mousmeSo I finally got my hands on the second half of Season 4. So far my reaction is mostly WTF?
So Starbuck continues to be annoying, abrasive, and schizoid. Nothing new.
Tigh continues to be a mixed-up alcoholic with conflicting... everything.
The Chief has become a whole lot less likable.
Apollo is nigh insufferable now that he's in politics.
Adama has followed in his XO's footsteps and is not a nice drunk at all.
Roslyn is getting on my nerves. You'd think everything was about her.
I really want to high Baltar. A lot. With a crowbar.
Ellen Tigh is the Final Cylon? Really? Come on! I hate her even more now.
I wish they'd stop offing my favourite characters. Also, I wish they'd stop killing babies. At this rate, humanity will be gone inside of two generations, since there's no one else left on earth.
Helo is the only character I still like. That's probably a bad sign.
I used to enjoy the moral ambiguity of the characters on the show, but now they've all slid into the very dark grey areas of morality, almost to a man, and it's very off-putting. I like my characters to *want* to be good, at the very least. If they make crappy choices, I want it to be for the right reason. Right now they're all acting as if there are no right reasons anymore.
Hell, when Saul Tigh becomes the measuring stick for moral backbone, then you know we're in trouble.
I am in it until the end, because I want to know how they end it all, but I'm glad there aren't that many episodes left.
In short, it's even bleaker than before, and I was sure it couldn't actually get any bleaker. Turns out I was wrong.
