OK,
Maybe someone's interested maybe they ain't but I am because I stuck through this for 4 whole series ... now I wonder why?
I've been watching Battlestar Galctica (the reimagined series with Edward James Olmos as Admiral Adama and with humanoid Cylons) and I've been watching the last half of Season 4 which, whilst not dire, was very depressing dealing with a rebellion/mutiny which could, quite frankly, have been covered in one, maybe 2, episodes ... lots of in corridor scenes, person to person stuff and not a whole lot of FX/action. The impression many of us fans were beginning to get was that they were saving their FX for one huge f*** off finale ... a finale I have now seen and, it has to be said, that I pretty much hated!
The following is a summary (SPOILERS, be warned):
In short it was tiresome, it was dull and I wish they had just left them on the shattered “Earth” half-way through the series and I stuck it out (through the dire latter half of season 4) because I figured the last episode HAD to be good ... in many ways it made me wonder why I bothered with the damned series at all.
I asked my friend who watched it with me what he would have done ... simple ....
... and so, my blood-thirsty lust for space action, death & destruction would have been sated and I would have gone home a very happy man.
As it was I couldn't (still can't) see the point of it and in many ways it completely invalidate the earlier much better episodes much like the appalling sequels cheapened the first "The Matrix" film.
Oh well!
