Worse Than I Thought

I tried to watch Battlestar Galactica. I admit that it was a half-hearted attempt, but it was an attempt nonetheless. Actually, I tried a few times to watch BSG. Given that so many of my online fandom friends love it, I decided to give it a serious shot.

This has been excruciating. I have rarely been so bored in my life. I’m up to Season 1 Episode 11 and only once have I felt any investment in this show. It’s worse than watching paint dry; at least you know you’re going to get a result from the paint. This just drags on and on and on. There is one character, who happens to be a Cylon, who is so boring that any scene she appears in is poisoned. Boring on the ship; boring on Caprica; BORING!

Although Gaius is entertaining, the whole sexually-charged visions thing he has of his Cylon were played out in the first overextended scene of them getting it on, and frankly, I’m over it. Was this risqué when the show first aired? I don’t think it was 1957, so I’d say, “No.” What then, is the point of boring us with repeated “oooh” scenes? Just let it go, already! Sheesh!

I’m still watching because of some slight interest in the Kara/Lee ship. Um, gals, when does it actually begin? So far, they’ve had about 10 scenes together and I don’t see it. As a matter of fact, as of this episode, we haven’t even seen Lee in about 6 episodes, so what’s up?!?

I only wish I could watch at 3x speeds to get this over with. Oh the things we do in the name of fandom. 😮
