In fact, sometimes in my own writing it's almost as it I left clues for myself, that all along my subconscious knew where the story was going so all the dots connect. I hope that the "emotionally satisfying" ending I keep hearing about will tie these things together that way.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226550966725485156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-59362036946082454222009-01-08T10:45:00.000-06:002009-01-08T10:45:00.000-06:00As I look back over my diatribe, it seems that I c...As I look back over my diatribe, it seems that I come off as condemning Moore for making stuff up as he goes along, and that is the reason I find it mediocre. As I DID clearly write, fine, fine writers have produced incredible work by making it up as they went along, BUT each and every one showed great respect for what had come before. Moore, on the other hand, simply ignores those elements established in previous seasons if they conflict with whatever has currently caught his fancy. That is simply lazy writing.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, what you said, Danger Girl.Jayme Lynn Blaschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919766841748858790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-46508396449106486952009-01-08T09:58:00.000-06:002009-01-08T09:58:00.000-06:00Couldn't agree more.

It wasn't the scene itself but learning that Moore picked that song just because he liked it. He had no other story reason to pick it, which is just Making Stuff Up. It made no sense. <BR/><BR/>I'm still planning to watch the last season just for closure on the storyline, but I'm not into it like I was initially. <BR/><BR/>Also, I keep reading that the destroyed planet is, in fact, the real Earth. If that's the case, from a story standpoint I'm OK with it. However, I feel gipped because the Big Blue Marble shot in "Crossroads" definitely showed Earth (you could see North America), but the same kind of shot in "Revelations" didn't have the same details. Perhaps the point was to show how extensive the destruction is supposed to be, but I just feel manipulated for no good reason.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08226550966725485156noreply@blogger.com
