Should I give this show a shot? I watched the first season and liked it well enough, but I heard it had one of the worst endings in TV

it for regular patrols ‘just in case’

Man I need to watch BSG again. Such an amazing piece of art.
Camelspotting
How far in do I need to get to decide if I like it?
blzrdphoto
It took me about 5 episodes personally but I could see people getting hooked with 3.
Capnrory
The movie plus a couple of episodes of season 1 should have you hooked
Camelspotting
I might try again, I tried to start a while ago and remember thinking it was bad. But it's been so long I don't remember what I disliked.
Appel99
Greatest sci-fi ever.
lehenry
Have you seen "The Expense" ?
intergalacticbuttjazz
Can't think of any others that also managed to tackle the complex lows and highs of human nature so realistically whilst in Si-Fi realm
Dalumbr
That's a really really big call dude. I'd say a lot of things beat it. Like Stargate
Cheomesh
If that's literally the only other Sci Fi you've ever watched, sure.

OutoftheDarknessIntotheLight
Battlestar Galactica 2005. Really good science fiction, but be prepared for a completely idiotic religious subplot through five seasons
Bystandr
You have to suspend your memory of the original, and be able to allow for some elements, but this quote and many other things are why this
Bystandr
show went so far beyond what most sci fi has done to date. It stands out and is acclaimed for a reason. Check it out !
Dagordae
2005 Battlestar Galactica. Tries to be really deep and meaningful. Tries being the operative word. Lots of random asspull plot twists.

I am STRONGLY opposed to ex-military becoming cops but I am VERY strongly IN FAVOR of ex-MPs being cops, because they WERE cops.

schlummi
Military police in germany deals only with military issues. Can't give orders to civilians, arrest them etc. With some exceptions.
InsouciantSausage
This is true of the United States. Jurisdiction ends outside of government owned property, i.e. bases.
InsouciantSausage
Unless you're me circa 2014 and get called on State Emergency Duty to Ferguson MO for riot control.
schlummi
Y, that's not legal in germany. For example to prevent federal defence minister from kicking state governments out of power with military.
InsouciantSausage
Well, I was in the National Guard. In addition to serving federally overseas, we were subject to activation by our State government.
InsouciantSausage
Sometimes for floods, sometimes for public order. I don't think any other country has a similar system, interesting enough.

The new version. Not that the old version is bad, not in the slightest. But the new version is far more intense
NotShakespearesSchool
I don't think intense is even the right word. You end up even feeling bad for Gaius -- how did they do that???????
Johnsky
Cause this Gaius is just trying to survive, and isn't commanding the cylon forces to destroy the hunans.

In revolutionary times they were both basically the local militia. many many Ppl have no concept of the various ways societies function.
Bystandr
The colony governor all the way up to the state and in all places this quote can be relevant. That you play such a dynamic in comparing the
Bystandr
dichotomy of the separation and unified force tells me you appreciate the impact as well. There are states other than Britain, Canada and
Bystandr
the US that have a clear separation of these and other departments that deal with state and civil security.
dietderpsy
The first police force in Rome was civilian.
CanadianMapleWarrior
If your referring to the Urban Cohorts created by Augustus, actually they fall more closely under the term gendarmes, even though that term.
CanadianMapleWarrior
Hadn’t been invented yet, the urban cohorts were technically regular legionaries, and could have and did on rare occasion fight in battles,
CanadianMapleWarrior
However your correct in that their main prerogative was to police the city of Rome, but little difference in their methods of policing
CanadianMapleWarrior
Their equipment and their barracks are much the same, they simply drew higher pay and weren’t expected to go on campaigns

Took me a minute to get into this show, wasnt sure if I'd like it. Last episode, when they reached Earth...I cried. I was a 34 yo male then.

SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
I was super interested in the concept and watched the entire show trying to love it and waiting for it to stop being stupid, it didn't.
Redballoonsatan
Classic show, glad they didn’t drag it out too long. Ended at just the right time.

while i loved the original, they really fucked that up dragging their original premise too long into welp now there's space soviets town...

I think so too. I was used to the 6-7 season shows, Star Trek for ex; but this one hit it right with just four.
carbonpage
It's been years since I finished it but there was only four? God damn, every episode counted
WhatDoYouMeanIcantStickmyFingersthere3
There are four seasons, but there is the mini-series which leads up to S1;E1. I think that is three or four episodes?

Completely agree. Love it when the shows know when to quit.

FUCK YOUR SPOILER.
Zoroasterisk
'cause you care so much about the dramatic twists and turns of an 8 year old show, right?
siler7
Yes. I was about to start watching it next week.
Zoroasterisk
The fact that they get to Earth at the end ruins exactly 1 twist, one which isn't even that big of a deal narrative-wise. Nobody even said
siler7
Oh, you mean the one that made a grown man cry?
Zoroasterisk
anything about the really really juicy twists, which would much more impactful.

intergalacticbuttjazz
Thought 60 seconds was pretty quick to be fair
GadenKerensky
I still don't like how it ended.
SpikeTheGoat
I'm with you. I sort of liked the show less and less as it went. Still liked it mind you, but seemed more intense/fun earlier.
GadenKerensky
I preferred the military aspects, felt it started getting too 'supernatural' towards the end, and the end felt like 'and then everyone died'
strideo
The season where they tried to settle on the crappy planet was when it was over for me. Completely destroyed the show's momentum.
WhatDoYouMeanIcantStickmyFingersthere3
Yeah, when Baltar was Pres? I was not a fan of that little section either.
strideo
Yeah, that was it.
