Angry Steve's Review of Battle Star Galactica

The new Battlestar Galactica mini-series was the biggest waste of four hours I have ever seen. I can't believe I was so hyped up on that. The first 10 minutes I was laughing at it. How many cliches can they pack into the show.

Talk about a roller coaster ride. The very first scene, where the human emissary is waiting to see if anyone shows up...and the doors open, I was like, wow cool. Then the stupid chick walks in in a red dress and my hopes went crashing through the floor. I just started thinking, here we go again.

My major beef is...the cylons are machines created by humans, they turn against us and cause a war. This has been done 100,000 times in sci-fi stories. Cylons create a way to look just like humans do...which provides an easy way to have a hot chick in the story--this has also been done 100,000 times.

Also, what really pissed me off was that there was no ending to the story. After four hours we are right back where the original series was. Gimme a break.

The "action" sequences were laughable. Two cylon ships jump out of hyperspace and everyone starts yelling into their comlinks. Panic ensues, cylons disappear, and I am trying not to nod off. I did like how they have the "realistic" physics of space flying, and the muted sound in the space sequences. That was a nice touch.

The new Battlestar Galactica just illustrates why the sci-fi genre is dying.

Didn't you think it was kind of retarded how everyone started kissing on each other. Hot chick and Baltar, Secretary's Assistant and black chick, Hanger Bay guy and chinese girl...etc. Hi, I am a cylon come to destroy your race, can I kiss you now? Oh, I'm just doing this so the sci-fi geeks watching at home can get off. Hi, my name is Yri'ri from the planet Gorkon. I have come to enslave and kill your pathetic species. BUT FIRST I MUSS KISS ALL FEMALES MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THEN THE PLANET WILL BE MINE.

Okay I am done going off. If they make it into an ongoing series I am not going to bother with
