BSG and stuff...
I'm almost done with season two of BSG. I have to say that I like it most of the time. There's some icky race-related stuff and some really icky women related stuff. I think years and years of being into sci-fi and (particularly) loving Mass Effect has given me a firm 'sentience equals people' mentality. So, the devaluing of life because it's partially synthetic is icky to me.
Also, Gaius is like the biggest douchebag ever. Just sayin'.
(also, watching this tends to drive me toward a long, angry rant about the subtle shaming of women with overt sexual drives in media. Because, it drives me nuts. Seriously, any time a female character on tv actually openly enjoys sex, especially if she's not properly married or whatever, there's always a subtle or overt shaming or punishing of it. Sometimes, it's 'she's seekritly miserable' or 'she gets called a slut/whore/whatever' by someone she loves/works with/etc or 'she gets drunk and bad stuff happens' or 'she sleeps with a serial killer/murder/rapist/bad dude of the week' or 'she gets a stalker' or 'she gets accidentally pregnant' or 'she gets an STD' or 'she gets raped' or whatever else sort of Shakespearian punishment for daring to own her body and what she does with it.) Oops, I guess I ranted anyhow.
