They know and they don’t care. Why don’t they care? I don’t know why they don’t care. After finishing Wotviii, and after writing most of this post, I googled for some reviews; and I found this sfsite piece by James Seidman:

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:"writers just copped out and basically said 'uh, well, god did it'" the term "deus ex machina" originally referred to literally lowering a statue of a god ("deus") onto the stage with a crane ("ex machina)" to fuckin wrap up all the loose ends in your play. this was such a bad, stupid way to end a play that the ancient greeks had a special word for it. bsg went full-bore on a cliche that was already tired three thousand years ago Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Sep 12, 2013 |
