Default Re: OT: Battlestar Galactica Final Season

hmm well I enjoyed BSG but it sort of lost me awhile back. It's not that I'm not interested but a friend gives me the episodes and after the last lot I simply don't feel like bothering him for the rest. It's not them it's me, to use a cliche. I am just not into the way they frame the show. An entire episode about a boxing match? yeah I know it's meant to be representative of something and a vehicle for character interaction but I just plain think boxing is for idiots, sorry. Keep in mind I studied Martial arts for years. Boxing is not a martial art, it's 2 people slowly giving each other brain damage/parkinsons disease (yes, I don't understand why Cassius Clay is so popular). I'll be interested to see how things work out.

Now for my opinion on the other shows mentioned, and again I apologise if people disagree, no problem, it doesn't bother me people like things I find inexplicable.

Firefly: I have seen one episode I sort of liked, and that's because it had a giant Alliance battleship, but the twin problems of space travel mixed with cowboy stuff is silly. Both by themselves are ok, not that I am really interested in cowboy stuff seeing as I'm not american, but gunslingers in brown trenchcoats in space . The second problem is the intro. Clearly they got their astronomical terms mixed up which sort of lost me just as I was learning what it was.

I don't know the others except perhaps 4400 which if I remember the guy from the future is about to warn them of something when some idiot shoots him.

I love Heroes, and have been a Dr Who fan my entire life, although I must admit I find the behaviour of the latest Doctors somewhat grating. The first new one wasn't so bad, but the latest one

"Marvellous!"

oh, shut the $@%@ up.
