After 3 seasons of probably the best writing/effect/tangled lives/dark scenes of any TV how, the last 1/2 doz episodes I thought were writers frantically trying to tie up all the plot threads together. And they failed miserably.
What about Starbuck? A frakking corporeal angel who doesn’t even know why she’s there or what she knows? And was she or not Daniel’s daughter? And do we care if it isn’t mundane to the story?
The whole opera-house-in-BSG thing!!! WOuldn’t it have MUCH more sense if that overlaid the cylon base instead…all that running around would’ve made much more sense.
Poor Tory (a little ethinc idendification aside,) Chief going beserk and killing her was…Stupid!? In the middle of them saving all of humanity he can’t stop himself?
And the actual ending…destroying all the technology was perhaps the weirdest action they could do. Besides…why was it Lee-pretty-boy’s call? No holdouts among the other 49,212 souls? All in agreement that they’d live on agonizingly with no medicines, no machines, no algae food and no means of transport on a hostile planet? No wonder they all died out.
And as for Mitochondrian Eve…let’s just say the writers either don’t know s&&t about biological evolution or they assumed the viewers wouldn’t.
Galactica finale must have been written by a special end of series committee, cheaply paid. For a show that was so richly textured and complex, the finale felt like a throwaway. The entire Hera story line was a waste. I did find it interesting though, how Starbuck’s Cylon husband became such an integral character at the, but thought the whole Saul and his wife thing stupid.
wouldn’t the SLOPEs be the area of frequent pillaging? besides they busy fighting among themselves
> We eat red meat over here, not some pansy, effete organic salad.
Oh but we do eat red meat.
From grass fed cows that read Proust.
The battle lines are drawn.
On my signal, unleash the Bugaboos!
I just loaned Season 1 discs to a TV-less good friend who’s much into SciFi (or SyFy). I expect he’ll love it, but have warned him about the ending.
Bring it on you latte-sipping, stroller-pushing, tight jeans Slopians. Come to the edge of the universe and see what Bed Stuy dishes out. Do or die.
Not to mention said Visigoth hordes have reinforcements from the Bronx- They were pansies before WE got here :-). (Must be the Cossack blood).
The first season of BSG was so damn good.
The last season was awful.
The finale was a trainwreck.
I think all the good writers left after the first season or two.
OK: here it is:

And that’s just for starters.
how is stop and frisk constitutional?
