Avis de la communauté (6)
While I actually did enjoy season one, (Katee Sackhoff....Nuff said) I agree with the consensus that Season 2 was a leaps and bounds improvement, both in storytelling and production, over it's previous iteration. It did however get a slight case of the "speed wobbles" right around midway through Episode 6, and like the literal "wobbles", they seemed to recover, then over correct, almost spin-out, and then, fortunately, remembered to take their foot off the gas pedal, circumventing going COMPLETELY off the rails,, before (barely) sticking the landing with a (slightly contrived) happy ending. Katee Sackhoff looks like she finally decided to have a burger or two off camera, and looks all the better for it. Justin Chatwin continued doing his David Tennant doppelganger thing, while Samuel Anderson continued to shine as William. The writers made sure to score their SJ points with several forced feeling LBJQT references, though I don't include the romance between A.J. Rivera's "Martinez and JayR Tinaco's "Zayn" amongst them. Tongayi Chirisa's "Richard" had a nice character arc, starting off as rather a douche, but redeeming himself toward the end. Battlestar Galactica's Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh) once again joins Sackhoff's Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in dual roles as her mother, and an alien Mother hallucination, and manages to pull the role(s) off with appropriate aplomb, while Elizabeth Faith Ludlow's "Caz" deserves honorable mention as Niko's sidekick / Number 1. The Aliens somehow managed to channel "The Matrix's" Agent Smith in their assessment of both humanity and apparently every other sentient race in the universe, although it's never quite 100% clear "why all the hostility". However, their assessment wasn't all that wrong given Niko's Season 1 trigger happiness, along with Seasons 2's Carlena Britch, as Colonist Paula Carbone when making first contact. Things were brought to a nice conclusion, although a tiny window was left open for a third go around, if they so desired. It's worth a watch IMO. UPDATE: As stated above, although there appeared to be a quark sized opportunity for another season, alas, the bean counters at NETFLIX have breeched the airlock, and terminated contact with the crew for the foreseeable future.
Alas..., although there was a very tiny window for a possible third season, the bean counters at NETFLIX have breached the airlock, and terminated contact for the foreseeable future.
Thinking that this is most likely going to be the show's last season, let me say that I can't take this show seriously for a lot of reasons. Let's not go into the characters, the acting or the story; all of that and the show itself is trying really hard to take itself seriously without being able to pull of true 'seriousness'. But, not all of it is bad, especially when compared to the first season. The special effects are actually well done and the world's got something that's immersive. Overall, I think this show has a unique style and way of telling its story, which I do appreciate. When I think about it some more, it's a show that's residing somewhere between trash and 'man, this show is really trying hard here'. I'd probably watch a third season of this, if there is one (which I still find unlikely).
show is better than most. I usually get bored, so fare it's still holding my interest.
Season 2 is a lot better than season 1, it´s actualy solid sci-fi. But it´s not great. Why watch it?
