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*

Hey, I actually did something this morning instead of just sitting on my lazy bum (and fielding calls from work).

I booked us for 5 nights (from Thursday to the following Tuesday) at the Ritz. Four Seasons is a bit too far, but this Ritz is only a few block from the Hyatt. I will e-mail the details separately so you can Google map.

No worries if you don't like it, want to change the dates, or want to stay elsewhere. I can cancel w/o problem. I just want to make sure we have somewhere to sleep, and Ritz is usually a good bet all things considered.

Ritz looks really nice. I looked up google map's satellite image, and it's not that far from Hyatt Regency. As to the Con's overflow hotels--Hilton looks kinda drab from the exterior, and Marriott seems to be all booked too for those days.

Thanks so much for doing this. I was stressed out thinking we are not going to find a hotel near Dragon*Con! *Phew*
