bop_radarHonestly I should chuck tantrums with the show more often: you guys are awesome. :p
Seriously, though, I do want to thank everyone who commented on my post. I have been overwhelmed by the interesting debate it inspired and moved by the sympathetic responses it provoked. Not to mention the icons! (Thanks![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dianora2!) You guys ROCK.
I think I really need to do a follow-up post as my thinking on the episode and the overall issues has grown and been influenced by the debate. I was particularly fascinated to discover how diverse people's expectations about the end of the show are, even at this point in time.
Unfortunately I'm a little short on time this week and with the Smallville series finale looming I'm going to be (I hope) consumed by my other show. But I will get back to these thoughts. *nods*

Date: 2008-05-15 09:12 am (UTC)I actually thought we would have by now! I thought more would die in the opening battle in S4. Like someone we knew would die. Instead they're only killing very minor characters and Cally's death was a Really Big Deal. I'm surprised.
am curious to see where they will take this because there are generally no quick resolutions. It is no surprise to see many stressed humans seeking hope and solace but forgiveness takes time if it more than a superficial process.
Right!
I do wish we had a bit more focus on some of the human relationships that drew me in to bsg in the first place.
Yeah, same, every so often I get in a panic about how few eps there are left for them to return to those characters. At the moment I'm cheering myself up by remembering how much ground season 1 covered in only 12 eps. It can be done! And we have 14 left... so maybe this is just a temporary Cylon-heavy period to establish some end-game plot stuff? I can hope.
