Halfway through the pristine miniseries that precedes the most incisive show about post-9/11 America you realize this is your Battlestar Galactica now. Not the bubblegum, brightly lit ’70s classic, but this, the gritty, claustrophobic, white-knuckle reboot that looks nothing like the original boot....
I watched that show during its original run, All the way through. The miniseries was awesome but the series got tiresome over time…
More recently, I binged all of Stargate: SG-1, Atlantis, the TV movies, and I just finished Universe. The latter suffers from the same problems as the rebooted BSG: the constant tension, without release or catharsis (except for very rare moments…) just becomes tiresome. Main characters constantly at each other’s throats, sometimes in obviously contrived ways, plot-wise… I endured it more than I enjoyed it.
Past sci-fi shows (for example, Berman-era Trek) may have been lacking in tension, but nu-BSG and SG:U had too much. There needs to be a cycle of tension and release in a series, so that each new bit of tension can be enjoyed again.
