Re: Battlestar Galactica II (No Joke)
Has anyone ever noticed that the "Battlestar" Galactica is really just an aircraft carrier under a thin veneer of SciFi gadgetry? I mean, the vipers defy space physics by banking and turning in curves as if they had atmosphere to lean on, and they have to 'land' on the decks as if there was gravity out there. Now even if you accept that there is internal artificial gravity how do they enter this 'artificial' gravity so abruptly as we see them do in the landing sequences? They just glide into this huge open hatch and land as if they were planes on a carrier deck. If there really was a gravity field inside the ship they'd hit it like a wall and suddenly bang down on the deck. It's downright bizarre if you care anything about scientific realism or even consistency.
As interesting as certain aspects of BSG were, it was pretty cheesy. But then BSG 1980 was too awful for words...
