No no, I know where you're coming from. You're right, but you didn't answer my question. Does the show actually get a little funny or anything? You have to understand, I'm not looking for mind blowing drama, I was hoping that eventually it had some more realistic moments, not straight unrelenting drama.

GOTCHA. Did it? Well, actually, yes (sorry, thinking out loud). There was some really fantastic stuff with Baltar being all awkward and naked on a Cylon basestar. Season 3 was lighter than seasons 1 & 2, due to a bunch of standalone episodes that the networked ordered. So I'd say yes, it did. Pardon my confusion on the humour front.

Thanks for being so polite, by the way! Many debaters I come across get quite rude and lol-tastic.

I like understanding people, and I loath the wank-loving habits of most people on the net. My secret came from a over-protective of my fandoms place, not an offensive against others place.

Why does it have to have comedy to be good?

Re: 18 OP

Because it's been such an unrelenting barrage of angst, misery, pain, hopelessness, despair and death for, what, four seasons now? A little levity of any sort would be like blessed rain in an endless, bleak desert.

And yes, I'll admit I hated the show from the get-go, for the reasons above. And yes, I also admit it's incredibly well done. But I only watch it because my husband does, and I don't always feel like hiding in the bedroom to avoid the relentless gloom.

I also don't like that the monotheists are winning.

But it was intentionally filmed as though it were a documentary about a disaster wiping out most of mankind. It's popular because it was treated realistically but was not meant to be an angst fest. It is not perfect though, to me the first and second seasons were the most successful. I liked the stories concerning the election, balance of power and the black market because those seemed like things that would really happen if people were forced to live that way for an extended amount of time.

The third season was good, but focused too much on bad romances and couples. I think that's were all the bad angst started. The fourth season is just plain terrible, except for the most recent episode. I also don't like the religious implications the show is making. I feel like it's degenerated into preachy, religious propoganda.

But I still watch it. I think I'm still watching the fourth season just to find out how it's all going to end.

I didn't mean comedy, I just meant something that makes me feel that these creatures do anything other then suffer and stand around looking heroic. I can't identify with any of them, even my friends who are actual Iraq war vets don't act like the characters. No one does. Even in the worst situations there is light. I can't identify with glowing drama-icons, and if I can't connect, I can't watch for too long.
