I want to ramble.
But I don't have the time before work. *frustrated*
Short version: BSG isn't a character-driven show, it's an Issue and bad Soap Opera Plot Device-driven show with characters that are not internally consistent. (and we spend far too much time fan-wanking said inconsistencies away)
If I want issues? I will watch and episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation. At least the characters will be logically-evolved.
And, on a completely different (though related) BSG subject -
How DID Sam's people figure out that some cylons looked like humans? We're never going to know, I'm sure. It was probably a Fantastic Idea in the writing room at BSG and they never bothered to come up with a why. Something that they do a LOT on this show.
It's really kind of sad, because at one point, it was almost halfway decent.

I... would probably not be polite if Bamber ever admitted that in my hearing, because that whole subplot was so fucking stupid.
The fluffy stuff... it depends. I'm ok with stuff like the bits in LDYB and the rack scene in Taking a Break. But, in general? I'm fine with them not speaking--or doing the John and Aeryn thing where they run around, shooting Cylons. *sulks* Why don't they go around blowing shit up together anymore?
I'm probably the only person on the planet who finds UST more obnoxious and boring than RST, sadly.
And I honestly have no opinion on Mrs. Ron having avoided the msg boards like the plague, except to post random images and thank people for said images.
