Yeaaaaaahh, not the show we're talking about.
Don't get your ego panties in a twist. It's not that serious lol.I opted to ignore the original question about nuBSG in a thread specifically about the original's anniversary. There's been plenty of compare-and-contrast discussed over the years. So in your later post in this non-nuBSG thread, since you didn't mention you were going off-topic again, I sought clarification. I thought you meant nuBSG, but... this isn't a thread about that show, so I wasn't sure. :behave
FWIW, while I might have liked nuBSG if had been its own thing (maybe with about half the unceasing melodrama), I hated it as something purporting to be "Battlestar Galactica". You can find my thoughts a decade back, when it was relevant.
Back to the topic... I've been idly poking at my supercut. Figuring out which bits are lame filler and such, to try to highlight the throughline of Larson's intended narrative arc. I wish they hadn't locked G80 into its time period, or there might be something more salvageable from there than "The Return of Starbuck". I've seen the various remastering and restorations, and have been less than thrilled with each approach. I re-read Richard Hatch's trilogy from time to time, and often think about the Second Coming "trailer"/pitch and what could have been. This is a story still crying out for continuation, but today, I don't know how possible that might be...
Is that not the very definition of gate keeping though?@mcoractual....careful... if you don't talk only about what "they" want to talk about, you quickly become the target of all of their hostility.
All of this has happened before... and it will happen again
That bit of fun poking aside, i grew up with the original BSG and loved it. Like others have expressed previously, it hasn't aged so well for me. While I was OBSESSED with it as a child, by the time the reimagined series came along i had long since let it go as I had attempted a full rewatch a few years before Ron Moore's came out and was shocked at how hard of a time i was having trying to love it again.
I'm not dogging it to those of you who still enjoy it. I wish i still did...it's basically just fond memories for me now of my youth. I've said all of that to illustrate why i was personally so over the moon for the new one, as it just seemed so darned good! I will admit that I was less than satisfied with the ending, but there was so much good in it,as well.
In any case, there would have been no NuBSG without first having the Original... so here's to it! Happy 40th
