Hate to bust in on the haze fest but I still think that the new BSG is the best scifi on TV right now and that the original sucked a fat one. I haven't seen razor yet (yes I know it hasn't technically come out but its already on the net) so I can't judge how it is but I've heard its amazing.

However, I am disappointed that they think this movie gives them the excuse to wait a full year to continue the damn show and that none of the cities they're releasing it in are remotely close to the ENTIRE SOUTH EASTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES!!!! Come on, Atlanta's a big town, show some love....

I'm agreeing with DerangedMilk here - the new BSG is still one of the best shows (top 3) currently on television (though I do have a certain fondness for the original, too).

Yes, some of the latest episodes are certainly weaker than the first season's, but look how high they set the bar to begin with. And I'll say they have been getting a bit pretentious, trying to shock just for the sake of being shocking. But they aren't afraid to try new things, and usually they pull it off. The dialogue is NOT inane and predictable (unlike, IMHO, EVERY other original series currently on SciFi channel - how many times can you stand to listen to people on SG Atlantis say "We're talking about so-and-so's LIFE here!" without cringing?), the storylines and subplots are engaging if not always successful (Lucy Lawless' character's suicide-and-rebirth fetish) and the visuals are better than some movies my son has made me take him to the theatres to see lately. Now, if they could throw in a joke at least once every other episode.....

And are they boycotting the Southeast with the Razor screenings?? Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham... we have people who'd pack a theatre in any of those. OK, maybe not PACK, but at least put in a good showing!!

the 'new' BSG is absolutley the Bees Frackin' Knees..
every show has ups and downs - but it eats all the CURRENT sci-fi shows alive.

dull and depressing - i didn't find it so - ithink it's dark, intelligent - willing to take risk and for once NOT BLAND entertainment. It aint all perfection - what show is but..


oh yeh also - ratings schmatings - it kicks monkey ass!:) and Glen A Larson - ah c'mon - go check the prodcution history of the guy... oh and he did manimal and automan too - and maybe, streethawke! GHA! classics!
he PUSHED for Galactic80!!! yadda yadd crimes against tv too numerous to mention - but the original BSG had (despite flaws) a great technical and creative crew and a likeable cast - THEY made it.

ps premire in theatres before tv...?
that might a way for sernity ii...???
