I have to disagree with you. This show rocks. Hey it's not Star Trek with happy endings and I'm glad it's not. Besides how many times have we seen that model. I'm glad the show is relevent to the times. I'll keep this on Tivo. This is the best SciFI show out there.

Lost looks to be better this season than last.

***** BSG SPOILERS *****

Battlestar Galactica... not so thrilling so far. The Galactica is nothing more than a 'comma'... it isn't the best ship in the fleet, and the show isn't even about the fleet.

The stuff on the planet doesn't even make sense... the humans with all their political and social experience can't deal with the cylons, and the cylons for some fool reason need to occupy the planet instead of managing the zoo from orbit. Both the cylons and the humans fail to realize that with under 50k humans left, they'd need to be treated as an endangered species... yet both groups don't seem to put much value in people's lives.

I found it hard to sit through for two hours.

Battlestar Galactica is becomming even more of a soap opera. Perhaps the creators are trying to appeal to a wider audience...women.

It has been way to much of a soap opera from the start. I cannot watch the show without geting the urge to throw up. The story is so scattered and the characters so bad the way the act is completely not how anyone would act in the situations they are in. Jesus alot of the characters are supposed to be highly trained military personal but they act like 5 year old in their interaction with each other. I have to say that the original even with all of its flaws is still far better than the new BSG. It is almost as bad as the made for tv scifi/horor movies they keep insisting to make. Arrg only reason to goto the scifi is for Stargate and sometimes Eureka.

I agree with every thing that Combat Wombat just stated.

Yeah... the original BSG was a larger than life heroic fantasy, while the new BSG not only seems mired in dysfunctionality, it goes as far as wallowing in that dysfunctionality as that is the only thing that drives the plot.

I didn't compare it too star trek or any other show. To me the show seems to change its story lines as if the creator and writers don't really know where to take the show. "Hey this is cool, lets do this for a while." Just doesn't seem like something that interests me over time. They were cutting edge in season two then in the last few episodes they just went down hill fast. I am not alone in that POV, as many fans voiced dissappointment in the ending episodes of Season 2.

From what I have read most fans are as I am, perplexed as to what in the hell is going on. If they were going to do an Iraq war peace, they should have developed it more rather than jumping into it by just saying "one year later."

We lost a year. To me that means we no longer are watching BSG, but rather a spin off of BSG.
