Taintrunner posted:the new star wars ends with hitler youth guy saving hitler's granddaughter from hitler shocked to learn that the pointless plot point in the first movie that was pointlessly retconned in the second movie was once again pointlessly retconned in the third one so have any of the woke idiots who thought rey was subversive because she wasnt descended from important people decided that star wars is actually bad or did they just find some other stupid reason to declare the series transcendent storytelling

IIRC it's pretty close to the second arc of the comics (they tweak the ending but otherwise it's pretty spot on) and that's definitely not a comic series that i think most people have heard of

Serf posted:its half of a complete story, so its hard to say. personally, i agree with you but it seems the show will not be vindicating that belief Her "Hey, Holden, sort this protomolecule poo poo out and OTHERWISE DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN THIS DISPUTE WITH THE BELTERS" policy was at best a mixed success, as anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds in Holden's presence could have predicted. Her "maybe we should think twice before grabbing up every loving planet through the magic space gates that we know nothing about" policy is probably correct, even if she is still an Earther, and thus cannot look at a thing without trying to figure out who owns it, how to make it her possession, rather than sharing to make her bowl more plentiful. Her "completely fail to notice that Mars is up to top secret shenanigans because you're too busy trying to win an election and alienating everyone who even remotely likes you in the process" was a resounding success though!

I think shes got a bit of a point in that they don't want to end up with a bunch of space Dariens but she's blatantly ignoring the wants and needs of pretty much everyone while refusing to give an inch and enforcing the decision by blowing civilian ships out of the sky. She's in character but also wrong and while I'm only 3 episodes in I hope the writers at least agree a little

Serf posted:think about the social works program that could be spun up out of training, equipping, and sending billions of unemployed and hopeless earthers to all those worlds. it could be the biggest project in human history imo the main theme of the season is that cultures reach stagnation through a lack of political imagination. there's no reason you have to start colonizing everything right away, they could be sending millions of people through the gates to survey all of those systems without touching anything. If they waited on probes to handle everything they'd all be long dead before the survey would be completed - and sending out probes carries an inherent risk anyway because there's no guarantee that they wouldn't activate protomolecule junk too. I know the hidden enemy is somewhere out there, but if you want to avoid that completely then you can't use the gates at all. There's no getting around the problem.

docbeard posted:Anyway, in answer to the original question, yes, Battlestar Galactica is well worth a watch, at least the first two seasons. gently caress da haters. Agreed, it goes off the rails in the last season but even then there are still some good episodes there. The highs are very high in earlier seasons.
