Whoa, whoa, whoa, what happened? Just over two weeks ago I said I'd actually be around. And then I wasn't. WAT. That just happened.

ANYWAY. I'm catching up on TV stuff, I'm watching Ashes to Ashes and then like quiet_fractures some of you have pushed, I'll watch Being Human. Plus, I'm still watching my American shows.

Speaking of...

I know, it really didn't hit me how it hurt what they did with him until I thought about it, and say others' reviews. (Although, I do have to admit that I thought Lee was adorable when he talked about wanting to explore)

RDM hears things tossed around in the writing room and whatever sounded "fucking awesome" he did, apparently no matter what it was.

Yes, I'll be watching Being Human very soon! And if I like it, I hope the same thing! It seems screwing over your audience isn't just an American thing, so my fingers are crossed.

I didn't interpret the ending as anti-Lee at all - in fact, I found it as a pro-Lee. Yes, Kara and Lee did not end up together in a romantic relationship, but their connection was still present as a deep friendship that could never be broken. Kara clearly was sticking around on this new Earth purely to see Adama off and to make sure that Lee was going to be alright on his own. The journey through the series allowed him to grow up so that he would be comfortable with himself and making his own path without his father's shadow on him. Even I was proud of him.

When I saw it live, I didn't 100% like right away how they left Kara. However, she could finally rest now that she finished her mission of leading everyone to earth. There simply was no reason for her to remain there anymore. Her character isn't the kind that would be happy paired up with anyone at all in the end, so I slowly started to appreciate the ending that the writers did give her.

No, I don't really believe that's how it was meant for Lee, either. And I couldn't help my wide-ass grin when he went on about traveling, I thought he was too damn cute and happy and proud. It's just gonna rub me the wrong way for while that he has to do that alone.

But I totally get what you're saying, and I do to an extent completely agree with you!

I think the ending with Kara, it's more personal than to do with the actual story telling. I wanted something more than she "was an angel" or whatever. I think I wanted something more solid (is that a pun?). Actually, I don't know what I actually wanted in regards to Kara, so that's just rambling and after-the-fact crap, heh.
