Non-cape tv show

Gay.

Made in Canada, filled with Cucknadians and that racist Edward James Olmos, and it's really fucking gay with that stupid zoom-in shaky cam shit.

Yeah, no. It was a good show. Up until the horseshit final episode where they threw all their technology into the sun.

Gayer than Return of the King's seventh ending.

Battlestar Galactica remake - good or not?

Stick to the original series.

The USA need a new red menace movement.

McCarthy has totally been redeemed in my eyes, no exaggeration.

Wasn't this reboot what started all race and gender swapping bullshit? Also, Edward James Olmos is a statutory rapist.

Yes, I believe it was.

>Battlestar Galactica

The old version was a Star Wars-minus the Force ripoff but in a way that worked. It was goofy and fun about the struggles of humanity to get to Earth. Supposedly had Mormon themes in it. Anyways, it didn't last too long and had its own mythology. Not great by any means but not terrible and still unique and cool enough to be popular in reruns.

The new version was done by SyFy, which meant it was crap. Took a family friendly kiddie show into muh-serious land. Started off with 9/11 themes, as every show at that time did. The Cylons looked exactly like people except superhuman and impossible to detect, which meant that anyone could end up being one at any time. Hallmark of lazy writing. Took it itself way too seriously and went off on weird tangents. Introduced actual magic where eventually anything could and did happen. All people on Earth end up supposedly descended from one of the Cylon hybrids and the original villian or something.


I laugh at people that are let down by the ending. It's the same thing with all of these schlock shows, like Lost or Game of Thrones. Nobody has any idea what they're writing and just keep their inflated sense of self-importance long enough until the end. Eventually you run out of smoke and fun house mirrors and then you're taken out of the exit door onto the street--when you slowly realize you've been had.
Their fans may never admit their betrayal and keep their delusional love for the show--but you notice you'll never hear about these series brought up ever again.

Yeah I mean I heard about GoT's eighth season talked about here and there, but not much the rest. And especially Lost. Shows like that, Grey's Anatomy (which I think is about to end), Heroes and other stuff that came out at the time is kinda forgettable. Maybe for me because I didn't watch much live action stuff aside from movies and some shows, but I never hear people bring it up.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

These are all shows that went for season- and even series-spanning mystery arcs, but the fame caused them to pad everything out that by the time they had to wrap everything up for the finale, they didn't know how.

The Cylons looked exactly like people except superhuman and impossible to detect, which meant that anyone could end up being one at any time. Hallmark of lazy writing.

Also cheaper than producing a bunch of robot costumes or CGI footage, I assume.

[Guest]

They must have used the shitty CGI budget elsewhere then, Sci-fi can't not make eye cancer. Its like they do it on purpose.

Because the loudest voices hyping it up online were the paid shills. The rest were blind sheep looking to be part of something big. And improve their own lives through osmosis or something.

The shills moved on to the next hyped thing, but havent returned to talk about it because the money and hype wasnt as big as you might be lead to believe.
A lot more people fell off the wagon a lot longer ago.
