Is it wrong that I'm not as impressed with BSG...

Cymro · 02-12-2006, 11:49 AM

As the gushers on TW? I like the show, it's a good show, but to me it just isn't as great as everyone says it is. And there's something about it that I really hate, but I'm not sure what.

Don't feel odd. I see it as entertainment only, not a lifestyle. I have too many problems with it.

Star Trek, while lacking the consistency of BSG, has always been able to offer something to me that made it feel special, as gay as that sounds.

BSG gets praised for not using cheesy sci-fi chliches, but unfortunately it just replaces those with dramatic cliches everyone else uses.

That does make you kinda gay...

Bean · 02-13-2006, 07:40 AM

Kinda?

Brikar · 02-13-2006, 04:52 PM

I thought the fact that he has sex with men was what made him gay...

Cymro · 02-14-2006, 06:03 PM

I thought it was the fact that you were the man I was having sex with that made you a good one to talk. And next time shave your asshole!

Cymro · 02-14-2006, 06:04 PM

But, I digress. So any ideas as to what's wrong with BSG?

Part of what bugs me about it is that I can't peg the Cylon plan. They seem to by turns allow the human fleet to survive and then attempt to wipe it out in the very next episode.

They're is an episode coming up called "Download" in which we learn alot more about the Cylons as I believe the entire episode is done from their perspective.

But I don't know Cymro. I love the show. I think it's one of the best ever to hot TV. Do I think it should go into a movie franchise, and books and comics etc? No. But I do LOVE the show. I guess there's nothing wrong if youdon't like it as much as others, it's not like EVERYONE likes the show as much as the gushers.
