Default Re: OT: Battlestar Galactica Final Season

I think it's good they are ending BSg now, because in all reality, the show's story was rushed in many aspects. Season one didn't finish wrapping up until just before Pegasus and Pegasus should've had her own story arc with galactica for season 2 and part of 3. But they rushed it and eventually destroyed pegasus in the name of the cylon set. New Caprica's rise and fall and exodus could've been handled differently and better than a meaningless iraq/vichy france allegory. And the mess that was season 3.. Let's say a lot of work was needed.

I know it wasn't meant to be a drawn out show, but I think they could've spent more time of a longer arc for different themes of the show.

However, it ending now is better for the series, because it will be revisited again and again.


As for other shows, I personally enjoy Heroes. It's got a wide variety of characters and stories. I also like Kring's plan for the series which is basically that every season will showcase a different cast of characters with a different plot. Naturally, the fan favorites will show up. Characters like sylar, hiro, and such but the show will be different each season. unlike 24 which has played the same song for 6 seasons.

Space Above and Beyond. Yawn. Why do we need to fight space Nazis again and again and again. I thought WW2 was over.

Firefly was a great show. It and a few others brought scifi TV into it's current incarnation and while few will give it that credit, I think history will smile upon it in 10 years and give it a great restart.

I could never get into Lost. plus the show lost all credibility when they started introducing people on the island who were there the whole time. The show went Gillian after that point for me.

Now 4400, Lost, Surface, Threshold, Invasion, etc. I couldn't stand any of them for too long. Threshold I refused to watch simply because that pervert Brannon Braga created it (as far as I'm concerned - he killed trek). The rest came off as trying to pull the x-files effect.

Doctor Who, I grew up watching it in reruns and thought it was the most retarded thing I ever saw, but it was a fun romp. The new series with chris eccelson (misspelled) was a lot of fun and the doctor after him is okay, but the series is still fun. I look forward to their spinoff Torchwood.
