    Wait, well then what are you saying?

    I was there when it happened. One week before it aired, on his blog (back when he updated it...he just stopped doing blog Q&A updates in Season 3 onwards...this was a sign...) one wee before, he had this post in which he was apologizing and complaining about goals unfulfilled and how sorry he was; then in the podcast

    (I'm *sarcastically* acting indignant about the slash fanfiction, but honestly I don't really mind. It's a joke.)

    ....they're brothers, you know. Unless you're into that kind of Supernatural thing.

    Actually, even Ron himself disowned Black Market before it even aired. And we loved him for it. That's back when he was being honest and acknowledging his own failures...the shift in Season 3 was that we went from "Mr. Transparency", the hero of Star Trek who refused to lie to fans and say Voyager was good....to

    ...THAT is your excuse? The ultimate fallback of "well, everyone is entitled to their opinion?"....I raised *specific* structural criticisms of specific things that happened during the show's run....and rather than address any of them point by point, you're dodging the issue by waving your hand and saying, "well

    ...I don't see why machines shouldn't have a concept of religion. Any intelligence self-aware enough to comprehend its own death, and contemplate the meaning of it, has claim to sentience and "religion". The problem is more that they very early on very clearly established that "the humanoid Cylons are so realistic

    The *general idea* of some of the basic plot elements made sense: the Cylons wanted to wipe out the humans (in the miniseries, at least, before Ron retconned it to hell and back) because of revenge, and because they felt they could never take their place in the stars as "real" unless they killed their "parents" — the

    Yes, there is broad consensus among many fans and critics about "the ending"...which wasn't really "the final episode" so much as "we thought the final episode would somehow retroactively redeem the final two wacky seasons, and it didn't". It's a matter of selection bias: people who stopped caring about BSG stopped

    Bees...my god...

    I realize the show is trying to set up some sort of moral dilemma here, but I simply see none. The Guilty Remnant are an abusive, provocative cult, who in any sane environment would be tried for numerous harassment laws; they are literally stalking people. They brainwash new members. I see nothing wrong with

    Only twice, and years ago. It just bothered me after the movie that "wait, they never actually explained what happened to the titular car - was that a sequel hook?"

    Battlestar Galactica (re-imagined)

    Actually, they never found the car. They were actually more concerned about finding the gifts for their girlfriends that they left in the car, but when the ostrich rancher who bought the car (at a police auction) decided to let them take it back, the car had *mysteriously disappeared* from his car hole. They openly

    A Jets fan I was born, a Jets fan I was raised, and a Jets fan I shall die.

    I'm probably wrong on this, but I love that the episode never 100%, utterly confirmed that "Robin Hood" was not actually a robot. And on top of this - again, probably wrong - "Maid Marian" showing up at the end only highlighted this: did the Doctor figure out that "Robin Hood" was really a robot...but he realized

    Action figure.

    "Why? Why was I programmed to feel PAIN?!"

    I am an Administrator from the Game of Thrones Wiki: no, they weren't "good" at creating new storylines for characters; such filler arcs were poorly received. If we're talking the Arya and Tyrion filler scenes in Season 2, even the writers later admitted they should have just let the characters lie fallow for an
