cheerfullydrab posted:The guy was half right. Galactica itself didn't do that stuff, but there were ships in the fleet where it happened. There was even an episode or two where people were like "I just got on this one ship to see my aunt, then while I was on board, everybody I knew got vaporized by Cylons, and ever since then I've been refining algae 16 hours a day every day. Please make things suck less." and Adama was all like "gently caress you, get back to work." Ammo was def made in the Galactica; the sabotage person was working in Galactica's armory. e:

BSG was a good show with a bad ending but Caprica was so goddamn boring that I couldn't watch anything BSG related afterwards.

The bsg blood and chrome miniseries was alright. It was written by Michael Taylor who wrote for ds9 and there are a bunch of star trek references in it. For example, a kid is born and named anslem, which was the title of future Jake sisko's bestselling novel.

I can appreciate BSG solely as a several season long "NO... gently caress YOU!" From Ron Moore to Rick Berman.

So much of BSG was absolutely awful though. Its impossible to re-watch when the density of the slog sets in and you are sick of your thousandth closeup of Madam President and Olmos' pock marks.

I'm just after watching Star Trek VI on Syfy, and the strange editing continues. For some reason they decided to cut out the part where it's revealed that the Klingon assassin was actually Renee Auberjonios. Seems like an odd choice considering they didn't really cut anything else out.

When I was sitting in the theater watching Halloween Resurrection starring BUSTA RHYMES, I saw Katee Sackoff for the first time, it may have been her big debut idk, but i knew right then and there she would be a super star actress in a beloved sci fi franchise reboot someday

One with most of the "It was really kinda the Federation behind the thing the whole time" stuff cut out and one with it still in. I wanna say the DVD boxset I got forever ago of all the TOS movies has the cut version which is a shame.

BSG was great at the time because it was like hey this space show is taking itself seriously and isn't showing me the same poo poo over and over again but they started chasing Lost type story twists and never really had a plan despite opening every episode telling the audience explicitly that was the case, and a decade on nearly everybody does some version of the shakeycam spacebattle with the washed out colour timing The rewatchability drops off after the New Caprica rescue, although I thought the mutiny was also good and the first big musical reveal was kickass before they went nuts with it later on. Overall it's so loving early 00's grimdark that it's almost funny sometimes and why the gently caress is every variation of "chief" constantly tortured in pop sci fi

I'd like a new stargate series. Apart from Universe falling apart, SG1 and Atlantis are both tons of fun and have a slew of science fiction alumni. Too bad that Roland Emmerich is going to make another lovely movie about it.

I just recently watched for the first time like oh 10 seasons of Stargate this year I got to where Richard Dean Anderson left in SG1 and about the end of 2 when they started killing people off for no reason. Then I read something and saw that they put tapping in season 3 or whatever and was just like NOPE it was fun while it lasted

She's not even a full out-in-the-field teammate, she's stuck running Atlantis day-to-day in place of Dr Weir. Woolsey gets stuck with the job in season 5 and it's amazing. Farmer Crack-rear end posted:The Troi plot element is so goofy as gently caress to me, because on the one hand it's after the writers successfully pushed to reinstate enlisted people, but on the other hand these same writers apparently forgot (or decided to ignore) that just because the medical officers are higher-ranked doesn't mean they're actually in line for command. Like if an aircraft carrier suddenly lost all its senior officers, the carrier wouldn't find itself under the command of Commander Dentist, it'd go to some lieutenant who's actually a line officer. TOS even loving knew about this, when Spock relieved himself he didn't pass command to McCoy, it went to some one-episode Lieutenant. TNG goes out of its way to show that people can switch departments like they were working for a company, rather than the military, and you even see in All Good Things... that dedicated medical ships exist. LaForge starts off as a console officer on the bridge wearing Red, as does Worf. Hell, even in the JJverse you see Kirk hand over the job of Chief Engineer to Chekov and tell him to put on a red shirt. Big Mean Jerk posted:I've never attempted a BSG rewatch because I'm almost certain my love for the show will completely evaporate. I've only ever watched it once, as it aired. The first two seasons hold up great. Beyond that you remember all the rare good bits (the mutiny, and maybe the final battle), and the baaaad stretches. Just stop after they escape New Caprica and be happier for it. Also no-one mentioned it, but BSG:Razor's actually a pretty good watch as well.

My last BSG rewatch was maybe 2? years ago and I do remember the end being a horrible slog that I just wanted to be over. I will defend the end and the last bits to the death, I think people are way too harsh on them, but as a binged rewatch the whole thing was just very boring and tedious. Oddly enough, I originally got into the show in season 3. The first episode I saw was season 3 episode one and I watched that whole season and everything after that live. The more times I've seen the show all the way through since then the more I've realized what a strange place and time that is to start cold with it.

Grin has an update on his Star Trek recuts. CBS are being total cocks and constantly attacking him over his parody videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYJFoJ6zH-E If you want to watch most of the TNG recuts, they're currently on his Emperor Grin channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXA7IhbBKWAGACPbGfMBQfw

But as for why they started lightening up I am not sure. Richard Dean Anderson probably had lots to do with as Jack kind of evolved from a bitter hard rear end into someone enjoying how weird his job was. The time loop episode was something special.
