Well, Squeers, we've just passed the one-year "anniversary" of "Blood on the Scales". How thrilled am I that we're still so active? You guys are AWESOME!
What thoughts do you have? Have you gained any perspective on the rise and fall of our boy? What did he teach you? Have you been able to forgive any of the Special Snowflakes yet? how have you ( Read more... )

As for my own thoughts (I'm sure more will be spurred by discussion): I am still really bitter at Adama (and by extension RDM). I can see why Felix had to be executed, but they didn't make it mean anything. I don't mean Adama should have completely come to believe Felix's POV, but he could have at least shown some regret about it. The show could have had at least one damn mention of him again, you know? It felt like Felix was thrown away like Bulldog.

I have, at least, been able to rewatch the mutiny arc once. It took me about half a year to get there.

Seconded.

Wow, has it really been a year already?

I'm still torn about the whole thing. It made sense in the context of the show--in fact, no matter how hard I try I can't come up with something that makes *more* sense given everything that happened in S4--but . . . yeah. I almost wish the whole show had wrapped at that point. My brother stopped watching after BotS and I didn't try too hard to convince him otherwise.

Now, I really need to finish my fix-it . . .

You and me both. But um. Mostly you. Because you are so much closer to a real ending than me, and plus yours is just plain glorious. :)

*ducks*
Here's to hoping flattery is the best way to get the plot bunnies hopping. And while we're on the topic, might I submit that "Truth On Our Side" is a masterful piece of plotty deliciousness?

yeeees! Finish it! *breaks out pompoms*

I can't believe it's been a year! If it hadn't been for tin_o_biscuits's birthday, I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Oh! Right. Recs.

kappamaki33's Farewell Symphony springs to mind, though that may not be the best example since it's an ensemble piece. It's just a wonderful goodbye to all the characters. Of course, there are more--more than I can count actually.

trovia February 8 2010, 18:39:08 UTC

Recs are a lovely idea. I should make a rec list. I've never made a rec list before.

trovia February 8 2010, 22:45:19 UTC

And here we go.

prophetkristy February 10 2010, 01:55:58 UTC

oooooh!!

safenthecity February 8 2010, 18:44:51 UTC

Oh, god, it has been a year already? Damn ( ... )

I really really loved Carry Me Home. Cried so hard!

*blushes*
Thank you!

prophetkristy February 10 2010, 02:32:38 UTC

I know, right?!

I still feel exactly the same about the situation as I did a year ago, character-wise. And again, it's not just because of Felix, but because of the entire context surrounding the mutiny. What Those In Power did post-Earth (aka NOTHING) was entirely inexcusable.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!

And thank goodness for fic therapy.
