This post is about the finale of Battlestar Galactica. Don't click if you haven't seen it, and even if you have, don't click unless you want a rant.

Don't worry, even those of us who HAVE talked the finale to death are still ragey. *g*

Anyway, I agree with all this. Jamie is just very fond of reading deep meaning into things -- must be that comp lit degree. ;) I do think, though, that when he said Kara was "his angel," that he wasn't really implying that she was his and ONLY his. It's more an acknowledgment of who she is, an angel, and that in his heart she is his. Kind of like if I were to say "He's my Lee," he's not really MY Lee, but....you know what I mean. Maybe. LOL.

But yeah, the finale is still a steaming pile of crap.

As I said to Bop, I wish Jamie and Ron and everyone else wouldn't use the term angel because I feel it's overly simplistic, but what you said, yes, I totally agree and get it. :)

I absolutely agree Jamie was very clear that he did not mean that Kara was really ONLY his angel. And good call on the part of it where he claimed her as 'his'.

My rant isn't really against Jamie, I totally see where he got that from, I'm really just railing against the whole of Season 4 that built Kara as (frak, I still find it hard to write the word) an angel. I MEAN REALLY.

I kind of figure that in the end, if that's what Jamie needs to tell himself to feel good about the finale, then that's fine, and I'm just glad he's so poetic about it that he can make fangirls swoon even while they're disagreeing with him. *g*

Dude, I hear you.

OMG, your icon! :D I missed out on all the post-finale snarky icons... I will have to dig back through your posts.

And oh yes, despite the annoyance, I was swooning.
