I know…I thought I would be SOO sad around this time but I feel…happy, At peace and glad it’s over.
Maybe becasue I was so happy with the end…
I still miss not seeing the promos and joing the live calls but there isn’t a hole in my heart like I thought there was going to be…
Anyone else know what I’m saying?
Yeah. I do.
“We can be slaves, or we can be…”
Alpacas!!!
LOL!!
“Cylons”?
Even though I loved the ending and thought it was the perfect way to sign off , looking back as i re-watch the episodes in season 1 and seeing again some of the great scenes I’d forgotten, is making me miss it even more.
Maybe i’ll create my own “cycle” of continually re-watching the whole series…I’ve seen it before and i’ll see it again…and again…and again
I think I would miss it more if I wasn’t watching other shows. At the moment, I’m tied up in Lost, 24, Damages, The Sopranos and I’ve just started watching the BBC run of The Wire which is starting to get interesting now. Although, writing my fanfic makes me feel a bit sad thinking about episodes like 33.
If they hadn’t spread the show out over such a long period of time, I’d probably miss it a lot more. But since the show came to us in drips and drops over the past few years, seeing it again was like catching up with an old friend. And I’m very pleased with the ending, so that helps quite a bit as well.
I’m still pretty sad - but I attribute that to the usual post series finale hangover - I get so used to the feeling of anticipation that when it’s over so suddenly it puts my system into shock a bit - I miss that feeling.
It happened when Buffy ended too. It’ll pass. 
Never saw Buffy.
I think it’s becasue they spread it out over such a long time I knew it was coming ahead of time…
The end of BSG was like any story I find myself enthralled by. The night of was terrible. I dreamt of Starbuck and the end of the show and generallys lept terribly and felt hollowed out as my favorite characters lived their own lives in my head and no longer had a story to tell me directly.
After that it was fine, and I look forward to a re-watch, and I’m glad the show ended when it did instead of stretching out even further.
I think part of why I feel okay is that I was satisfied by the ending and that I have the community here. I’m very excited by the Trek arc, especially because I’m not a Trek person, so I have something new to focus on. Plus I’m watching other shows, Dollhouse, Lost, 24 and Idol.
I didn’t expect so many people to be fans of 24.
We knew Buffy was ending an entire year before it did - for me the knowing doesn’t matter so much. It still hits me the minute the last show is over - that I’ll never have that experience of anticipating a new episode ever again. Like today - I miss that feeling of “OMG what’s going to happen tonight on BSG” I miss the shared excitement with everyone here on GWC.
Like I said it’ll pass eventually. And I’m glad the show ended on RDM’s terms and didn’t go on too long and then get cancelled.
Yeah, the ending tied so many things up that if feels more like the ending of a good book and less like a canceled TV show. It’ll just be a book/TV show that I’ll be happy to revisit once and a while.
I agree that it has been a busy time for TV. All of my key shows were being shown at the same time: BSG, 24, Big Love, & Lost. I guess its telling about our tastes that our favorite shows are the “hard to watch” serials that get dumped out to the audience in the dead of winter…
24 has came back with a vengeance this year. I was getting worried for a few seasons but it is as good as ever now.
I fell completely satisfied by BSG. The story was completed and addressed all my questions. I may end up missing the guarantied excellent quality but I won’t be jonesen for additional content.
…pantsless!!! :d
That’s interesting, cause I’ve gone completely the opposite way… I have a bunch of my favorite shows on DVR (Heros, Chuck, Dollhouse) that are just sitting there… I thought it would be like, “ok, now I’m done with BSG, I can catch up on all my other favorite shows”… but I can’t seem to throw myself into anything else, at this moment. My mind was so captivated by this show, that watching something else seems a bit… heretical? I’m still savoring the chocolately-BSG taste on my tongue, and I don’t want any more flavors to intrude, just yet.
I have been catching up on Flight of the Conchords, but that’s an entirely different animal.
I’m kind of like you, except in reverse - I thought I’d be rewatching Battlestar right away, but I found I am putting it off until I can just sit down for hours and hours to watch it all. I compare it to everything else I see, and I still wish I would get new BSG, even though I appreciate that it ended with a period.
Still refuse to watch it:p
and Cody, your going to hell:D
LOL!!
I guess part of this is becasue I’m on break right now and I’ve had more time to spend with my girlfriend.
I have my weekends back now, And in a way my life too.I don’t have to dig so deeply anymore. I may be going to hell but I’m sure as hell and going to enjoy myself before I do.
