I'm trying to be strong when it comes to BSG spoilers. I don't want to know anything before the 16th, and more than likely even after that. I just have to make sure I avoid any comment threads in websites I'm not familiar with, as well as the Tribune's Watcher column. Mo Ryan has instituted a No Spoilers rule there, but you can never tell about the comments section.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

I'm dithering about if I want to be spoiled or not. Of course, I'm also dithering about if I want to watch the rest of BSG at all. We watched the S4 DVDs last week, and I realized that I don't really like any of the characters. The show is very well-written and compelling, but the unrelenting grimness of it all is more than a little off-putting.
(Oh, who am I kidding? I know I'll end up watching, just so I know what happens. But still! Grim and depressing = not my favorite type of stories.)

I'm not going to read that spoiler. I want them to tell me the story.
Anyway, I am still looking at clues that they are putting up.

I just finished watching Farscape all the way to the end. I'm very glad I bought them in time.
Ash, did you watch Peacekeeper Wars too?

Aw. Not even Roslin (my personal fave) and Adama? Those two and their love story is just adorable. I agree, though, that several characters I used to love are now annoying to me (Lee and Baltar, I'm looking at you).

This is very much how I feel. I appreciate the storytelling that I've seen, but I am so not in a place where I can wallow in unrelenting grimness. Even the show's palette depresses me.
I may watch it anyway, but yeah.
Ash, did you watch Peacekeeper Wars too?
Yes, just a couple of weeks ago. It's been a long time since I've been that happy with the ending of a show, for several reasons.

I don't know why the grim doesn't bother me, but I'm glad it doesn't.

This is the problem that I had with Grey's Anatomy. Except Bailey.

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

They have me as long as they have Kevin McKidd. Mmmm.
I feel just like Jilli about BSG. I like it enough to watch it, but I don't feel the love most watchers I know seem to. And I've only once made the mistake of watching more than one ep in a day. Too much. No fun.

I never liked Baltar, but it's gotten to the point that any ending that doesn't involve his being drawn and quartered will be unsatisfactory to me.
