Did I mention that we finished the BattleStar Galactica series last week and that it was a lot of fun? At some point I stopped wondering about the 13th Tribe, or how Sam’s skin didn’t get all wrinkled in the bath. Other questions that came to mind afterwards were:
* Why would Adama want to build a cottage on the edge of that lonely plateau.
* Gais becoming a farmer with that “city girl 8” in tow? Preposterous!
* How stupid to drive all your interplanatary vehicles into the sun. What if those local aboriginals proved hostile and you wanted to escape again?
On the whole, I enjoyed the series, and I’ve been told by Ash that BSG is WAY superior to all other Sci-Fi out there, but I couldn’t help but gag regularly on the platitudes and the overacting.
I was so so happy that Kara and Lee didn’t get together in the end; I was even pleased that Adama didn’t want him to hang around either. Lee was easily the most irritating character in the show, followed by Gais and the Chief. It was fitting he was left alone in the end.
We’re onto Flight of the Conchords season 2 next.
I hope I don’t start a nerd war with that comment! Then again I would be happy to hear about a sci-fi series that’s as good as BSG. I guess Firefly was pretty awesome but it’s a bit more exotic than your typical jumpsuits in space serial.
Certainly the various Stargates, Star Treks, Babylon 5s and the like are way cheesier.
I hope Tom H doesn’t read this. I’ll be kicked out of the club.
It’s true that BSG is quite heavy-handed in parts, but overall it was a breath of fresh air compared to practically everything that came before it.
I guess I watched too mnay movies growing up, for some reason I was “why dont they just use a controlled EMP on cylons to determine if they are in fact cyborgs”
All in all enjoyed the series, now were off to watch season 8 of Family Guy (its low brow but cant help loving it).
