Stargate Atlantis was on my list of shows not to watch. The story plots were no where near as good as SG-1 and the show seemed to be a show of a weak storyline with good special effects and imagination. The show was a slightly better version of Star Trek Enterprise if I were to compare it to something. I dislike SGA and at the same time I had become interested in BSG that I had heard so much buzz, yet I had not seen.
When SG-1 was cancelled, I was a little sad because I loved the story more than the other Sci-Fi TV shows, but I thought that BSG would probably be a great series not knowing anything about it. Unfortunately, BSG was nothing more than awful writing and good special effects. In the show, robots were having babies without any possible way to do it. The humans were not humans, but they were robots because they were "evolved" from the older robot series of Cylons. Yet they had human emotions, functions, and sexual reproduction. The only difference between Cylons and humans was a slight part of their blood. Every turn the show made debaucheries and insults or parodies of America. For example, the cylons invaded a colony, and the good guys, the human race, started using suicide bombings and terrorist's tactics to fight back. There were many other things, but I care not to get into it 100%. There were other parts where the men were all weak and emotional while the women were smacking them around and making them cry and go into a corner. There is so much more, but after this it starts getting ridiculous. BSG had made all of SGA and every other SCI-FI flick look ten times better.
SG-1 being cancelled was a sad thing and big mistake for the SCI-FI channel. Putting wrestling on that channel was a foolish ideal. Whatever the SCI-FI channel was thinking of, it was clearly not thinking of the viewers. I have migrated to SGA, but I can not stand that it is a great show because SG-1 was a lot better, but BSG has made it better. My new reference was not is it good? My reference had become does it have a story. Thank God. It could be as bad as BSG. Now I like SGA and SG-1. I even like Enterprise and Voyager, as long as it is not as bad as BSG.
To conclude, BSG was a horrid and awful mistake for the SCI-FI channel to continue such a bad idea or show. SGA was not as bad as I thought. Every SCI-FI show could have been even worse than they were, and BSG has proved to be the most atrocious show to even exist in my opinion. Whoever said that it was great must not have ever read a book in their life. The short story comic dialogues I wrote as a child were better than BSG. They also don't explain anything. SGA is a good show because, once again, it could have been so much worse. There are many more things that I could point out, but I was simply talking about a difference between SGA and BSG. I did not want to talk about the particulars, because I wanted to speak on the major differences and the blunder of the SCI-FI channel.

Post a CommentI cannot understand why people are sucked into BSG. I mean, so many people were sucked into BSG that the Stargate series made its departure to do the same exact thing.
I agree that BSG seems to have taken a drama and infused Sci-fi into it. I'm sorry, but I am not entertained by, "real human emotions," I don't care how deep it is. I want to watch a sci-fi show that builds on the story with each iteration. The story is what keeps me watching, not the damned overly dramatic script.
You are an idiot, and you write in incomplete sentenses that make as little sense as you claim can be made of BSG. Wait, you probably didn't understand that; it was no doubt beyond you. Maybe if you were smarter, you'd have enjoyed BSG.
While Stargate Atlantis is a normal Sci-Fi action/adventure type show that also has some comedic value. To me Battlestar Galactica is more of an over-dramatized soap opera that has some sci-fi thrown into the plot. I love both Stargate series while I just could never get in the new Galactica.
I'd say BSG is better quality show with better storylines, but I'd probably watch Stargate more times, because you love the quirky characters and the dialogue.
