It's amazing to think that's 16 years ago now - it would be like someone in 1990 discussing a show from the mid 70s. My life was very different in 2004. Perhaps it's just the age I'm at, but the two decades since 2000 seem quite amorphous and indistinct, as compared to the very clearly defined preceding decades.
Towards the end, I felt that they didn't really know where they were going, and were grasping trying to draw all the threads together, which I didn't find satisfying, and which I thought also weakened the character drama.
Hm, I didn't feel that at all. Or at least, I don't remember.
I particularly liked the idea that, that strain of humanity ended up being our ancestors. Is that right? Am I remembering that right? I don't remember much about the mythology to be honest, other than that.
Some of the later reveals were just head-scratchers that, imo, didn't add anything of quality to the story. Like…
Kara Thrace being some kind of angel and disappearing into thin air.
On a personal note, one of the reasons I remember the beginning of season 3 fondly, is that there was a time lapse, during which Lee had gone to the bad place, and let himself go. I went through a rough patch back then, and piled on the pounds - which henceforth has been known among my associates as the Fat Lee Adama phase.
I think I tried watching it once, just out of curiosity, but it felt even more cheesy that Star Trek TOS. And since there was no connection, I skipped it.Ahh you kiddies; I remember the original BSG which probably came out before many of you were born!!
I really liked the first two seasons of The Expanse when Thomas Jane had a primary role, but I lost interest during the 3rd season. I should probably go back and give it another shot.
I won't say how or why because it would be a spoiler, but Thomas Jane has a primary role again in season 4.
