BSG 2.0 back on Prime....

...Ran across this earlier today. Went off the rails at the very end, but still one of the top two or three sci-fi series in TV history.

I think they ran into the usual problem: They ran out of an established plot and were making it up as they went. Suddenly they had to end it and kludged together something.

Rocket,

True that. The producers later had the decency to admit they'd kind of painted themselves into a corner and were never quite able to sort it out.

The initial miniseries that served as the pilot might well be the best pilot of any scifi series ever, but as you say eventually the series went off the rails. I think they had a chance to go a different route with the Pegasus and Michelle Forbes plot, it gave them an opening that wasn’t fully capitalized on. After that I think they were stuck in the corner.

I think a big mistake they made at the ending them finding our Earth in the distant past and then abandoning all tech to 'start over'. They probably did it to give 'closure' but to me it seems like a cop out. You just couldn't admit you didn't know how to end it.

Fairly common for a series to start out great and fail miserably, particularly when the series is set around a mystery box which usually doesn't live up to expectations. Lost, Earth final conflict and others come to mind. It's probably a much shorter list of shows that lived up to their initial promise. Still like a great boxing match with a boring final round they can still be enjoyed.

It was also a very, very good MMORPG too.

Funny, I was just on Colonial Fleets' board last night....
But it's a Classic Battlestar board.

IIRC, I posted this a couple boards ago for Bushranger, but what the hell
