Battlestar Galactica Resurrection Effort Described

MistGhost writes "A background story of the effort, both by Richard Hatch, and Ron Moore to resurrect Battlestar Galactica (NYT link so remember to lie on their free registration). Now that the show has started it's second season (at least here in the States) this article appears. " I sat down with the Tivo last night and really enjoyed the premiere. I think the SG-1 retooling as real potential too- that show has been stale for a long time.

WTF - Strange

[Anonymous Coward]

I've watched a few episodes of the new Battle Star Galactica and I felt that it sucked hairy eggs with a straw. I can't even understand what the hell is going on.

What's with the guy and the porn star that no one else can see? WTF?

Then there Edward Jame Olmos. His semi comatose "acting" style may have been somewhat interesting on a trendy show like Miami Vice but, in BSG I'm constantly irritated by it. Spit it out Adama!!! Just say what you have to say already!

I don't get it.

New BSG 90210

[Anonymous Coward]

I watched a couple of episodes of the new BSG and its terrible. Terrible plot, terrible writing, really terrible acting etc. Its just 90210 in space. Who are the people in Hollywood putting out this trash like Zena, BSG etc etc.

I hate soap operas

[Kalvos]

I don't understand the trend to turn sci-fi shows into soap operas. At least when a ST:TNG plot was dull (or had kids in it), it was over in an hour. But the whole BSG story line is wretched stuff -- bad plot, bad acting, not to mention the same old bad science, and a dearth of Big Ideas.

SG-1 was (is) formula, but at least it doesn't have the pretentions of BSG. Babylon 5's contributions of a scruffy environment and credibly mean-spirited characters was a good one, even if it did use a long-term plot line.

Am I the only one who loathes BSG as a 'Young and the Restless' without the makeup?

Don't count your chickens yet..

The spoilier sites if correct are pointing to a BSG that may not be all that much fun to watch. I am real leery of this idea that cylon women really cannot carry children and that human hosts are required.

I was really waiting for Baltar to pick the baby up and have a lizard's tongue fork out! (V reference)

While the last season was generally good this premier episode left a lot to be desired. Too much was crammed into one hour. BG:Boomer is very quickly going to be redundant and should be spaced. Having the other Boomer take off breaks with her previous expressed concern over Helo and leads us further towards the baby hospital rumored to be coming. The character of the President is so confused that any writing done for her is incredulous as best.

Hopefully the next two episodes get this thing moving in the right direction.
