    I also never watched original BSG but I assumed the part about aliens blowing up everything and the war with robots in general was still there.

      yeah but that’s not the relevant part. the list is about pessimistic takes on the future.

      also star wars takes place a long time ago so technically that doesn’t belong either

            I don’t know what you’re getting at. It was a show about war. It was grim. It’s not a optimistic take on the future. I don’t care if it had happy ending or if technically it was set in the past.

              spoiler alert

              it’s not that it’s an optimistic take on the future, it’s that it’s not a take on the future at all.

                It is. It’s about people fighting a war in space. Saying that it happened “long time ago” in a different galaxy or in alternative reality doesn’t make it a historical drama.

                  dude i specifically said “technically does not belong” as a wink for people who know and you took it so seriously that i regret that i replied at all. i even said star wars is supposed to be a long time ago and you still kept going
