There was something about how the offed a black character on Battlestar that irks me. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracey de Morsella Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] That was wack - so say we all! I loved DS8, but I'm still angry at the ending with Sisko abandoning loved ones, so I'm not sure if I am extremely surprised at Battlestar's ending Tracey -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daryle Lockhart Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 11:28 AM To: SciFi Noir Subject: [scifinoir2] That was wack - so say we all! Okay, I'll start. SPOILERS below if you have not seen the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. I've had a love/hate relationship with Battlestar Galactica since it first aired. My main problem with the show was, I admit, race based. that the entire premise was originally that the colonies that fleed the Cylon tyranny were the original Egyptians. Mayans, etc. So to have 35,000 surviving humans that happen to be mostly white was, well, a little insulting. I'm still a little off about the prison ship. But like most folks, I found a character I liked, and waited for the fight scenes, which were always great. The show took the most horrifying elements of disasters in our history and put it in a sci-fi context. Then they gave the Starbuck character such depth and complexity, I was hooked. It was brilliant. Then, the 9/11 shock started to wear off, and the show started to head towards that Fonzie ramp with everybody being a possible cylon. Horrible season- ending cliffhangers. But I still sorta hung in there. I had a feeling that this show would end like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", only with the 35,000 as the Golgafrinchans, but I but I never really thought they would go there. I really thought that a guy who worked on DS9 would give me more than "and then 150,000 years later, the AIBO robot." I was really good with this show ending after Starbuck typed in the jump coordinates and the ship stopped. The sight of Galactica crossing the moon and into Earth's orbit -- great. The End. Everything else...the flashbacks, the "wellp, seeya around" scenes -- all unnecessary. This was a horrible ending to a series that was up and down for years. ------------------------------------ Post your SciFiNoir Profile at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scifinoir2/app/peoplemap2/entry/add?fmvn=mapYa hoo!
