Fandomwise, it's been a great week for me. It takes 4 magic words (or 2 pairs of 2, if you prefer) to make, my poor fandom heart, beat like a drum and those are "Battlestar Galactica" and "China Beach".
I am 4 years late, but I just started watching BSG and I have to say, this show is amazing! The reason that I never got into watching it in the first place, is because I am not a big Sci-fi fan. Even though, I love Futuristic movies and Science Fiction books, when I hear about battles in space and humans in spaceships fighting wars against evil aliens or evil machines, I..feel sleepy. And I never liked Star Wars (except from Han Solo). Or, Star Trek. So, naturally I never thought BSG was the show for me. But, without any particular reason 2 weeks ago I decided to watch a random episode. The result is, I got so hooked I ended up watching season 3 and half of season 2 in 3 days!
It's such a great show! The story, the characters, the cast, even the space battles! I'm so close to say that it's better than Lost but I won't.. yet. But, it's sooo close. The cool thing is that, now, that Lost is on (a f@!$% second) hiatus, the fourth and final season of BSG has just started, so, hurray for me (and my poor fandom heart)!! If you are like me before I got a BSGaddiction and you have never watched BSG, here are all 3 seasons in 8 minutes (full of spoilers, of course):

In other fandom news, I started watching "China Beach" again after I don't know, 10-15 years maybe? I used to love this show when I was a kid (yes as a kid I used to love a show about the Vietnam War)!
Of course, it's not half as good as I remember it, but being able to watch it again makes me so happy! Hmm, for the time being, though, that's the only thing about it, that makes me happy, because actually watching the show makes me sad (it's probably because I've started watching season 4 which is really sucky, I have to go back to season 1)..
Anyway, there are very few internet resources about this series, but here is a clip of the titles: China Beach title theme song.
