How many of you watched this chick flick?

Honestly not sure what BSG was trying to be. I don't think the writers knew, either. It definitely didn't start off as a chick flick. Baltar was an annoyance and I expected he'd get shipped off to the Cylons in short order but nooooo. By the last season I was only still watching the show out of a sense of investment.

Incidentally, I think Lost is more of a chick flick than Buffy or BSG.



The root question of this thread is whether "nerd card" and "man card" are contradictory.

Buffy is a "nerd card" thing. If you are a nerd, you like Buffy, or vice versa. And considering we are on a forum largely dedicated to people who have spent a lot of time pretending to be wizards, ogres or spaceship pilots, I'm pretty sure you all have a nerd card. (I imagine the conversation would be something like, "Dude, don't pretend to have a man card when you watch Buffy. Let's discuss manly things. Did you see that epic purple staff I got for my wizard last night? Shit was so cash!")

On Syphy (watch out or you'll catch it) they had a behind the scenes preview thing where they talked to the creators. They said they came up with the idea while drunk at a bar. I'm assuming they did the rest of there brainstorming there too. If you think of the show from that perspective then it makes perfect sense.

Also for the nerd card here is a list. You can sneer and/or mock anyone that is ranked lower than you on it.
