Oh, all right TSCC, but your fandom has a tragic lack Agent Ellison icons.

Oh, all right. I still don't love it like burning, but when you start getting vid bunnies (even if they're the ones you're trying to ignore), it's time to call it quits and get an icon.

Plus there's the fact that I appear to be developing a rather large crush on Agent Ellison. It's somewhat embarassing. But not quite as embarassing as the time I realised I fancied Sam Anders. (Yes, I always get embarassed about having crushes on people; I go through denial, then bargaining, then acceptance. No, I'm not sure why either).

But seriously, where are all the Agent Ellison icons? Am I going to be forced to accept that NOT everyone thinks the show should be all about him, and perhaps Sarah? And that every episode ought to feature them having angsty conversations and nuanced portrayals of faith and robots?

I looked for like a whole THIRTY MINUTES and I only found two, and the other one was kinda crappy. It could have been worse, I could have been looking for Shirely Manson Catherine Weaver icons. There weren't any of those. But that's okay cus I don't really like her. Whereas:

AGENT ELLISON, DAMMIT! HE DOES AWESOME THINGS LIKE TEACH ROBOTS ABOUT GOD BECAUSE THAT ALWAYS LEADS TO PEACE AND HARMONY, AMIRITE?

And...there wasn't really any point to this post. Like, at all.

Also: I have inexplicably finished that fic I started about six months ago (where Natalie was alive and stuff), and I'm not really sure how that happened or how it got to be so long. I've become comfortable with being a fanvidder but I still feel odd about writing fiction like this that's not, like, as a result of a prompt or something. Which I'd try to explain but I already established I get embarassed and awkward about the stupidest stuff. So, my goal is to get it beta'd and such by the time the new series starts so it can invalidate it all. GO ME!

Also: Happy New Year to all you suckers who have to wait an extra 9 - 17ish hours for 2009!

Also: I am reading the script for the Caprica pilot. I am, so far, supremely unimpressed but I'm not that far through with it yet. It could redeem itself. More news as it breaks.

Cameron still remains my favorite character, but I'm growing fonder of Ellison with each episode. Catherine would be my least favorite and John I find rather 'meh', but, like BSG, I don't actively hate any character.

Yeah, I agree with your assessment of Catherine and John. Though I hate Catherine less now; I think that her acting limitations are being used in a better fashion or perhaps she's just receiving less screentime. Also I think Agent Ellison's presence makes her a lot more tolerable.

I actually neglected to mention that I also really like Cameron. She can also stay on the show. Actually my potential vid bunny is probably going to be from her POV, roughly. If I ever make it. I think I'm mainly wary of Cameron because she's so fascinating but I feel kind of off-balance because my mind keeps comparing her to cylons which she clearly isn't. And I have to go into all these new weird questions about robot sentience when she's a lot further behind on that evolutionary scale. Which is all kinds of interesting in a good way, but also kind of uncomfortable. Which is also good, but...means that I avoid her when I'm trying not to get headaches. ;)

Though it's worth noting that the Cameron episodes of TSCC are consistantly my favourites.
