Why isn't Tessa in jail ?
And do I need to whitefont Season 2?
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Season 2's good to talk about in blackfont, since 3 has started.

Font away. Because after reading the synopses on the site (thanks ita for random coments that made me curious), if I ever get to the rental store (or *gasp* do netflix) this is a series I'd watch. Even being spoiled.
I will never work at a polar research station. I knew this ever since I saw my first horror movie set at one, but I just thought I'd reiterate.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm catching up on my Tivoed stuff, and I'm about 45 minutes into the Battlestar Galactica miniseries.
Does it get better? Enough better to be worth my while? Because right now I'm just not caring too much about the people, and the heavyhanded 9/11 motifs are annoying me.
But I've been having trouble starting new stories in any form lately. I watch three episodes of a show and decide it's just not worth bothering, or read a new book and decide two chapters in that I don't care, unless it's part of a series I already know and love. And I can't tell if I'm watching/reading the wrong stories, or I'm getting too picky.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I find it to be worth while. I'm not in love with many of the characters, but I'm very fond of the tone they've managed to hit in their post-apocalyptic-ness, and the rest is growing on me. But I can easily see it being not your thing.
I don't recall where 45 minutes in falls in the story.

The miniseries didn't do much for me, Susan, but I do like the continuing series.

They've just figured out the Cylons are attacking.
Maybe I'll give it another half hour or so next time I'm in front of the TV. But interesting characters, at least some of whom I'm rooting for, are the make-or-break for me.
Damn, I miss the Jossverse.

Is it possible to understand the series without having seen the miniseries?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pretty much. But there are some storylines that are set up in the miniseries that continue in the series.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, have fun, Consuela!
When I get my rent bill, it says they have to get it by the 5th, but my lease says I don't actually get charged a fine until the 10th. Which is nice.
