What the frack was that?
What the frack was that?
That, my good Razib, was trainwreck, a trainwreck of the sort we haven't seen since the Matrix sequels.
It was really no surprise to anyone watching the show critically. After the Caine episodes, the BSG's story arc went to hell. Moore became too eager to turn the show into a space-bound version of Law & Order, trying to shove every current controversy into his show.
Another poster lauded the show for its focus on characters. Why? Few of the characters made any sense. For example, would a serious ship commander turn over his fleet to a subordinate who'd been sleeping with an enemy prisoner just so he could hang around in space waiting for his true love to appear? This is typical of the idiotic moves most of these "well developed" characters would make. The "cheesy" 1970s original had far better characters, and it even had a story that made more sense.
