I don't think you're going to see anyone agreeing with you on any of that. Maybe you reached a "level of suck" that didn't allow you to appreciate how good battlestar has been. It has it's flaws but there's no other TV show that comes close, and very very few movies.

Yeah, it got a little meh towards the end of season 3. But season 4 (both the first and second halves) picked the show back up, I think.

I'm very much enjoying the second half of season 4.. the proverbial "sh*t hitting the fan" everywhere!

It should be said that I've yet to see all of the second part of season 4, since.. well.. it's not out yet.

I still watch it, because the show has -some- merit, the story overall is pretty cool. But damn, there's absolutely no logic in the actions of.. well.. anyone. If this was only one or two persons, like Gaius Baltar it'd be ok. I mean, he's a coward and an opportunist - he's not supposed to be logical or always make sense.

Other decisions are made under duress and chaos - desperate moves. But after whatever spur of the moment sparked 'situation X', the issue is never raised again until a moment of conveniance arrives.

Bah, I say! Bah!

I don't know about you, but I loved the first war battle with young Bill in Razor.

The battle of Galactica and Pegasus versus Base Stars and Resurrection ship (in the aptly named Resurrection Ship pt2) in Season 2 was awesome, as well as the Nebula battle in the season 4 opener.

The New Caprica battle was great too, but it made me for the Pegasus loss.

Either way, the FX guys for the show really need to write a book on How To Do Space Battles Right.

Yeah, definitely There's also a fair share of strafing.. and you always see the thrusters firing off whenever they do the maneuvers.

The only odd thing about the battles in the show I found is that the Raiders carried nukes. In the pilot (the miniseries), Razor, and a few select episodes it's the Raiders that always launched the nukes and the Base-stars only had conventional missiles. But this begs the question - why wouldn't they fit all their raiders with nukes, or you know, at least more than one? I know the raiders also have "experience" and are re-downloaded like the skinjobs, so maybe they just give nukes to the best of the best?

Who knows..

I agree with Annatar as well. I love the show and yes it got a little slow at points but the reason for it was to develop the characters more to show the human side and all the idiosyncrasies that we as people are culturally programmed to carry with us for better or worse.

I'm stoked to hear there will be an early DVD release prior to TV. You just know this is a money grab in response to the millions of downloads of the TV broadcasts.

The one good thing I've liked about BSG is that the lines of good and evil are blurred.  Even in reality good & evil aren't consistant, one side would think the other is evil and vice versa.  Constantly in BSG they are mixing up who you may be rooting for.  That is one thing that ST & SG lacked...realism in theology.  In those series, you knewwho was the good guys every time and those good guys won every episode.  Really, what's the entertainment in that?  Every time I watched McGuyver I wanted that bomb or such to go off before he did his thing....like the final episode I beleive...

Sure, but the gun-in-the-hole trick goes both ways then.

Eh, lets try to get this back on the Caprica track.  Sorry for the derailment.

It will be interesting to see things pre-BSG...but i'm unsure how well I'll like it.  There is something about the human struggle in BSG that has held me to that show.  I guess I cannot demonize something I have yet to watch though, and thus I'll give it a slot on the DVR when the time comes.

I wonder how this Caprica will go. 

BSG started out really good and season 3 got a little boring. 

The 2nd half of season 4 has been good so far. 

Tonights episode was pretty good.  The quarm finally showing some backbone.   I do agree with what others have said about bluring the lines of good and evil and whos right and whos wrong.  They did a pretty good job with Gaeta.

Man, Josef086, what the hell dude?

All he said was the qurem was showing some backbone, thats hardly a spoiler. Get over yourselves.
