Caught up on BSG. Now what?

Nov 21, 2008 13:39

I finally got around to watching the first half of season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. Seeing how the new eppies aren't starting until mid-January, I need a little something to tide me over until then. Do any of you know of any good post-4x10 BSG fanfic out there?

It's not in the time frame you're looking for, but I found it well written.

I have a question for you about your reaction to the half-season. Watching it all in one shot as I assume you did (or at least very closely grouped together) did it seem to you like nothing happened for long stretches of time?

Cause it seemed that way for me, but I watched each episode as it was released, and it felt like some stuff happened in episode one and some stuff happened in episode ten, with the other eight episodes dragging on forever with very little happening.

But I wonder if that's just what happens when you watch a show like that weekly. Of course, I kind of felt the same way about a lot of season three, and I watched most of that on DVD...

I watched the first episode back when it came out, and then watched the other 9 episodes over the last two nights. What I noticed wasn't the lack of things going on, but rather the lack of the non-essential episode. What I mean is that in most TV seasons, they don't do all arc, because that would be hard to keep up for 20 or 22 episodes. So, they have to throw in a few episodes that do nothing to advance the season arc, but are hopefully still interesting episodes. It seemed to me that each episode was an arc episode, with something going on each time ( ... )
