...just had a completely random thought regarding LOST™.

What if there are two different timelines as everyone's been speculating - and the cast members that Jacob touched in the end of last season are able to jump back and forth from one alternate timeline to another just like Desmond did when his mind would go back and forth through time.

Random thought, not sure what would be the point. Just thought I'd share. :P

"Dean and the angel Castiel go out drinking in an upcoming episode" Best harmless spoiler EVER. !_!

Man, once Bobby's eyes glazed over in tonight's episode I felt my heart sink and a pain in my gut like I'd just been kicked. My favorite character on my favorite show.

I really like the idea that Beaver's up for messing with his fans and stringing them along. The man puts the show first and knows that spoilers are aptly named.

I look forward to hearing this continue to be obsessed and complained about in io9's Singularity version in about 25 years.

OH WAIT NO I REALLY FRAKKING DON'T.

In reply to Was Head-Baltar Really An Angel? We Asked James Callis
I know that many people just HAVE to know exactly what things are and how they work... But I'm okay with not knowing. It would be nice to know, but I liked the rest of the story and can accept that it's a bit of a mystery. The secret to happiness with the BSG ending is agnosticism.

@Anekanta: Indeed, if you dont care about things making sense, or being well written, theres much to enjoy.
Like the music.

@twDarkflame: But they did make sense. They just didn't make literal sense. It was more metaphorical.

BSG had the potential to be the next "Star Trek"; to be the best scifi series of al time, and in seasons 1 and 2 it looked like that
then many writers left the show, there were massive arguments with the network, and it became apparent that *there truly was no "Plan" for the series*
Season 4 salvaged what it could, and most of the nightmarish problems in season 3 were fixed, save for the central one: You never actually knew what the heck you were doing or where the heck you were going, and resorted to cheap thrills and shock value....i.e. "Lets make 4 characters Cylons based on its shock value rather than its logical sense!"
The hype...oh the hype....I mean the way they constantly CONSTANTLY drummed it into us that "You will know the Truth"...WHAT TRUTH WAS THAT?!
The writers didn't know any more about what was going on than we did.
It was a mistake to ever trust Jane Espenson.

@CodenameV: Given a *whole season* though, they could have corrected s3's random make-shit-up plot a lot better.
I mean come on, they made Kara into more of a mess, not less.
Even at the eppisode before last they were still calling her the "harbinjer of death"
But no...exactly like s3 they continued with the unplanned shock-value rubbish.
("And then she finds her own body!!!!")

Mystify? Belabor? Are you sure you don't mean "piss off" and "piss off some more"? Plus: zero information/entertainment article.

I always thought that it was clear that at least the six was an "angel". So to me it makes sense that the Baltar flip was too.

If you asked the writers I bet they wouldn't know either. I got that sense a lot during seasons three and four.

@PendensProditor: Too true. Didn't Ron Moore admit that he didn't know what the scenes of Lee chasing the pigeon represented - he just thought they looked pretty. To sum up the whole thing in two words: lazy writing.
On a side note, when Callis isn't being skeezey, skanky Baltar, he's a very attractive man.

I just watched yesterday's episode. It was fantastic! (well, with the exception of Fargo's car side story, which was a bit boring)
I'm really impressed so far by the writing in this season.

How have I never noticed that Grayston/Fargo was adorable??
OH. That's right. They always put glasses on him.
