Kara Thrace was Achilles and Gaius Baltar was Aeneas.

now that it's all done i am having great lit major fun times with making all the connections.

See, really, honestly, BSG-the-remake lost me when they all landed on the planet and the Cylons invaded--and then everyone hung out for a few years. Lorne Greene would never have allowed that to happen; he would have blown the ship up first.

But this...this...utter, infected dreck they're trying to foist off on even the people who hit that point and walked away for a bit, shaking their heads--let alone the fans who stuck to the bitter (and yes, VERY bitter) end--it's just..."lamentable" doesn't go far enough.

I don't think arsenic cookies mailed to each writer on the show would go far enough.

Though I admit, much of the current ire and wishes for deathing are entirely due to SyFy channel in general.

Fucking morons.

I couldn't watch BSG -- too intense, would give me nightmares.

I watched bits of it, missed large sections when I forgot it was on, saw snippets from later episodes and basically gave up until I can sit down with a box set of DVDs.

I watched the introductory mini-series and thought it was OK. A little bit disappointed that there wasn't enough Erik Von Daniken in it.

I liked the new drama angle but at times I felt it was the show's weakness too.

I'll get around to watching it eventually.
