Battlestar Galactica **Spoilers** discussion

Well Atrocities you are partially right that holywood has done the "Man makes machine now machine wants to kill man" part but completely wrong about the cookie cutter part.

Normally holywood has man win, BSG had mankind lose and lose everything to boot. There is nothing left of humanity as far as the Colonials go except for 52,000 people.
Another thing about the new BSG is thay they show quite clearly (unlike many others) WHY The machines want to kill man. Most Sci-Fi leaves it as well they want yo kill us because we made them sort of story. The Cylons want to kill us because what they think we did to them, and in some ways the New BSG shows that Humanity almost (note almost not fully) deserved what they got in the end because not only did they create these creatures and then effectively enslave them they fought a war and forgot all the lessons they learned there and it cost them everything in the end.


And BTW Alien wasn't robots man made it was ALIENS that man wanted to turn into a weapon of war but never got the chance....oy.

Bladerunner were not Robots Cylons are and you could easily understand why the Blade runner clones wanted to kill man I would too if I were them...

Twilight Zone was the First to do it the Original Outer Limits just ripped them off.

The NEW Outer Limits made Everything kill man and they always made it mans fault and always made it that Humanity had some how fugged up and deserved to die....basically your talking about a series that ENDED with the death of all that was left of Humanity even though they were trying to recover and become more noble and good.

The whole point of the New Outer Limits is taht man should die and women should rule the friggin universe because it would be better that way. T he ONLY shows where Humanity lived on in hope was when some woman led the way and smacked all us warmongering men upside our collective evil heads and made us good.

I mean hell in the Last ep it was a guy who blew up the remnants of the world while all miss noble woman tried to rescue the world from death.

The New OUter limits was basically just a feminist POS that I wouldn't even make refference to as good story writing.
