A not that coherent feelingspiral about how terribly written Gaius Baltar’s entire s4 plot is; aka: FUCK THIS CULT SHIT.
I’ve never seen such a blatant instance of losing the plot as s4 Gaius—it’s like they forgot about what the point of Gaius was and tried to cobble together a character thesis out of confused hindsight. It’s killing me because he had such a clear, consistent place before, and every now and again I can see it in glimpses amidst the yards of stupid cult bullshit; at least once every episode, there’s a moment of you! you! I see you, I see the point of you, have they remembered the point of you?—and then, no, no, it blinks away into another fucking miracle, another fucking weirdly sincere Jesus tableau, another fundamental fucking misread of THE ENTIRE POINT OF GAIUS BALTAR.
#i have so many feelings #they #are #all #angry #bsg #objectively failed attempts at humaning #i think i didn't realize how intensely attached to gaius as an individual character construct i was until they FUCKED HIM UP #like we all know my caprica feelings and my six feels at large—but i can't feel things in half measures #so loving this ship like i do means being very fucking thoughtful regarding this idiot #AND THIS SHOW IS BEING #FUCKING #STUPID #how do you coherency #whatever i could just keysmash for a thousand words and it would be more coherent than s4 at large #stupid fucking waste of my life season #ugh #ugh #ugh
