Straight to the Gutter as always
LOL!!
How was THAT going to the gutter?
I think YOU have been spending to much time there my friend. 
I miss the show…
What show? Was there a show that we are supposed to be missing?
I guess I’m not really missing it because my body just thinks that BSG is once again on a five year hiatus between .5 seasons.
The only reason to have a girlfriend is to go straight to the gutter, duh.
I’m not always there, just most of the time
Bwhahahaa!!
I love ya Boxy.
To me, the finale was a lot like getting married - the wedding and all. All of this build-up, family alliances challenged, weeks of work put into the smallest details, wondering who would show up, what will go right or wrong, blah blah blah that by the time the “big day” finally arrives, the bride and possibly the groom is so over it they’re happy when it’s over and they can go chill, and can’t possibly live up to thier hype and expectations and mythology.
After the finale, I was just spent and happy in a way it was over because the anticipation had turned from delicious and fun to stressful and life altering (I had to finangle for days to get the night off of work). I also got in several fights with my husband during it when I would stand up and scream during critical moments. I said OMG more than a high school cheerleader.
I am looking forward to the Plan and Caprica, but not in a really intense way.
All of that is why the husband and I eloped in Vegas!
Still refuse to watch the finally??
Hmm. I hadn’t thot about it this way, but now I find it interesting…I equate my feeling about the end of BSG with my feeling about my second semester in my senior year of College. I loved College. College was rewarding and for a while it was everything. Near the close tho, I was ready to move on. I noticed some who were not in the same place and having trouble thinking about what would be coming next and raising College up to Godlike status.
I do compare experiences since to College. It was a great time that was important. However, to dwell there is to miss the point…College is a building block for the road ahead. It helps me appreciate things more and makes me understand comparatively when things don’t measure up, or at least it used to. That ruler has been put away in place of other ones now.
I am thankful for BSG and enjoyed the ride. Now that it is gone I will miss it, but I don’t long for it. I hope that something comes along that will equal it and surpass it. Until then I’ll continue down the road knowing I am the better for the experience.
A thought occured to me this weekend that reinforces what I said above. I think I miss less because it ended so well. On the other hand, I still have pangs of missing the show Carnivale which was cancelled prematurely before it was given a chance to resolve its own complex plot…
I used to love discussing the possible outcomes of plots in BSG. We all had theories and ideas and crap we thoughtmight happen. <season 4.5 I could get on a furum and argue and agree back and forth for days on end inside a thread. Once season 4 came… I just had no interest in concocting theories anymore.
Once the show was in a “answer questions” mode, I didn’t feel like wasteing my time typeing long ass posts about the show. Now I did like to comment on the show ( see the whole RoDama are tyrants era of our discussions ) but NEVER predictions. Cause everything was changeing so quickly… that I didn’t even bother. I had to quit being a nerd for a while, cause I was just wasteing a lot of time. PLUS I liked what they were comeing up with better than almost everyone else I spoke, or wrote with.
I know a lot of people hate Black Market, and the one where Helo solves the mystery. but that’s good televison as well. Those type of episodes offer MORE character development. We learn about Sageterons in tha episode, we get some Dee background. I wish ther was a LOT more of that. Now we are gonna get a buch of non-cannon novels to fill that in… and I am soooo not a fan of the “Alan Dean Fosters” of the world writeing their stories of the Cylon attack that almost wipes out the rising star.
I miss the show that I didn’t know the ansers to.
I miss season 1 pre-kobol. I wished that they had made the show go a few more seasons by putting a LOT of episodic television in there. After the new caprica arc… wait til the finale to do the eye of jupiter arc.
then next season wait for the finale to kill starbuck.
then next season bring her back at the end and do the rest as they did.
They could have made a LOT of episodes. I like that about BSG-TOS. I liked the murder on the rising star and the Starbuck’s ex is a terrorist episodes. All those episodes that explore life in the fleet withoout pushing the ongoing drama so far along are great.
