catching up on BSG (no-spoilers thread)

I'm a few episodes into the second season and holy fuck I love this show

i really tried to get into it but i don't like it very much. plus, cylons just remind me of skrulls.

From what I have seen, it's a decent show and I kinda like it, but the story isn't very original.

Humans vs. Robots.
Yay...

Nonetheless, I'm downloading every episode ever made as we speak.

while BSG's simplified form of the story can be broken down to the very basic "human vs robot" equation, I hope the difference is understood that the most basic, ideological premise of a story isn't always representative of the whole. coming from someone who watches House, a show that can be labeled just as easily as "medical drama", which can obviously off-put some people, your defense of it as much more than that stands just as validly concerning BSG. without either of you watching it long enough to see any story arc develop, it's blind-sighted to simply write it off like that

I'd also like to point out that I enjoy House, but because of the complexity of the character interaction and well-written dialogue rather than the "story". like QY said, it's the issues that the stories bring to light and deal with rather than the broken-down and over-analyzed actions taken to advance a plot line

the only problem that i have with BSG is it drags for me. i honestly think the script could be better. it's like...it's good...but i feel like it's missing something.

no YOU'RE missing something, it's called GOOD TASTE

Best show, with the worst name. If you can get passed the title and the use of the word "frak" istead of fuck (i mean hey, it's sci-fi channel), you'll be amazed at how good it gets.
The whole idea of man versus machines isn't a new concept. From the Terminator movies, to the books "1984", any "Foundation" book, and "Player Piano", the initial idea has been done over and over. What sets this one apart from those is everything is done in a very low "sci-fi" style. No lasers, teleporter's, or gey scince fictiony space uniforms. I'm a major dork for this show and totally recommend it to any noobs getting in to it.

cory convinced me to re-try curb your enthusiasm, and jeff, sir, you have convinced me to try this one out as well.

IT'S SO GOOD

we will see.

AND IT'S GETTING BETTER

the reason I didn't post much today was because I was completely engrossed in BSG

I finished season 2 and I'm starting season 3

season 3 is kind of lame but still good

from a complete outsiders mouth, i heard season 3 dived

the dialogue sucks and the plotlines are all really bad now, i'm sticking with it though

that's because you are not a fairweather fan. thank goodness.

Remember in Battlestar Galactica when Gandalf took the one ring to mount doom?! That was my favorite episode.

one cannot simply pilot a battlestar into mordo

Well, you just probably never saw that one. Only Jim and I did.
