SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!
Now that I've appeased the IMDb gods shall we continue?
I loved Battlestar Galactica. I love the reboot and Caprica and everything else, including Galactica 1980. But for the latter I love it for what it could have been and for the potential it had but sadly wasted. I went so far as to read the novelization, which incidentally, was much better than the actual TV show. Now to reasons why the show was not a great success.
Plan to thwart the Cylons possible attack on Earth by integrating into society and incrementally increasing Earth's technology? Brilliant! Over about a thirty year period. Don't have time for that! Now what?Okay fine Galacticans can now travel through time. Cool! Oh by the way we need to blend in to Earth society without being detected. Any problems with that? Nope. Hold on while I use my invisible Viper and FLYING motorcycle right in the middle of downtown LA!! Oh and here's a bunch of Galactican ragamuffins that could be the offspring of Steve Austin and Jamie Sommers. I won't even get into the Halloween episode. At least it went out on a good note as we got to, sort of, find out what happened to Starbuck.
