The new Battlestar Galactica: Yea or Nay?

Poll question: The new Battlestar Galactica: Yea or Nay?

What say you, Lounge?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. Yea, then nay.

In that order.

[JTG of the PRB]

2. Interesting choice.

I've heard it before. I don't agree, but that's what opinions are all about, I suppose.

Or something? :shrug:

[Deja Q]

3. Wait until Sci-fi revamps Buck Rogers...

:scared:

4. Once again, the Lounge does not disappoint.

At least, not YET.

5. It's good because it takes the subject seriously

And it's attempting to be a social discussion on our times

6. The best part is that I can't always tell if they're TRYING to do that.

They do an excellent job of having some of their characters encounter similar situations we see in our world today - sometimes from the Other view point (i.e., the suicide bombings at the beginning of Season 3).

I'm excited for Season 4.

9. It's intentional but it's not beating you over the head with it

and yeah, the way they turn it on its ear and all of a sudden you see something from a different perspective, it's awesome. It's complex and interesting and I LOVE it.

11. That's the REAL reason I love this show so much.

Yeah, the effects are awesome, the story telling is brilliant, and the acting is, at times, vert nicely done, but what really does it is how they really manage to flip perspectives we might hold and stand them on their heads.

I'm bummed that Season 4 will be the last season, but they sure know what they're doing. Still, I'd rather see the series end quickly than watch it drag on and on and on for longer than it should.

7. One more kick for the night, for a large sample.

'Cuz I'm off to bed!

[JTG of the PRB]

8. 'Nother self-indulgent kick.

I KNOW there are at least a could sci-fi buffs out there...

10. crap! did we miss the season premier??

:banghead:

[JTG of the PRB]

12. Nope! Not yet!

The special 2-hour made-for-TV movie "Razor" premiers on November 24. Season 4 begins either at the end of January or early February.

13. ok good

hubby woulda been BUMMED!

my favorite scifi tv is still Babylon 5. BG is OK but too soap opera-ish for me.
