I used to really like Battlestar Galactica
Sunday, April 27th, 2008“Desslock” at the Quarter To Three forums sums up why I don’t anymore:
I preferred the very beginning of the series, when it was more of a science fiction/disaster film/military survivalist series, and wish they hadn’t brought in and gradually expanded the supernatural elements and mysticism. Although even that is preferrable to some of the goofy “let’s pretend we’re not in a survival situation under military protection” to rationalize goofy episodes to be include analogues to our elections, press, media, entertainment, and current events almost like a Law & Order episode would. The military/shoot-em-up/revenge or escape the Cylons aspects of the show are long gone, to the point where once lead characters like Adama have been literally reduced to playing nurse.
Now all that’s left is self-loathing for not being able to just stop watching the stupid thing.
