I'm going to throw out my wet blanket, so anybody that finds this annoying, just ignore me and PLEASE don't think I'm trying to put down anybody's enjoyment of the show cause this is just ME. ;)
ANYWAY...
For the rest of the show, meaning everything up to FakeEarth (when it was still somewhat redeemable), this is a neat discussion for me...AFTER THAT, in S4.5, for me, it just comes across waaay to strong as Ron and the writers practically having a drunken, spitting-in-your-ear-while-talking-to-you dreary monologue out about possibly losing and then truly having to leave behind the thing they'd wrapped up all their insecurities and delusions of grandeur in. Think about it, 4.5 from Adama's storyline is "All you backstabbing traitors are supposed to let me have everything my way and you're trying to take my ship away, frak all of you!!!" (Mutiny Arc/The Strike), and then it slowly drags into the "I'm losing my ship!!! WAAAH!!!" phase (Galactica's decay/The show's necessary final conclusion). Substitute the word *ship* for *show*, and it comes off as EXACTLY what was going on when they wrote it in RL, which just irritates me beyond end.
I don't like it when a writer's insecurities are blared at me on screen with the attitude that I have to accept their take on things and vilify the rest of world for them, and this was definitely when it turned into that for me. SOOO wish it hadn't been that, and that it actually was a good story, but I just find Moore and the other writers so utterly insecure as Human beings now, for me, it's just them putting their words into the characters' mouths for me now. And NOBODY that refuses to pronounce Kara's name right get's to do that in my book. :P
