see, I'm not completely ignorant of BSG, just very behind. I've seen up to mid season 3. My ex was/is a huge fan so he made me watch it and then of course I got excited about it too. I maintain, and have said so to various people, that BSG is arguably the best drama in current TV. That's probably why I haven't gotten fannish about it - it's like the canon is already so good and engaging that I don't feel the need to find any fanfic... I've read some, sure, but then again I've read some fanfic and a great deal of fandoms, including ones where I've never seen/read/otherwise fondled the canon.
