Is this a George Romero production?

lol

Yea I saw this yesterday, sad indeed. And seeing as I'm 34 its definitely a bit scary when I think about it given his age. When I read the headline about his passing, I instantly pictured him saying his last line in the Series Finale of Angel. Him somberly saying: "Good night, folks"

I've come to the following conclusion. Darth's points are valid, and there were many things the show did. And even with RDM stating that they did make a lot of it up as they went (they didnt try to hide it) the finished product was still very good. Not perfect, but good. Still, considering...

Goes back to one thing that annoys me most about TV and Movies in this situation. When someone shoots somebody....nobody checks a fucking pulse. Or puts an extra round in his head right between the eyes to make sure. No, instead they shoot once, assume death and run off all distraught only to...

OK WTF people. Its Friday and seriously no one has posted about THAT ending to the episode from this week yet? Damn! (spoiler below) Talk about a freakin paradox. Interesting to see where this goes.....

So no thoughts on my post about the final ending and the Hera stuff then? Must have been lost with all the God ranting. ;)

Again. Dead Horse. There were plenty of reasonable answers. Not every single thing was answered, but there were plenty of them. And sorry, but saying that part of things were a "Gods Will" *IS* an answer. Obviously not one you like. But its an answer. Period. But once again, I feel that...

Ok.....so moving past this whole God thing, I want to post about my final thoughts / analysis on the finale, now that I have had a bit to digest the very ending. This is mainly dealing with the final revelation of the finale in that the BSG folks were actually alive some 150,000 years in our...

Probably. Although its not stated Kara is an Angel at all. In fact, the only two after the finale that present themselves as Angels are "Head Six and Head Baltar." Kara was human. She is likened more to "Gandalf the White" being "brought back to finish her task". While God may have had a...

A few things to keep in mind here: 1) I don't think "God" was ever directly a part of anything BSG. But I do believe the "Head" Six and Baltar were "Angels" of a sort. 2) The original BSG series had "Angels" and "the Devil" in it as well, but they took the more traditional Sci-Fi approach...

Chilli. Maybe you missed it in my prior post. But its one thing to have a sci-fi show like Babylon 5 on for five seasons then out of the blue at the end write it all off to being "Gods influence." BSG had the "God factor" involved since DAY ONE. God was ALWAYS mentioned by the characters and...

It would be one thing, and very VERY Deus Ex Machina if they pulled the God thing out of their rear ends totally. But frankly, God has been involved in this show since the miniseries. Its ALWAYS been part of the mythos and the dialogue.....to the point it really got annoying at times. So its...

Why should any of that matter? Sci-Fi Science. Fiction. There was plenty of science in BSG. Also some fiction. Why does having God as a mild plot device get people on the whole "it isn't science fiction" soapbox? Makes no sense.

There is an interesting post-finale interview with RDM linked below. He states that originally it was supposed to be really clear that the nukes knocked the colony out of orbit and that it did indeed get sucked into the black hole destroying it and all aboard, but that in edits in post...

Sorry about the triple post, but I was reading another thread on the finale and someone posted this: "Starbuck the White eh?" Never though of it in those terms, but yea, she sure was Ghandalf wasn't she? That's probably the best explanation/comparison made so far.

Re: New Joss Whedon show I think I was able to sum up my feelings on what this show is missing and describe it so it makes sense. First off, I wasn't really expecting it to be like Buffy/Angel/Firefly with quirky dialogue and humor. I enjoy lots of other shows that don't have that just fine...

Not sure about D'Anna, but it was supposed to be known that The Colony was completely destroyed along with all on it. That said, are there still fleets of Baseships out there? Sure. And apparently they are one jump away from our Earth (unless it was a super LONG jump). Still, since we are...

OK so here are my thoughts. All in all, I agree with GKE in that going in with low expectations was key, because I was pleased with it. The final attack on "The Colony" was pretty damn cool. I see I wasn't the only one that thought the Colony looked like a Shadow Battle Crab. As soon as we...

Re: New Joss Whedon show It was the best episode so far. The obvious choice for the inside person is Topher's assistant, but we will see. I was also expecting the neighbor to be a plant, but not an imprinted plant, so that was a nice touch. This episode had 3-4 different threads going on in...
