A brief note before we begin.
I liked this episode. It was pretty much 99% set-up, but I'm okay with that (remember Normandy? Yeah, I have NO PROBLEMS with episodes that are 99% set-up!). It was pretty to look at and thematically shot, and, until I started thinking too much, the good kind of uncomfortable, and I'm reasonably sure it will segue nicely into the finale tomorrow.
I also have Things I Don't Like in fanfic. Some of the examples I give are going to be kind of specific.
This is not a slight to the writers of said fanfic. We all have things we don't like and characterizations we don't agree on. That's because we are all different and coming at the show from different places. That's part of what makes us so awesome. Please keep that in mind if I don't like one of your pet fanons. I'm sure I've got pet fanons you don't like too. :)
That said, assume spoilers up to "Out of the Blue" for all that follows.
( Here there not be dragons (and that's kind of the problem) )Thoughts?
