I am currently watching season 2 of Battlestar Galactica (over halfway through). Gets better, but seems like for every episode not up to par with the rest, it needs a couple to get back on track... Although I dig the doctor!
Cool. Battlestar Galactica is the best show on TV if you ask me. I just hate them for splitting the final season so we'll have to wait until 2009 to see the conclusion, which will be AWESOME. They're also making a bunch of BSG films that develop the story a bit. Like Razor, they supposedly take place a while back in the storyline.
Oh and they're creating a new series called Caprica. It's about two families, the Greystones and the Adamas, who you've probably heard of, and how the Cylons came to be. I think it looks really, really good. But then I'm really into dramas.
Hmm, sounds cool.
Now I only got two episodes left on season 3... I'm kind of indifferent to this show. Don't know why. It has many good moments and things going on, but also a lot of stuff could have been cut out. I thought the doctor was stinking cool in the first season. Now, he's just plain dull.
I also feel that the show isn't really going somewhere. The storyline is exactly the same through every season: They wanna find earth and they jump away when the cylons arrive. The only things being a bit of a change was when they found Kobol, when they settled on New Caprica, when Starbuck exploded... well, that's pretty much it.
What I think drags the show down is the poor picture quality and the way the show is being filmed. Especially when cameras are shooting inside Galactica. It's almost like you have to struggle to really grasp everything that's going on, the entertainment factor. I really think a science fiction show like this needs the kind of clear picture quality found on "Prison Break" and "Lost". It also needs chnage in environment, as the grey walls inside the Galactica get a bit tired after awhile... But then again, sometimes the show is great and it's just great to watch it, then a couple of episodes kick in and you wonder: what the fuck happened here?
Also strange is that it seems the more I'm watching, the more I'm not surprised by the things that 's happening. Another thing is the characters. Usually when you've seen three seasons of a show, you should be well aquianted with the characters. But in this case I'm not. And I remember already in the second epidode of the first season they were out looking for water. Why the heck not build up a real and solid storyline first, to back up both the show and the characters!? Now, that's beyond me...
Wow, holy shit! That's almost like a review! Didn't mean to write THIS much....
I saw you all were finished with discussing Battlestar Galactica, but needed to get it off my chest... Still, not a bad show.
