Mershaaay 04/27/12 10:39:00 AM #1:	Should I watch it? Just the TV series (+spinoffs, if those exist) or the movies too? What is it comparable to? -- SephirothG, channeling awesomeness from Mershiness. The Resurrection <cite>Mershaaay posted [p:1084488] in Tell me ab... [t:62658922]...</cite> <quote> Should I watch it?

VincentLauw 04/27/12 10:48:00 AM #3:	watch the mini series made a year before the first season, it's literally just the first episodes of the series so don't forget that. The first season is VERY good. The rest varies, but most of it is good stuff. -- http://i.imgur.com/xBFwK.gif <cite>VincentLauw posted [p:1084490] in Tell me ab...

VincentLauw 04/27/12 10:49:00 AM #4:	And if anything I'd call it 'The Walking Dead' in space with cyborgs instead of zombies if that makes sense throw some space battles in there and drama and you have it. It's basically standard 'new age' science fiction -- http://i.imgur.com/xBFwK.gif <cite>VincentLauw posted [p:1084491] in Tell me ab...

Icon Tang 04/27/12 10:59:00 AM #5:	it's a tense, political space opera with some wishy-washy metaphysical philosophy and an awful ending. The journey there is worth it, though I wouldn't draw comparisons to the Walking Dead - BSG gets the most out of its actors -- ICON: Caught siphoning grooves from the local disco. <cite>Icon Tang posted [p:1084492] in Tell me ab...

SovietOmega 04/27/12 11:29:00 AM #9:	*Mershaaay posted...* So is it like Star Trek but with a more character-focused approach? It is kinda like star trek if star trek were darker and edgier (in a good way). Like, star trek's universe is fairly pristine and has these high ideals of the federation. This...has a group of people fighting for survival and doing whatever it takes to do so. -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out <cite>SovietOmega posted [p:1084496] in Tell me ab...

Anagram 04/27/12 11:37:00 AM #10:	Star Trek is about exploration and optimism, even at its darkest. BSG is about survival, human connections, and humanity as a concept. Just watch the thing.

If it has action and drama I don't understand how it's like The Walking Dead OKAY let me explain it a bit more the atmosphere, especially in season one, is very similar to The Walking Dead. It's got this gloomy doomy 'danger can strike at any moment' feel. It's very well done, which you can say the same for The Walking Dead.
