites, i think??) and HDM (because reasons).
lool omg it’s funny because it’s true. it’s been, idk, five years of flailing about bsg and we NEVER talked about our least favourites? well, it is understandable giving that we spent all that time crying and bawling about Madame Airlock and the Space Parents. i miss the old days. someday we have to do a rewatch together. *.*
favourite female character: MADAM FRAKKING PRESIDENT.(surprise!!) she is the driving force of the entire fleet. she does what she has to do to ensure the survival of the human race and fuck the consequences. she’s really passionate about the things she believes in (i mean, she has cancer and yet she puts her presidential obligations before her own health) and from the moment she’s elected president she always strives to be better at her job and we actually see her getting better and growing more confident in her position. the most important thing about her character is that she’s no hero and she knows it - she always accepts responsibility for her actions no matter how fucked up they are. and she always get the giggles before a debate. LAURA ROSLIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. (and she was played magnificently by Mary McDonnell. even after all these years i’m still waiting for someone to give her an emmy)
favourite male character: crew of galactica, people of the fleet, this is Admiral Adama. (no, but are you really surprised?). he’s just so calm and has always the other people’s best interests at heart, but at the same time he projects that cold-as-ice persona that instills fear and respect into all those around him. i just love the contrast. and yah sometimes he could be an asshole (just look at the way he treated lee) and he made a lot of questionable decisions, but isn’t that what makes him so flawed, so human?
least favourite female character: uhm, Cally? i appreciate how human she is, her stubbornness to fight for her beliefs and things that matter to her (even if sometimes she went a little too far) and i feel sorry for her, because she was a really sick person and constantly forced to be someone she was not. but…the writers never gave her the respect she deserved and most of the time her character was just…idk…there to make us feel sorry for the Chief? so, what i’m trying to say is that i don’t hate her, but, yeah, she’s my least favourite because of the shitty material her character was given and not exactly because of the character itself. does that make sense?
least favourite male character: Chief. fuck you, Chief. and that’s all i’m saying about the subject.
favourite ship: SPACE PARENTS!!!!!!! the most beautiful and best developed love story in the whole history of television. it was such a beautiful journey right from the moment they met. Roslin and Adama may have reached the Earth in the end, but they had already found it long before in each other. they both were experienced and extremely practical people and it’s amazing that at that point of their lives they found solace in each other and were able to learn new things and redefine themselves together. FUCK YEAH SINE QUA NON.
least favourite ship: Chief/Cally or Caprica/Tigh? that’s the question.
show rating: this is hard. you know how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this show, but there are so many things wrong with season 4 that downplayed a lot of what had been established in the previous seasons and ruined a lot of characters. it’s for that exact reason that I’m giving it a 8/10 (please don’t be mad at meeee)
