So, first of all, let me apologize for not posting or responding to comments the last few days. I’ll use the “I’m still new to this blogging thing and not used to posting everyday” excuse this time. I believe that leaves me with the “I caught the worst flu in the history of man and couldn’t get out of bed” and “I had to fly to [insert small town] for a family thing and they didn’t have wi-fi” cards for future downtimes.

Anyway, on to my topic… So I’m completely stuck early on in season 3. Heidi and I have been Netflixing our way through the show and loving it the whole time. But we’ve watched the first two episodes of season 3 and I seriously do NOT want to watch any more.

I mean, could the show BE more depressing? BTW, I’m going to talk a little bit about the plot, so if you’re still new to the show like me, consider this your SPOILER WARNING.

First of all, the show is trapped on this nasty, little planet along with all the humans. Why? WHY?!? I don’t watch BSG to get a replay of CNN Nightly News! I’m already tired of suicide bombings and everyone being tortured. I get it. You’re topical. Yay for you.

Could we bring back the fun already? This is an OUTER SPACE show. I’m glad I wasn’t watching this as they were released. I probably wouldn’t have come back for next week’s episode.

So please, help convince me to carry on and get through this mess. Convince me it’s worth it. Tell me Starbuck is going to gut this pretty little devil child if you have to (though I’d prefer if you could leave me SOME surprises), but help me get over this hump and back into what was, until this point, the best show on television.
