hemophilia posted:I can easily see how this can go sour because as rare as they've been, there have been some extremely dull filler episodes already, and one or two outright duds. I think that's why I dislike really long seasons. Season 2 is really good so far but 20 45 minute episodes is pretty loving bulky. BSG seems like it would have benefitted from being rebooted in 2013 instead of 2003, assuming all the players were the same. yeah it's weird to imagine that i watched bsg in high school and then never watched the final two seasons for years because i was in college and doin things. 2005 TV was way different from now, for sure

The best thing about this show is when Dr. Baltar is talking to his headmate in public and random extras are giving him weird contemptful looks.

THS posted:the reason why any of us care is because bsg was a great show overall but a lot of the lazy writing really stands out when under scrutiny Uh nope. It had a phenomenal pilot. Probably better than any other one I've ever seen or will see. However, before season 1 finished it was getting kind of aimless and wandering. By the end of season 2 it had really lost it's appeal with so much filler bullshit. Season 3 I couldn't even really start because after 1 or 2 episodes it was already too much. That loving pilot though. I will poo poo on BSG for being the incoherent, poorly-thought out, multiple deus-ex machina bullshit and so on. But that loving pilot. If that didn't hook you, something was wrong with you.

"33" remains one of the best hours of television I've ever watched and I would've liked the New Caprica storyline a lot more if they hadn't flashed "THIS IS BUSH'S WAR" across the screen every 30 seconds. But Ron Moore was just pulling everything out of his rear end by the time the whole Final Five thing begins and all that was left for the finale was a dingleberry. Col. Tigh was pretty bad-rear end, though.

Caprica is basically unwatchable. You deserve some kind of prize if you can make it to the end of that show.

it's great if you want to watch several hours of adama's family being a walking talking offensive italian cliche. the parts that aren't that are a really horrible story about a murderous religious cult. oh and some lawnmower man poo poo with a really annoying teen girl.

My friend Margaret once had an ex who dated Katee Sackhoff in High School. He cajoled Margaret into watching the first few episodes and negatively compared her to Katee the entire time. He broke up with her when she said she didn't want to watch it with him any more.

The thing that blows my mind about Caprica is that the main girl in it is Anne (Bland/Egg) from Arrested Development. She turned out totally different as she grew up, like the opposite of Michael Cerra.

kingcom posted:No seriously one of the main characters for the entire season who they spent a tonne of time explaining where they came from their history, their emotional problems and relationships just literally turns out to be an angel or something and poof disappears in the final episode. Vanishing into thin air. Good job everyone. Well it was just the goofy version who came back after she obviously died, i dont think the original starbuck was always an angel. Her backstory wasn't completely stupid in that sense anyway because there was a real person there for most of the show.

She was just resurrected or whatever and didn't know she was a ghost there to do magical things. God's a prankster, I guess.

Right up until the last minute they were all honestly expecting the grand finale to be Ron Moore walking onto the set, clearing his throat, and announcing "God isn't real, souls are a superstitious delusion in a mechanistic universe governed solely by logic and physics, you are a fool if you thought otherwise even for a moment, owned suckers" Tubgirl Cosplay fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jul 23, 2014 |

i mean, i can see how they were confused what with embracing a christ-like love of the other, submitting to a personal concept of god, and discovering the power of faith all being prominent plots in the first season

Doctor Spaceman posted:It gets replaced with a bit of military jargon, but overall it was something they kept to and it worked well Where fans went wrong is seeing the show as some conflict between the military jargon and the religious stuff, with the ultimate reveal of a predetermined plot bible that evidences the inherent logic of the fictitious universe, instead of the jargon and religious dogma being the same thing.

i liked the episode where the chief and a bunch of his lackeys are stuck in the woods and technician #2 dies getting a some dumb thing from the ship cause the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and this needs to be illustrated through sacrifice of life. its was was filmed over in north vancouver where there are SICK mountain bike trails that the team could have shredded on provided they had mountain bikes and wern't being hunted by cyclons. actually having the mountain bikes might have saved technician #2's life. makes you think.

If you watched battlestar galactica and are even slightly confused about the beating-over the head obvious fact that god is real in that show and that the hallucinations are at multiple times shown to be more than hallucinations, you're crazy. Gaius Baltar got a brain scan clearing him and multiple times their Gaius' and 6's hallucinations have fed them information they could not have known. They were supernatural. Also season 3 is loving annoying with PTSD having infected every likable character and making them immensely unlikable. Riot Bimbo fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jul 24, 2014 |
