Six of One...and then some...
Apr. 23rd, 2008 11:12 am Disclaimer: I have seen none of the season four episodes, nor the final few season three episodes, so most of my knowledge is gleaned from picking through other people’s journals and forum posts.
Also? This is nitpicking in the extreme. I will squee for ship's sake over the tiniest of gestures, a hand on the back, a shared glance...but I will mentally squish the witers for failing to elaborate on important developments in A/R.
I read this wonderful fic ‘Only Stars’ by ‘misscam’, and there was one line there that summed up the main reason I stick by BSG:
‘Love doesn't come without hurt, never has. It just offers an incentive to work through it…’
Truer words were never spoken. So whenever I whinge about how overly sensitive I am and how brutal BSG is on my tender heart, I think about that line and it makes me realize it’s worth it in the end, because of A/R. All I want is for the writers to respect it a little more. They’re not afraid to extract every last drop of angst and pain from it, but they need that whole ‘light-and-shade’ thing going on, you know?
