Battlestar Galactica
This show is better than I thought it would be. In fact, it's pretty spectacular so far. I watched the miniseries, and I just finished the first season.
The acting in this show is superb, and the writing is pretty great. Really didn't think I would like this show at all when watching the first episode. I watched it, didn't have a clue what was going on, and then found out the miniseries told what was happening. So, I watched it, decided it wasn't that bad and kept watching. Now though, I am hooked. I have been in a sci-fi mood lately, what with completing Mass Effect and wanting more, so this show was just what I needed. The ending to season 1 was incredible, and I hope the show continues to be good the rest of the way through. Anyone else watch this show? ![]() |

Yes, it is quite good.
Unfortunately the second half of Season 3 and first half of Season 4 are rather lackluster in comparison to the first 2 and 1/2 seasons. However Season 4 Part 2 (final season and which is currently airing) is pretty kick ass. All in all a good show and wish it wasn't ending. |

The main thing that surprised me about this show is the acting. I honestly thought it would be really cheaply made, and that the actors would be horrible because of it. It is very good though, and the story is very engaging.

Yeah it gets wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. S2 is phenomenal. And at the moment barring a weak episode here or there they seem to be finishing out on a terrific run.

I liked the first half of series 4.
I haven't seen the second half yet of series 4 (series 5), as I am waiting until it is released on DVD in June, but I'm looking forward to it. |

Fantastic show, took me a bit to get into it when it first came on (since I missed the original mini-series) but I absolutely adore it now.
I was never a huge fan of the old series, but I really love how they've taken the same basic concept and made it work way more convincingly. Only 4 more episodes to air in the UK, plus The Plan TV movie.

Fucking serious right now. Last Friday's episode really caught everyone off guard.
Also, it needs more Mark Shepard. Love this guy but he found his home on Leverage, and he's probably all done. |

I love the show, but I kinda lost interest after the big reveal about Earth. I feel like they blew their load too early, and now don't really have any direction until the show winds down.

You should only hate Nowhere Man.
Unless you somehow consider YOUR Hero being a skinjob to be a spoiler. |

Well, that would be that, apparently. I'm still kinda iffy on the ending (I felt the third act in particular dragged a good bit), but overall I'm satisfied.

I cried twice, and Baltar's last emotional line caught me way off guard, and might be my favorite moment in the series. Very very touching on so many levels.
I'll have to sit on it for a bit to think about things they might have left open, but I think they did a fairly good job with putting a period on everything. |

Held back a lot of tears last night. And more than just "the truth" got answered. I hope alot of the cast shows up in some new shows or movies. If this show doesn't up their stock, I don't know what does.
However, only one or two things got left open. But then again I just might have missed it. It's not over quite yet. Did you catch the preview for "The Plan"? |

Nope. Last night was it. "The Plan" is a 2-hour movie coming up in the fall about what made the Cylons think up nuking the 12 colonies. I think E.J.O. is directing, but I'm not sure for certain.
However, they showed a preview of Caprica last night. However, I think it ain't gonna reach the bar this show set. |

In this "The Plan" episode, i'd like to see the cyclon homeworld. We never saw it in the series (unless for some reason it appeared in the final 10 episodes, in which case don't tell me).

The bit with
SPOILER: show They left one or two things open to interpretation. For me they maybe wrapped things up a little too neatly - but it was still very good. With this gone and having recently gone through The Wire in 6 weeks I've got nothing left to watch

Amazing.
I've been ignoring everything BSG related until I got time to watch the final episode. SPOILER: show I guess Tom Cruise has been right all along... Last edited by Downunder; 03-25-2009 at 08:35 PM. |

Finally finished the final series. It was some epic shit. I never saw what was coming in terms of what Hera was, except being the hope for the human/cylon race. Least we finally found out what the Six in Baltar's head was.
I'm going to miss it. Hopefully Caprica will be able to be as engrossing as BG, even though I doubt it will be able to match it. |

Is there going to a region 2 release of this, as so far there doesn't seem to be any release date.
