I don't really mind anything that happens in the show up until the finale. The opera house conclusion, Cheif having to choke a bitch and "lol, god" are all pretty inexcusable for me, but I enjoy everything right up to these very ending moments. Season 4 does get off the rails, but it's still enjoyable until the end. The two Gaeta mutiny episodes might be my two favorite of the whole series and those happen right at the very end.

Rewatching the clip of getting my men back and a few others brings back memories and a punch in the feels. Usually excellent music scores. (Though seem to recall a few things overused by the end.) Definately suffered from I think a bit of writing as they went for parts so the end ended up a tad on the loony side. Did like the post show other mini series added a bit and holes and such.
Too bad the show Caprica itself was such ass, might have developed into something nicer.
Edit: Fuck gaeta in his little emo fking face. Also I'm a softy so was a bit disapointed with some of the ones they kill in the end, esp the cylon that was like oops my bad I sorry.... blam.

Not to sound too hipster, but I liked the original series better because of some of the reasons you pointed out. But I really liked the reboot too. The original series didn't feel like it was forcing in grittiness and drama. It also probably didn't last long enough to start sucking. I think the running off to find the arrow thing is par for the course in the reboot. There were a few confusing moments, but for the most part, they come back and explain those things eventually. You just have to buy into mysticism and destiny as being valid reasons. For some people, I think it's too much to pretend people as devoutly religious as they are were able to advance science far enough to travel between stars. Also, remember that starbuck is now a chick, so she's automatically more irrational than the old one.
I just finished Caprica not too long ago, and I think I liked that series better than either BSG. There were some obvious things I had to get over. Such as why the guns and cars were all obvious earth guns and cars. I gave them a pass on that because I figure they had better uses for their budget. I was pretty surprised at how they handled Caprica. Straight to DVD and no second season.
Why is this in the movie house? I thought they were doing a new BSG movie or something.

I don't get the hate for the god ending...the entire 4 sessions revolve around religion and the fight between the 12 gods of the humans vs the 1 god of the cylons. Roslyn is Moses leading her people to the chosen land. I did not think it was GREAT but I enjoyed it and it made sense because the rest of the series revolved around the same religious theme. Not to mention, this has all happened before and will happen again is some pretty blunt foreshadowing
This thread should be moved to the TV section.

I think this show is absolutely worth the watch. It's a great show. It has some weaknesses, but when they took it off Netflix, I was pissed. I would periodically go and watch a random episode, and the whole story arc would come back to me, and it was good feels.
But seriously, fuck Baltar.

I was thinking about this show this morning in light of the SJW and racism stuff going on in star wars, and I realized they replaced the 2 main black characters from the original series with non blacks. Boomer and Tighe are the only black characters I can remember, and in the reboot Boomer became an asian woman while Tighe became a white man. Were there any black people in the reboot?
