No, im not a nerd because i watch it in fact its not even in the category of Sci-Fi even if it has "Galactic" or something in it, its very interesting when you watch it. and its by far one of the best dramas ever created. CSI is like...pathetic compared to it in the scale of ACTING. if you think CSI is good you should check it out. i saw it on bravo once, but i think its mainly on Scifi (why, i dont know, its categorized as Drama / Suspense) w/e, this is a Movie & MEDIA Forum, which i'll use as an excuse to post it as Television also. MWHAHAHHAHAHA!
I realize I'm bumping this old thread. Well I've started watching this series a few weeks ago and decided to stop recently a few episodes into season 3. The series, in my opinion, is simply not well done. The sets are painfully plain and the series tries to get away with as little detail in the background as possible. The camera preferring close-ups of actors to accommodate. After seeing aesthetically beautiful sets from other science-fiction works such as Alien, Prometheus, Firefly, or Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica is downright disgraceful. The science fiction is a gimmick. Only there to push the story forward whenever needed to provide the series with a lot of moral dilemmas that pass for drama. Do the Cylons want to kill off all humans or don't they? If they do they're really incompetent. It's hard to follow a series where agendas are unclear for so long, even the Cylons don't really seem to know where they're going with this. To make the series "mysterious," we're bogged down with so much repeated mythology from both humans and Cylons that I stopped caring whose gods were real and why it matters. The only thing that seemed to improve as the series went on was the CGI. I'm sorry for panning Battlestar Galactica, but I don't really have anything nice to say about it.
