I don't know... I was 100% on board till season 2.5 ! The whole concept of BSG to me was a chase for survival, in space... Space fights, logistical issues, are there cylons on board, etc...

....and it was NOT getting old.

I liked the caprica stuff and the planet of the ancestors search too because it tied in nicely and that was still Sci-fi stuff... Then that season finale threw it all away, and it's not been better ever since !

Now, the new story line takes place in what seems like an afghan refugee camp, they effed up the characters in twenty different ways, and the whole thing reeks of cost savings to me. We could not afford too many more space stuff, so let's use some mud and tents for a while, that's cheap ! I don't quite see any Sci-fi stuff anymore, more like national geographic and (admitedly disturbing) justifications for terrorism, and I really hated the one year jump.

I am especially not buying how the cylons, who were hell bent on nuking humankind, all of a sudden want to play occupation force and treat humans as pets. Why bother to occupy the place and not simply nuke it ? What changed ? Caprica 6 obviously is not inthe majority! (see head shot). Also, I don't buy the change of heart : the galactica Sharon is now Adama's best buddy, so are we going to see mixed crews of human/toasters now ? She married agathon too ? I thought human-cylon marriage was not in the constitution ;-)

Mostly, I miss seing some viper flying and shooting stuff...

Despite all this, I cannot NOT watch it, I know it's going get good again at some point and it's much deeper than other TV shows...
