Updating my ipod, barely
Am dumping BSG Seasons 1 & 2 onto my ipod — I am almost halfway through converting season 2. (I also have a few other shows I might put on there, I am not sure how much room I have left. And realistically, I do not need more than my season of Deadwood and two seasons of BSG. But I have quite a number more. I still have not figured out how to get my Buffy DVDs there.) The problem is that, though I watched the miniseries and the first episode, and though they were interesting, they didn’t hook me. (Also, the first bits of Deadwood didn’t, either.) And though people who give good tv recommendations have recommended these, I still feel like I am being silly and forcing myself to watch something I don’t want to. Don’t kill me, BSG fans! I have a 24 hour drive, and though my goal is to exhaust myself enough that I sleep through most of it, I will still have hours of tv watchability.
What I have not done: made good playlists for my music. This means I don’t listen to half the stuff I want to, because it’s such a pain to find it.

Eh, maybe it’s just not a show that appeals to you. I think it hit it’s stride a few shows into S1 (but don’t remember show names). If you’re forcing yourself to tolerate the first bits though, I doubt it’s going to grow on you all the way.

I think I got really hooked in the latter half of S1, so try hanging in for a while.

It took me until midway through the first season before I was really hooked on BSG. So, as pi said, try hanging on for a bit longer.
I haven’t seen Deadwood, and so I don’t know whether that’s the case for it as well or what.

By the way, I apologize for that rogue apostrophe.
