If anyone on Earth had half a brain; they blow all that drek out of the sky.
Skiffy had a marathon on all day Friday. God what a bad show. Bad directing, bad writing, bad acting, bad production; just plain bad.
I've been watching SciFi since the 60's, and I've seen better B flicks in B&W than this crap.
Too bad too. The franchise had a lot of potential to be redone right, but now that prospect has been totally destroyed by the MooreRon.
Well...that is why it is called freedom of choice and we all have different opinions. My opinion is you are crazy and wouldn't know good TV if it fell off the shelf and hit you in the head.
This is a great show. You want to see bad acting? Watch Star Trek TOS. Its still a great show...but some of the acting is horrible (especially by Shatner). Babylon 5...another popular show...one I can't watch because of the acting. BSG has great acting.
Yeah, Friday night's episode was really, really awful.
Dark, depressing, nihilistic, hopeless.
Yuck.
And also senseless bordering on nonsensical - they blew so many massive holes in the plotline that I don't see how they can possibly put the thing back together again.
I was hoping that maybe they had put some thought into it, but then I glanced at this interview with Ron Moore:
http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/01/final-fifth-cylon-ellen-tigh-battlestar-galactica-dualla-dee-.htmlAnd pretty quickly it became clear that they are just winging it without any idea of what they're doing or where they're going with it.
Definitely. I guess I should count myself among the lucky that I got to see Richard Hatch's 4-minute proposal for his BSG Next Generation series back at an old I-Con in Stony Brook, Long Island. Shame that they couldn't make it. They had some of the actors, Lorne Greene as a hologram dispensing wisdom, the last few minutes of footage even filmed of Jon Colicos (against a green screen, so it could be edited) and Count Ibley doing the narration. Damn. Sweet.
