Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I lost interest around the middle of season 2. The Pegasus captain being a supermodel stretched my suspension of disbelief to the breaking point.

Also, got a bit tired how they were always trying to go for the parallels in US foreign policy.

I also found the cast all-together too "pretty" with the exception of Tigh and Adama. Apollo is a real milquetoast - and makes me shiver with discomfort when he gets all angsty.

Just my two cubits ...

Next: make me a supermodel: live final

I commented on persephone's profile before I read this. You're much more eloquent than I.

I agree with you 100% on this one.

Not at all.... What I've been tryin to say (very badly I admit) is this:
It is one thing to say "negative attention, or even just TOO MUCH attention can be a negative experience no matter who you are"
it is quite another to say "I'm upset because I garner too much attention and it gets negative" unless you're a supermodel or rock star or something. Standing out in a crowd happens whether you're exceedingly pretty OR exceedingly ugly. Negative attention is a problem regardless of what you look like. This insistance that negative attention is such a problem for PRETTY PEOPLE is insulting to others who have the same problem but aren't pretty. It's like you're saying "well we have men stalking us because we're so damned beautiful" - um excuse me, but you have men stalking you because you're female. How do I know this? Because ugly women get stalked just as much.
Can you see how blindingly narcissistic this looks? To lay some special claim on harrassing behavior just because you're pretty? This is a feminist issue and I deplore it being devalued down to only being pertinant to the pretty ones. What happens when the next time some not-so-fortunate-looking female speaks up about her harrassing ex-boyfriend? Is it a far leap for others to disbelieve her claims because, after all, she's not that pretty... why would a guy stalk her?
No one likes harrassing and intimidating behavior. No one enjoys it. But many many women have it happen to them. To turn this into an issue about looks is devaluing.
By the same token, no one likes being objectified. And it happens quite frequently to UNpretty women too. To imply it's a difficulty only for the beautiful is demeaning and demoralizing and subverts the issues of power-play inherent in objectification.

So it sounds like you're saying unattractive people deserve empathy and understanding, but attractive ones do not. Is that what you're saying? They've got it so good, they don't know up from down, so why should anyone listen to their story? By offering my experiences, I was trying to garner some empathy for the negative side to lots of male attention, especially to the inexperienced, naive and unprepared idiot that was me. You think it made me feel good about myself, to have guys do what they did? A little boost, or something?

It's somewhat reassuring to me that I'm not alone in having a chip on my shoulder about stuff. I'd say you have a decent sized one yourself, only different stuff, no?

"You'd think that being a rock star and married to a supermodel would be the greatest thing in the world. It is."

i thought they just blocked the steamy video of Brazilian supermodel Cicarelli 'making out' with her boyfriend?? i don't think it's all of brazil that is being blocked.

I got a letter of condolence from Matt Groening after posting one of his "Life in Hell"-cartoon drawrings at work and getting fired for it-He sent me and autographed pic and a postcard sayin' "Sorry buddy...Life is...This was prior to 85', bout a year b-4 The Simpsons.....Oh yeah...Met lotsa rock stars, bit actors, supermodels, and politicians......funny they all smell similar......Don't worry, your 15 minutes is almost up!

This vid helped me recall that there was a time when I wasn't on VS... and I kicked myself for not posting this here myself.

I don't get these shows.

The chick obviously made an effort. So, her talent's debateable, does that mean the judges have to behave themselves like complete assholes with no respect for people? These contestants may not all have much talent, and some suck, but it takes guts to try and follow your dreams, especially when you're not some supermodel type and maybe haven't had access to proper training, but that isn't a reason to treat them like dirt.

I think the judges deserve a good beating.
