Ah I found a friend lets go eat some chicken wings together. BSG was only good when Starbuck had balls.

The show was once very good, it once was top rated but now the ratings have fallen like a rock. Yet still Univseral have been a lot more loyal to BSG than Faux folk were ever with Firefly.

RDM is a very talented writer and the show has some wonderful director like David Eick. Battlestar Galactica was a great show - If you are watching any of the garbage that is Season-3, then it is likley you are watching a horrible re-imagined version of a re-imaged BSG ( which was once a top show). Go back and watch the mini ( the pilot movie ) or download Season 1 to see what once was a great show. Starbuck wasn't so messed up back then, sure she was 'fraked-up' but at least as a pilot she got to do great things once in a while. Now her character is just a Slutbuck, who goes around getting her buddies killed and slacks on the job. The actress Katee has had some issues over the summer about her character, this 'issue' was more than just the hair and more about what kind of road Kara would go down, a lot of folk weren't sure what see was on about back then but now many understand what she was saying.

The show has started to 'jump the shark' - the Re-imagined of the Re-imaged include : Admiral Adama who lost his cojones, Roslin's cure by Cylon juice, Anders the idiot who married a tramp, Dee the victim who will next be seen in torn raggy clothes scrubbing the Decks of Galactica while her prince goes to the prom, Kara StarDrunk Thrace, Cylons that are no longer bad and scary but instead take part in menage à trois threesomes, Colonial suicide bombers, Lee Adama the punchbag (aka JarJar Adama), Helo the hippie, Tigh the pirate who doesn't have a peg-leg.

Just check the pics on the websites - Yes, it's jumped the shark tank like Fonzie.

Even the die-hard BSG fans ain't happy about the show's direction in the third season.

Season 1 and 2 kicked ass.

Season 3... meh

Season 3.5... hoping for better.

strokingmypeter...... UberPUD. We should all get together and chip in to get him a glass stomach so he doesn't bump into everything walkin around with his head stuck so far up his ass.

I shit on the floor and most people would call it shit... hell, even I'll call it shit, but you can bet your ass there'll be flys and bacteria all over that shit pretty damn quick. Go watch your Star Wars and play with your legos and let the adults watch Battlestar. Maybe you'll get it when you're older.

Jayneztown what are you trying to do kill me. I just choked on a chicken bone. I am in to the os cheese factory cause its good. When I watch the new BSG all I want to do is jump in the shower. I feel dirty. If they jump into earth system I say we turn the lights out come on. Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer were all good shipmates. Adama and Tye were man's man with leadership. A sense of family ties with blue sqd, gold sqd, red sqn. on and on. I feel like our officiers are Jackasses. It needs cleaning up. Ya know the human race is on the line.

Me personally, I have liked BSG. The first two seasons were good, the first part of this season was so-so for me. Some weak episodes, but for the most part it has been good so far. Looking forward to the second half of the season.

I do not watch it because it is the only thing on. I would turn the television off and read a book before I would watch bad tv, even bad sci fi.

To be honest, so far for me the weakest episodes were in Season 2.

Sure, the characters have all become more and more "fracked up" but thats only to be expected with what they've been through?

What im seeing is a more human portrayal of a situation, rahter than the standard Sci-Fi heroes who come out of such tramatic situations without the slightest hint that they've been affected, what we're seeing is a crew becoming more and more unstable and unable to function because they're not handling the extremes that they're going through.

I'll admit that the acting has gotten a bit wooden here and there, but you really can't fault the writing because your heroes are showing some humanity once. For me, that very quality is what I liked about Firefly. The fact that the characters were human, not some unbeatable heroes. Things can get to them, and i've enjoyed watching Starbucks downfall as she struggles to cope with her emotions and the termoil she's in.

does anyone remember the original....? i thought that was a pretty lame piece of work - and i suppose that's jaded my view of the new BSG a bit - i tried to watch it - honestly - i can't say i'm a fan - as far as the 'best sci-fi on tv'.... that's not saying much, as there is very little of that genre on the air these days...

WOW. Someone isnt able to form actual opinions!

BSG is a great show. Although lately i think the plot is getting a little convoluted. But you made no good points and this was a worthless rant.

I think I oughta change my login to NO POLITICS!
I 'm just here to have fun and to help the cause(in my own special way).
that bein said, I don't particularly like BSG, but I do have to give props for being visually interesting, at times.
I also find the "Poster" (I refuse to use his vulgar login name) to be overly blunt and crass and would like to say "you're bringin' us down, Man!"
