BSG Mini-Series Script Commentary

Oct 07, 2009 10:09

So I managed to get my hands on the mini-series script, what's clearly a draft of what we eventually got, and felt compelled to write commentary. I mean it confirms my opinion that RDM writes some truly crappy dialogue at times there is some serious "Well, as you know, Bob" going on, a few interesting scene changes, some major character differences ( Read more... )

I haven't even read more than like, the first tiny bit of this, but ALL OF THE COLONIES ON ONE PLANET = SO MUCH MORE LIKELY than finding TWELVE HABITABLE PLANETS in ONE FRAKKING SYSTEM.

Suck it, Kevin Grazier!

Okay, I'm done. I'ma let you finish ;)

On the other hand, it makes a space based military pretty pointless.

Not if they're concerned about a Cylon attack-- presuming (as I've not finished reading yet) that they still left the planet for another homeworld.

But that's just it, no one is really concerned about a cylon attack. They haven't heard from them in 40 years. Also why have a weapons storage so far out if there's nothing remotely in that area, that it's so far away they have to jump out there? It would make more sense if some planet passed by it in passing.

And if you're gonna harp on multiple habitable planets? Harp on Firefly too. :)

Oh, lol, it's not that I'm not willing to suspend my disbelief re: multiple habitable planets in a single system. I'm totally chill with it in Firefly, Star Wars, Star Trek, &c. I'm actually fine with it on BSG, too: it's really mostly that I just dislike Kevin Grazier. My dislike is possibly irrational, but I feel like everyone should be allowed one person that they dislike irrationally. He's my person ( ... )

It's okay, I know what you mean.
