The writers' strike killed it, but it had a fantastic first season and a half or so.
Comment on Battlestar Galactica Reboot Moves Forward at Peacock With New Showrunner
zcd@lemmy.ca 5 months agoVery close to perfection, the only complaint I have personally is the ending was kind of… eh? But not sure how they could possibly match some of those performances particularly Adama

Oh shit is that what happened? Because yeah it was off the hook and then really sort of… lost its way at the very end. I do like the idea of “It happened before and it’s going to happen again” Where organics will inevitably create machines and mistreat them, who will then try to exterminate the humans, who then would need to evolve/change their ways to convince the machines to allow them to exist… meanwhile some of the machines are essentially becoming organics and yeah just felt jarring the direction they went with for the ending

That is indeed what happened. I had been a huge fan of the show, even purchasing the DVD sets despite limited entertainment budget. I was so disappointed.

I really liked the miniseries, but the actual show was awful. It was very obvious the writers didn’t have a plan and just made up new shit every episode. It had its moments, but it was very far from being perfect.

To me, the show went downhill as the mysticism became the focus, so the reboot handling that aspect differently would be an improvement in my mind.

Same. First 2 seasons were insanely gripping but then it lots it’s focus and turned into “actually, angels lol”.
