Please avoid Battlestar Galactica-like plots

Wait? What was wrong with that 80's Galactica? I for one would LUV to see a pilot wearing an "Egyptian Style Pharoah Headress" Helmet!.... and a Doggie Droid! :)

80s Battlestar ruled. This more recent battlestar was great... until the end when they went back in time and 'seeded' ('re-seeded?') humanity on Earth. How droll...

im a cylon!

I was really pleased with the recent Battlestar Galactica series and lost track of it. Wanted to see the ending but are you serious? Tell me that wasn't the ending. That's just being lazy. The where we came theme, whatever it means in Prometheus, can be done right if it's incorporated into the story sensibly and it reveals deeper structure to the story itself. There's plenty of books that tell stories dealing with this premise, but they follow strict rules and don't add these ad hoc twist and turns that make the story line so unbelievable, you get angry for reading the book.

@chthon not about alien: they didn't went back in time and didn't reseed humanity on earth. that Batllestar Galactica story just takes place before humans on earth here evolve faster. the last planet they arrive, is not their 13th colony earth they found in previous episode, but a new liveble planet they call earth. where there are some early evolving humans

Have to disagree. BSG was amazing from start to finish. The ending was great too. Explained what they wanted to and left the rest to the viewer. Don't think Ridley will copy it though.

I loved BSG all the way through. The only part that made me yawn was around the middle of season 3 where, apparently, NBC tried to influence the direction of the show (and almost destroyed it) It had a completely satisfactory ending for me. I was even a little weepy at a couple of parts. Ridley's not the kind of director to copy a storyline, though. I think he'll take it in a different direction.

A planet with some early evolving humans that's supposed to eventually become the modern day earth that you are currently watching TV in (on). Sorry I thought it was a terrible ending (boring, naff, done before etc), and it's had me worried about Prometheus ever since I saw that Big Head. I suppose as longs as the first 95% of the film is good, I can suffer the last bit being "and that's how Man came to be on Earth..." because you know what, I don't CARE how Man came to be on Earth! All I care about is how those fracking eggs got there, what happened to the 1979 SJ and how that freak derelict ship flies and what kind of noise it's engine makes (if it makes a kind of Millenium Falcon noise).

I thought the end of the new BSG rocked. It actually tied into the old series. In the naration of the old series, it spoke of people from the stars that were thought to be the ancestors of the Mayans and the Toltecs. When Galactica jumped for the last time, it damaged the ship so badly that it would never FTL again. They were stuck near a solar system where the third planet was habitable. As you see Galactica closing in, you can see the horn of Africa. An expeditionary crew goes down, amd they find early Homo Sapiens from about 100,000 years ago. (Funny moment when Baltar confirms they could inter-breed and Adama tells him he has a one track mind.) The people from the fleet land, ditch the Galactica and the rest of the fleet in the Sun, and the Free Cylons and their ship FTL, never to be seen again. The very end was a bit bizzare though. Six and Baltar, apparently good and bad angels, were walking through present day New York, commenting that everything has happened before, and will happen again. Then it cut to various scenes of robotic projects that we are engaging in today. What this has to do with Prometheus escapes me. Its a loosely tied prequel, not a remake of the original.

The where and the how humans came to be on earth may both turn out to be elementary after, as Scot has promised to do in interviews, we see the answer to WHY we are here. In that answer, I think, lies the true horror of this film. WHY are we here... Other than that I don't think that BSG should be discussed at length on this forum...

BSG kicked assssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
