Yes you did say you thought the first season was great, and then I pointed out that the first season had every single thing you complain about the show in. So either you didn’t notice, or you didn’t actually think it was great. Then we get to the silliness of why are you checking in on a show you don’t like anymore? You don’t like it, why not walk away. OK I understand you used to like it (though why I don’t know since everything you think is wrong with the show now was in the show from the first minutes of the mini-series), but then it “changed” (even though it didn’t) and you don’t like it anymore. But why “check” on a show you don’t like?

Funny you accuse me of considering myself mind reader and you’re here to save us “misguided people”, talk about thinking you’re a mind reader. the only moonbat here is the guy that thinks he’s saving others from moonbattiness. You’re adding way too much ego to not liking a show.

It’s just a show. A damn good one. Maybe too dark for some people, maybe too addicted to tough moral questions for some people, but that’s OK, there are happy shows out there that ask no moral questions. You should go watch those. You can’t “save” anybody because frankly you’re the misguided one thinking there’s something in the show that’s not there, that’s never been there, that only exists between your ears.

Wow. I seem to remember we were having a discussion about Battlestar Galactica, and how it was a gay show, but you seem to be making this all about me suddenly. In fact, you seem a little obsessed with me. I think you might have a crush on me. Was it my wit, or my raw animal magnetism that did it?

I think anyone who takes criticism of a TV show personally, to the point where their delusions of telepathy have given them an entire fantasy world where they know the inner thoughts of total strangers, should reconsider her life (given the nature of your obsession with me, I'm praying that you're a woman).

So, to sum up, the new Battlestar Galactica sucks, the hippies that write for it suck, and you are a candidate for a good mental health screening.

No you made it about you: Also, I believe I explained to you that I thought the first season was great. That season got me hooked. It took almost two full seasons of pure trash before I finally decided that it was going to continue sucking from here on out and was never going to go back to being a good show. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, however, I am able to check in on any episode I want now and then just to see where they've gone with the show, without having to tune in on the date and time that they air. The funny part is that I can skip 10 episodes and still not be lost, because, generally speaking, nothing ever really happens. Oh sure, there's a lot of "Days of Our Lives" melodrama that goes on, but very little to move the whole of the story forward. Here's the punchline about the supposed "leftist" stuff in entertainment and whether or not such entertainment should be fled from at high speed: Patton. Now if you're a film buff that's all you need. But I'll assume for the sake of clarity that you're not. Patton is a leftist anti-war movie, anti-Viet Nam war in specific ant-war in general. And this isn't my interpretation, this comes straight from the mouths of the producers, writers, director and even some of the stars of the movie. It is leftist propaganda. Of course it also is one of the greatest war movies, greatest movies period, ever made, and 30 plus years later conservatives love it and liberals hate it. So then the question is why. It does not fail as an anti-war movie, it does a very good job of showing the horrors of war and nobody comes out of the movie wanting more wars. The movie doesn't really fail at anything. The makers forgot something important: nobody sane is pro-war. Nobody likes war, conservatives realize some wars need to be fought but we don't actually like it. So in making a no holds barred anti-war movie they made a non-flinching excellent war movie. You see sometime leftist propaganda just can't survive in the face of high quality entertainment. So even if you're right about BSG, which you're not but we'll pretend, I and other viewers don't give a damn. It's an entertaining show, it has strong drama, and a lot of that strong drama comes from things you object to. In my book moral clarity makes for shallow boring drama, making the characters figure out right and wrong is more interesting than having it be painfully obvious. If you don't like it that's fine, but stop trying to save me and the other fans, we're big kids.
