Since we’re talking about the BSG reboot, where the hell did they get all the cigarettes from? Was there a ship with a cargo full of cigarettes that was part of the fleet or something?
I rewatched the BSG 2004 version and I had a though time getting through it. The beginning is so strong, but it goes downhill fast. At first it has ups and downs and then it just turns into only downs.
One thing I noticed this go around is the actor that does Apollo might be a good actor in other stuff, I don’t know, but in BSG he really does poorly. In most scenes he’s in he only has a few lines so he spends the entire scene just lurking in the background with the biggest smirk on his face. I don’t know if they were kidding around a lot on set, but it’s really off putting to see an emotional scene and have this dude with an idiot smirk on his face in shot. His character was also written poorly, as were most, but that’s not the actors fault. There are so many scenes with him where I honestly thought: Really, this was the best take? How rushed was this? Once you notice how poorly he’s doing, it kinda ruins a lot of the show.
Sad it doesn’t hold up, after such a strong start to the series.
Well you missed something really cool because NBC wouldn’t play ball. I wanted to do a radio drama podcast series which took place on a different ship in the fleet that had its own issues going on, but incorporating what was going on in the main series, including things like fleet-wide broadcasts by the president or Adama. Shipboard drama would have to work around original series plot points.
Tell me that wouldn’t have been great. I had the connections, but they turned me down. Oh well.
Yeah, the whole story for the show is running for their lives as the last of humanity, and dealing with what that requires. It’s so strong. Then this mostly stops being the focus and it’s so much weaker. I’d say after New Caprica is the turning point for where things feel off.
I’ll argue the Cylons fracturing and joining the humans has some good pieces to it, but overall things just get really boring when it’s no longer about surviving and instead just on moving forward.
Honestly, I’ve watched the show probably a half dozen times, and I typically have a great memory, but I can’t remember what’s going on at the end. I know the Cylons are working with the humans, they find Earth and it sucks, then… something, and the cycle restarts. I can’t remember what that something is.
There must be some kind of way out of here…
Which version are we going to see? The version with the worst finale possible or the version where they cheap out and do TNG 1990 with flying Wesley Crusher?
The ending of the 2004 version is so disappointing…
Really the whole final season, but the last episode especially. It’s because they literally had no plan on how to end it until they had to. I’m glad Moore has DS9 as a legacy to fall back on.
Data is looking in the wrong direction and it’s freaking me tf out
Are you imagining that they are looking into a mirror or something?
It gets worse the more I look!
It’s not a mirror. It’s two different points in time colliding.
He’s also on the other side of Riker. Almost like it’s not a mirror.
While their poses are similar so I could see you imagining a mirror, it’s clearly a door. Data would be in front of Riker if it was supposed to be a mirror.
Also their badges would not all appear on the same side of their uniforms.
There was that one episode where picard was duplicated and time reversed via temporal schenanigans…or was he really a cylon sleeper agent?
