I don't think any of us went into BSG with illusions but I did think if anyone deserved a happy ending it was our ship. *pouts* I hoped, but I suppose I didn't really expect it. *sighs*
I was just reading this article that makes me sadder at what could've been (http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2009/03/battlestar_galactica_ronald_d.html):
We did talk, for a long time, that Adama and Laura were going to get in a Raptor together and fly off into the stars, and Adama was going to show her the universe, and that would be the last we see of them.
That would've been my perfect ending. Knowing she was dying but not having to see it, being able to believe they were out there in the stars, spending their last days with each other... *wibbles* WHY, WRITERS, WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THIS?!
It feels so much more real than a lot of shows, despite the setting.
Heh, I got Ma to watch the miniseries with me. She's against the X-files-ish MOTW or Star Trek 'garden variety alien' type sci-fi, but she's into like, Fringe and stuff, where it's more about technology and 'plausible' sci-fi so I bullied her into seeing the miniseries and she really enjoyed it because it was so real and she could see it happening, and there were all those parallels with the world today and social commentary.
That said, I don't care how much the critics love it or how worthy and noble and incisive and relevant it is, I'm never NEVER getting into another show this soul-crushing. Ugh. You know what's depressing? When I was going through my emo cutting phase, I cut her name onto my leg and now when I see it, it's kind of a shock and I get so sad because it suddenly reminds me of the show and her dying. *bites lip* I'm not getting choked up, I'm not.
