BAH!!

I'm so breaking up with Battlestar, probably for good. Figures this would be one of the better eps of the season, too.

If they bring Starbuck back, I might think about watching it again, but otherwise, I think I'm set. Battlestar needs Starbuck like the X-Files needed Mulder. Apollo has been verging on whiny and maudlin all season. His character growth has been completely stunted with Dee, kind of like how Starbuck's was stymied with Stupid!Anders.

I'm still sort of confused on what exactly Kara's destiny was. Was going out in a blaze of glory it? Not being afraid anymore? There's not way they could parley her into being the Dying Leader, since she didn't point them at all towards Earth. And Leoben wasn't really Leoben? Ugh.

Steven was suggesting that Lee might end up striking a deal with Caprica Six to find Kara, in a twist on the whole Hand of God thing from the original series. I'm hoping that they'll do that, but I'm wondering if the writers will do that or they think they're being all clever with killing off a main character. Yes, I realize good people die in war all the time, but this is television, not real life. Some of us like a little fantasy.

So yea, probably breaking up with Battlestar like I broke up with the X-Files. And now, my cranky ass is going to bed so I can get up at 6am.

No one ever actually leaves X Files. Not for good. You'll be back. You'll come crawling back to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFox

This is true. Mulder did come crawling back in the end. Plus, look how his career has gone now that he scorned the Might Fox Network.
