It really came as a surprise to me when all that had happened before and will happen again.

I wasn't the least bit surprised because I figured out they were winging it and had no real metaplot in the first season or so. The finale had me grating my teeth at how loving retarded it was but nope, no surprises. Starbuck Goes Poof and Let's Throw Our Spaceships Into The Sun were what really bugged the poo poo out of me, not so much God Did It (although that was simply bad if not surprising).School Nickname posted:How the did original cylons who rebelled for being treated unfairly, ever put up with his poo poo? Because drat he was the biggest prick in the show. tbh his character's suicide rendered his entire existence totally pointless so my brain pretty much edited him out entirely what did he do earlier aside from leer at Mrs. Tigh and be vaguely creepy?

I'd be the guy sitting on a ship going "no gently caress YOU just pretend I flew it into the sun okay. Go live in your stupid loving mud huts or whatever Lee, I'll be sitting here in comfort and when you're all starving come wintertime I'll send you some food grown in the hydroponics bay and some building materials shitted out of the manufacturing section." Ain't taking my technologies.

It was ambiguous early on whether the show was supposed to be set in the distant past or distant future. I think the distant future would have been a far better choice. The ending with them destroying the ships and settling down with early humans was really, really dumb.

If there is anyone smart and charismatic enough to convince the entire fleet to abandon all facets of modern society and poo poo themselves to death, it's obviously Lee loving Adama

I think I'll start refining some alcohol in some of these leftover tanks you've so kindly decided to abandon. Maybe grow some... weeds. Have fun planetside.

But really can't you see technology led us to our DOOOOOM we have to give it all up for a simpler life. It's such a deep and spiritual life in this mudpile.

We've got a little landing pad town going so they can alternate between living on planet and living on the ship. Besides, this Cylon organic ship building whatever is doing most of the work for us! I pretty much just throw kicking rad parties up here with all the best drugs and alcohol.

the ending of the show was pretty cool because there was no way they could actually tie up every plot thread and character arc in a satisfying way, so not even trying and instead just doing a cool spiritual 2001-esque  of an ending was totally the way to gothe fact that it made so many sci-fi people mad because it wasn't "realistic" just made it better

And then RDM winks at the camera while a moral is almost literally read out? Just make one of those the focus and have the end revolve around that thing.

Remember that episode where a bunch of the main characters go to a temple or something and are shown the way to Earth based on the appearance of constellations from Earth's surface? No? Neither did the show, because that Earth was the lovely nuked Earth that they didn't settle on and we apparently don't live on right now.

it's really cool that SyFy doesn't make actual good shows anymore because it's cheaper and easier to get people to watch lovely Asylum movies with wacky ironic names :iamafag:

BSG was sort of an anomaly in quality and great acting, but most of the stargate stuff sucked and Farscape was ok but not as good as people claim. they still "try to make good shows". recently they try-harded with this retarded show called Helix with "RONALD D MOORE" and holy mother of god that was awful. i'd rather watch some cheesy sharkapeplatypus-nado than that crap. VVVVVV har har, beaten. But that's a very good point about Sky. That's probably 80% of the reason BSG turned out as good as it did. Xaris fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Jul 22, 2014 |

So wait, at the end of the show the humans decide to live on some new planet they found, caveman style? They willfully abandon modern (future) medicine, science, plumbing and electricity to live in mud huts and hunt animals for food with rocks and clubs? What the gently caress.
