"A Truly Exceptional Show" (sic)

Great story, great cast, great experience. I made a point to watch every episode; it was so good it would almost be hard not to.

Although I suppose that the one potentially negative thing that you could say about it is that it's a tad heavy, sometimes philosophical (maybe political) and very military: the survival of the human race, and all that. Well, nothing's perfect.

But if you want sci-fi that is realistic, gritty, and dramatic: this is it.

Update: N.B.: However, there is one small discrepancy; if I saw this show again, I would despise it....

I have, therefore, decided to subtract one point.

.....~~~

But, fuck it, I'm not giving this a '9'; I'm giving it a '4', because it makes me angry as fuck.

Fucking fascists, all they know how to do it fight.

You guys are bitter? You guys want to go on fighting? (There are still 750,000 guys left in the Wehrmacht; we can hold Berlin!) Good, then I hope you go on fighting until all of you are dead.

*Politics and Military are running towards Commander Adama's office, shouting*

Politics: The civies are hungry!

Military: Our warship is catching fire!

*They run into Adama's office, and stop dead*

Mark Wahlberg as "Commander Adama": You guys want to hear a story of betrayal? Well, I'll tell you one, so that you don't wanna hear it no more.

*waves gun in left hand at Politics* You, you're no girl.

*waves gun in right hand at Military* You, you ain't even human.

Politics: C'mon, let's just compare our political rivals to zombies and the nazis; wasn't that fun????

Military: Why is this happening to me? Haven't I killed enough people, Lord?

Mark Wahlberg as "Commander Adama": *still pointing one gun at both of them* You want to know why? You wanna know?

*Because you shot John Lennon! Not Nixon! YOU!!!!*

*two shots, simultaneously*

Mark Wahlberg as "Commander Adama": *standing over both of, 'it'* 'HEY JUDE. DON'T LET ME DOWN.'

'Because it's a fool who plays it cool, by making this world a little, colder.'

..... *sometime later*

Steve Carell: 'When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, Let it be.'

Mark Wahlberg: *drinking* Yeah.

Steve Carell: 'There will be an answer, let it be.... There will be no sorrow, let it be....'

Mark Wahlberg: Yeah.

Steve Carell: You know, Disney bought Star Wars.

Mark Wahlberg: *after pause* Good. I hope they scrap it.
