I don't know about others, but I'm sick of Kara and her destiny; Baltar and his new found sanctity. I have yet to find a BSG fan that tells me all the prophecy/destiny/religion thing they keep shoving down our throats doesn't annoy him. Of course, that may be because there are several "tribes" in the fandom, and I'm keeping my interactions firmly inside the Lee-loving one, lol.
But seriously, when I want to think about religion, I can watch ST DS9 and consider the Bajorans. And when I want to think about prophecies and what they mean, I can watch Babylon 5, thank you very much. What I liked in the first two seasons of BSG was the humans, struggling to stay alive after surviving the destruction of everything they knew and built and loved. I was never interested in the Cylons (and I don't think I'll ever forgive RDM for trying to convince us that what they did to the humans wasn't so bad after all, which sometimes seems to be the point he's making), nor in Leoben and all his mystical talk. And I'll stop ranting now. :)
The only thing that remotely captured my attention this week was Sharon and (can't believe I'm saying this) Helo. Okay, now *there's* a sign that the episode was bad. :D
