No see, they all died in the crash. That's what the empty plane on the beach meant. They were in purgatory the whole time. That's what the one guy's dad meant in the church at the end.

We'll just have to agree that what you said about Farscape is crazy, but Defiance has turned out to be quite good. The first year is heavy on the cheese, but this season has been pretty well done. I really don't follow the "great Acting" in BSG thing though. EJO and old Apollo did the best they could with what they had to work with, but everybody else was pretty painful to watch. Oh, except the guy who played Baltar. He was hammy and over the top, but the fun he was having while doing it was kinda infectious.

Be sure to watch Battlestar Galactica: The Plan to see Edward James Olmos direct his own wife (thirty tears his junior) in an extended R-rated sex scene with a big black dude. Also, Starbuck gets her right tit out in that newest Pitch Black Riddick Vin Diesel poo poo. Also lol @ the boxing episode. Also be sure to check out the BSG threads on here for double lolz where you can read the fags from TVIV talk about how "perfect" the ending was and how it completely made sense.

Yeah the latest Riddick movie had the classic sleazy shower scene in the beginning. Lucy Lawless got wonderfully naked in Spartacus.

BSG had the single worst ending I have ever seen in a tv series. The entire last season was complete poo poo. I remember reading that the writing team had no plan or direction for the series. They just kind of wrote it and made poo poo up as they went. Then when it came time to end the series, they had written themselves in to a corner and decided to just give up and poo poo out season 4. It's hilarious to watch the fanboys defend the last season in that light.

Xaris posted:edit: also syfy really never made good shows. 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. Stargate started on Showtime and ran there for 5 years before the siffy came into play any and about 14 of the 15 seasons of Stargate stuff was enjoyable at least. Farscape is literally the best sci-fi series ever, though.

Nah B5 is pretty good but half the cast are literally the worst actors and two out of 5 seasons are dogshit. Farscape has a better ratio of good/bad and has a better plot than your old man cold war analogy. THS posted:can anyone else endorse defiance. i like pretty bad scifi but the few clips i saw of the first season looked so godawful i stayed the gently caress away Its good, not amazing and starts like absolute garbage but the space mafia guys are loads of fun as ones like a competent puppet master type and the other is a stab happy cartoon villain type which is actually the best goddamn thing in this show. Your not going to write home about it and it does some stupid poo poo but overall they seem to have found their groove by season 2 and avoided falling into the lovely 'oh god please dont have that be the reason stuff is happening' plot holes.

Season 5 has a interesting plot after you get past the garbage first half that goes nowhere and is pointless. Season 1 is purely just set up except the main character needs to be removed so a big chunk of the setup is wasted. Outside of Mordin scenes (and aforementioned Londo/G'Kar) everything is irrelevent and skippable. Delen is basically a completely different character after season 1 and most of the setup doesn't have much of a payoff outside of standalone episodes. Also any time Chekov shows up is usually a pretty solid episode too. kingcom fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jul 23, 2014 |
