Grousing about Battlestar

[cyrano]

So I was going to talk

I could have sworn that I'd read somebody talking about Ron Moore pulling another classic "What the Fuck" moment and people's heads exploding and stuff.
I'm now fairly convinced that I just dreamed that, because... wow. What a mediocre 'who cares' cliffhanger. I realize that nobody promised that the Fifth Cylon would be revealed before the break, but throw me a fuckin' bone here. If your big reveal is 'Earth is a postapocalyptic wasteland' then at least give me a half-buried Statue of Liberty or.... something. I liked the peaceful resolution of the Caprican Standoff, but pretty much the whole episode was a disappointment.
The previous episode, The Hub, at least had some semi-interesting bits about mortality and everything has an end and stuff, but there's been way too much manufactured conflict and... wasted potential.

Yes, I always add -- loudly -- "in the last episode which is when you'd expect everything to be revealed".

You should try it. It's fun and cathartic and not at all mocking.

Hm. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Since I stopped watching TV altogether about three years ago, I order shows through NetFlix. I just cannot see adding those seasons of BSG to my queue.

I just stopped caring.

I have been enjoying "Rome" though. HBO and the like seem to be producing the best shows.
