For whatever reason they are cancelling BSG I think it's credit to the integrity of RDM's vision of what good Sci-fi is. As far as Im concerned he doesn't want to cheese out and make crap and if that means stopping a show at 4 seasons then so be it. Ronald D. Moore for president!

Errr, no! ;) how bout those with cool com-badges? B)

Yes... the Eddington stuff was a bit weird. I never quite got that whole scene.. seemed a bit weird that he freaked out that hard.

He even punched Q in the nose.. "Picard wouldn't have hit me!" B)

Ive seen a hand full of them... they're a bit hard to swallow at first, but if you punch through they're not bad. Kirk's acting is pretty bad (reminds me of Andrew Dice Clay with the haircut), but the guy playing Spock is pretty darn good. They are coming out with "Of Gods and Men" sometime which will have several of the actual Star Trek actors in it (i.e. Garret Wang - Harry Kim, Tim Russ - Tuvok, and so on...) If you are a big Trek fan then they are worth watching.. if you are Tenebrae then dont bother. ;) (LOL Tenebrae)

We just watched an episode last night (ep 18?) where Jessica was in a hotel room with the son and they were playing an amaxing looking video game. Who knows what game that was? Im assuming it was an XBOX 360... but ive never even seen one so not sure.

The problem wasnt with the Riker holodeck thing... which i think was cool how it tied everything back to TNG (after all, most Trek fans like to see these kind of connections), but the problem is how you stated, "the sub-par acting". Also, it was just plain stupid that Trip died the way he did. It was like he was racing to die. Also, the way he died didnt make sense according to everything he had already lived through.

She's hot and all, but she's already been ASSimilated... Sorry Borg. ;) I'll continue with Meg's word (Shuttle): Evasive Maneuver Ro (as in Ensign)

The first novels called "Homecoming" deal with the issues they didnt deal with with the show (i.e. 7 of 9, the Maquis, etc...). I think that if you had any other episodes it just would have needed another season... there were too many implications involved with returning to handle in one or two episodes...

One thing that I’ve started to realize about Trek endings is that they are not written just thinking about the tv fans… but written with the mindset of continuing the franchise. Remember that Trek is more than tv… its conventions, cameos, movies, souvenirs, and the most relevant to what I’m going to say: the novels. Each series of Trek is continued by a “relaunch” series of books which picks up from where the TV show ended. I’ve been reading the DS9 relaunch and it flows naturally from where season 7 ended. It also spins off into dozens of other series of books that they sell. My point is that if anything, Star Trek is about making a butt-load of money. So, the TV shows aren’t the end all, but just another part of the bigger money making story-line. It sucks that ENT ended the way it did (which in my opinion was just trying to salvage what they could from a sinking ship), but as for Voyager and DS9, they were endings with a further scope of story expansion in mind. On a sidenote: I’ve noticed that with Voyagers ending, that if I watch it as a stand-alone episode (“hey…lets watch ‘Endgame’ tonight”) that I like it as an ending… but if I watch it at the end of having watched the whole series it leaves me flat. Hmmm….

The end to ENT was pretty bad... however, i dont think Berman is a criminal... remember that a lot of good Trek came under his tutelage... as far as I'm concernced, and what ive discerned from reading articles, having watched a ton of Trek, and being a big Voyager fan, Braggah is the one to blame. Basically, once he took over Voyager (and i mean took over - Piller left, Taylor, and then RDM got the shaft), Trek started going down. TNG was great, DS9 was great, the first seasons of Voyager (esp. s2) were great (and i have to give credit to s5), but basically things changed... under the leading of Braggah, and what i perceive to be his ego, Trek followed the path of bigger boobs, more cameos, and less actually mind excercising Sci-fi. It all ended with Ent... In an interview with RDM, tlaking about his departure of Voyager, he manetioned that Behr had said to him (about his leaving the show with bad feelings) that he had experienced the typical "hollywood ending to a cinderella story". Basically, that's how i view it... big ego's, cut out the people who really love Trek because of your need to be the big boss, and the conclusion is foregone. If anyone is interested in reading RDM's comments I can find them and post them later.

It sounds like you have a problem finishing ;)

I figure by the 50th year anniversary of Trek we will have a new series. And im sorry for all the ENT fans (this isnt a slam), but I've really tried to get into the show .. i mean, i WANT to like all things Trek (heck, I even read the books).. but no matter how hard i try i cant get over its mediocrity.

I think the best idea would be to make a 4 or 5 hour miniseries about this... i'm not sure im interested in BSG "Dallas" as RDM put it. HOWEVER... 4 or 5 hours prequel... could be great!

Can you post a link for RDM's comments? Also... are there two Caprica shows? Seems like we are talking about a prequel, but then i read somewhere about a spin-off series. Are they one and the same?

Why would they do this? Are the ratings that bad? I can't imagine so as this is got to the best tv on tv. How can "Funniest Home Videos" run forever, but they consider cancelling BSG? Maybe we as the public get what we deserve... yeesh!

Case in point ;D

Anyone ever notice the similarity in looks, behaviour, and self importance (at least in the early seasons) between Baltar and Brannon Bragah? hmm..... (scratches chin) Who wrote BSG again? :)

Well.. after all this time we've finally gotten into watching BSG and are now finishing up season 2. Im sure its been said a million times in this forum, but not by me, so ill say it again. This has to be about THE best show on tv.

oh my gosh! they actually try to come off as if they are just scraping by trying to make a living! the poor music industry & their misunderstood, diamond wearing, bentley driving selves... i especially like the part about the work of love that the artists sacrifice themselves for. i know a lot of people who sacrifice a heck of a lot & dont get paid the wages the music industry is making. im not against artists making bank, but pleeaase dont paint them as some sort of martyr.

what a bunch of turds. what I would like to know , beyond how much the industry has "lost" due to privacy, is how much they've gained through people having to re-buy dvd's & cds because they got scratched or damaged.
