In Battlestar Galactica, humanity has fled earth after a hostile takeover by AI. On their last remaining ark fleeing to a habitable planet are Cylons, AI disguised as humans, some not even aware they ARE cylons. Fantastic show.

They should have stuck with the fan theory that Cylonism could spread like an STD rather than... Whatever the ending was.

Yeah another contender of 'fantastic show that produces an absurd ending that kind of ruins it'. But it was a wild ride the whole time, and I enjoyed it.

Yeah. What was the deal with those flying motorcycles anyway?

finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

spoilerwhatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons 'casting' visions, but evidently that wasn't what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.

Better than the hyper-mormon ending to Ender's Game~

Wait did I miss something I read that like 10 years ago...

Also, I used to think the message board propaganda thing that the siblings did that radicalized more than half of the voters was far fetched and a little corny. Turns out that was the most realistic part.

I mean books 3 (Xenocide) and 4 (Children of the Mind), as well as his The Memory of Earth series.
