I'm watching BSG right now...

And I like it, I like it, although no matter how I bend my mind around it, Kara's kid looks to be a little too old. Ah well. Anyway, one thing? This show is dark. And I don't mean plotwise! I'm tilting my head all around to see what's going on, and nothing but darkness. Deep into this darkness peering, long I sit here, wondering, fearing.

Dark is cool. Dark is nice. Dark makes a great statement - but would it kill them to add some color now and again? Maybe make it slightly less dark, kinda grey instead of dark black? Grey, like moral ambiguity?

Edit: Oh dear. I hope nobody I especially like on the show ends up dead. LIKE POOR BILLY!!!!!!

Edit again: Man. If that character is the only one to make it through this, I'll be irked. It's not that I don't like that character, but... god.

Edit the third: Well, I would have thought that character was the only one, but another one showed up in the previews for the next episode, one I like more. Well, yay. What a way to ruin the frakkin' suspense, guys!

These are the days of our Battlestar. Gosh bless them and their murky shots!

The darkness is the main reason I haven't been interested in trying it. Too much is darkness these days. I liked Buck Rogers in the 25th Century for its lightness, though this too was punctuated by the darkness of nuclear holocaust.

Give me Buck, Wilma, and Twiki! Bidibidibidibidi! :)

I can understand that.

It's a great show - don't let me sound like I'm knocking it, because I'm not - but this is so far beyond dark, dark looks like it's just writing bad poetry and dressing in black.
