I know others have mentioned it, but I have to comment on the Weekend of Incredible Fannish Squee that is about to unfold. I mean,
1. Challenge for the Children *waves to NSYNC fandom*,
2. Comic Con in San Diego,
3. Season premieres of SG1, SGA, and BSG,
4. The release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and
5. The premiere of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Are you kidding me with all this? Jesus, it's like they're trying to make our heads explode.
Related to #3, here's a great article on the appeal of BSG, with specific musings on the androgynous, tomboy appeal of Kara Thrace (Salon membership or Day Pass required). Mmm, Starbuck. *drools*
