we finished the series now and i still like the ending: as an agnostic i was fine with the God & Angels angle. It was good enough for Arthur C Clarke & Gentry Lee in the Rama series so deffo alright for BSG. Didn't like the flashback scenes in the finale...felt like a waste of time when all you want is to get to the action. Enjoyed the reveal of the Opera House dream. Daybreak a solid 8/10 as finales go, but the series as a whole is a proper 10/10.

Still The Plan to go (how good is Dean Stockwell?), and then Blood & Chrome (which I haven't yet seen myself). Then if we can be arsed we'll go through Caprica, also not seen that yet.

Apparently there's plans for a BSG big-budget movie. The Hunger Games director will helm and it will be a new story with new characters. Possibly taking place in real Earth, with possibly that exploring Cylon Baseship full of Centurions returning to pay a visit 150,000 years later.
 
I have never seen any of the modern BSG series. As a nipper I really liked the old one, but I had to agree with my dad who always used to comment on how good their English was.

The Plan is interesting but a bit superfluous, Blood And Chrome is completely superfluous to be honest.

Caprica was starting to get good and then they cancelled it!!

Slightly disagree about this. They are additional extras that I feel only add extra emphasis to main plot.
I actually enjoyed Blood and Chrome.

Fair enough mate. Blood and Chrome was just too far from the series for me in terms of tone and style, visual effects, complete change of cast. Wasn't keen.

Yes, I know what you mean about the different style etc but, for me it was like the B&W prequel to a modern film. Whether that's what they were aiming for is a different matter but, for me, it only added to the background of the main series. That said, it was very different to Caprica which, using my analogy, would be the 'radio' version but, was more in tune with BSG itself?
 
@Merseyzig i've never seen the old one. looks well daft tho'.

@ste d' indica saw The Plan in 2009 so it'll be a rewatch coming up...i really liked it, mostly because of Dean Stockwell's superlative performance - also interesting to get that perspective. Not expecting much from Blood & Chrome but if it's as good as the young-Adama flashbacks from season 2 (where he sky-battles a centurion then stumbles upon flesh experiments) then i'll be happy. Sadly i gather it's not the same young actor, he was bang-on in those flashbacks.


@tadao so caprica's worth a watch you reckon? i don't mind it only being one season...hoping for some extra mythology to the BSG universe.

I really enjoyed Caprica, it was cancelled far too early, much like BSG nearly was!
