BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

My favorite female character: Six (any incarnation of), Sharon (Boomer, Athena), Kendra Shaw
My favorite male character: Helo, Gaius Baltar, Sam Anders
My favorite book/season/etc: Season two, I just really loved the flow of the second season, the arcs it featured, it was just a really solid season.
My favorite episode (if it's a tv show): "Downloaded", perhaps one of the many reasons why I loved the second season was getting an episode from the Cylon's perspective, specifically featuring Caprica Six and Boomer. At that point in the show we didn't really see much from the Cylons and to get an entire episode focused on them was fantastic. It remains one of my top favorite episodes. I also want to mention "Razor", which technically isn't an episode but I consider it part of the show anyway, but I loved seeing an entirely new character and focusing one something different.
My favorite cast member: Oh man, I love them all, but I have to say Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff, especially since I followed them after BSG and where they did their livestreaming sessions and hung out and their charity stuff. I love how they are just really close friends.
My favorite ship/OTP: Six/Gaius, Helo/Athena, Sam/Kara
A character I’d die defending: Boomer. I felt like her character got the rotten end of the deal, both on the show and among the fandom, mostly after everything that happened on the New Caprica arc. But I always sympathized with Boomer in that she just felt lost, she was at a crossroads of not knowing where she belonged anymore, and she felt betrayed and hurt that another Eight basically took her place among the Galactica crew. Even though it wasn't easy for both of them, I feel like the story focused more on Athena than one Boomer and where she was in all of this. I didn't like some places the show took to kind of show this, including her ending in the series finale, but I'll always defend Boomer because I felt like she was just lost and didn't know where she stood anymore.
A character I just can’t sympathize with: Helena Cain. I mentioned how I liked "Razor", and that was good for making us understand where her character came from with her decisions, but it didn't make me sympathize with her because of it. It doesn't excuse the actions she took later on.
A character I grew to love: Dee, I didn't dislike her necessarily but I wasn't attached to her character. It wasn't until I rewatched the series multiple times before I realized that, yeah, she deserved better.
My anti ship: Kara/Lee. Which I know is an unpopular opinion since it was quite a popular ship, but I never liked the pairing because I felt they were too toxic for each other. They brought out the worst in one another, and they willingly cheated on their significant others, hurting them, because of their emotions. I also never liked Cally/Tyrol.
