There are a lot of shows I think suck. but I don’t waste my time watching them or whining about them on message boards.
There are a lot of things in life in general that we as people will dislike. Again, there’s no point in dwelling on them or filling ourselves with outrage over them. Especially if by ignoring them, they will effectively go away.
Buddy, the only whooshing I hear ain’t part of the show.
I like watching Scooby Doo, but sometimes have trouble telling the fat chick from the hippy dude. Should I watch BSG?
Starting in June, BBCamerica will be showing Battleship Galactica!
(If the OP wants something easy, perhaps he should watch Game of Thrones.)
Whoa holy shit. Out of every thread that’s ever provoked a holy shit response, this is the holy shittiest of them all. You all oughta be ashamed for not only liking this show, but defending it. I bet you all liked Ender’s Game too derisive snort
Clarifying: I do not think BSG is confusing
I am not confused by this show.
This show is not confusing
If I could use flashing sparkly text to explain to you people that I’m not whining about how confusing the show is, I would.
BSG is like diarrhea that gets sprayed in the bowl, on the tank, on the seat, on the floor and on the heel of your shoes. It takes a dozen or so slightly developed characters (if you count stapling them with stereotypes like “the plucky pilot” as character development) and shits them out across a solar system, each to wallow in their own independent retardation. Meanwhile, all this fucked up stuff concerning the end of humanity is going on, stuff that I actually want to see the story address, but I’m supposed to be caring about why some navigator chick we’ve only see talk to one other person is now making out with a dude she’s only seen once and we’ve only seen talk to one other person.
I’m capable of understanding that the butch girl, or stereotypical ace fighter, has to contend with some grudge against a commander, has to contend with the return of a former lover, has to contend with being caught at starting trouble while having to fly several harrowing missions in the same episode. But I’m not able to care about all that shit plus similar amounts of convolution for each of the main characters.
I didn’t start this thread to defend my position. Ideally me and people who didn’t like BSG would bash it while the fans sat back and took it. You people need to feel worse.
I’m really trying to feel worse. I am. Damn, now I feel bad that I’m not feeling worse.
:shakes fist: Damn you Walmarticus!
No flashing sparkly text necessary. All that is necessary is to not whine about how confusing the show is.
Just trying to help you out, dude.
You think it’s bad now? By the end of the series the the same actors/actresses are playing multiple copies of the exact same character, each with their own backstory and feelings and goals.
I never said the show is confusing. It’s convoluted and terribly disjointed. The characters are confusing, in a why-the-fuck-would-they-do-that sense and not in a who-the-fuck-is-that sense.
I see. So your problem is that you just don’t like science fiction.
Wow, and you learned the show sucks after watching two whole episodes?
You know what I do about shows I don’t like? I don’t watch them. And when people get on the internet to talk about those shows I don’t like? I don’t participate.
So I can only think of one or two reasons to start a thread about how much a particular show sucked and how people who enjoyed the show suck.
Sounds like the original BG is more your speed. Plus, it had that guy from Bonanza!.
This line made me laugh before, this line will make me laugh again.
I’ve been watching a few archived episodes lately. Scar, Exodus, the episodes with the Pegasus. I’m pretty sure the OP’s wrong, and that Battlestar Galactica does not suck.
Two episodes is a couple hours. Not too long, but long enough to know that if real characters haven’t appeared, it’s pretty hopeless. And, If you didn’t want to hear criticism, you shouldn’t have participated in my thread, titled as such.
The show also sucks because I immediately fell madly in love with the butch girl and she didn’t play a prominent enough part.
They probably came in expecting legitimate criticism. Plus, this is the Dope. You ahve to be able to make fun of someone for having what you consider a dumb reaction.
Serious reply: BSG is an epic saga type of show. Much is introduced initially to give you the feel and scope of the universe you have just entered into. It’s meant to be somewhat chaotic and disjointed initially, as many of these people were thrown together in just that chaotic and disjointed manner.
Over time threads are more fully developed and intersect in unexpected ways. Story lines creep up and fall behind and individual stories are developed. The beginning is meant to pique your tastebuds, so you care a bit about these characters as the plot moves along.
It may not be your cup of tea, no worries. But it is purposeful and stylistically planned, not a mistake.
STARBUCK doesn’t play a prominent enough part??!? Wow. Yeah, give up now.
Yeah, don’t watch the rest of the series. She just fades away, never really doing anything interesting. DO NOT WASTE any more of your time watching this horrible show.
