If my cousin likes Battlestar Galactica and Game of Thrones, WEWSL?

I have her name in my family's secret santa this year and am stumped for what to get her.

I love both of those things so let me just read off a list of what pops into my mind.

  • Futurama DVD
  • Netflix Subscription
  • The Wire (I describe Game of Thrones as "The Wire set in low fantasy universe")
  • Game of Thrones book boxset!
  • BSG board game
  • Game of Thrones Board Game
  • If she has already read ASoIaF bookset (game of thrones to all you noobs out there), then get her the book Name of the Wind.
  • This sweet keychain

Keychain comment reminded me of the Personalized BSG Dogtags you can buy. (about $60 USD + shipping I would assume)

Your description of A Game of Thrones is very strange.

If he is really into the Battlestar universe he may like Caprica.

Also, try Breaking Bad.

I second the idea of Caprica. Personally I like BSG, GoT, Caprica and BrBa

Also sorry but:

I just thread the topic title and not the words.

Fair enough, just wanted to inform you and I prefaced it with a sorry since I wasn't trying to be finger pointing mean about it

It's no big deal.

I meant to say, 'I just read the topic title and not the post.' I just came here to suggest Caprica, lol.

Firefly.

Epic fantasy character-driven drama? Firefly, Farscape

Epic character-driven drama without fantasy? The Wire

Also, I hear Buffy is quite good, though I've never seen any.

Thanks dude. Added to my cart now.

I honestly have a hard time relating the "make it up as we go" format of BSG to the well crafted and brave (at least in the sense that they are willing to kill off main characters) style of Game of Thrones. If you like GOT then please seek out pretty much every other HBO series made in the past decade. The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Rome, Oz...

Yeah, I'm a big fan of GoT but never finished watching BSG. I just know that those are two shows that she likes.

I'd put Dune on that list (books for sure, and I thought that the scifi channel miniseries was fairly well done - minus cheesy effects and some so/so acting).

I love Battlestar Galactica and Game of Thrones. I also love breaking bad. Can't really imagine anyone not liking it (though it can get somewhat violent, but so can Game of Thrones). It and Game of Thrones are literally the best tv shows I've ever seen. And for BB, each season seems to get better. So - that's my recommendation.
