December Talking Meme, 12/7
So....it looks like this may morph into the December-January Talking Meme, because I'm taking way too many interesting prompts to want to turn any of them down. If yours is late, it hasn't been forgotten

Because while I was at least somewhat predisposed towards the angels (or Cas at least - my sister being who she is), I was completedly caught by surprise with how quickly I grabbed a hold of them and their plot-line/storyline and went: "oh bbs, WHY?" in a way that I almost never did with the Cylons (though BOOMER, FOREVER MY BB AND FAVORITE! - thanks to "Downloaded" being one of the 1st episodes I ever saw, and even without any context whatsoever, I FELT for her so much - especially in knowing that the one "friend" she had made was at LEAST partially manipulating her for her own means, which you know, just meant I was more horrified because they were so human-like to me by the time I finally started from the beginning and WATCHED WHAT THEY DID FOR THEIR "ONE TRUE GOD"). But I think you parse things out nicely?
I feel like every time BSG tried to force the morality of accepting the other as same as ourselves, it just reminded me constantly - each time, HOW TRAUMATIZED I would be remembering that first apocalyptic genocide over and over again? But, yes, LOL, the Colonials totally should be accepting them as brothers and sisters with open arms - because they are basically LIKE you. They just made a "mistake". Look! They can choose to be different. Look, they can love! - "Uhm... Yes....? So they chose to kill all of us? And some of them are STILL choosing to come after us and kill us all, and your point is?" *crickets chirping*
Needless to say though, my love for BSG overall (if simply for the character-work it managed to do - and for the fact that Laura Roslin exists for that show) is overwhelming still. Flaws and all. :)
Also, this is a pretty good stab at reminding me of exactly WHY I really need to catch up with Supernatural, because ANGELS MYTHARCS!

ahahaha, EXACTLY.

Yeah, I mean, I can only have the problems I do because the show had a wonderfully organic touch for reproducing how people and groups work. But reproducing isn't always entirely the same thing as understanding or correctly evaluating.

I hope I'm not pushing expectations to an unrealistic level when I say I think you'll really like S8+. You can probably afford to skip around S6-7, if you want the thumbnail summary...?

♥ But definitely no disappointment from me, and now... I need to head to bed for sleep. *so tired*
