Battlestar Annoying
Monday, 28. July 2008, 11:03:27
Ok, so I'm watching Battlestar Galactica.
And is it just me, or is it f-ing annoying?
It's like Kafka was an 80s emo who played every Wing Commander game and learned to write by watching daytime soaps and hung out at the gym and was British and somebody liked him so much they hired him to write a sci-fi show.
The cast is competent and the effects just get better each season.
The space battle scenes are great fun.
But then they throw in a bunch of Chakotay vision quest religious dream sequence bs EVERY EPISODE and make everyone seem half retarded by having them shoot random people for no good reason every now and then.
And they do that wonderful *sarcasm* spoiler cycle through every scene in the beginning of every episode.
Is Baltar more annoying than Jar-jar?
He certainly gets more screen time than Jar-jar ever did.
Baltar does more damage? This is debatable.
Baltar isn't funny looking and he doesn't really talk weird.
Balter doesn't make strange lurching movements while walking.
He does NOT, however, exhibit any of the mad science prowess necessary
to create any device of reasonable complexity.
Such a great story concept, such a waste.
Please great screenwriter gods, get a few fan-boy opinions on your
finale scripts. Steal somebodies fanfic, just write good damn you.
I can't forgive a few of those seasons, but maybe you can help
me forget.
No more after the jump.
