I'm finally starting to get my notes together to post some meaningful discussion topics, but the last few weeks have been a bit nutty so I had delayed the discussions. I'm starting with a relatively easy one tonight and hope to post some more interesting topics down the line so bear with me ( Read more... )

I agree for the most part. I loved it as well. So I will list my favorite and least favorite things about 4.0 ( ... )

definitely don't read this if you haven't seen Season 4 egeria61 July 14 2008, 04:52:28 UTC

*obligatory spoiler warning*

I was really happy that they got to earth, and still have half a season to explore it. I especially love the character development of Laura Roslin going on throughout these season 4 episodes (and yeah, The Road Less Traveled was not very good, partly because the plot overshadowed Starbuck's character development stagnation). I'm sympathetic to Lee, though I liked him best at the end of season 3 (hey, he gives good speeches)! *waves* It's been a while since I've written to you. Hope you're surviving the hiatus. :D

I was REALLY surprised they brought up Earth at the midway point. I honestly expected them to hold off for another five episodes. But this? This I am definitely pleased with. More potential for new things happening now that they are back on land again.

Hee, I am doing what I can! :D

oh, where and how do i start? :) i loved it. i just loved it. surprising as this might sound, i am still in my honeymoon period with this show, i still love everything it throws at me. i suppose i just try and take it in as it is, instead of wanting it to go my way.

laura got to me most. laura and her story, laura and her strength, laura and her humanity. also, tigh. their respective stories fascinate me. i don't know, i don't think i can exactly talk about everything that impressed me, there were too many things i loved, from the music to the story and characters.

what i want for the next 10 episodes? well, can't say i have any expectations. the only thing i really hope for is that bill treats laura right now that she's finally opened up to him. he tends to get swallowed up in his own grief and pain and i'd rather wish he'd put off being emo and be there for her. he'll have enough time to be emo after she's gone.

You're right. I think when I finally gave up the idea of how I wanted the show to go and instead just let it be, I wound up being happier with the quality of the episodes. Maybe that's why people rant and bitch about how the show has "jumped the shark" and has progressively failed this season - it didn't go the way they wanted? Something to think about.

hehe, I know what you mean. I should have mostly talked about the things I didn't like because there were very, very few things. And even then, I'm learning to get over them.

some fans are like those kids who try to fit the square peg in the round hole. for a while it's fun banging on the thing, but after a while it gets frustrating. and it's counterproductive. actually, i am convinced personal happiness also stems from people's ability to accept life, people, and tv shows for what they are instead of trying to force their own personal ideals/ideas/wishes upon them. oh well, its early, and i feel philosophical. :)

sorry your AC failed, btw. never had an AC, always braved summer - and it can go over 100 degrees here - AC-less. either way, hope it gets fixed soon. :)

Actually I'm dissappointed by the season. Too much politics. I hope they cut it down and focus more on the people (I want KaraLee!!).

starbuck92 July 17 2008, 02:14:37 UTC

lol, I've kinda always wondered if you and I were watching the same show because we see it so differently.

jr_moon July 18 2008, 16:49:33 UTC

*lol* That's okay, I think. Because it is still so much better than your averadge show. But I want more of the people, guess it's RL reflecting on my viewing habits. *g*

I loved this season! Every episode (TRLT aside) got better and better. The depth of the story gving the actors a chance to just go fot it, and they didn't disappoint! And ofc, anything with Mary doing comedy is automatically win ( ... )

starbuck92 July 17 2008, 02:17:53 UTC

Regular Kara wins over Krazy Kara, methinks. :D

I think she's always recognized that Lee would make a perfect choice for the presidency. Maybe that's why she always sought his advice in the first season - because she was testing him or something. I dunno. I just remember reading that interview that Mary gave whereupon she said that Laura has always had an eye on Lee to see if he would be adequate to be the next president since he had the background of a military man and now has some diplomatic experience under his belt. I've liked his growth (and his falls) as a character.

Gah! I knew I forgot to mention someone! Natalie. I wish she'd been given more to do, especially after all the hubbub before the season began.
