I dunno about him. I just started watching BSG and have gone through the first two seasons, and there are some questionable choices in his scoring at times. He overuses ethnic instruments, the most glaring example being the very out-of-place bagpipes during some of the father and son moments. The music itself is enjoyable enough, but the pairing of scenes and musical styles is pretty hit-or-miss. Tribal drums for space battles works well, but the rest of it feels mismatched.

Am I the only one that thought that was Crecente at first?

@sluissa: My first thought as well. If it weren't for the facial structure and goatee, he could easily be a stunt double in "Crecente 3: Quest For The Golden Crecentes". (A Pointing Fish Production)

Was never a big fan of the show, it always seemed so self-important, "look at me, I'm serious!" type of show. It reminded me of professional wrestling sometimes..."The Fatal (or Final) Five will be revealed!" When, at Wrestlemania? Lol.

@Thrillkiller: I know what you mean. There was always an element of "let's take the camp and cheerful 70's show with all the tinfoil outfits, and then we'll sprinkle in references to terrorism, religious fundamentalism and the Holocaust!".

Coming soon to a network near you: "Buck Rogers - Child Abuser".

@Thrillkiller:

I don't know. I tried soo hard to love the show. My dad watched the original and told me it weas a classic. I watched the show, and i just couldn't love it. I think they tried to hard on a few topics and they made a lot of threads that never got tied up. Several times the shows plot slwed to a crawl and the only reason I stuck with it was to get answers that they never gave.

Not to say it was a bad show, not really I liked it. But that's where it ended, I liked the show just didnt love it.

I have had a ton of fun with Fleet Commander. I just started playing it again recently, and I have yet to crash yet with the most recent release. I used to crash every other time I tried to load a level with some of the old releases.

Oh, and the AI used to be almost non-exsistant in the skirmish modes, so when I played the most recently the AI completely schooled me, by jumping near my base with a fleet of Baseships and destroying it. I managed to get a Galactica built, and jumped it out of their fast. The rest of the match was me running from their fleet, picking off a baseship here or their until they finally killed me. It was awesome!

I was five or six when the first Galactica came out, thirty or so when the second came out. If I live life long and healthy I should still be able to see and hear at around age 55 for the 2033 reimagining of the 2002 reimagining of the 1978 original. AND I CAN HARDLY WAIT!

I don't understand why they felt they had to wrap things up after only a few seasons. The show obviously has a very loyal following and although the viewership probably doesn't reach '24' or 'Lost'-like levels, I have no reason to ever tune into Sci-Fi channel again (other than the spinoff BSG shows). I've talked to many people who feel the same way. Why would the network shoot themselves in the foot like this?

@Talleyrand: I want to know why they wrapped it up so poorly. they half assed answers and completely ignored a lot of the questions and story points that drove us to watching. the need to know the answers were given to us in a way you felt cheated.

I think the writers dug themselves a hole and wanted out.

@wahrugene:

I actually liked the ending. It was not perfect, but I thought how they wrapped everything up and answered most questions was acceptable. If you didn't think that "God" (they never really explained what/who "God" is, and I really liked that) was going to be a major part of the finale perhaps you weren't paying close enough attention throughout the series. It always had an unexplainable/mysticism to it.

I did find it a little odd that the show ended on a happy note, since nothing happy has happened to the fleet since the show began.

I'm not really sure if that's my idea of a happy note. Maybe a "not as sad as I thought it would be" note?

@SammyPriest: "Crap" is pretty extreme. Especially considering that it's one of the best shows on television, ever.

I'm curious as to what you think is good. The Hills? According To Jim?

Comparing Battlestar Galactica characters to Jesus and his apostles? No sure if this means a one way ticket to heaven or hell...

Though I suppose if God liked Battlestar Galactica, he/she wouldn't have let it get cancelled.

nice, hadnt heard of half of these. some of the comics arent too bad, either.

but make no mistake about it, NONE OF THIS WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT THE CHARACTER YOU WANTED TO HAVE ANSWERED IN THE ENDING. that's as non-spoilery as i could get, but i had to vent. i mean, WTF?!

@TheIrishNinja: Yeah, that was pretty annoying. However, if you avoided the question completely and just took in how they wrapped up the character's arc throughout the show, as well as the arc's for the rest of the characters, then it was a very satisfying ending. Logically, not the best ending, but still quite satisfying as far as the characters go.

Btw, I really enjoyed Roslin's musical theme (beautiful in its melancholy), and it was particularly heart-wrenching in the final episode.

@thespyderboy: Aye, I truly appreciated how they tied off the series. I especially enjoyed the, running through the Opera House *thing* Nice way to link it back to the previous seasons and those dreams.

@ShushKebab: I also enjoyed the return of the Opera house in that way (though seeing the five actually standing in the way they did was really cheesy, as they were just standing in such a posed way, rather than actually surrounding Anders in a more symbolic way). Perhaps I also enjoyed it because I didn't much care for it when it was first around...

@Anthony Noel: Well, now that the SPOILER is out... as it stands, that's how the show points it out to be. However, I think the show could have been much more interesting if the writers decided to play with Daniel more, in that Daniel was the one who orchestrated everything behind the scenes (and yes, that would be a bit of last-minute deus ex machina, to an extent), was a human on Caprica and fathered Starbuck. That way, when Starbuck died, she was resurrected in a secret Cylon facility, which is why she returned when the Cylons returned.

It would have fit so well, but alas, it didn't come to be.
