@Faraday Yeah, but it’s not like they waited until the last couple of episodes to go ‘Oh Wow, Angels!’ Head Six was around from the Miniseries, Head Baltar is revealed in… uh… somewhere in Season 2. So I still wouldn’t say ‘the only way out of the corner was divine intervention’… the divine intervention was baked in from the start.

RE: BSG Reacticaposted in No Escape from Reality
@Faraday Eh, BSG had religious themes from the jump, I think it was more of an issue that they did the miniseries without knowing that they would get a show, and then didn’t know they would be renewed each season.
S2 was announced before S1 aired, but S3 wasn’t announced until S2 finished. Ditto S4, which was announced as the final season in the summer of 2007, after S3 aired, but before the Writer’s Strike (which is proooobably what led to the year hiatus during the mid-season finale of S4).
I’m not going to say that it wrecked the plot. BSG certainly wasn’t as zany as Lost (which jumped the shark because ABC wanted to turn Lost into a Greys Anatomy 20 season bonanza and refused to actually allow them an end-date. The writers DID know where they wanted to end up going, but the goal kept getting pushed back - see Billiam’s 28.4 hour 5-part deept dive into Lost
Anyway TLDR; if you want to mysterybox TV, you gotta know what you want from the start, and you need to make sure the executives give you the number of seasons to get there in the end, which is a problem because capitalism hates art, etc and so on.

@catzilla the becoming was a Lord and Ladies steampunk game that was on Ares for awhile. The premise was great.

I didn’t see this before posting. Now I’m 99% sure it’s her.
I’m almost positive it’s not the same person.
I can certainly believe that as well. Like I originally said, there’s plenty of crazies out there.
ETA For those of us not in the know who is Haruki and what is The Becoming and are they related at all.

Thank you. It’s the bright blue hair. It fools people.
Also, you can never have that toxic love like you did as a teenager where you LOVED them and people were RUINING YOUR LIFE by saying otherwise.

You already know the tea. It’s just the absolute control she had to have over every character action. Women characters were held to a far higher standard. She’d nitpick decisions, make scenes to just lecture, etc.
Rinse. Repeat.
I’m sure they are a good person, but the way they admin left a sour taste in my mouth.

The staff at Neon Protocol is likely the same person that ran The Becoming. I don’t believe that is the same person as jujube/inuki/etc.
Oh. Hard Pass. Hard pass on all their games. Not shocked by this thread now.
