Laughing was what got me through 4.0 and even convinced me I could love him in a hilarious kind of way.
The funny thing is that I didn't mind him so much through 4.0 until I converted a couple of new fans and did a hell of a lot of rewatching with them. It was the mass quantities of Bill Adama that did it, I think. But I still don't have a clue why this was my last straw, but it just...was. Maybe it's that I still had some hope that the enormity of Tigh's confession might shock him out of his holding pattern, but there was the same damn speech that started all of this appearing at the end. It's just too late for that and I think the fallout is going to be ENORMOUS.
I'm also making the mistake of actually making an Adama vid.
!!!*is excited*!!!! I've probably mentioned before that I love your vids, but it bears repeating: I love your vids. And despite my waning sympathy for Bill Adama's perspective, I really love chaila43's Adama vid. Because that is very Bill to me. I also think that, like with the Baltar vid you did, where a ton of people (me included) still had some sympathy left for the guy at the end, it's also possible to view it both ways and go "Yeah, that's awful what's happened to you, but you can still be more." I've just lost my Adama zen. :(
I feel ungrateful for not having that much faith in them, but...just...there are so many directions they could take it that I wouldn't love but I think others would. *wibble*
I know there's going to be probably a ton of stuff that will make me want to throw things at the screen (I actually know one against my will, so grrr). Even though I'm nervous, because every question they answer takes away another scenario I thought would be completely awesome, I think I've found my BSG zen in place of Adama zen. Fair trade, I suppose. The cast has been so overwhelmingly enthustiastic about the last eps, that I can help but believe them when they say it'll payoff for us. It's my happy place!
And D'Anna and Ellen in ANY scene together would be an automatic win in my mind.
Gosh, food poisioning really makes me wordy apparently.
