Excuse the ignorance, but what's the ship from 148000? It's looks like BS Galactica?
The reboot of BSG places it 150,000 years before our present.
This made a lot of people very angry. I, for one, liked it. YMMV.
When you say reboot, I was thinking that Esmail's reboot got made without me knowing about it (entirely possible, I'm pretty OOTL on television). I had to look it up that it died in the crib.
I still consider the 2004 series the actual serious BSG. I was around for the original and it was typical 80s schlock, though I loved it as a preteen.
Likewise. I watched the original as a child and loved it. The 2004 series is some of off the finest TV ever made.
The timeline was fine. The way plot threads came together wasn't fine.
Yeah. I was going to expand on that in the comment and decided not to for brevity.
It was only in the final two episodes that the timeline is established and it was the final two episodes that annoyed a lot of fans.
Season 3 was some of the most riveting television I have ever watched. I’m a bit of a sucker but I still really liked Season 4 despite its pacing, it was a victim of the writers strike.
The Adama Manoeuvre.
OMG.
I didn't care for their implication that we don't have a clear chain of human evolution in a sci-fi show but I also didn't expect that much from a series that had a running and viable theory that Cylonism was an STD.
It's a bit weird though, as the mythological baking of the cast would suggest they colonized earth just before the classical era. Trace, Apollo etc.
