HEE! I think the middle's more like some really purple prose and a handwritten note from the author in the margin saying 'wasn't this bit AWESOME!?!!?!
Ha spot on, especially the last bit! I think you're right, maybe with some footnotes added saying "I originally planned on doing this and that, so this used to make more sense but I left it all out to write some more perverted sex scenes and pimping women out and figured the readers would know what happened off the page."
Mmm, I guess I am naive but I sort of want to believe that RDM will look back on BSG later in life and think 'we could have ended that better'
I don't know, I think he'll always have enough people sucking up to him to sustain his ego, but who knows. That whole attitude of BSG being a innovative philosophical masterpiece of television is so irritating to me, if more people just acknowledged that it's a mediocre TV series like many others, I think I'd be cooler about it. But then I remind myself that out of all my RL friends two people are aware of the shows existence and both have stopped watching after season 2, if I told any of the others that I'm really depressed about how a show called bsg was ruined for me they'd laugh in my face! (and these people are politics, sociology and philosophy students, I doubt they would consider BSG a meditation on what it means to be human, ridiculous)
I'm much calmer and detached now that I know the ending and have resigned myself to it, so I think that's one good thank coming out of Katee's comments, watching it unfold unspoiled would have been terrible. I still admire your determination to cherish the first seasons, because in my mindset right now, I've got absolutely no desire to rewatch anything, or read fanfic maybe after some time has passed.
