The reimagined Battlestar Galactica is STILL the best science fiction show on TV

Firefly is a very close second.

Nothing else comes close

Gonna be honest, haven't seen BSG outside a few moments here and there. Is it streamable?

DD, if DS9 was solely about the Dominion war, you would have a point. Imagine all the build up, fluff episodes and wandering they had to do to get there taken away and they only had that.

That's BSG

I am a trekkie too. Always have been.

The problem with Trek is that they didn't believe in a full story arch spanning seasons until after Gene died.

BSG tells a story. From the miniseries until the end of season 4.

Moreover it's character based, not plot device based. Unlike Star Wars, it's about the people not what's happening around them.

What.

Star Wars is about Anakin/Vader, and in the new trilogy, how his legacy effects his family.

And lightsabers, the millennium falcon, the force etc...

Lucas took an amazing story and fucked it up

Lmao what.

Quote

And lightsabers

The only lightsaber of any significance is Anakin's, as it's an extension of his character and is a family heirloom.

Quote

the millennium falcon

The only people who care about a space ship are people who liked Star Wars because of explosions. Sadly, these are also the people who like TFA.

Quote

the force

Anakin is the force. He's literally space Jesus. That's like reading the new testament and then complaining that there is too much about god and not enough Jesus.

DD, that is exactly what is wrong with Star Wars. It tries to be character based, but ends up trapped by the plot devices. DS9 and BSG are true character stories. It's about the people.

Star Wars is literally just a family soap opera with lasers dude. If people get caught up in the big explosions and lightsabers too much, they may need to get tested for ADHD.

BSG goes so far to make the CIC an actual opera house.

Have to disagree. It wasn't about religion.

BSG spiraled downward at the end, but it's a pretty good ride until then.

The one god thing which we all know what religion it was about wasn't needed.

If they had been trying to solve how many gods or something stupid like that, then ok.

It was about people in a religious war. Which religion is irrelevant.
