BSG fans, are you watching The 100? It's BSG meets Lost and it's way better than I expected after a really rough pilot.

I am watching it and enjoying it way more than expected. I started to watch for the hotties but continued to watch because it was awesome!


And Octavia.

It's shockingly good. The characters are smarter than the terribly dumb behaviors exhibited by the characters on Lost, and the sci-fi space and earth plots are compelling and fresh. The social aspects definitely evoke BSG.
 
So this thread made me pull out the blu-rays for the first time in awhile and fire up Razor (extended cut)

It really is a mean little action-movie version of Battlestar. That it manages to blend those bigger/dumber aspects as cleanly as it does with the shit that goes down on the Pegasus is pretty remarkable. Granted, it also trips over itself more than a few times (and the commentary with Moore & Taylor makes sure to point out every one of those snags) but when you consider how both The Plan and Blood & Chrome turned out, that Razor worked the way it did seems even more special. That commentary makes it even moreso when you realize just how the project came together, and how the structure of the thing was essentially jigsawed together in post.
