Very 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, and not sure it could be improved upon
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.
Mild spoilers ahead
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.
2006 Galactica is incredible except for the last 30 minutes. Having everything wrap up with supernatural incidents that were never hinted at felt like it undercut the visceral 4 season journey before it.
Question: what was wrong with bsg 2005 to need a “reboot”? Hope its a new show not actually a reboot because those are some big shoes to fill

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”.
The writers’ strike killed it, but it had a fantastic first season and a half or so.

Just looked it cuz I was curious where the break was and whether it matched my impression when watching it.
From the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_series) it seems that the strike interrupted the production of season 4 but not 3.
Which matches my experience. I was with the show up to the end of S3 but then S4 felt meh-ish except for
spoiler
the Gaeta coup episodes
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of. It’s been an awfully long time so my memory is distant.

This article practically pretends that whole show didn’t exist, and only refers to the miniseries.
They lack the creativity to come up with new IP so they rehash old shit knowing people are dumb enough to watch it.
