Inst Murtry the "legend of gin aley"? I have to say it was my least favorite season so far. Not bad but not so exiting and the writing was subpar compared to the previous seasons. The dialogue was sometimes pretty bad and some characters seems to have become caricatures of themselves (Avassarala specially) Im still on board for S5 though I liked the Mars parts a lot, it was my favorite plot

BSG is fun and good, is a great space action/drama with great characters and memorable scenes and good ideas The overarching plot however is disapponting and full of holes and is pretty obvious that they were making it up as they went along and got lost in the way Still a good show, I dont regret watching it at all

I liked Bobbie parts cause it shows some Mars, which I was curious to see from the beggining and was barely covered so far Chrisjen however were really boring and bad, for the most part, even though I love the actress and the character

Hey maybe is not hivemind but just lots of people felt the same about it? Is not that uncommon. I know i didint get my opinion here And nope, is not about lack of explosions, not for me. I watch plenty of stuff with no explosions at all! It was just kinda bland and the writing was definitely uninspired. Still OK, though. But not my favorite season Its ok if you think otherwise too, no need to come here accusing people of being hiveminded idiots whatever

For me is not that it was boring, but it was kinda bland, and the writing was weak. Christjen plot could have been very good, I always loved the political and scheming parts. But it just wanst: it was all silly, predictable, and her lines were terrible. For me it seems like some marketing guy found out that the internet liked her cursing and smartass retorts and decided to tune it up to 9999, which made her a cringey caricature of what her character were On the planet, the numerous "wow look at this thing the protomolecule tech is doing! its breaking all the laws of physics!" moments didint worked much for me. On the first seasons I actually felt the same wonder and terror the characters felt when Eros moved, or when that ship was disassembled in air, etc. Now it was kinda "oh, it shoots lighting now. ok" Also there was interesting little things like the bugs and the slugs that were just dropped and it was disapponting And there was the "legend of gin alley" dude whose character could be good but that guy apparently cant do anything but childish cartoon vilains and it was bad And finally, Steven Strait acting seems to have gotten worse, which is quite a feat Apart from that, I liked the Mars plot, and the belters plot. It wanst bad, just kinda average

They arent completely wrong are they?

Finished the new season yesterday, liked it a lot. Better than last season by a mile I liked that it went back to internal politics and all, away from spectacular alien stuff for a bit. I like the crazy alien stuff, but when is one crazy alien thing happening after the other, it starts lose effect, and S4 was a bit too full of it Alex was written out because of that whole mess the actor got involved into right? His death come out of nowhere, it was very weirtd

Inferior Third Season posted:If I didn't know about the accusations, I would have just assumed the actor got greedy in contract negotiations or just decided not to come back, and the producers decided to give him an unceremonious death in retaliation. Major characters dying in season finales is not unusual. Yeah, but when is something planned, the character gets a dramatic death, a meaningful ending, stuff like that Alex dies out of nowhere, literally without reason and than gets one or two "oh so sad he died" and that was it. He was one of the protagonists edit: LOST killed a lot of characters for out of screen reasons and I dont remember any of them being so ridiculous as Alex death was Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Feb 10, 2021 |

It does sounds like when GRRM set the Wall to be 700 m high or something and only after realized how absurd that is. Except they want to pretend it was intentional But to be honest while watching I had no problem with "20 megatons" since I have no idea how much that is and it does sounds like a lot

I'm rewatching the first seasons and realized there's 2 important things I never understood: 1- why did the protogen guys boarded the Donnager? 2- who started the shooting over ganymede and why? I just can't parse that scene: 1) Bobbie tells in the radio they might be getting charged 2) loses radio 3) ship captain get angry and yells something about needing visual of ground 4) everyone starts shooting

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:"Why did they kill the Donnager?" is easy. They wanted to muddy the waters between Earth and Mars. The Skorpuli was probably a trap for the Donnager that the Canterbury stumbled into. Yeah, that. Boarding is what makes no sense in my head. It might be what CLAM DOWN said but it was never explained in the show (I dont know about the books)

I got used to Steven Strait acting to the point it doenst really bothers me anymore as it did on the beginning but when I look at him for too long is always very visible the effort he has make to simulate any meaningful human expression on that gorgeous face of him It was specially terrible during that "very angry about the protomolecule" phase of Holden

I found S4 much better the second time I watched it Even Murphy, who I found just annoying the first time, I kinda liked in the second watch. I guess the first time I still hated him for that "legend of gin alley" bullshit on GoT My biggest gripe with S4 is what they did to Avassarala: is like their marketing team realized fans loved her cursing and owning people and made her say "gently caress" in literaly every phrase and be stupidly rude all the time. She became a charicature of herself Fortunately they toned it down again on S5 edit: vvv that I dont know but the way she talked in S4 just felt artificial, I think Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Mar 8, 2021 |

Im probably alone on this, but it was one of my favorite recent sci-fi shows Im going to try Foundantion too, since I never read the book Im not worried that it seems to have little to do with it AtraMorS posted:Also like Twin Peaks, I don't expect Raised By Wolves to ever make any kind of coherent sense, and I'm okay with that.
