Lol, I'm seriously trying to get through that damn show but for every episode questioning what it means to be human, I have to sit through three about Starbuck being an alcoholic or Chief marrying the girl he beat the out of. There's so much angst in that show that I feel like I'm watching Twilight in space. |
Haha, I DID warn you that season 3 was pretty damned ordinary. its what happens when studio execs think they know what makes a good show. Fight your way through it, it’ll be worth it. season 4 (including razor) is a far more driven and directed affair, though sometimes still a little silly with regards to plot choices.
For me that’s my biggest criticism (other than “season 3 is !”). I think too many of the plot choices felt a little contrived, and had characters behaving more in line with what the show wanted, rather than what I felt might be their natural tendency. Still though, I can forgive the odd flaw when the camera work is so freakingly awesome! |

| Haha, sometimes I wonder if we're watching the same show. I love the philosophy involved - the question of what makes something human always gets me (I am probably the lone person who loved Kubrick/Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence). But Jesus, the production and acting is so... Canadian! |

Good to see that there are some original ideas coming out.  |
This is far from totally original, it basically sounds like Childhoods End. |

hahha, i wonder too :p
i loved spielberg's AI, except the end which was just downright awful. but yeah, i don't see what your beef with the BSG acting is. not always perfect of course, but i didnt find too much that rang hollow. every single one of admiral adama's lines is as close to perfection as we're ever likely to get!
edit: look, even ty season 3 receives "universal acclaim" :p

I agree. While the acting is far from perfect it's much better than what one would expect out of a sci-fi show (keep that in mind as well). The show isn't perfect but it's easily the best damn thing to happen to sci-fi television in a long time (unless you consider Lost to be sci-fi...which it kinda is, but also isn't).
I have to say that it also has one of the best series finales ever; which are extremely hard to do well. |

Which probably took off of Childhoods End, which was published 30 years before the show aired. |

Ha, well it's still in my queue. Though I do have to admit that just the fact that Gaius Mcforbrains survives to season 4 is a huge deterrent. God, that guy is a ponce. |

Nov 3..
And lez, stick with BSG. I agree Season 3 was the weakest one by far..but the payoff is worth it. Just sit down on your day off and knock it out in a viewing marathon so you can move on. |
