Set Your Sci-FI Filter To "Suck"

Post by Aaron »

Behold: The BSG:Caprica Trailer

Ugh. This looks like complete and utter shite. Good thing they spent all that time time and cash on a CGI model of an orginal Centurion huh? Cause I don't see one here, just more Battlestar Livejournal. :roll:

Why did a series that was so great turn into something like this? :(

If ever there was proof that RDM spent to much time in the Trek fold, this would be it. At least the suck won't be carried on for two extra series if this trailer is any indication.

That looked horrible. I was thinking of starting BSG soon but that trailer just looks like BS.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Battlestar Galactica is awesome. Please don't let a trailer for it's spinoff turn you off to BSG.

Fixed that for you. Really ran off the rails in season three.

No no season three had many of the best episodes of the show and about half of season four so far has been great the other half average. Still better than 99.5% of tv.

Sorry, I bailed after it became a ridiculous emo-fest with Starbuck,Apollo, Dee and Anders. Starbuck was hard enough to take on her own. Add in the retarded Cylon religious shite and Baltar having some bizarre religious ephinay and I couldn't watch anymore. I had my suspicions when Roslin started having visions and they settled on New Caprica.

That's what happens when a former DS9 writer does things. :roll:

And the mystery of the last Cylon isn't enough to keep you watching? My money's on Madam President.
