Familiarity, meet contempt
OK, the more I watch Battlestar Galactica, the more I’m hating it. I just can’t get past the hackneyed, deus ex machina, by-the-numbers writing. It’s got a serious case of 24-itis. When ultra narcissist Gaius doesn’t turn in Cylons because it would be too much effort, you know the writing sucks. A real self-interested motivation would be to turn the Cylon in for the glory and life preservation. Not ratting out Boomer the second she leaves the room is dogshit writing and the next episode with Ellen is straight out of Jack Bauer bullshit plot twist 101.
OK, OK, I do like the recasting of the old Capt. Apollo as the new terrorist, Tom Zarek.
I may just have to write my own damn spec script for this show and show ‘em how it’s done, yo.
