Re: BSG is BS
I stopped watching the show a good while ago, when it went from spacebattles to people sitting around in the dark talking to themselves. Whats with the constant darkness anyway, can´t they pay their powerbill or something? Anyway, I stopped waching it, and don´t miss it even a little!

Re: BSG is BS
I still watch it - and I still love it. I like the mythology stuff, the talking, the lives, the religions... I don't care much for the war scenes, even though they can be interesting every once in a while. I'd say it's not as good as when it started, but it's still a pretty damn good show! And it's not completely dead yet. There are still ten episodes to be shown spring 2009. Right?

Re: BSG is BS
Hmm. Interesting. BSG is however fukin awesome. No "it used to be good but now it ain't"-bullshit. It has always been top notch, and it is still top notch. Go watch inane badly written crap like Heroes instead. /end rant

Re: BSG is BS
So say I not... Hi Mlin from Poland, your right i did post bullshit about BSG once or twice. I know you don´t share my opinion, but that´s ok with me. GOOD Sci-Fi in my opinion ? Let´s see... Alien 1-4, Next Generation, well theres more but i don´t recall right now. Btw, Sci-Fi books are good too :-) Think i read about several hundreds of them during the last 4 decades.

Re: BSG is BS
What i like in Sci-Fi is the opportunity to think different thaughts. Different models how mankind could work.

Re: BSG is BS
Dear Jpeg from Germany No, seriously, first of all I didnt say you wrote bullshit but that you said that bsg is bullshit - thats not the same. I mean, I don't go around and bash people without even knowing them. Second I also don't mind someone not liking BSG, but, what I do mind is when somebody says something and takes it for granted without proper argumentation. If I recall corectly you had an argument with TC about it some time ago. Take Arashi for example. He thinks more or less the same as you (I think) but he puts his words where his mouth is and I live with that perfectly well. What i like in Sci-Fi is the opportunity to think different thaughts. Different models how mankind could work.
You left me baffled. So exactly why dont you like bsg? It's exacly that... And even if it isnt what you would like it to be... it's as close as you can get (when taking TV shows, not books, independant cinema etc). Alien 1-4, Next Generation, well theres more but i don´t recall right now. Btw, Sci-Fi books are good too :-) Think i read about several hundreds of them during the last 4 decades.
Maybe not in hundreads, but I also had my fair share of reading. I did read some interesting books by Harrison, Herbert, Asimov etc (the first being my favourite, esp. the stainless steel rat - you have to love it!). And, of course, I know Lem. Though I don't like him that much. I covered his "Golem's monologues" (dunno if that's the proper title in English) and Solaris. Someday I'll probably get hold of Pilot Prixie and The Star Journals. Someday . and btw - Alien 3 sucks ass . The mood is superb (almost like in Giger's dream or something) but the theme change (from Aliens-commando-chick-Ripley to Solitary-Ripley-Schizophrenic) was something a) I did not expect, b) I did not like, c) was a good ending to the series (for that time), but a really boring one.

Re: BSG is BS
Dear mlin, i wrote that comment on BSG after watching an episode, S04E06 i think. I got mad, sorry for that. I don´t really think i bashed anyone ? Well, enough of that. Yeah, i might have my own stupid idealistic ideas about possible futures... And none of them include throwing people out of the airlock or forcing people to do slave-labor for the "Greater Good" ;-) Sorry. In my personal opinion, there´s an element of proto-fascism in BSG that i really hate. Had the same problem with "Star Wars", would you believe that... And yes, Alien2 was the best...:-) regards,

Oh for heavens sake, lets not force people to do slave work, that never happens! And death penalty? Nooooo way! ... I believe you're giving the human race too much credit :X

so why.. why do you still watch it? I mean, you dont have to listen chopin or wagner to credit them saying they changed music... just like bsg did change tv shows. The show puts the "p" in profound-tv-shows and you just cant argue with that, putting aside wheter you like bsg or not. If you sign "jpeg" under that, I'll draw out my "pax" flag

Hi mlin, i don´t ever listen to Wagner, think it´s BS, totally overrated and such. Chopin is nice, Mozart and Verdi too :-) But i like more bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Classic Rock Stuff... I still watch BSG cause i´m a SciFi-Fan...I DO remember the ORIGINAL BSG, which was a pain in the ass more or less. Don´t get me wrong, if you love BSG that´s perfectly okay with me. Jpeg
