I watched the entire series of BSG on dvd from netflix over a period of several months. Great stuff. Have not watched Caprica though.
Also watched all of Firefly/Serenity from netflix. Also great.
Yeah I initially scoffed Battlestar Galactica harder than the mookie crew scoffs eminem, but then I watched an episode, liked it, and wound up watching the whole series. Damn good stuff, sir.
I've tried watching Caprica, I hear that it's good, but I just can't get into it. Not sure why.
I made it about midway through season 2 but I just lost interest.
Yeah, I heard Caprica is good. I didn't really like the pilot but i hear it gets better. I'm going to give it another watch. I think it's on hulu, gonna check it out.
I've watched every episode of Caprica so far. It has its moments, but it really hasn't captured me the way BSG did. The only reason I'm still watching it is because it's BSG related.
I'll probably watch the entire 1st season, and if it hasn't shown me anything great by the finale, I'll give up on it.
Wrong thread
So I'm all caught up on Caprica and i have to say this show is in good. It started off kinda of slow but it really started to hit it's stride and it has me hooked now. If you enjoyed BSG def. check this out asap.
Or eating, sleeping... ya know, I think it's pretty clear that Jack Bauer is actually a cyborg/robot.
Are you talking about Heroes?
I didn't even make it that far with Heroes... I watched all of season 1 just to see it through, but even then I knew it was a pretty dumb show. It had just enough to keep me hooked though.Are you talking about Heroes?
Same here. I've been reading comics of all sorts since I was kid, and was really digging the first few episodes. (Except for Ali Larter; she could go jump off a bridge for all I cared.)
I kept waiting for them to do something 'comic booky' though, and never got it. No outfits, no teams, no secret hideouts, etc etc. The coincidental meetings of the characters aped Lost far too blatantly, and the powers of the characters weren't well thought out.
(Sylar stealing powers = Ok... why? Because a bad guy is supposed to be big and badass... but then you give a good guy nearly the same power? Blah.)
My favorite character by far was Hiro. He was the only one that seemed to enjoy his power.
It was basically a poor man's version of Rising Star (before Rising Star completely fell off the ledge as well.)
Just starting season four as I type this. Love this series. The ability of it to have some great sequences is pretty damn good. It does get cheesy at times but they way they suck you in in certain scenes is really good.
is this better then atlantis? stargate? sliders or even everquest or waterquest from the 90s?
The ending is kinda a surprise if you hadn't seen it before. I have it all on DVD. At first, when they found Earth earlier, I was a bit pissed at the rewrite from the 70's series. However, I like how they ended the series.
In some way it's way better. Others, lacking. just depends on what you like. It is probably the best combination of drama and sci fi ever. It gets pretty intense at times.
Watch the miniseries first, and see if you like the nuances. The first season has a few slow moment, but has far more good ones.
Holy
Flipping
Crap
Three more episodes to go
One of the greatest shows I've ever seen

Damn you're slow.
It is. Unfortunately it is a scifi show so it never had a chance in greatest show ever category. Shame most people won't give it a chance; I had to force people to give it a shot and watch it. They always end up loving it.
Ah
Was an alright ending. I kind of knew they wouldn't wrap up everything perfectly.
My only question is...how did the rest of the fleet know Starbucks coordinates to end up at new earth?
I assume they sent somebody back in a raptor to pick them up.
As for my thoughts on the show... I was hooked the first 2-3 seasons, then I slowly started to lose interest about the time they revealed the final five and Starbuck got all weird.
I couldn't get into Caprica, probably for the best since it only lasted 20 episodes or so.
What other options did they have?
Well the rest of the fleet was going to the rendezvous point
The battlestar's FTL had lost the rendezvous coordinates during the final attack
So Starbuck punches in numbers corresponding to the crazy song, and ends up taking them to new earth. But how did the rest of the fleet end up there? They would have jumped to the rendezvous point that was lost to the BSG
