There's so much texture I want to talk about that it takes me forever. Still, it's a LOT easier to take in our climate at a weekly pace than it would have been at a daily one, like in the old days. As the next episode will show, it's actually become more relevant over time, not less, so it's not exactly an "escape".Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-16629566924920212932019-03-22T11:53:45.020-03:002019-03-22T11:53:45.020-03:00I'm curious why more people aren't posting...I'm curious why more people aren't posting comments on these, since BSG was such a popular request after you finished B5 (a show where your commentators couldn't shut up). I wonder if it's the messy nature of the series itself. It's not like B5 with it's "Show a flash forward in season 1 that's explained in season 3" so there's less opportunity for us to go "ahhh, forshadowing". Instead we've got messy people making mistakes and being complicated.<br /><br />To be honest, I enjoy the show but find it hard to watch. I've just got up to the boxing episode and was trying to find out whether to watch the extended version, partly hoping I didn't have to because BSG can be raw. And with all the shit going on in the world at the moment (the UK self destructing in one week!) I find given a choice between this or putting in DS9, my anxiety goes for the more hopeful choice.<br /><br />All that said, I'm glad that no-one is spoiling the series. 😀<br /><br />And on the episode itself, I do love the addressing of all the things Voyager didn't. I don't think this beats 33 for shear tension, but it's still pretty good.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.com
