what is with so many people, particularly joss, being in love with battlestar galactica? i think it's freaking horrible. it sucks so much. the writing is awful, the acting wooden and lame, and the special effects suck. it's all around horrific.

Maybe you should go watch your "Golden Girls" reruns.

I'm sure there are a few people who might think Firefly is horrible, and they would be wrong about that too. Just because something does not appeal to you does not automatically mean it is not good. Granted, there have been a few weak episodes, but right now it's the best SF show on the air.

QFT. Battlestar is amazing. I really, really have a hard time believing someone could legitimately classify it as "horrible". It IS the best science-fiction show in a Firefly-less TV 'Verse.

Now now...don't go dissing the SFX for BSG, you logflogger! It's done by the same people who did Firefly and Serenity's effects. At least the vehcile and space effects..

I've only seen a handfull of episodes as my schedule hasn't allowed for much TV watching, but what I've seen is spectacular. The plots and sub-plots keep you involved and are intruiging.

The only BSG production that even remotely resembles your description is the mini-series. It was rather 2 dimentional.

At least the acting in BSG isn't as bad as the acting In Babylon five.

Does anyone else get the feeling that president Rosilin taught them in Elementry school.

Perhaps the people in this thread could let me in on something. Why do you feed the trolls?
