What I keep thinking is that TPTB are going to live to regret this.
I don't know if they will, it's the end of the show anyway and noone expects Caprica to have big ratings. But yes I agree a lot more people seem to come out of the closet and admit to be upset about it even in fandom, the regular viewer, idk, there are not that many left and I just can't imagine them to have high expectations after all the jumbled mess of the last eps. I find it amusing how especially David Eick always says about the ratings that the name of the show harmed it, like that explains why the ratings dropped continuously, liek all of the sudden after season two people went: "wait what's this called? I'm outraged and shall stop watching" yeah good logic there!
Katee herself feels quite disconnected from the fans, otherwise she wouldn't have said what she did, just like that, she probably focuses on herself, not that it matters, she's not the one telling the story.
About the flashbacks, I can't even enjoy them, because it's just yanking our chain. no storyline purpose whatsoever. All the quotes I've read from RDM just goes to show that he separates characters from plot, like they're two unconnected aspects of the show, he says so himself, so I guess it's no wonder he couldn't hold up the whole narrative, in conclusion a failure of storytelling, I completely agree. Apparenty I could rant on forever so I'll just stop now.
