Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, is in bookstores now.

I just started watching Season One this weekend…I have trouble reconciling how their culture could have evolved so similarly to ours (since it looks like they were separated around the time of the ancient Greeks?).
It ESPECIALLY drives me nuts that Starbuck is Starbuck, because she seems so obviously named after the character of the same name in Moby Dick, but how would that work?
I do love the show so far, though, so I’m waiting for them to answer all my niggling issues with some smart reasons.
