The show has already been renewed for 20 eps. So for the next year at least there is no chance of BSG being cancelled. And that's a fact.

Besides which, it has received unprecedented ratings, promotion, and attention from far beyond Sci-Fi's demographic. In other words, it is their most successful show in history.

You sure you didn't fall prey to an Aprils Fools joke early? I can't for a second believe that Sci-Fi listens to a few negative emails for successful shows, and ignores the tens of thousands of emails for their cancelled shows.

Writing email and letters in support, is never going to hurt. But don't fret, BSG is safe.

It more than likely the Whiners of the old show bandwagon.

Its not a normal scripted show, old school is ok but cheesy! I love the new RL setting or what if and what not.

Wish more shows were written like the new BSG.

Hear! Hear!

Those are all good points! :mrgreen:

Well, it seems that some old fans are just disappointed with how the new series turned out, as well as scifi fans that don't like the "adult" take on scifi.

And those sidebar lights on those choosey "Egyptian" helmets didn't serve the same purpose and have the same effect?

I do admit that Ron Moore cliche #112(2001 A Space Odyssey style pressure suit helmets) skidded right by me.

Points in order;
1. New "Battlestar Galactica" music is awful.
2. The old Cylons Centurions were better, but the biocylons(created for budget reasons in the writing) add a "fifth column" element of political terrorism that I like.
3. Its a different reality matrix, mate. If you can't see that the new characters interact-especially Olmos and McDonnell, then you are missing the drama right in front of you. Don't confuse "charisma" for acting; though Grace Park has "charisma" in spades. Now Tricia Helfer who plays Six, the Heifer on the other hand....can one say MOO?

There! There! :lol:

Anyone who parallels evolves "disco" fashions who reaches Earth would have to be "re-educated" the Chinese way in my opinion.(Shudder)

Which piece of cheese er Battlestar were you addressing? :D

Addressed-see above.

The Cylon "goat" has problems I admit-notably its guns would shoot its wings off in the universe we inhabit.

Addressed-see above.

Obviously I regard this as a superficial analysis of the character of "William Adama" See my review of "The Hand of God" for details.

Aw (expletive deleted) bias! Don't you just love it! Points in order again.

1. It is about the social order of an advanced society under the threat of terror and political stress while recovering from a shattering event. The aftereffects of Genocide, plus labratting by a superior enemy isn't science fiction?
2. Old ideas; new approach? See the Iliad and the Aeneid for details, chum.
3. If it sells soap then in the universe in which I live, it isn't a waste of time and money! Something has to pay for the actors and sets!

I suppose, but I HATE sour grapes. I prefer to drink my wine, and save my vinegar for tossed salads. :)

On THAT I absolutely agree! :D

To be absolutely honest at this time, i don't give a felder if it flies or not. I've had ENOUGH of the constant bickering of these fans and everyone beating other posters over the head with their slant on it whether that be the technical, or the military or the science, or even jst putting the agenda that's it's a good show. I just don't like this fan base. they don't agree on much of anything and they fight all the time. i lke LEXX better, the fan base was more fun and more open.

Good luck, though on getting support. Though you don't need it now, this show after 20 eps could be in deep doo doo, and you'll need to unify by then.

I refuse to duel in threads about a fracking TV show, and I learned this from personal experience, just because you write more does not mean you win the arguement. Less is better in our busy world, use more description, lees words.

Toodles all, have fun or try to "cause this is what's needed.

I agree with your points. After double checking, it appears it is *not* an April Fool's joke. Sad to hear about people actively trying to cancel *any* show that others are enjoying. BSG will live or die on it's own merits like any other program. If you think about it, if one is enjoying a program and it appears to be doing well in the ratings, there's no reason why someone will take the time to write. Believe the e-mail is an attempt to take a pro-active approach to counter any negative campaigning that has been going on. The internet radio broadcast also confirms what was in the e-mail. The posting is just an FYI, nothing more or less.

An opinion. You're entitled.

Lives or dies on merits. Advertisers decide based on viewer numbers. Optimistic. Quality sells.

You put own dog in this fight. Reply to dog, "Bite me!" :lol:

Argument.

Less.

Succinct?

Cheers! :D

You're boring me.

Is that succinct enough for you?

Or do want to troll some more?
