Yay! It's always so nice to hear that people enjoyed a vid. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
I agree with you about BSG not being a shippy show for me. There have been a few characters I've 'shipped I suppose, but those have never been canon ships and they certainly weren't a reason that I would watch, they were just another series of interesting intercharacter relationships that were interesting, like the characters themselves or the plot. Usually I'm a die-hard romantic, so I'm certainly the first to be surprised at expressing sentiments that sound snobbish about shipping (nor do I think it's an invalid reason to enjoy the show), but for me the show just feels...bigger than that somehow?
Also: HEE! I'd totally never thought about how much proxy influence she had even though she doesn't exist! I should have thought of it in those terms, but hadn't. How marvelous! XD
I'm also glad that you kind of get my ambivalence about Baltar. Like you say, his situation is both sympathetic and pathetic. I'm sad for him and disgusted at the same time. :/
