bsg finale, g'night

[jaina]

Do Lee and Dad remind anyone else of Sydney and Jack? "You were a bad father and emotionally distant and I hate you! Oh no wait, you're awesome, I love you. No, changed my mind, hate you again! Oh, sorry, my bad, I actually love you. *hug* ONOEZ you have betrayed me, I hate you!" I mean really, guys, it starts to lose meaning after awhile, you know? At least Lee doesn't cry at the end of every episode. Yet.

Meh. I am distinctly underwhelmed. Of course Baltar was going to be found not guilty. Of course Kara was going to come back. I was unspoiled, but none of these were surprises. It's television, after all. And, er, the almost-final four? I'm not convinced. If Tigh wasn't among them, I'd be slightly more convinced, but-- no.

Also, what the hell is up with having them *actually speak* the lyrics to a freaking Jimi Hendrix song? The level of WTF on that was so high that it threw me completely out of the world of the show. Having it as background music would've been fine, even having it be the weird cylon music they were hearing, but speaking the lyrics, like in a bad songfic? Nuh-uh.

Ugh, it's midnight. Don't wanna get up tomorrow morning.

I've just been thoroughly confused since Maelstrom (?) (the one where Kara 'dies'. That threw me for a loop.

This whole Lee / Bill drama excessive, if not unexpected. After all, they never really got along. I agree that the whole lawyer thing was a bit of a stretch.

The Hendrix was interesting. Maybe it finally made it out that far into space ;)

The whole "a crew member is really a cylon sleeper agent" thing is a bit silly. It's over done. Boomer, Xena (which ever number Lucy Lawless was), all the guys. *yawn* Tigh? Nah. He's a grumpy, cranky, old fart that is impossible to feel for. Give me a shocker. Like Bill being a cylon. I wouldn't be particularly surprised if Laura was a cylon. And with Kara dying and coming back, that wouldn't be particularly surprising (it would be surprising if she wasn't a cylon though).

The Baltar verdict wasn't a surprise (it wouldn't have been a surprise either way), but it did give Lee a nice little moment there (*whine* *whine* We're not a civilization, we're A GANG *whine* *whine*).

Overall, meh.

No. The thing that gets me is that I have to wait until fracking 2008 to see the next season. That's ohmygod obnoxious. Though I suppose it gives the BSG writing team a chance to bone up on Lost and meet with Damon to figure out more ways to screw with us.

I agree that the whole lawyer thing was a bit of a stretch

"Oh yes, and randomly out of nowhere, I always admired my grandfather who was a lawyer and my father just presciently happened to have his Law Books and his Papers here on the ship" and what the HELL? That was some hella lazy writing.

Give me a shocker. Like Bill being a cylon.

That reminds me of first season: "If I'm a Cylon, then you're really screwed." Ah, Mom and Dad.

I really hope Kara's not the final Cylon. It's so damn obvious that I feel like she can't be, but then-- I've been wrong like that before, sadly.

SciFi are idiots about scheduling. They're *finally* going to start the second half of Atlantis season 4, after the entire thing has already aired in Canada, and anyone who cares enough (ie, not me) has downloaded it all. Well hey, maybe by next year I'll have forgotten how annoyed this show can make me, and I'll be all fuzzy and nostalgic and ready to welcome it back.
