@Rathenhope said in TV series gone awry:

The last few episodes of the Battlestar Galactica “re-imagining”. I’m still angry about how they squandered it all so very very quickly at the end there. It was such a lazy ending that didn’t meet up with any of the show that had happened before it.

I read an analysis where someone said that the way that the writing team came up with ideas was “put it in because it’s cool and we’ll figure it out later!” and then they got to “later” and they hadn’t figured it out.

I am still angry about this. The dude who created and wrote Babylon 5, arguably one of the best sci-fi series in the last 30 years managed to screw up a series so badly. I can’t watch BSG past season two. I couldn’t take it seriously.

I’m not sure if you think J Michael Straczynski made BSG or Ronald Moore made B5 but neither of those things are true; the person who created Babylon 5 did not work on BSG.
