DS9RE: [scifinoir2] That was wack - so say we all! All interesting questions. I wondered why after all they have gone through why would they give up the technology that has protected them for so long. For me personally, I thought that were or was a bad move. I feel with the ending there were a lot of questions left unanswered. But I can not see how they can do a sequel or anything with the series the way it stands. But you have to admit, the battle was great. --Lavender From: Augustus Augustus Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 10:51 AM To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Subject: Re: OOOP! DS9RE: [scifinoir2] That was wack - so say we all! it's done on purpose! Dee shooting herself in the last season. Sisko going with the prophets in DS9 (leaving Jake, Kassidy and his new baby, that he was Thrilled was coming, left behind). BSG (going back to the original 1978 version produced by Glen Larson) had 2 of the main characters as Black actors. Colonel Tigh and Boomer were cast as Blacks on purpose, as Mr. Larson said "I wanted to make sure teh people see that there are Blacks in outspace. I enjoyed how Gene (Roddenberry) put a Black woman on the bridge, but he should have put more in his cast." with that, Mr. Larson made sure that he put more than one minority in a position of a regular. the new BSG looks like it went the other way entirely. i did not mind them reinventing the characters, but i was totally disappointed with the absence of Black characters. as for the series finale, i enjoyed the jumping in and the fight with the hub, i enjoyed the planning for the fight, and i enjoyed the last "volunteers port side, everyone else starboard side speech." i hated all of the flashbacks, and the spiritual connotations. baltar and cylon 6 as angels? and then the prehistoric earth? first i was thinking 'time travel?', but then when the others showed up, i knew that that earth that they found in the beginning of this last season. that had 2 be another earth. i agree with the '150,000 years later' comment. whatever happened to.......... ......... ......... ......... ......... .... There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens... also, why would u send all of your ships into the sun? the galactica was old, she was not going 2 jump anymore, side bar: classic line when Tigh said "she broke her back, she will never jump again." and what about the cylons who jumped away, now i would really be interested in wanting to know what happened to them in 150,000 years since they will not die. and where are the remains of the technology that the colonials brought to earth? did they send the raptors into space without them? the vipers? just a few questions. also, i am still not going 2 watch Caprica! --- On Sun, 3/22/09, Tracey de Morsella <tdli...@multicultur aladvantage. com> wrote: From: Tracey de Morsella <tdli...@multicultur aladvantage. com> Subject: OOOP!

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: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com [mailto:scifino...@yahoogro ups.com] 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!
