Gettin' down with Epic Narrative
A cool nonspoilery LAT article on BSG contained this wonderful quote at the end by Jamie:
"This is an epic show. This is more like 'The Iliad'; there are elements of epic poetry, Greek mythology, certainly, and the Bible. The issues are deep, and the stakes are high. You can't just serve onion rings at the end."
Cue the off the charts fangirling! BSG is epic! Oh, how I often compare it to the Aeneid or the Odyssey in my head...
But er, there will be no scrapbook homage sent to JB or anything.
I’m obsessive, but I do get out. ;)
