The end of battle star
There was an EVA Nerd here, but now he's gone.
It jumped over the shark long ago. I liked the first season but every season after that got worse and created more plot holes. Sometimes I think the script writers of that series said screw what happened in the past we are just going to make anything we want up now.
i.e. ... This became especially ridiculous in the season finale when the shocker was the revelation that four of the key human characters were, in fact, Cylons -- they didn't know themselves because they couldn't tell a human from a Cylon either! The robot programmed to think he's human is a sci-fi staple, but this veered into the preposterous, especially since one of the characters who discovers he's a Cylon is in his 60s, and previously it has been declared that human-appearing cyborgs have existed only 40 years. (source is Gregg Easterbrook on that one.)

Jeez, first SG-1, and now Battlestar? Sci-Fi must be smokin some darn good pot if they think people are gonna tune in for things like "PainKiller Jane" and "Dr. Who" over those two.
But I agree. BattleStar was getting a little silly.
EDIT: Heh, It just hit me that the acronym for BattleStar is BS. It fits.

Lets hope that we get some fresh material.

After O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) left the show, it jumped the shark. Seasons 9 and 10 were total shit. As someone who had been watching since the very first episode premiered on Showtime, I felt extremely disappointed that they thought they could get away with doing the show without O'Neill or the Goa'ould. Those bastards at Sci-Fi should have given it a proper ending instead of letting go on just so they could claim to have the longest continuously running* sci-fi show of all time.
As for Battlestar Galactica, I haven't seen much, but the episodes I did see were incredibly boring and filled with logic holes.
*Dr. Who doesn't count because it may have existed for a longer period of time, but there were large breaks between series.
Awesomely Shitty

Yeah, Why the fuck(or, frakk, man!) is Tigh, of all people, a Cylon whens he's been in service for 40 years? The fuck is with that shit.

Yeah, nothing against Ben Browder though. I liked him in Farscape, but it was too much of a stretch to think that he could replace a Stargate icon like RDA. They'd have been better off letting the show die right after the final battle with Anubis. Either that or just replace him with an even more powerful Goa'uld to keep it going a little longer.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but SG-1 technically isn't dead just yet. There's currently two straight to DVD movies planned. Stargate:The Ark of Truth, and Stargate: Contiuum.
Somehow I see this series going on indefinitely, like the Star Trek movies.
Oh, and Vala's hawt!

I actually knew about these, and I was very happy to hear that RDA would be returning for "Stargate: Contiuum." Still, it isn't the send-off most fans were hoping for. For years they talked about doing a second feature film that would wrap up the SG-1 universe. Had they taken a couple of years off after Season 8 to work on that, I think all of the fans would have been extremely happy. I would have rather seen one excellent, high-production-quality film (starring the regular cast only, sorry Vala fans, and no fucking Orii), instead of two shitty TV seasons and two made for DVD movies. A bittersweet end to SG-1, I suppose.

It was good through the first 5 episodes of season 3, then stunk.
****The writers said previously that even guaranteed infinite time....they would intentionally end the series after AT MOST 5 seasons, and they were already preparing to condense it into four;
it was the same old "the network wanted us to make standalone episodes to attrack more viewers" things. Haha, now that it's the final season they can just go INSANE and make an "End of Eva" style ending.
