sad question posted:I liked it when Chief staged a strike because children workers kept getting stuck in the machine gears and Adama responded by threatening to airlock his cabbage smelling wife. But it's okay because at the end Roslin tells hims that his feedback is appreciated and she will get back to him as soon as possible. This is ultimately why the mutiny was justified

DrBouvenstein posted:Meanwhile the Battlestar Galactica universe equivalent of Bezos, Gates, and Musk are living in luxury on what is essentially a 3 year long vacation on the cruise liner ship. Any version of the show that tackles this issue appropriately is a version of the show that gets canceled almost immediately I'm sure

Arcsquad12 posted:Or it would be the shortest show ever once the Galactica turns its guns on the fleet to quell a civilian uprising and then gets jumped by five basestars and destroyed. iirc this isn't too far off from the original plan for the finale before the writer's strike, that the mutiny would succeed but most of the fleet would end up getting destroyed. my point was that the show was for all it's excellent parts, was politically still basic liberal trash; the colonials couldn't keep their civilization and died in agony because they couldn't see any way other than the status quo bullshit was see in real life. Had they accepted fully automated luxury gay space communism into their hearts they could have teamed up with the rebel cylons and made Earth 2 into a paradise from their cool new city but instead they all wandered into the woods and shat themselves to death/got mauled by mammoths etc. honestly Im very tired and I don't think bsg was as smartly written as it came across sometimes

Eh, Helo was such a dorky character that should have died a thousand times over in that universe I don't think even a more seasoned actor could have convincingly done much more with him. I don't think there were any particularly bad actors in the show.

Lol bullshit he was going to space her if he couldnt get fuel for his fighter planes, that was literally the justification he gave He let tyrol get away with something else I can't quite remember back in season 1 for the same reason, he needed his deck Chief to keep his planes flying I like BSG but it's lib-brained as gently caress

Sanguinia posted:No, what he did was not allow an enlisted military personelle to go on strike when their method of strike was taking upon themselves the right to dictate what is and is not an essential mission on a warship. I'm not an expert on military law or anything but I feel like they're normally not legally allowed to do that. Strikes do have legal limitations, they always have. Lol what flavor do those boots come in, boss? Mmm nummy!

Wonder where that's buried I love that for all their bullshit about Starbuck being the chosen one leading them to their end it was ultimately Lee who was responsible for the final destruction of human civilization and culture Because of that idiot it took us 10,000 years to redevelop the electric guitar solo. History's greatest crime imo

Mister Speaker posted:EDIT: The one where Chief becomes some socialist icon on the factory ship (and even says something like "we have to throw our bodies on the gears") was pretty bad, but it has one of the best songs in the soundtrack. I hate that episode but I'm also grateful to have seen it when I was young and forming so that I could learn and understand why Chief was right and he should have led the mutiny I read somewhere the soundtrack for that ep was an homage to Shirley Walker's score for that ep of Batman TAS where he loses his memory and ends up in a mine somewhere

BSG was an incredible ride as it was airing right through the New Caprica rescue, but it really starts falling apart quickly after that. I feel like the rest of the genre learned all the wrong lessons from BSG's success, despite the show's high points too much of it doesn't hold up when I'm watching it now

Love how it’s not ok for the poors to choose their own jobs, but people like Lee and Adama and other fleet officers can decide to gently caress off and retire their position whenever they want. Tyrol should have led the mutiny as a workers' uprising to prevent the Adama dynasty from leading their civilization to it's end

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:We never get to see how Cottle reacts to the idea of abandoning his relatively advanced medicine for....whatever Lee had in mind, but I can't imagine he was happy about it. I like to think that he kept his medical tech and refused to live like a caveman, but the way they were talking about it aboard Galactica made it seem like everyone just agreed to Lee's plan without much fuss (which seems improbable). I'd like to think there were a group of Colonials that networked whatever Raptors they had with them into a little settlement until they died out because Lee's plan was loving terrible

Mister Speaker posted:I never finished ReBoot either. Not even sure I watched much after the X-Files episode, which I thought was a season finale but apparently was not? The 'web' opened up at the end and I thought that was when Bob disappeared and the focus of the show turned to Enzo literally 'surfing the web', or having a pirate ship or something. The show got really weird when Enzo aged and got buff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOM1LHra5pk If you forgot what happened on ReBoot after Enzo got old and buff then definitely watch it again.

I like to think that a huge chunk of the humans decided to stick with the centurions on their base star and the people we see wandering off into a field to die of dysentery on Earth at the end were the idiots that learned nothing from their experiences
