I’ll go first:
Breaking Bad.
I can’t do it. I’ve seen the first season! I know what you’re going to say next: oh but it gets better after the first season you HAVE to watch it.
The Walking Dead.
Can’t do it. There is so much walking dead bullshit I simply can’t watch it.
Battlestar Galactica.
I know its good. I’ve been told over and over and over again. I simply can’t!
None of these shows are going to live up to the hype I can feel it in my bones.
Andor might be in that boat but I did watch it all the way through. Probably won’t again. I liked it, but if you haven’t seen it yet I can’t imagen it lives up to the hype. Maybe a little.
The “strong start” was Adama’s retirement speech from the uh … prequel/pilot episode? I forgot how it works, cause episode 1 actually starts with the aftermath of the nukes being fired.
Regardless, it gives you the false sense that it’ll be an anti-imperialist/America-critical kind of show in the aftermath/midst of GWOT. And then the nukes fly and it’s like that speech never happened (I still think it’s a good speech tbh).
My conspiracy theory is that the shows production was captured by the NVIXM cult (a surprising amount of the actors/actressess were members, including Sharon’s actress), which was probably controlled by intelligence, and that derailed any sort of progressive message the story might have ended up having.
