Mmm mmm, toasty toaster

If you missed Battlestar Galactica: Razor -- or worse, you skipped the commercials -- you missed one of the great moments in advertising history. Link to YouTube video with spoilers for one of the show's, er, relationships between two now-dead characters.

Almost makes you miss the Spongmonkeys, doesn't it?

There is nothing.

NOTHING.

That would make me miss the Spongmonkeys.

Wait, I thought that one of the two involved in that relationship was still alive. Just, you know, spending a lot of time wishing she were dead. Then again, so many of her model are running around it's easy to forget which ones got offed.

Spoilers below....

From what I remember, Gina's suicide came on the heels of the destruction of a resurrection ship, which meant Gina was too far away from an available ship to be downloaded. Which is okay; I think Gina'd been through enough that even reliving it vicariously post-download seemed to be too much.

Oh yeah...emphasizes how far back even the "present day" scenes of Razor are set, that was pre-New-Caprica.

Erm. OK. Classy!

(But I always miss the Spongmonkeys. Always. Their sweet voices, their lyrical prowess ...)

I saw this lampooned in Shortpacked, laughed, and thought, "Wait...that has to be a joke, right? But, it has to be based on something. Oh gods, I fear..."

Thanks for confirming the reality of it. I think.

Oh. My. God. :O

I thought they were just *joking* when they talked about the "brought to you by" part, like the usual sort of ad was following the promo. Not that it was literally HOT LESBIAN LOVERS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MMMMM TOASTY.

I would not mock the corporate-sponsored blonde bisexual cyborgs. I thought you knew me better than that. :P

procrastinating by reading the LJ friends page I haven't touched in AGES, and uhm. agh.. I am in the middle of watching the 3rd season of BSG, thanks for reminding me that my acquisition of those episodes not yet released on DVD is EXCRUCIATINGLY FUCKING SLOW.

[sigma7.livejournal.com]

YAY! You're alive! Was concerned.

But watching BSG is a perfectly wond'rous way to spend your time. And it's not like S4 is going to come out anytime soon (seriously, MARCH?), so you're still on pace. Relatively.

And if you're where I think you are, you're in that lull between apocalypses, which is an adequate place to linger. (And Razor actually takes place before New Caprica, so you could watch it spoiler-free, I think. Worth it for much more than the mmm mmm mmm mmm toasty bits, I promise.)
