Battlestar Galactica Season 3

Probably my all time favourite Sci-fi show and right up there with Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy with my top 3 of all time. The show is just perfect, the casting is realistic, the story-lines are immense with some great exciting moments. It is full on thoughtful science fiction with enough Pew Pew moments to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.The progression of the show and its characters over all the series works really well with the story-lines building and never going too far away from the general feeling of humanities threatened existence.I m not sure this show will ever be bettered...

I can understand the initial backlash against Starbuck, it seemed like an unneeded change in a reboot that might be full of unneeded changes that could take away from the original in the same way that V would.Only the reboot turned out to be legendary and though I feel appropriately dirty saying it--for love of 1978--but 2004 Starbuck turned out to be so much better than the clean ladies man. She was tough and grungy and awesome in the vein of the top shelf sci-fi heroes.And now there is a new political backlash, years later, that seems to hate for the reasons of destroying anything that has a nerd following and I don t understand the need for that.Anyway, leave that political junk at the door, sit down, and binge a series that is as beautiful as it is emotional and adventurous. It marks a high point for everything epically great that science fiction can be.

The only problem this show ever had was that it ended. It s some of the best space-based sci-fi shows that has ever existed.

This would have been a far better show if I didn t have the original Battlestar Galactica movie in the back of my mind telling me there was so much wrong with this new telling. It s a great show. It looks fantastic. The characters are excellent. The intrigue and betrayal are gripping. But for me, there were just too many comparisons to what was being done differently this time around. So basically, the show is great, I m just very old.

After watching original 1978 series and then this... I can barely watch, struggling to finish season 1. Woke, genderized, random and crazy camera work, it s unbearable.
