OT: Battlestar Galactica Final Season

[AngleWyrm]

When Lost first came on, I watched it for maybe a season and a half. I lost interest for the same reason that my desire to watch Battlestar Galactica waned: Lack of melody.

Each episode introduced a new sine wave to the overall hum of the plot, a new instrument playing, a new ball tossed into the air. But these many braids did not weave together a beautiful and coherent tapestry; what should have become a grand orchestra became a cacephony of introductions, each coming on stage, and then fading into the din of possibilities for later.

So I listened to the flute one minute, then the violin, then the electric guitar, but as each took the stage the rest stopped playing. And the hope that they would present together a beautiful melody was lost to the ravages of time.

I like LOST. I find it interesting in a MYTH kind of way.

Poetic.

i found space and beyond to be very interesting the first half of the season. "They" wiped out a colony. Well who are they? what do They know? Who even are they? How do we match up? I thought that was half way realistic if we ever meet others in space, reminds me of the 1st time I played SEIV

The thing that hurt EOaB was their budget. They had the acting skills, the stories were weak but again that was do to budge constraints.

The series that I would have liked to have seen a full five years of was Crusaders.

Crusaders or Crusade ?

[Azselendor]

Crusade was cut down by TNT who wanted to avoid Babylon 5 happening again, instead they wanted a more accessible, easy to understand, show that featured the captain getting the babe every evening.

That defines what happened to Andromeda, ironically.

Hey, AT, what's wrong with a time booth time traveler? I admid I wasn't too interested in the original show when I was a kid (with half hour episdoes and never finding a consistent time to watch it), but when they started showing the complete episdoes, that got my attention and my viewing time. I liked the first new Doctor on this new show, but not being to watch the show now and not being able to buy the dvd sets, I'll pass judgement for now.

I missed the first season of Lost, and was getting into the second season when American Idol happened that year and I couldn't watch the last few episdoes. now I have no interest in the show. I loved Heroes, but d&#n NBC wouldn't reschedule the show against 24, and Jack Bauer won out. I'm planning on buying the dvd set of Heroes when it comes out, hopefully this summer. And I hope that BSG is worth the wait, as I'll have to wait for the dvd set also.
