I'm one of 'those' fans.

This is the post I've been meaning to make for a really long time. It's confession time. I have had it with Battlestar. I will be watching the rest of Season 4 because I'm a completionist and part of me needs to know just how fully and completely they massacre the show I once loved. But I may not be the chirpiest little fangirl on your f'list this ( Read more... )

Yup, I think if I hadn't felt a responsibility to meta every week the same would have happened to me. I definitely hit the 'I don't even care' wall at some stage in 4.0 and then when I did look more closely at the eps nothing hung together. Like 'Revelations'! I remember being genuinely amazed by it on first watch because of all the fast drama and reveals. On second watch? It doesn't make sense at ALLL. It's cliched, poorly paced, and a real stretch and raises heaps of issues for the overall plotting and characterization. Sigh.

I honestly don't care who the final one is.
I KNOW, RIGHT?! I had to say this almost more than anyone else. I could not be more bored by the whole question. I feel like TPTB think this is still a big deal to us: it's not. Guess what? I've thought long and hard about what it will mean if Bill is the Final Cylon (Lame). I've thought long and hard about it being Roslin (somewhat less lame). I've thought long and hard about it being Kara (too obvious) and Lee (annoying but possible), and every other character that has crossed our screen including the frigging animals.

already gone through characters we like (and Anders) becoming Cylons and it won't bother me to find out one more is
Hahaha, I love how Anders is in parantheses. *smirk* Yeah, that's the other thing that makes me not care--I feel like we've 'been there done that' and it wasn't that great. I mean we got to see some pretty horrible and tragic impacts of it on The Chief and his life, but I expected a lot more exploration of what it did to the Tigh-Adama friendship and that only came out really late. Instead we got Tigh screwing Caprica which was so WT? I can't even think about it without laughing. Tory got a bit more time but I still feel her proximity to the President was underused. And as for Anders, well any expectation that Kara would find it in any way an issue that her husband was a Cylon was destined to be disappointed. So if the fallout about the Final Cylon follows the similar blah pattern, I think it will be the most tedious and yawn-enducing part of Season 4.
