Battlestar Galactica, how I miss thee.

I really tried to get into BSG, but couldn’t quite make it. The characters just weren’t that compelling to me - although I only made it maybe halfway through the first season, plus a few later episodes that sparked my interest in the first place.

Does it get better? Is the first season a pretty good indicator for the rest of the show? The space combat is incredible… the endless building-the-character’s-humanity, not so much.

Did you see the miniseries? I can’t imagine jumping into the first season without having seen it first.

I loved the first couple of seasons, but I got increasingly frustrated as the show progressed. I don’t like mysticism mixed in with my science fiction. I’ll watch the upcoming episodes only because the show is ending.

Agreed.

So do I, but the fraking show hasn’t been on since 1979.

Yeah, my SO and I are also in withdrawals missing this show. Every couple weeks or so one of us will wistfully ask the other “When will the new BSG episodes be back??” “I think sometime in January” the other will say.

Haven’t found anything else that fills the void.

I, too think that we will be in for quite a treat with these last episodes. Everything I’ve read says that the cast was blown away by the final installments.

Anyone heard if there will be any marathons heading up to the new episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel in January??

I heard that after the series ends, there’s going to be a miniseries about the Final Five, filling in the blanks from the time before the series started. So we will get a bit more after the show ends. I’m pretty excited about that.

Caprica (spoilers there) will tell the story on how the skinjobs were originated. Plus, I thought we were promised some webisodes in the fall, like Razor from last year…

And I don’t think the series left them moping about on Earth, either. It may be Earth, but the last time we saw Earth we were presented with a familiar view of the western hemisphere so as to remove all doubt. Not so this time. I think Mr. Moore is playing tricks with our brains.

The fact is, the reason we saw that was because they feared American’s would not recognize a different shot. I believe it was in the podcast as such. This is earth, I am sure of it

When is it ever easy with JMS, lol

As for the lost tales , I will definitely check that out , thanks.

I’d advise against it. They were pretty godawful IMO.
