@Shadow@Dragon8cat or even just the first two seasons of the new show (just saying)
movie was good too and miniseries, etc
but seasons 3 and 4 , i dunno
1 and 2? amazing
It definitely had some weak points and the ending was a bit meh, but I wouldn’t call it “worth skipping” at all. Especially if you’ve never seen it before.
“For the end of this science fiction show let’s throw in a very thinly veiled Christian allegory for no reason other than it’s what I want.”
Yeah, “meh” doesn’t even begin to cover how disappointingly bad the ending was. Absolutely skip it, make up your own head canon ending because you can’t possibly do worse than the actual one.
Exactly. Referring to the main star as “Kobol” which is a very obvious reference to Kolob (which is the star closest to where God resides), the 12 planets instead of the 12 tribes of Israel, being forced to flee their homes to go to a promised land, an IL-Cylon named Lucifer.
Just watch the 2004 miniseries and show.
Skip the original and caprica.
Edit: I forgot there were a few made for tv movies. Watch those too.

BSG is Mormon fanfiction
Fanfiction of fanfiction and it’s not just a slashfic?!

Just to counter-point (for OP).
I absolutely loved the ending, but I understand why many people find it wanting.
You’ll only know if the ending was “good” by watching it through and through yourself.
I thought Caprica was great. The ending was trash though.
Weird, I thought the beginning and end were gold while the middle was garbage.
The end was a montage, man. Ridiculous!
Because they couldn’t do the actual story.
I give them some credit for trying.
This is a good list. I watched it in this order and had a good time.
