Day 18 - Favorite title sequence.
I love opening credits. To me, they're an integral part of the viewing experience; when we're watching TV together off DVD, Laura gets frustrated because she wants to fast-forward through them and I'm always like, "No! Credits! Love!" I don't think it's a huge surprise to say that my favorite title sequence is BSG's - besides the fact that aside from a handful of episodes at the beginning of S2, they were always different, with that little sneak-peak of the episode to come, I also loved that technically, there were two sequences - the credits proper and the Cylon Background Info that came before the previouslies; my favorite of that was S3's, because "They rebelled...they evolved" is in the right order and I love that shot of Six from Downloaded.
Unfortunately, there isn't a YouTube video of the actual credits, at least that I can find in a normal search - they're all fanmade or set to different songs or whatever, which I don't really get. You know what they are though.
Some other faves:
Great music and lovely images:
My childhood:
I love these because they're so elegant, so simple and yet there's so much packed into them (hidden clues!), and, again, the music:
And because I'm obsessed with it right now:

Day 2: A show that you wish more people were watching.
To continue with my theme of shows headed by strong female characters, I really love Olivia Dunham. She's fearless, awesome, smart; she doesn't have break-downs or emotional outbursts; she gets shit done even when it's not always the most "dramatic" or TV-conventional way of doing it. But that's not the only reason I love Fringe; it juggles stand-alones and mytharc episodes with ease, the cast has terrific chemistry, John Noble is a riot, there's actual continuity - not just plot, but character - from week to week and even season to season. Most of all, I love how pretty this show is. It's just so pretty. Good cinematography goes a long way with me. To demonstrate, here's a picspam from the last episode I watched.
Note: these aren't retouched in any way. They're not cropped; these are the exact framings. I just resized them. No color work, no light effects, no textures, nothing.
