On the one hand.... quite frankly this always happens to the characters *I* prefer - that they end up on the death list. And BSG being what it currently is.... Yeah.... I will be shocked if Gaeta makes it off the Demo alive. I really will. Because he's a shocking death.
And I made my peace with that. Because I am increasingly convinced that this show ends with everyone dead.
On the other hand....
My aunt just died. My dad is going in for tests for a potentionally lifethreating thing. My cubemate and coworker is going in for prostate cancer surgery on Monday, one of my best pals online is having surgery.....
I don't need BSG to tell me that good people struggle and die unappreciated. And there lies a lot of my unhappiness with season four. I don't watch tv to see that life sucks. There's a reason the ratings have gone in the crapper and it's because the show is depressing as hell and this season is not as clever as RDM seems to think it is.
I miss liking Kara, and Lee and Bill. And Tigh. And Laura. And Chief and if I don't like them anymore.... why am I watching?
On the other hand, I do want to see how it turns out. But I feel like my chain is being yanked.
The Lee stuff just bores me because it's lather rinse repeat with Lee (and to a point with all of the plots this season - angsty Cylons and Laura dying and Kara being a bitch)
