Hi all!

In season four they were struggling to pull together story lines that it hurt the quality alot.

Yup. Exactly.

And HI DAVE!

Hey Naz!

Kind of painful that they did the same to the later part of Andromeda too. There I survived through TWO seasons of ripping it apart. So maybe it was best there were only four seasons for this.

Season four showed how little they thought things out they did. They built a cool mythology but showed they didn't know what it all meant more then we did lol. That's the lesson the show. You can do some cool things and take chances but DAMN IT you better know how it is going to play out before you do it.

I'm still trying to figure out why Kara had to die in the first place....

I'm still trying to figure out why Kara had to die in the first place.... YES. THIS.

And tbh, if they did chose to kill her off, they should've been brave about it and kept her dead and not some vague, random, angel thing with no direction. These are the times that I really admire Joss Whedon for being brave enough to kill main characters and stick with it. If you're too scared to do it, then don't! If you do, see it through!

Know what really irritates me about that? There had been an ongoing thread where Kara was afraid to face death. From AoC to Sacrifice to The Passage and they finally explained it in Maelstrom. She was despite all her stunts afraid to die, and in Daybreak 2, they apparently forget all about that. She had no fear of death, total retcon. So not only could they not explain why, they couldn't even stand by their flimsy reasoning for it.

BTW you're right. If you are killing a character then kill a character. Or if they are coming back somehow, you better plan it out in great detail, the how, what, when and why you are going to do it.
