You find BSG well-written? I may have to rethink my opinion of you bb. :P

But seriously, ENCOURAGEMENT. SGA should be watched by all, oft and repeadly. JOIN THE GREAT SYFY REWATCH!

[popkin16]

*nod* I do, yep. Definitely not perfect, but it's pretty interesting how there are repeated themes and how they fit certain things together. And they've managed to genuinely surprise me, despite the fact that I repeatedly tell myself that pretty much anything goes.

JOIN THE GREAT SYFY REWATCH!

You should start a movement!

[aadarshinah.livejournal.com]

I do like how they manage to tie everything together, but the majority of S3 and the post-"Revelations" part of S4 disenchanted me with the series.

start a movement, huh? Hmmmm, IDK. for someone with so little to do I'm amazingly busy. granted, that's watching syfy mostly, but still...

[popkin16]

I'm three episodes away from finishing up the series :P I'm not sure if this is a series I want to buy or not - sometimes I think I'd love to own it.

LOL I'm not even sure how you'd go about starting a movement.

[aadarshinah.livejournal.com]

like you'd start a meme, I guess: Just shout loud and often enough and hope someone hears you.

the end of BSG is very... gecko. The only parts of the finale I like are those that directly relate to Sam - particularly the flashback scenes. I think you'll know which ones I mean.

Oh, and tell me what you think about Starbuck when you finish. You'll know what I mean then too.

[popkin16]

You could probably post notices to various comms too - BSG comms, Stargate ones, etc.

My heart breaks for Sam :( He's comatose unless he's plugged in ;________; I watched Daybreak Part 1 today, and Sam had a flashback about what he enjoys about his sport.

Starbuck...I have no idea what's up with Starbuck. She's dead but not? IDEK. I'm very eager to find out what the hell is going on with her :P

[aadarshinah.livejournal.com]

*pauses* I won't share my extensive feelings on Starbuck's ending until you've seen it. But Sam's flashbacks, talking about why he loves what he does, is just *brilliant* and I love them so much. Sam didn't really become a character for me until I'd seen the series all the way through.

IDK. I'm content with just posting my rewatch on my lj and letting people stumble across it. advertising it seems like too much work

[popkin16]

Sam didn't really become a character for me until I'd seen the series all the way through.

I was initially meh about him, though he did grow on me. I like him, and I think throughout the course of the show that never really changed. (Unlike my feelings for Starbuck, Lee, or Gaius - those I flip flopped on a lot.)

I'm much too lazy to advertise too :P It's why I'm a terrible LJ correspondent - I get so lazy and then don't respond to comments until days later.

I sorta fell in love with Sam's character after we found out he was one of the Final Five. Same with the Chief.

Gaius is one I hated consistently until the very, very end. He's far more sympathetic a character when I go back and watch.

[popkin16]

Ah, see - I've loved Chief from the beginning. I'm not sure why, I was just very fond of him. Sam grew on me.

Gaius...he's made me angry, and he's frustrated me, but I can't say I ever really hated him. Dislike him, maybe, certainly after New Caprica and when he and D'Anna sort of shut Caprica Six out.

Boomer, however - my dislike for her has been steadily growing. I felt so bad for her at first, but she keeps making choices that hurt characters I really like.

[aadarshinah.livejournal.com]

Oh, I liked Chief from the begining, but i didn't fall in love with his character until S3.

Boomer I've always more or less disliked, though Athena's not so bad. Little schizo, but not so bad.

Gaius... well, let's just say he reminds me too much of a politican.

(Though I must also admit to a deep and abiding want of a BSG AU wherein the Final Five know they're Cylons all along. They, to me, are one of the most interesting plotlines in the series)

[popkin16]

I finished BSG :P

It was...wow. I admit to crying a bit :P I find it interesting that Chief strangled Tory for killing his wife - they were together in another life. And it made sense to have Sam direct the ships into the sun - they wanted a clean slate, and Sam wouldn't survive in the simple life the human race was going to live. I didn't like that all the characters I loved split up - Chief going off on his own, Papa Adama living by himself, Kara is dead and Helo and Athena...they weren't living on their own, I know, but I kind of wanted all the familiar characters to stay in one area.

I do love the ending though, where it showed "modern times", and had the original All Along The Watchtower playing :P

[aadarshinah.livejournal.com]

I can't listen to "All along the watchtower" the same way now.

I like that they had Sam direct the ships into the sun too - it really was the only thing for him - but Kara having been an angel for the entire S4 just rubs me the wrong way. It seems like a cop-out way of dealing with her issues with Sam and Lee.

I'm glad you enjoyed it though
