I didn't. It took some soul searching and a lot of therapy, but I didn't do it.

Holy shit, that was ballsy!

it was! I'm shocked. I don't know if that was a good idea or not. Major character.

Yeah, that was fucking intense. Also, I'm willing to let your child wither and die inside you if that's what's required.

Episode 4 is the best of season 2 so far. I'm done watching for today, but I could go on longer. Such a fun show.

I stopped after 2, but was really tempted to keep going. I'm trying to limit myself to 1 or 2 a day. It really is fun to watch.

Just watched ep one.
Spoiler: show
As much as that was a "wow" moment, and great for pushing his character forward, shows like this one lose something for having killed characters that way. Battlestar lost some of its repeat value because so much was invested in characters who just ended up dead, so you weren't so interested in their arc on replay.

I assume it's going to lead to big things later on, since the season pretty much has to be his Empire Strikes Back.

Just finished the season.

Aside from a few great episodes and a lot of great work from the cast, this was a bit of a letdown.

That's still a spoiler, in my book,
Spoiler: show
in that it builds anticipation. It's like someone saying "oh, that movie is great, you're gonna love the twist"... it's gonna ruin the experience of being pulled along by the diegesis because you're gonna be on the lookout for a twist. So out of courtesy I use the spoiler code.

Spoiler: show
Did she need to leave the show for a better role you think? Or was this purely just a shocking plot development? I'm guessing she was written out for real world reasons. In either case, they can't go to that well anymore. It was awesome though. All these people are so evil, I was pretty happy she died. fuck that ho!

At least I got to see Kate Mara's sweet, sweet ass one more time.
