They also screwed up the Thrones stuff....why can't these idiots at Funko make LOTR quality toys?!

Oh yes, they weren't writing male or female characters well anymore....but the fact that they used to be outright praised for writing female characters well when so few others shows ever have....that was a real blow.

I loved Cally in Seasons 1 and 2 and still do - she got ruined after they had no idea what to do with Tyrol/Cally in Season 3, pushed the needless Final Five crap in, then bluntly killed her off. That little "wouldn't it be cool" moment by Ron for shock value killed the show. Cally was a fandom darling in Seasons 1…

The funny part is that in the podcasts, Ron explained that he came up with the Final Cylon separately from the other "Final Four" - that is, the "Final Five" was an idiotic idea they came up with in Season 3 as a hasty retcon, and in the season 3 finale he picked those four at random......but he explained in the…

Yes, it was almost comical - the old "Stuff the Girlfriend in a Fridge when she's no longer serving as a prop in the storyline of the male character trope. TheMarySue.com recently reviewed the whole series, with a weekly episode recap, and oh man as Season 4 progressed and Dualla had nothing to do, she just started…

This was the *only idea* they had for Apollo going into season 3, and indeed, for ALL of Season 3. That was the storyarc of your MALE LEAD. Dear God this show was falling apart.

Ron Moore later admitted in as many words that they only paired Apollo with Dualla in order to create tension for Apollo/Starbuck.....but that then they had ZERO on-screen chemistry....and worse....they didn't really include any of the setup scenes.

Here's the great irony, the greatest irony of all: Ron Moore was writing a show about....the difficulties of maintaining command structure while under pressure of limited resources and time. Adama and the command crew trying to do their jobs under pressure of Cylon attack and, as a refugee society, struggling with…

Oh I don't blame them - such things were in motion so long in advance that the rebranding didn't really synch up with Caprica nor was it meant to. Even so, my basic point is "for all of the hype you made about what a great rebranding you were making, you didn't even have much to launch with, and the shows you…

Miniseries and Seasons 1 to 2:

With the end of Warehouse 13, I would point out that the *last* SyFy Channel show from 2010 is "Haven" - though even that is not completely original but based on a Stephen King novel (good for it, not them). And Warehouse 13 was a good show.

I point this out to highlight how utterly the attempt to roll out the…

What the hell is wrong with these lofaszt Hungarians?!

The final season of the show as a studio-meddling hack job, which most fans don't even consider part of the actual show. Nothing was lost by trying to pretend it didn't happen.

My god, this is like some kind of real-life movie. Screw "Gravity" — they just need to splice together 2 hours worth of documentary footage of this, and people will *pay actual money* to see it.

It ends with Leia's hologram in R2D2 - where's the rest of it?

Actually, I saw the story of Ripley 8 as kind of fascinating - particularly the memorable scene where she meets her "sisters" and mercy-kills Ripley 7.

While it was "mad scientist-y"....it was trying to be. Was it macabre? Yes. It was trying to be these things and succeeded. Not *quite* as grounded and…

Oh don't get me wrong: Alien 3 is very cinematic, goes back to tense horror (it is a David Fincher-directed film, after all) and the palpable bleakness oozes through it. Even so, the revolving door of fired writers and executive meddling has become the stuff of Hollywood legend, and fundamentally, it didn't need to…

Yes - the cuts are so rough in some parts, the characters so lightly fleshed out, that a large part of me thinks that most of the horror was left on the cutting room floor.
