I think you have to let the story line develop - you can't blow your load in the first 10 minutes ! You see the benelovent cylons become the enslaving monsters they are , the growth of the next step in cylon evelution in Sharron the laskity of the military even before they were attacked by the cylons , the vicious side of Tigh , all new stuff . let it work

I think they need to introduce more flying motorcycles into the current series - and perhaps kids with extraordinary strengths and abilities.

What I am trying to say is, they had a solid premis for a series and then they changed it. Why they changed it I don't know. But they did change it and now its not the same. I would say that I want them to go back too their roots but I know that won't happen.

Spoilers about the direction of the series.

The New Caprica arc only last five or so episodes, then it's back to the hunt for earth.

The next episode is called "Exodus Part 1".

END SPOILERS.

I suppose the question you have to ask yourself is, if this was not called battlestar galactica but a spin off series called "Resistence" or something, would you still sit down, watch and enjoy it? If the answer is "no", then fair enough. If the answer is yes, then does it matter? Good television is good television as far as I'm concerned.

I, for one, fail to see any inconsistency in the way the plot is going. Everything that has been done thus far is a logical extension of what came before. People had been cooped up on those ships for a long time, it was natural for them to want a place to settle down, whether or not that place was Earth. They didn't care, they just wanted solid ground beneath them, and so the writers wrote in a smallish storyline to go with the settling down and then the eventual relocation back up to the ships.

To me, it makes a lot more sense for people to want off the ships after a year or so of being stuffed in like sardines, than to be perfectly happy to stay on the ships, regardless of which choice would make more sense when it comes to the survival of humanity.

He is right about one thing for sure. It certainly is better than most shows even if its not what we expect, its a hell of a lot better than Deal No Deal. Good point. I shall shut the hell up now and enjoy it.

(Until next time that is.

What about when "Caprica" starts. It sopunds to me like a Dynasty clone.

Azselendor · #8 October 9th, 2006, 01:30 PM

Caprica is still in pre-production as far as I know, but I know they hired some experienced soap writers back in june according to some of the news sites I visit.

I full expect Caprica's big season finale to be "Who Shot Adama!"

BSG looks like it'll have a really kick-*** mid season finale from the spoilers.

Hey you know what I was saying about only watching Star Wars or BSG for the battles. Look at this
