rabid1st...in a FRAKKIN' YEAR!
Seriously...as a writer...not as a shipper...let's go under the cut for the spoilers
This show SHOULD be about the relationships between the people. Not about geopolitics...not about religion...not about the CYLONS. I love the cylons...and I don't mind knowing a BIT more about them. But...they are the ENEMY...the driving force.
Over the last year...starting in season 2.5...Ron Moore and company have made this show so dark, so depressing, so uninspirational...that it became almost unwatchable. Tonight...it is riveting because it is about HUMAN emotion. And the emotion of people who LITERALLY are depending on each other for survival. Look at the light in the eyes of the actors...the vibrant emotions on their faces...THIS IS BSG!
Ron...I hope this signals you're finally...FINALLY getting the GIANT self-stimulating stick out of your ass. Because the ratings are so far in the toilet SciFi is moving the show to Sunday. And before you point to the critical acclaim please remember that the grand train of acclaim is usually about a year behind the COOL. Honestly, I don't know about the rest of the episode...maybe I will hate it. All that matters is that I'm interested in these people for the first time in a year. I would be willing to show THIS episode to someone and actually say "I'm a fan of this show...you should watch it, too."
And that means I might...I JUST MIGHT...keep watching.
