He can be gay and just not into you, Thomas, sheesh.

Well, then there's the fact that he was only exonerated of killing his ex-wife because of a surprise confession letter she signed before dying (not the last implausible confession letter that's popped up on this show) and then a few seasons later showing that Mr. Bates has skill in forging handwriting.

It would've been more gratifying for us viewers rooting for Edith to exercise some agency and confidence, but the character of Edith, as it's been written since the beginning, is far too unsure of herself and worried about what other people think (which is why Mary continues to wield so much power over her) to ever

The bit of sweetness that Mary has with Anna just kind of infuriates me because it shows she's CAPABLE of being a good human being but that she chooses to be insufferable most of the time.

Only there's at least some drama to the Drewe farm plot since it would be very sad for the Drewes to lose it and have their own futures put into doubt when Mr. Mason is an old man with no children. The solution was a very writerly one, which is often the problem on this show.

I so desperately want the Cheers/Frasier universe to crossover with anything/everything.

Really kind of upset that half the series had Edith shuffling Marigold around. That plotline had, like, two or three episodes' worth of stories, MAYBE.

There's a scene in the finale where a character explicitly explains that everything that happened on the island is real (and that everything that happened in a "flash-sideways" alternate universe in Season 6 is actually an afterlife that characters meet up in after they die) and yet people who watched it still seem to

Confession: a friend and I used to call Bill Duke "The Black Market."

I think on the companion podcasts even Ron D. Moore admitted he probably had one or two too many scenes of Adama weeping as he embraced the Galactica's bulkhead.

Well at least Xander was able to keep his pride as the series went on…!

At least the first one was self aware about how lightweight and ridiculous the entire concept was. Never saw Full Throttle.

I agree that I'd prefer my wildly successful stars to look miserable and put-out. Makes me feel better about my lot in life~

Maybe it was all the 0s on the end of his paycheck.

Everyone else had deeper wells of goodwill to draw from to help balance out what could sometimes be a miserable and overwrought Season 4.5.

There's a lot of moving the pieces into place for the finale and checking off lists of answers that they needed to get out of the way, but there's also a lot of really effective emotional storytelling and if you aren't constantly trying to "solve" the flash sideways stuff, you can have the perspective to see it for

I get that you're being facetious, but it ticks me off when people really believe this.

Damon Lindelof did nothing wrong.

To be fair, that is one INSATIABLE child molester.

BSG is almost never any good about depicting anyone other than the main cast. Romo Lampkin is just about the closest thing to a break-out secondary character and we all know how he ends up.
