Same except instead of Westworld, it's Will & Grace

Kind of like "everyone is D" in Westworld. At some point it just becomes ridiculous, but a little worse with BSG because that twist was just dumb and even trying to make it fit underlies what happen before in the show.
In Westworld at least it was clearly planned. The kind of obnoxious thing is they had things drag out in a lot of cases to get the omni-Dolores reveal all at once. Honestly, I think I found it pretty funny and a fun twist at the time, but then you look back and wonder why you spent so much time with these non-characters just for the sake of this one somewhat interesting chuckle.

Hale Dolores becoming more like Hale as she pretended to be Hale, but better because she was still Dolores, was one of the most interesting parts of Season 3 actually. But it felt like she'd completely synthesized Hale's personality into her own by season 4, and it was a bit odd how un-Dolores she was, despite actually just being Dolores.

I really hate that they killed Hale Dolores's family so she could be ~true evil~, I really liked the tension that was brewing there.

It's canon they're in the same world of Disappointing Television :negative:

I loved the final five reveal. Every bit of it. That scene with Tigh and Adama landed perfectly.

Westworld *wishes* it could be that good past its first season.

It would have been better if the guy who played Billy actually would have agreed to be less lovely, as they were obviously setting him up for the role and it would have matched the “Cylons are drawn to the #2 role” thing.

So this show is cancelled? What happened last season? Was it a fitting end to the series?

I may be mistaken, but I believe they're referring to how Paul Campbell (who played Billy Keikeya) refused to sign a longer-term contract and was so written off the show. It's likely he would've been one of the Final Five instead of Tori, offering more dramatic potential since Billy was so close to Roslin from the outset and would've been a more shocking reveal.

Aw, balls. That would've been way the gently caress better. I wish I'd never learned that.

But I still loved it. Here's hopin' I still do next time around.

I read an interview with him many years ago and he admitted he was being really inconsistent or something as well, like his heart wasn’t in it, so he was a headache before he was written off.

It would have been so much cooler if he’d been one of the five, though they probably would have found a way to mess it up.

You know, never getting an answer for the post-credits sequence of the Season 2 finale blows.

What even was it? I don't remember.

Edit: or most of season 2, for that matter. I pretty much only remember the Shogunworld reveal in the finale and that rad standalone episode that turned out to have been a last-minute addition to the season.

Gods, what a loving waste.

I get being lost in the weeds and losing sight of things, but how do you drop so many balls so spectacularly?

Between this, Game of Thrones, and the Honey Boo Boo guy now running Warner Brothers, I have zero faith in any HBO show to stick the landing. Or even be around long enough to do so.

And I really like The Last of Us. :(
