The new Battlestar

[Darrin Drader]

I think that I'll watch a Farscape episode or two on DVD when this is on, just out of spite!

OK, but if you don't watch it you won't have any ammo when Wednesday rolls around, the miniseries is over, and you want to go around posting about how bad it sucked.

I'll let others assume that priviledge

So could anyone who actually has the Sci-Fi channel please record it for me? I want to be able to join in the whole mocking phase!

Is this version also going to be a Mormon show? Will there still be Mormon producer and various allusions to the quorum and other Mormon institutions? If so, I'll be more inclined to watch it.

Either that is a joke or something that I cannot answer. Does it have to be ... err, Mormon-influenced?

Hmm... I happened upon an episode of the original Battlestar Galactica, on the Sci-Fi Channel, the other day ago. You know, the original Battlestar Galactica was not all that great to begin with. So, really, this new series doesn't have all that far to fall from.

When I was a teenager, I thought the original Battlestar Galactica was awesome. Now, decades later, it seems vapid and insipid to me. (But, then, most television sci-fi seems that way to me, nowadays.)

What's fascinating to me is that the Wired News review is so positive, and yet totally convinces me that I would not like this show. I'm afraid special effects and oversexed characters simply aren't enough to get me to watch ... I've got many better shows to "waste" my time on.

You should read the Ain't it Cool News review, they hated it. Of course they seem to hate everything. I'm going to give it a chance, it doesn't really deserve one but I'm going to go into it with as few preconcieved notions as I can and watch it for what it is. The one think that really bothers me is that everything I have read or seen on the show so far makes the producers seem very arrogant about this show, that just sort of bugs me.

Why would not watching it stop some people from saying it sucked?

I don't really have to answer that, do I?

Yeah, everything's cool to them until theuy've pumped everyone's expectations up for several months or years. At that time it doesn't really matter what the final movie/show is like, it will still be a let down after all the hype. They should rename the website Aint it teh Suck!

...you know, in all truthfullness, while I LOVE the original and such...it doesn't deserve a chance either.
