In light of the 20th anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I got to thinking about what other reunions I would love to see, and miraculously it seems that there will be a Battlestar Galactica reunion soon! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

While their 20th anniversary is still a ways away, I kinda still want there to be a resurgence of BSG merchandise since most places that used to have some things aren't available anymore, and if there it's only a few. I mean, there's going to be new BTVS merch because of their anniversary, and things like Firefly have been going strong in the market for years, but somehow BSG, a critically acclaimed successful science fiction series somehow doesn't. I know it's all about timely popularity and supply and demand and all of that, but I'm positive that the fandom would be all over new merchandising. But that's just my personal gripe at the moment. Mostly because I just want and need more BSG stuff because I'm kicking myself that I didn't take full advantage to get the things I wanted when they were still available.

Oh wow, that reunion sounds great! I wouldn't expect anything near the same level of celebrations for BSG's 20th anniversary though, alas. For whatever reason, it's just not as popular/its fandom doesn't seem to be as obsessed or enduring. It's actually a real pet peeve of mine, the way I go to my local convention every year and there is almost no BSG merch, almost no BSG costumes, ans there has yet to be a guest who was on BSG, with all the random sci-fi fandoms that have been included. And it's not just a matter of how long ago the show was, since I would see Harry Potter stuff for instance (even before the new play and FB). *sigh* Such a shame.

I've been meaning to get into BSG for years. Maybe this is the final push I need.

Are you more a fan of the original or the (apparently really good) reboot?

I loved Buffy so much. It's crazy that has been already 20 years.

Oooh BSG reunion!

I would love to see more of them. The show was fantastic and you're right, merch would sell. Firefly merch sells because it's out there. It has to be available in order for it to sell. I wish more shows would just have cool things available.

Availability of merchandise always strikes me as kind of strange. Presumably, if X gets popular enough, then your can have merchandise that goes on forever long past its end- see Star Wars, and the entire Expanded Universe that arose after the first six movies. And sure, I get that sitting in a warehouse somewhere isn't helpful, but on the other hand, people would want it even in small amounts?
