Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
To be fair, Rygel was useful to the writers. If you needed a morally-dubious action to drive the plot along, Rygel was good for that, without being so powerful as to pose a great risk to most of the rest of the cast (like Jayne). Also, he was a better conniver than any of the rest of them, even Chiana.
And then you have episodes like "Crackers Don't Matter", where you end up actually feeling a little sorry for Rygel.
Baltar was, like, my favorite character!
Aw, I feel bad for the Baltar-haters. BSG is a much more cheery show if you find him as hilarious as I do.
I will keep that in mind!! I really try not to hate characters in any show, because my general assumption is that even if they are annoying/hateful/whatever, they are that way because they were written to be that way, and serve a purpose... so. I will try.
On an unrelated note, I meant to mention the other day that I was really happy to figure out that this thread title comes from Torchwood. I was like "Hey! That's the sci-fi thread name!"
I am easily entertained.
To be fair, Rygel was useful to the writers
Ah, see, I hate that. Meta reasons for someone to be around that I don't think are supported in universe--sits badly with me. Spike was more useful than Rygel.
Okay, that's stretching things. But he really shattered my suspension of disbelief.
But he really shattered my suspension of disbelief.
I can see that. Whereas Baltar shattered mine, and yet there are plenty of people who really enjoyed the character.
I hated the whole concept* of imaginary (or whatever) Six more than I hated Baltar.
She was, like, my other favorite character!
I do not get the appeal.
MOAR FOR ME!!
What episodes were they?
they're replaying all of this season's eps in order. so last night was 2x01 and 2x02. i'm really still miffed that Mason is gone from my tv screen.
Baltar was, like, my favorite character!
there's something wrong with you.
of course, i really started to just watch BSG out of OCD (obsessive completion disorder). i didn't love it nearly as much after the first season or two.
Nor did I.
I do not get the appeal.
I watch it, and I don't get the appeal. It fills a slot for me, kills time, and gives me something to IM with Perkins about. But I'd never recommend it to anyone as anything other than a quick way to spend an hour. The time flies.
