@GrissomLovesSara Haha, same probably, although I do love both. I just finished Battlestar for the first time a couple of nights ago so I'm still on an A/R high and I've pretty much been done with CSI since One To Go. I do probably have more love for Griss than Adama though, I find his social awkwardness endearing. Plus Adama has a bit of a drinking problem. But on the flipside I love Roslin more than Sara. Either way, they're definitely my two favorite TV couples. BSG impacted me more though.

@LiveForLife A/R by a million trillion miles. Grissom was a boy. Adama's a man without a Lady Heather locked in his basement. I can't tell you how much more satisfying A/R were to me as a fan and a woman.

@GrissomLovesSara Do you prefer Griss/Sara or Adama/Roslin?

Just curious.

I loved the look on her face when she realised exactly how that came out lol

Though I have to agree with MMcD about literature and poetry being very romantic and not really mentioned in its simple essence.

Thanks for uploading this video!!!

This showed up on my Youtube homepage the past 2 days - one of my favorite BSG vids. Mary is a goddess & I pray that when I've reached her age that I'll be at least half the woman she is -- b/c even with only that I'd know what it's like to be awesome in my...wait...golden years?...what are those when real women like her exists as phenomenal examples?...Sister Mary McD., we love you! ...so say we all! :oD

I think that everybody was thinking that Mary meant kissing and their relationship together when she said about how Laura really liked it.

[GrissomLovesSara]

seriouly, romance was all but dead on TV until this show. As soon as he gave her that first book I knew their story was going to be amazing. You did see a little tiny inkling of that with Grissom/Sara in that you knew SHE knew all the things he was talking about when he mentioned books or poetry etc but Roslin/Adama is a whole nother ballgame in a league all it's own
