DPP: Wish List & Coping

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

During the last few episodes of BSG, I was scribbling down all of my thoughts and predictions as to what might happen during the finale. Then the finale happened and I needed to find a way to accept what happened and how it ALL ended. So other than crying, talking with all of you lovely peeps; I wrote a list in the middle of the night. My version of what I’m thankful for that we got to see with pilots and what I wish we had gotten to see. This list made me more functional for the work week after the finale.

What I would like to know is what did you all do to cope with finale? Did you rewrite the end; create happy pilot gifs and icons? Did you make lists? I’m really curious about those who came into fandom after the finale.  Also, did anyone else have a wish list for pilots, things that we should have gotten to see?

Here is a link for a zip file of all the songs mentioned in yesterday's DPP: Megaupload

If this doesn't work or you want me to post it on another sight, just let me know.


**REMINDER: The revelations for the challenge from last week are due Sunday, May 16th.**
I was supposed to post this yesterday but I fail!:)

I'm with you Cosette. For me, the show went completely off the rails at the end of Maelstrom. We KNEW he was bringing her back because the show made no sense without Starbuck for Apollo and Kara for Lee, what we didn't realize was that when the show would stop making any sense at all.

When we through in humans returning from the dead, we were in deep, deep trouble and had switched from gritty realism to Lost. They turned the island, we turned the universe from dramatic story-telling to Fantasyland.

Then, in Crossroads, when the final four of five came out, we switched from a show about a tribe of humans escaping a genocidal holocaust to the all-cylons-all the time and discovered we were really watching a story about the CYLONS not the one about HUMANS we thought we were watching.

Oh, dear, I agree with you on everything, especially this:

discovered we were really watching a story about the CYLONS not the one about HUMANS we thought we were watching.

THIS. And you know what? I never cared at all about the cylons.

I'm so with you. Had this always been a show about the cylons, I don't think I'd have watched it at all past the mini-series.

Had we known it was going to turn into a cylon focus show; I think no one would have watched it.

YES to everything! The show did go from being about humanity's survival to how the cylons wanted to be human and guilt free about their actions.
