A Small BSG Season 4 Spoiler

[xwacky]

I just saw a small Battlestar Galactica season 4 spoiler at SyFy Portal.  I have to say that I'm a little annoyed at reading this piece of information.

Basically, the spoiler says that BSG is adding a new female character to the cast.  Her name is Kendra Taggert (same initial as Starbuck, coincidence? ) and she's a Major who was stationed on Pegasus.  Supposedly Major Taggert went a little loopy after the initial cylon attack (a la Starbuck?!)

I'm not thrilled at all that BSG would introduce a new character at this late stage.  Ron Moore had already said that the show is moving into its third act in a 3-act structured play.  I would much rather TPTB focus on the stories involving the main characters we all come to love and care about through out the years.

Also I'm a little annoyed at Ron Moore's propensity at recycling his ideas.  Case in point:  the much overly used flashbacks, the "head figures" that nobody else can see for multiple characters, the tendency to use intercut scenes, and now another loopy young female character...

I wonder if this new character is being setup to be the last cylon?  Why else introduce a new character when the story is moving towards its finale? *sigh*

Don't worry about not purchasing the banquet at this time. I didn't either. I think we are pretty safe if we decide sometimes before the end of July. The lady I talked to said she'll tell her webmaster to put the link to pay with PayPal back for buying the banquet seating (the link was there before, but for some reason, it got taken out). Even if we can't pay it with PayPal, I can just call her back to buy them over the phone. Come to think of it, if we all decide to go, I should call her on the phone to request we all get seated at one table.

I meant to post a blurb at AR about going to Dragon*Con, but I keep forgetting to do so. I should let Laurie know soon, and I want to find out if she want to go the the banquet or not.

Speaking of Skiffy board, Liebestraume is ClairdeLune AND stilettos81!
She's having a "multiple personality" syndrome!

Thanks for letting me know about what's happening in the "bunny thread" at skiffy! I haven't been there in ages (well, since the season was over). Got to check it out. What screen name did you register there at skiffy?

LOL--I think I talked to Claire a couple of times in chat. I wonder if she remembers me? I actually wondered if it was her that posted. I registered with the same name as AR--I couldn't really think of anything else!

I emailed Laurie a little while ago with the info you found out. I told her to let me know about the banquet.
