Hey folks -
I took an interesting journey this afternoon over to the the Skiffy board (shudder). I find it interesting what people post over there. The ones that claim to be long-time BSG fans, but are so obviously starved for anything new, that even the mini looks good to them. I read posts saying how all the negativity from those that aren't happy with the current state of things are ruining it for the rest. They just want to be left alone to their "positive" opinion and are anxiously awaiting the mini just because the name "Galactica" has been slapped on it. The bit I find most funny is that they say that they want to be left alone, but do so by attacking those with "negative" opinions as they do not agree with theirs even when not written in response to a post. An odd way to be left "alone" in my eyes.
I've only really gotten neck-deep in the Galactica controversy over the last month or so and have had to do some heavy reading to try and catch up with all that's gone on in the last couple of years. It's been a real eye-opener for me just to see how far somone would go to get the mini made - a very disgusting affair indeed.
It didn't take me very long to figure out if the mini was to my liking or not - all I had to do was read the script and look at the pics to know that I would have to take the mini with a grain of salt and hope that there was a brighter future for BSG after the mini airs. The only thing is, the more background I read concerining the mini, the more it makes me appreciate TOS. *OUR* Galactica was created during a much kinder time indeed and it shows in every part of the production of TOS. It would be nice to have something new - but not at the cost of what came before it and those that love it the way I do.
I really wonder how those truly blind and uninformed folks over on the Skiffy board will feel after Dec. 7th that this isn't the Galactica they thought they were waiting for. Will they feel as cheated and dissapointed as a lot of us already do, or will they shout for more?
As I said, it takes all kinds...
