OT: Season 3 BSG

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 agree with AT - the new season starts off with a total bust !!!

Lee has no backbone, but plenty of middle. Adama has become a hippie who suudenly decides to get a backbone. Baltar's still the biggest waste of humanity ever, and the "Resistance" pretty much consists of a lot of talk and a few grief-stricken suicide bombers they take credit for.

And Kara is a joke. One minute she's tough as nails, the next she's holding hands with a Cylon who took her ovary in the first place. There's a ton of holes that just make no sense, and don't seem to be worth the writers or anybody else's efforts to fix.

I really thought they were heaeded somewhere cutting edge with this series, but now it's just Bagdad vs. the Bots.

The one and only clever piece in all of this was that the Organic Cylons limited the programming of the mechanical Cylons, to prevent them from becoming self-aware and realizing what a crap situation they had, yet again.

Actually that is a good point... IF one of more of the tin cans is siding with the oppressed humans against the organic cylons (re: the unseen ending of the premiere, foreshadowed by the 'self aware' dialog AND the tin can turning to look at the conflicted-suffering human cop outside the cylon building) THEN something interesting might be developing.
