BSG is just getting painful to watch; I'm not even sure I enjoy it anymore, but I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
I agree entirely! It's definitely not comfortable television, it's chaotic and jarring. And brilliant. I can't wait to see what happens, but I don't want it to end.
And if they were put on Earth right after the first cylon war then they were there for, what, forty years? And didn't age? And didn't notice?
I think he said he released them over time into the human population, explaining their different ages. Though how Saul actually faught in the first war I do not know. Cavill has mad forward planning skillz, apparently. Mad enough that I really have to stretch my credulity at that one.
I think Saul fighting in the war was just part of his programming. After all, he didn't meet Bill until after the war and they initially bonded about being in it.
I think maybe I want it to end! JUST SO THE PAIN WILL STOP. I've enjoyed the ride and I want to know where they're going to go, but I really don't think they *can* draw it out much longer - though I'll miss it when it's gone.
Yeah, the timeline is wonky. I guess at this point we just go with it.
It's going to have all that Joss stuff, some of which is annoying since he does it over and over again, but it isn't going to be bad.
I'm not even in the fandom and I saw that much. I kept quipping, "Oh, look, a HANDLER. It's her watcher, Garren, he's Giles!" and "Fred is playing Fred again!"
I enjoyed Dollhouse, but I was trying to manage my expectations since I knew that this was not the pilot that Joss wanted. Still, I like the premise, even if it does squick me a bit at times and I thought Eliza did a good job with each role.
As for feeling sympathy for her character, to some extent I already do. Just knowing that she's going through this, even if it is all wiped, makes me feel for her. I thought her Handler really brought that home for me during the episode so I don't think that's going to be a problem for me going forward. It will be good to know who she really is underneath all of that, though.
I'll keep tuning in. I don't think it's going to be BtVS or Ats for me, but it's Joss so I'm sticking with it.
The premise is totally squicky, but I think they know that, so I'm waiting to see where they go with it. Joss is not the feminist role model he wishes he was, but he's still better than most and I think I trust him to handle it. *knocks on wood*
Maybe that sympathy is what they're hoping for? I'm thinking we are going to get glimpses of her previous life and maybe see the way that life bleeds into her current "engagements."
It's possible nothing will ever be AtS for me again. NFA may have scarred me for life, so it's possible that's a good thing.
Re King Cake - you live in DC, Yes? Try the Watergate Pastry in the Watergate complex. They might have it, or know someone who does.
I like Dollhouse as it looks to be good trash tv. I don't think I'll be able to LOVE it the way I did BtVS - but those days of fannishness might be over for me. Plus, no Spike....

I thought this week's BSG was way too much telling and not enough showing. Which, for a show, is never a good thing. No wonder it was hard to follow.

There was entirely too much exposition, but I'm pretty sure that at this point I need them to show me diagrams and flow charts.

Hee . . . those days of fannishness aren't over for me, but I'm still not sure anything will ever be quite what the Buffyverse was for me.
