The very last episode ruins the series completely. A waste of time.


Ya, the entire last season makes the lament. How do you ruin killer robots, robots with nukes that killed nearly all humans....HOW I ASK, HOW!!!!

first two seasons = best tv EVAR!! Last two seasons = huh??????
Last Episode = WTF????????????


Amen, I actually pretend that the seasons after the first episode of the third season don't exist.

It's good sci-fi. Follows a serialized format with a story arch lasting the season. The allegories are really good (Iraq war, Terrorism) which I think was season 3.. and of course everyones favourite Cylon who you want to frak (sorry, nerdy BG joke).

The problem with the show for me, is that they didn't know where they were going with the stories. Running into the same problem that 'Lost' did with many loose threads, making season 4 (the final series) the worst by far, ending with an un satisfying conclusion. There were also some heavy religious beats throughout the series which I didn't care for.

But the video is accurate, at the end of every episode "Awww you can't leave my hanging on that, let's watch the next one".>> ^zombieater:

So is it good?

I wouldn't have minded watching that one, either... lets hope the deadpool miners manage to find it

Based on the music, is this the new Battlestar Galactica promo? Can't wait!

Babylon 5 is the gold standard of blending story arc and episodic television. It was written from the start to last five years. Some of the scenes and characters are burned into my mind, but it has been so long. I really need to watch it again. I'm sure the CGI is dated now, but at the time it was fun.

You can't even compare this with Battlestar "makin' it up as we go" Galactica. Bablyon 5 also didn't make you want to slit your wrists every damn episode. It could make you laugh as well as cry. That's what good writing is.

One thing that was really sad was the cancellation and station change between seasons 4 and 5. The main story arc was abbreviated and wrapped up in season 4 because nobody knew if season 5 would even happen. Though tragic, season 5 still had some amazing episodes, with character moments and a story arc that looked almost as if it was planned all along.

Every once in awhile I pull out Firefly and watch them. To me it's just like Arrested Development...I could feel like crap and it'll make me feel amazing. I wish there was more but I'm damn grateful that there was something.


Sometimes it's best things die early before they sour. I pretend the first and second seasons of Battlestar Galactica are all that exist!
