in which I finally read the TV Tropes page for BSG, and realize why I never did

Oct 29, 2011 01:50

So, this has been on my mental to-do list for weeks. But I finally got around to reading the BSG TV Tropes page. Reading some of these things is making cry again. I'd feel really stupid and emotional if I didn't know of at least one male who has the same reactions. But not to the same characters. Here are some of my favorites:

( cut for extreme spoilers within )

gaius baltar, kara thrace, laura roslin, tv tropes, scifi, jamie bamber, battlestar galactica, kara/lee, edward james olmos, tv, religion, tricia helfer, meta, bill adama, katee sackhoff, blade runner, atheism, lee adama

Several months late to seeing this, but was going through your tags and must say I LOVE your reactions (and I am actually the one who edited the page to stick in that tidbit about Tricia being a former fashion model, though I forgot to correct the bit about the red dress - Six was wearing a skirt and jacket in that first scene ( ... )

Oh TV Tropes. I actually like to go through the individual Trope pages and find the references to whatever show I'm looking for because I feel like those are less about affirming that the show is awesome and more about being like "this is a snarky retelling of a piece of the plot ( ... )

oh, I feel you on the in-your-face religion hate. I live in a place where most people are religious and I am pretty much not, but I'm not going to get bitchface about someone going to church or temple if they're just going about their day or are religious in private and otherwise respectful of other people's beliefs.

I love Katee, but she does come off as very forthright and occasionally even a bit...abrasive? (which makes it understandable that she isn't universally lovable, though maybe it's best to keep that opinion here, lol) I think by the end, she was as fed up as anyone about what RDM did to her character, and can't really blame her for interpreting things whichever way she wanted so she could find some closure on Kara.

Is it sad that when I see something now that's like "RDM worked on this!" or "this is RDM's new pet project!" and everyone else is like "HALLELUJAH IT MUST BE AMAAAAZING!!!" I'm just side-eyeing it like mad and pretty much vowing that I'm never going to touch it? I honestly hope I never meet the man ever because he will get the skeptical bitchface from hell and possibly physical violence. BSG has made me actively mistrust everything and it's really annoying to me that I can't fully enjoy a TV show (especially a currently-airing TV show) because I won't let myself fully invest in in since I'm waiting for it to go completely nuts and not make sense anymore ( ... )
