STARGATE and BSG

Iron Giant · #1 July 19th, 2005, 02:12 PM

I never got into the SG series. When a friend told me he loved the show, I tried but I'm too far behind and don't get the references, so I've written it off.

BSG is ok but there are no good guys. Everyone is a jackass to everyone else when it suits them so I just don't care much if they live or die.

I grew up watching the originals and this new one has taken the nobility of purpose out and replaced it with a flippant, arrogant attitude. "Don't frack with me", "oh yea? Don't frack with me!" Oh yea, yea!??!, Don't fracking frack with my fracking blah, blah, blah, blah

I'm holding on to my interest in it by a thread bare string, and only because its the only SciFi I have right now. If they take a step off center or something else comes along, I'm done.

Ehh... excuse me guys, but what is BSG?

Battlestar Galactica.

Aha, thanks for the translation.
Hmm... I must say I doubt if it is as good as the people here tell us. I do trust them, but I'm very sceptical. I've seen some episodes of the of Battlestar Galactica and I didn't like it at all, save for the miniskirts and the Cylons.
Thumbs up for the miniskirts!

Yeah, thats the nature of Sci-Fi, you either like it or you don't. Everyone has different tastes. I do agree with Iron Giant though, they are all jackasses and they swear alot (yes, they change a few letters around, but the meaning is still there), but I'm still enjoying the show.

For some reason Timstone I saw you had posted here and Expected something along those lines.

Not that I disagree with your humble viewpoint what-so-ever.

BSG is too confusing to watch just one episode. You have to watch several episodes before you actually get what's going on, and start enjoying it. On Stargate SG-1, you love it instantly, or you don't.

Love SG-1, not really sold on Atlantis but continue to watch, although it is cool that Earth now has 2 spaceships. I like Claudia Black's character alot (well, OK, I just like Claudia Black). I'll have to wait on Ben's character to see if he winds up being a clone of O'Neill or not. While I have several issues (far too many & take too long to discuss) with BSG, I am coming around. It's really well-crafted, but they fracked with the story too much from the original to put it mildly. Towards Iron Giant's point, I think they are trying to make Apollo the "hero".

Hahaha... Thanks man!

Don't forget to tune in an hour earlier Friday because Sci-Fi will be showing Firefly. Man, talk about 4 hours of good television.
