[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Yes, we were already told about the events but I happened to like seeing them. One of my complaints about the BSG Mini/Pilot was the fact that we were told more about the destruction of the colonies than we actually saw. Television is a visual medium. Show us, don't tell us.[/QUOTE]Well the whole story is told in a "you are here" kind of way, hence the shaky cameras, zooms and whatnot. To cut to a sweeping montage of mass destruction would violate the basic concept of the show, to say nothing of being gratuitous. We saw what we needed to see, that is a news report interrupted by a blast wave, nuclear flashes seen from orbit, mushroom clouds on the horizon, refugees running for the hills...what more did you expect? Anyway, the story isn't about the attack, it's about the people who ran from it, so it's told from their perspective (with the odd exception.) Which is why you won't find a "SPEAK CENTURION!" - "BY YOUR COMMAND IMPERIOUS LEADER." scene anywhere. [/QB][/QUOTE]
