I don't think it's necessarily an unpopular opinion. Most people watching the show like it, lol. We wouldn't nitpick if we didn't ;)
The show is campy and I don't have a problem with camp. I suppose my whole point with the post was that if they wanted to make a campy show that they shouldn't have given Bo such a dark past if they wanted the show to be light-hearted.
You have to admit, it's an odd concept to make a show about a killer campy (I mean honestly, can you think of a show that's overall campy that's had a main character with a past like that? Xena had some campy episodes, but overall it was a drama, and Xena's past as a warlord wasn't overlooked).
If they'd just made Bo able to control her abilities from the beginning, the show we've watched so far, could have happened pretty much exactly as it has, and stayed the same in tone (camp and ridiculousness) and it would have made a lot more sense.
For example: Bo would still go to Dyson for healing etc., because she can take as much energy from him as she wants because he heals more quickly than humans. The Bo/Dyson relationship stays the same.
Bo and Lauren don't happen for eight episodes because Bo wants to be romantic and get to know her first and Lauren is afraid of the Ash's reaction to her and Bo hooking up. Bo/Lauren stays the same.
By simply not making Bo have killed people for years the show could have avoided the pitfalls it's fallen into now and could have been as campy, and fun, and ridiculous as it wanted AND the main character would have made sense instead of being so confusing.
