Flying Motorcycles < Rocket Pogo-sticks :O yes I went there Also, now I need to get caught up on this show, because I have in truth never seen a single episode. >.>
I don't get the hate for 1980. I loved it as a kid (and we saw Galactica and 1980 back to back constantly in NZ), and got to see the entire run again a few years ago on pay TV and loved it again. It was no more dodgy than any of the other shows around at the time or the few years before it - Incredible Hulk, Buck Rogers, Man from Atlantis, any of them. And in terms of story quality, it wasn't much different from the original series, either. More concessions to a smaller budget, but also less reuse of the same Viper fight and Raider sweep across Galactica that we saw umpteen million times. BSG, though, sad to see it end after series 4, but once they did the finale to 3, I thought bingo, next season is the end. I'm definitely looking forward to it, and any possible spinoffs they do (Caprica, for one).
At least they arent just going to extend it out like they did stargate. End it while it's still good.
Galactica 80 = up there amongst the forerunners for worst TV show ever. Looking forward to the fourth and final season, though - awful lot of loose ends to tie up!
Boo... though I suppose it better that they end it too soon rather than too late. Say... they could bring back Farscape! Whaddaya say Sci-Fi!
I loved BSG for the raw feel it had, and although it was DRASTICALLY different from the original I watched as a kid, I loved the look of it. I'm glad to see it ending so short and soon as it will be an awesome boxed set. I don't buy DVDs for TV shows UNTIL they are over as I have limited DVD space. I also have select shows on DVD, and BSG will be mine. I'm still waiting for SciFi channel to release Season 4 of Tripping the Rift on DVD and continue with Season 5 this fall. I don't know what it is with SciFi channel, but their DVD distribution and release is hit and miss.
While I'm very sad to see that BSG is going to be ending soon, I definately think it'll be for the better. Having it drug out for that many more seasons would dilute it's greatness far too much.
Gasp! BSG is doing a Walker, Texas Ranger and a Xena. Ending before it gets itself canceled! Amazing... Almost every Sci-Fi movie or TV Show has flying motorcycles in them (what they call them, however, is another story), doesn't make it cool. Anyhow, I stopped watching BSG when they killed Lucy Lawless. Injustice I tell you! Injustice! I finally got watch something with her in it (besides CBS B-movie "Locusts!" --- I missed "Vampire Bats!") post-Xena, using her New Zealand Accent, then she goes and gets her character killed. That sucks! Anyhow, I've seen a little of the elder BSG (whether its the one you speak of or another, assuming there was more than two out in the 80's) and I like this carnation better, despite the confusion that washes over me, given that I don't watch every episode unless it has the aformentioned actress in it.
Great so now they'll spend the season in a rush to tie up storyplots and flesh out this season's arc.
Y'know that she's still on the show right? It's a bit late for the general public to call it a spoiler but... She's a cylon. She just downloads to a new body. And since she's a Clyon there are more copies of her out there anyways.
Why does that sound like a cross between Stargate and Sliders. What will be after this, Stargate: Timelines, a cross between stargate and Quantum Leap. Not that I won't watch them, but still.
