ean really, on a loving battlestar how would the cylon boarding party just use DC to vent the oxygen on the ship, why not lock out control of aft damage control
if its such a problem why didnt anyone else waltz in and vent the crew when Geta took over the ship?

False. It was that plus Edward James Olmos loving killing it as Adama. Everyone else was pretty forgettable.

Tigh was a solid character throughout the series. So was Baltar

it's because bsg was really loving lazy about just contriving stupid poo poo whenever they needed the plot to do something



remember when they had that stupid "resurrection virus" and the plan was to execute the infected cylons after they lured a cylon fleet into close range? and then it turns out that instead of just holding guns to the prisoners' heads and waiting for the cylons to jump out, then just shooting them and immediately jumping the gently caress out, they instead left them all alone in a locked and conveniently sealed room where loving chisel-jawed Helo could suffocate them before the cylon fleet showed up


and then the writers' favorite golden boy received no punishment for literally sabotaging an attack ordered by both the president of the colonies and the supreme commander of the colonial fleet

i remember there was an article towards the end of (or shortly after?) the show where one of the writers said that they had been trying to figure out how to plausibly get from point A to point B during the last season, and ronald moore threw a tantrum and basically said "gently caress this, why do we give a poo poo? it's just all about the characters anyway, we can do whatever we want"


and i really, really wish i could find that article again

Yeah there's a lot of poo poo like this, especially in season 4. Like Baltar's Harem got a bunch of assault rifles then that subplot of turning Dog town into a religious extremist controlled area disappeared for some reason.

did helo even really do anything the entire series after impregnating Athena?

He'll tire eventually.
Who are the final five?

NO ONE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DECIDED YET.

gently caress shows that a story arc but have no plan. gently caress them to death.

In hindsight the cylon plan was really lacking.

And Baltar's destiny for which GOD kept him alive for years was to hold a baby for 5 minutes.
