I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

BSG is a much more cheery show if you find him as hilarious as I do.
High five!
To the surprise of nobody, Rygel didn't bother me. I don't really care if I like the characters as people. Which is lucky, since I rarely do.
And, well, if I do like a character it's probably because they're screwed up in ways I can relate to.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Rygel made me laugh and laugh. I liked having him around as a (mostly) comic foil, and two of my favourite bits in all of FS runs involved Rygel: Rygel in bondage gear in Won't Get Fooled Again, and the MPREG in the miniseries, which made me laugh until I cried.
If someone made a good Rygel plush toy, I'd totally buy one.

I don't have to like the character as a person. I have to feel there's an in universe reason for him to be part of the show. And I didn't.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
The way I describe Farscape to other people is, "everything that you didn't realize was missing from Star Trek."
I think this was especially illustrated in "...Different Destinations." I remember being completely blown away by the ending, when Chrichton hears the voices of the nuns and realizes that not only were they slaughtered after all, but they they were killed while calling out his name, thinking "Star Trek would never have done that."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you know, I could not stand Baltar. My hate of the character GREW over the seasons. There is no point at which I liked the character.
I admire those of you who found him hilarious.
I hated him more than Dawn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
See, I thought Baltar was a thousand times better than the Baltar in BSG:TOS. That Baltar seemed to be one of those characters who are evil for the sake of being evil - plus they lit him from below to make him look more evil. The new Baltar at least seemed like a three-dimensional character to me. (Although the fact that he didn't change made him less three-dimensional.)
