Yeah, it's funny that we jump off from the starting point of this discussion in two totally different directions, but I end up at the same place as her!
- show is not trying to make a point about free will; mythic elements not a big deal
- OK with idea of Kara having a destiny
- pissed that Kara's destiny was stupid, and that she didn't need to die for it to happen
- supernatural element has been there since day 1, so it's kind of silly to object to it (hello, Laura Roslin!)...
- but the writers made a real unsatisfying mess of their mythology, and succumbed to lazy plotting
So, all in all, check, check and check! Except, heh, yeah, for that part about this scene. Because it causes me pain to see Kara told, yet again, that she is a cancer.
