It’s a space soap opera with some of the first sci-fi “girl-boss” characters. It was a magnet for Joss Whedon fans. It’s emotionally compelling but it’s got plot holes you can drive a truck through.



I liked it, I did think it went a little off the rails after the time skip or whatever it was. I did not like the end.


I like tv shows and movies that make little to no sense too but I don’t frantically pretend like they do. I’ve met a lot of diehard Battlestar fans that treat casual criticism about the show like it’s popular political blasphemy.


It was all pretty consistent and logical until the New Caprica story arc ended. After that, they went nuts.


I still think it’s laughably ridiculous that the Secretary of Education became President. If the human race was an endangered species the military or a clandestine agency would be running everything.
