My personal rating, not worth very much :0)
(No spoilers, obfuscation used).
Up to the end of the end of Season 1, I think BS was at least an 9 in 10. Top rate, tense plotting in every episode.
Up to the end of the end of the ‘female Admiral arc’ I give BS an 8 in 10. Some tedious stuff, but mostly compelling drama.
Boots on the ground on NC. I got a terrible sinking feeling. Dull plots ripped from the headlines. Felt like “Iraq in space, but we’re the Muslims” if that makes any sense.
After that, right up to SE04 E10 ... no more than a 4 in 10.
The discovery scenes late in SE03 - I would be ashamed of including a ‘twist’ that lame and forced in anything I wrote.
And with a few very notable exceptions (Apollo at the trial scene and some snappy dialog between Roslyn and Adama) the dialog has been very flat.
Nice SE04 scene with Tory in the evac tube though: a real standout scene, which just pointed out the low dramatic quotient of the rest.
Just my opinion, others can disagree without prejudice.
yeah its dragging lately. I figure it has to pick up in the next 7-8 episodes or whatever is left.
what is NC?
I think the sentiment of this article proves that Battlestar Galactica was merely a reflection of the liberal mindset during George W’s presidency. From the 9/11 parallels to the New Caprica-Iraq war contrivances, Galactica was little more than a sci-fi window into the liberal mindset. The Cylons nuke Caprica and Adama has to publicly struggle to think of a reason for the human race to continue to exist.
Liberals were the ones who felt like a small renegade group fighting to survive against a powerful force of millions of identical drones with a scary religion that only had one god. Of course, once things started going and the day-to-day struggles so powerful in the beginning began to wane in favor of some kind of point, we find there really is none. And now all they can do is lash out at mommy and daddy aka Rosilyn and Adama.
