Absolutely, and WWII-newsreel nails it on the head. I just compared it to Heinlein/Verhoeven as an experiment.
I guess I feel disillusioned re: the narration because it embodies how the republic is mostly just reacting all the time, putting out fires but remaining five steps behind Palpatine.

Oh great, "The Event" bit the dust too, axed just three weeks ago. Well I hope "Game of Thrones" manages to stay alive at least until one of the eggs hatch.

I wouldn't exactly call The Event much of a loss. I think I got about 6 episodes in before I gave up from abject boredom. Seriously, no hyperbole; if asked I couldn't name a single character from that show. Didn't grip me at all.

I can understand the sentiment Rev, I only kept on in hopes that it might SOMEDAY start getting interesting (AND I just could not deal with the wife's choice of watching the FOOD Network). Jason Ritter's character and storyline was absolutely atrocius. I wonder who told him he could ACT?

I liked it better when Željko Ivanek got more scenes, and things started getting messed up in the White House. Now when they partially revealed what they meant by "The Event", and the plot turn in the last episode (won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet), I think it has a good shot for some massive development in a future season.

This is why I stopped watching anything on Syfy. They tried to tell us that they may have cancelled the shows that I loved, but I could check out all these other cool shows and love them instead. Now they're canceling those shows too.
So for all those fans who criticized Caprica and Universe but said that Eureka and Warehouse 13 were safe because they're "good" shows, I simply say, "Told you!"
I probably won't even bother checking out the next Galactica spinoff. That's how disgusted I am.

Fab, I TOTALLY missed the link I was so paralyzed by fear of that image posted above it! I am with MM, I think its time to dump Syfy completely, let the Ghostbrains keep watching the cheap infrared videos of NOTHING until some RASSLIN' comes on and further exterminates those pitifully few remaining brain cells.

It seems like WyFy is giving the show an extra episode, so they can at least wrap up the show in a nice rushed ending. How kind. This channel is the TV equivalent to the Tea Party; incompetent oafs who double down on their stupidity thinking they'll be vindicated in the long run. But at least the teabaggers have a motivation, what's Ci-Fi's aim? Attracting viewers and making money certainly isn't it.
