Rating:  - the new battlestar galactica
this series is just magnificant. it's action, drama and si-fi all in one.
what it isn't is funny. the new crew find bad luck one turn after the next fighting the cylons but hey bad turns are real life.
Rating:  - Local Video Store won this one.
After Reading the reviews on the wonderful show BSG. I decided to partake in this awesome adventure and buy Season 1. I wrote a 4 star review on that DVD package because it was a good buy for me. I was definitely hooked after seeing Season 1.
Unfortunately, when it was time to buy season 2, I couldn't bring myself to pay for Season 2.0 and season 2.5. I felt that if I was able to be a proud owner of BSG Season one Complete for under fifty bucks then I wouldn't mind having BSG Season 2 Complete for around 50 bucks as well.
So for brevity, I ended up just watching Season 2 via the local video store as I wait for the price to go down.
I know the production cost for BSG is high and Season 2 does have more episodes than season one so I gave my review 3 stars instead of 2.
Good Hunting,
Rating:  - That Documentary Episode -- Yuck
I like this show, its certainly better than a lot of junk on TV these days. However, the episode where a member of the press does a 'real world' style documentary on the BSG crew... ugh. Just a device for lazy writers to do some exposition on their characters whose traits, thoughts, and feelings OUGHT to come to light through the events on the ship and how they react to them. This cheesy tactic is a complete betrayal of the first rule of good fiction writing: "Show it, don't tell it." And it ruins this whole season.
Rating: - Those Clever Cylons
If you bought Seanson 1.0 and watched the whole thing, you will then be buying Seanson2.0. Why? Because those Clever Cylons leave you hanging out in space with the 'ole cliffhanger everytime. You want to know what happens... buy Seanson 2.0. Besides, after Season 1.0 you are probably "hooked" anyway. Sit back and enjoy the ride. And think about buying the next Season prior to viewing the last disc of the current Seanson you are watching... then you don't have to wait to see what happens... unless you just want to!!! We have a BSG view-a-thon on Saturday nights. I will be ordering Seanson 3.0 real soon. Highly reccommended.
Rating: - BSG seasons 1 thru 3 - good warm up for the FINAL season ...
I've seen each and every episode on the Sci-Fi channel, plus the extras online. I bought seasons 1 thru 3, plus the "Razor" and the "Miniseries".
WOW! Can't leave the couch! Watching this series WITHOUT commercials is a true gift! Already into the 4th (and final) season, and can't wait for the DVD set!!!!
BTW - did you know that BSG won a "Peabody" award for their writing? W2G BSG!!!!
If you're a sci fi fan, then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
If you're NOT a sci-fi fan, then GET ON THE BANDWAGON and watch the BEST dramatic (sci-fi) series EVER on TV. I kid you NOT. This show ROCKS!!!!
