Oh, I really don't think that's true at all. I thought that episode was just fine - less superlative than some past episodes, but still a thousand times better than anything else on TV. And I wouldn't talk about the writers that way - I have faith that they do have a clue. What the explanation is will undoubtedly be completely unsatisfying to a lot of people, but they do know what they're doing.

I'm not sure where you're getting all this shark-jumping talk from. I think that's a little uncalled for. It's a shame that so many BSG fans are so eager to jump ship; I'm just not seeing any justification for that. Seriously. None. The show I fell in love with is still there in every single way. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I'm still down with the BSG.

Here's a question for you - What would you do differently? How would you have the next ten episodes set up, and the next season set up, in a way that's satisfying to you? Please, explain and elaborate. I am genuinely interested in seeing what you'd do if you had the power to control where the storyline went.

I was all set to meet your challenge, and lay out a detailed re-working of the BSG story that comes to a satisfying climax at the end of season 4... but then I realized that this is not something I want to be right about. I would prefer to be mistaken, I sincerely hope this upcoming season fails to suck.

It's not as if my fannish devotion, or lack therof, is going to affect the show's quality. If I'm only a lukewarm seahawks fan, does that mean the seahawks are going to not play as well?

Yeah, unfortunately my fannish devotion requires me to ask the pointed questions... sorry, it's just my thing. I hope that your wishes come true, because I really do love it.

Oh they just dosed Baltar. Now I really, really love it. :)
