Re: realistic - I dunno - maybe you guys get together in bars and talk about your relationships. Not me. I go to a bar to drink and not deal with my relationships.
Well, after just hearing my buddy ask his two married friends for relationship advice at the bar last friday, I'd have to disagree. Seemed somewhat realistic, though if I were Tirol I would have told Apollo to mind his own frakkin' business.
hopefully the Quadrangle of Staring is finally laid to rest.
A-greed. End it already. And really, what did ever happen to emo cutter Apollo? I love how they just dropped that whole thing. One of your top two characters is suicidal and nothing is said about it for over a season-plus. Way to keep those thru-lines, writers.
The trial may be interesting. One wonders what's up between Caprica Six and Madame President.
I think the trial could be interesting too, but too often there is buildup with no resolution in this series.
I also wonder about the torture of Baltar. Because, quite honestly, I'm beginning to think he's the most sympathetic character in the whole series. Now Adama and Roslin are becoming what Cain was. There are almost no characters that seem to have a moral code that they've held throughout the series, and that goes double for the doctor now that he's helping torture people.
Not that the psychology of the torture scene wasn't interesting. It was, but it seemed like another example of destroying plot and character continuity for some pretty visuals.
I can practically hear the ratings dropping. If I werent' so invested from watching every episode of BSG ever (both series), then I know I wouldn't be watching any more.
I actually just happened on an episode of Andromeda the other day (a show I've never really watched) and sat there at the end thinking, "Man, that's what BSG should be like."
As I've said many times, it's amazing how many dropped stories and ideas they've just discarded in this series without ever picking them up and building on them. I've also been buying some Y: The Last Man comic collections lately, and reading that whole series. Seeing how the story builds and comes back to ideas and people that were introduced early on in ways we never would guess. Why can't BSG do that? Does the corporate grind of producing TV preclude it? Or did they never really have a story to tell? |
