Hive-inducing

I was prepared to like the Battlestar Galactica reboot based on its pilot, but it went off the rails badly after the second season: increasing denial of female agency, demonizing of science and scientists (à la "Close your eyes and trust the Force"; the "science" itself is stupid-ridiculous), increasingly reactionary stances (the military knows best), arbitrary character drama to fit plot twists. I broke in such hives of annoyance and dismay during the last two seasons that I didn't watch either the series finale or any part of Caprica.

We discussed both Galoomphica and Caprica about two years ago at my place, if you want to compare impressions: Sins of the Children
