1. Today was Administration Assistants Appreciation Day. How do I know this? Because I got FLOWERS from my work. BEST JOB EVER

Dude. I'm sorry, but -- I think BSG has gone downhill. A lot. And yeah, I'm not really so much in the fandom any more. Although I won't leave it totally, because, well, there's always hope...

But I'm glad you like it. I'm glad there are people who still do. I just can't.

[lyssie]

And, see, I've always thought it wasn't all that fabulous--full of crack-induced glee? Yes. The best thing since sliced bread? No.

[angualupin]

It wasn't the best thing since sliced bread. (It wasn't Firefly.) But I did used to think it was good. A very, very solid and interesting show, with an interesting conceit, good writing and enjoyable characters.

It's not that for me at all any more. The writing has lost a lot of its quality, the conceit has lost everything that made it fascinating, and the characters... Well, when I look at the show and think that the only characters whom I can still appreciate as fundementally interesting are the ones I've always hated -- Baltar and the Tighs -- there is a problem.

There's nothing wrong with you still liking it. I'm glad you can. But there's also nothing wrong with those of us who used to enjoy it and now can't see much worthwhile about it being really, really disappointed. I think we're allowed to talk about that.

We're going to have to agree to disagree, and you'll have to do what I have to do when reading every anti-S2 rant: STOP READING AND IGNORE IT.

1. I thought it was "Administrative Professionals Day", which sounds even fancier. But whatever you want to call it, happy that. :-)

2. Well, most TV is soap opera-y to some degree, but BSG has definitely moved more in that direction since it started. I pretty much have stopped watching the show, so I guess it doesn't so much matter, but I protest that it wasn't always this kind of crack and was in fact once a much better show.

1. I have no idea. My little card said Admin Assistant on it.

2. *points above* I don't think it ever was all that good, though.

[pashoshi]

I know you were always of the opinion that BSG was crack, but have some sympathy for those of us who did think it was good and are mourning its descent into suckiness? *looks pathetic* You don't have to pretend to agree, but you don't have to order us out of fandom either.

[hyari]

Aww...but that's what Lyss does! She has, in fact, ordered me out of fandom on EIGHT SEPARATE OCCASIONS (but fandom keeps pulling me back in).

Course, watching all Season 1 episodes straight through in two days doesn't make me the most objective person about the show. I still have 20 eps to watch (impatiently waiting on dvd's) and I'd hate think it gets sucky. :( Aw well, there is always the Bones gleeeeeeee.

Yay! Flowers! You totally deserve a job that thinks to give you flowers after some of the previous employers you've had.

And Sam Carter figure? Whaaa?

[lyssie]

I'll need, like, four or five of them. Then I can have one for my Crichton figure, one for a Jack, one for Kara... hrm. And maybe one for random people she should have sex with. Yes.

Flowers from any source is always good.

And I will verify for all and sundry that Battlestar Galactica has always been a space opera. Quite an enjoyable one, in fact. I am dying for October.

[lyssie]

*dances* It's made me all gleeful.

[alryssa]

Flowers from work? THAT IS AWESOME.

You deserve 'em, babe!

[lyssie]

*glees* Thank you! =)
