Braiiiiinssss!!!

I blame Canada. No seriously, I do. Heroes is airing on Sundays rather than Mondays north of the border, which means I end up getting my fix a day early, which means, therefore, that I am a day early hitting that agonizing point when I realize that this is the last episode for five weeks. It's going to be really awful when we hit the end of the

Am still saving my Heroes for Mondays, since I have The Dresden Files and BSG to keep me busy Sundays.

But:

Malcolm McDowell as the mysterious Linderman

I approve of this ::bounces in anticipation::

Also, re "Maelstrom":

I seem to be in the vast minority of people-- well, along with you and deconcentrate-- who are not freaked out by the ending of this ep. The rest of the BSG-watching portion of my flist seem to generally agree that the episode was good "until the ending."

::eyeshift:: um, what?

I blame this partly on the fact that I had heard about it weeks ago and therefore wasn't surprised, and partly on the fact that I'm in the other vast minority of Kara/Leoben shippers and therefore was more focused on their interaction than on the OMG SHOCKER ENDING WHUT.

In conclusion: organized fandom is a scary place. Be glad you're not in it.

I'm watching BSG right now. What are you alluding to? Is this a possible jumping of the shark episode?

[wyldemusick]

It could be a shark jumper in some folks' opinion, but what I was alluding to was the ending, with Starbuck being pretty definitively killed off. That's got some folks' knickers all twisted and tangled, and there's all kinds of hilarious pronouncements going on at the moment, including "Ronald D. Moore is dead to me!"

I mean...yeesh.

[asifallforever]

I thought that at first. Well actually most of the day at work. Then i thought that it is pretty realistic and completely reasonable that a main character could die off. Well i guess the way the chose to go about it that was dumb. But i have seen worse. Somehow i suspect that she is going to have been magically teleported somewhere else and will show up later.

[wyldemusick]

If the spoilers I'm hearing are correct, she's backj with a way to Earth in hand right after four of the final five Cylons are revealed.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE LAST ONE FOR FIVE WEEKS UNTIL YOU JUST TOLD ME.

Damn you, Canadia. Damn you to hell.

P.S. TV shows ARE real life. stfu. ::pets her Whedonverse::

[wyldemusick]

Actually, it's April 23rd that's the due date for the next episode, and then it's five and done for the season. The 23rd episode, though, is two hours long the last I heard.

As for the Whedonverse...well, I imagine you're going to be after the Buffy Season 8 comics, and the new 2-disc edition of Serenity.

[wyldemusick]

They've been playing a weird kind of game in that regard...one that Katee Sackhoff appears to be part of. However, screeners for the final episodes were sent out, so you can bet that any "surprise" reappearance will be spiled well ahead of time (and has been, starting with the Chicago Tribune putting "death" in quotes when talking about Starbuck's apparent demise.)

Ronald D. Moore did his best to make it sound as though Starbuck's done and dusted for sure, though, in the latest podcast, and also stated flat out that they came up witht eh idea of killing Starbuck off during a writer's meeting, with the full knowledge (and some intent) that fans would be pissed off.

The fourth season is going to be quite interesting, i think. And very likely the last season, if I'm reading Moore's comments right -- he's seeing the third act of the overall story starting now.
