I was going to embed the YouTube video of this, even though Battlestar Galactica nerdiness isn’t very cool, but luckily the video couldn’t even be embedded. So mp3 only! I’m going to end up talking about BSG anyway, I apologize. The show left a bad taste in my mouth with its fairly disastrous final season, but there were still at least some high points. And even though the 4th season was bad, that doesn’t stop the first two and a half seasons from being probably the most epic show I’ve ever watched. Every time I go back and listen to the soundtracks (usually skipping around), I remember how much I enjoyed it, and get the urge to post a random song on this blog.

I may have posted a gif of Admiral Adama puking to convey my thoughts on the series finale of Battlestar Galactica, but the show was still fuck-amazing for at least two and half seasons, with smatterings of brilliance thereafter. This piece of music too epic for television immediately sends me back to the intense moment of the series which it scored, spinning camera and all. In what other television show are you going to get frantic strings contrasted with overwhelming, awesome percussion? Shit, I am so going to buy the entire overpriced Blu-ray set when it comes out. Yes, I am a fucking nerd.
