1. For those who have never watched "Battlestar", like sci-fi/plot/space mecha type, have a reincarnation complex, are worried about the future of human beings, and like to explore the naked exposure of human nature under extreme conditions, this drama is highly recommended. This will be your rare entertainment time. At least, you can't find anything similar in Chinese movies and TV. At present, China does not even have a science fiction drama, let alone such a high level.
*****************Off-topic start ********************
Here I want to complain about the current TV genre. "Mainland: Revolutionary spy war type, women in the palace intrigue or some great legends, urban dramas about mother-in-law, buying a house, police, etc., or remakes of various mythical dramas. Korean dramas: based on history, Cinderella/Frog Prince type , interspersed with various sensational tears or deliberately funny elements such as terminal illness, half-mother, half-father, and competition for family property. Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas: leading the mainland 10 years ago, now only occasionally attract attention (after all, the local small , there are few people, and the actors and sets are far inferior to the mainland). British dramas: mainly short episodes, less but more refined. American dramas: rich in types, large in size, amazing in the initial stage, good in the middle stage, and everyone is nauseated. , it's over." From the creative perspectives of lines and costume design, plot twists and turns, and popular curiosity, Europe and the United States are indeed advanced. But the weakness is that it is too commercialized, and you don't know what to do when you see it. Therefore, it is often a good story that is deliberately stretched in order to extract more commercial value. thereby losing its artistic value.

2. For those who have watched "Space "Fortress" people, here to discuss its advantages and disadvantages in depth, welcome everyone to make bricks.
Overall, this is an excellent work.
2.1 Advantages
2.1.1 The simplest is that the characters are more distinct, three-dimensional and full. This is a characteristic of good works. On the other hand, it is the facialization of characters, which is either black or white. We prefer imperfect characters to those that are either good or not, or bad that even his sneezes make people terrify.
2.1.2 The setting of suspense is really addicting in seasons 1, 2, and 2.
2.1.3 Imaginative imagination. This is also one of the important charms of sci-fi dramas. It can make people see the impossible future in their lifetime. This satisfies people's curious nature, and to a certain extent relieves people's anxiety and regret about the shortness of life.
The plot of humans creating machines and machines rebelling against humans is not very new. The highlight is the rebirth of Cylon and the setting of a limited number of models in the story. The heavy mechanical sense and the visual effects that are not backward all add to the show.
2.1.4 If there are only sci-fi elements and no connotations that make people think, then the drama can only be simple popcorn. The play puts forward and presents many propositions about human nature and human values: loyalty and betrayal, sacrificing part and redeeming the majority, obedience and rebellion, the relationship between human existence and democratic freedom, whether to trade eternal life for the pursuit of the meaning of short-term life , a life-or-death personal choice. There are still many complex propositions and discussions, which will not be listed here. When faced with these questions, the different answers of different people and the different answers of the same person at different times make people think and ponder. In a context of life and death for the entire human race, discussions of these serious but important issues do not feel empty, but immersive.
2.2 Inadequate
2.2.1 Almost all the protagonists in the play are magic sticks. To find the road map of the earth, we do not rely on science, but rely on God’s dreams, some gods and ghosts, and specious words of prophets. A large part of the promotion of the plot is realized by these prophecies, dreams and the like. The greatest scientist in the show, in addition to inventing an instrument to detect Cylon under the guidance of the illusion in his mind at the beginning, in seasons 3 and 4, he simply changed his body and became a religious leader, constantly nagging in his mouth Some mysterious and mysterious words. In fact, there is not much strict scientific color in this play, and more is a pervasive atmosphere of mysticism. In short, pseudo-science fiction. For those who believe that every step forward in science reduces the ignorance of human beings, and for those of us atheists who have been educated by Marx for a long time, this mysterious and mysterious idealism is very unpleasant. The so-called science fiction should be to open a window and spy on the profound impact of science and technology on human beings, not that science is a trick or a package. This situation was not prominent in the first and second seasons of the story, and it became more and more obvious as it went on. We accept that some elusive factor drives things at key moments, but we can't let these elusive factors be the only driving force for the whole story.
2.2.2 In the play, a lot of dialogues contain an inquiry into human nature. But just like MSG, a little less is a good dish. If you put too much it will go too far. In the show, everyone is a philosopher. Speeches by various characters are more commonplace. I can't help but ask, is it tiring to talk like this?
2.2.3 Of course, there are some minor flaws in the script, such as some inconsistencies in the logic before and after, the temporary withdrawal of the actors, so that the screenwriter has to write it to death.
Finally, talk about your favorite character, non-protagonist: Father Cavill. Regarding his few appearances, there are some more detailed explanations of him in the "Plan".
