So, it is party time again, folks!

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation

Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I've see the first couple of seasons of it, and slowly watching more as my partner enjoys it. However, it is a bit too dark and confusing for me (especially trying to tell the various versions of the cylons appear....). I haven't seen much of the original (one or two episodes), but it seemed much less dark.

I'm not particularly into the new ST - I've seen both films and they are okay, but no where as good as the tv.

The original is a bit naive, perhaps even childish in some places, but it had an epic quality and morals and a few excellent actors (points at icon). I have nothing against dark new stuff, but they shouldn't sell it under the name of a beloved classic.

Sounds like it could be fun to watch at some point. :)

Totally agree about rebooting things - it is a pity they can't come up with new stuff, instead of it all being continuations and reboots.

The really annoying part is that the new version has nothing in common with the original, save for a few names. There's, however, a lot of gratutious violence, character rape and idiocy.
