Morning.
I have to say, I am tempted to admit that it's me that's wrong about BSG. People who's opinions I respect hugely* are in love with the show, but I just don't get it. So it's probably me.

*i.e. Not B3tans.

I've come to the conclusion that it's either something you get or you don't
Opinion seems to be firmly divided between the horribly devoted fanboys, and those with no time for it whatsoever. I maintain it's not just a sci-fi show, but the trappings of space travel and big scary robots will deter many.

I don't have a problem with the robots and space stuff.
I honestly think that it's just that I find Starbuck so deeply unlikeable as an actress and character that I can't get beyond that.

Also, the line 'No more Mr Nice Gaius' put me off the writing forever.

I tuned out when Face out of the A-Team stopped being in it.

HAHAHA of fuck me, that's some poor writing right there.
I like how they thoroughly get the Greek theme wrong as well. Where's the moussaka for fucks sake.

No doubt they'll need bailed out by the Cylons.
"All base ships are in attack position."

"Whoah there, hold on lads. Have you seen their debt ratios? No need to waste any ships here, phone Goldmans."

Fair play, you've at least given it a punt
It is bloody difficult to get on with a show when you hate one of the major players. The missus insisted on getting me into Babylon 5 and it's much better than I was expecting, but includes the single worst character in the history of all television.

It'd have to be off. Wouldn't it?
