Doctor Who is better than BSG

first of all Photobucket is way better than Image Shack

ive seen those posters up around the place they are very paranoid, anyone looking at a CCTV camera should be reported or young mums with babys WILL be killed in a bomb blast.

but I agree, Doctor Who is better than BSG, I just never liked BSG.

Oh, you're being serious.......... :eek: :wtf:

I like Doctor Who, but there really is no comparison, Battlestar's in a completely different league.

No, really they're not. They're both vastly overrated shows that are both no where near as good as some of their fans like to think. BSG has it's poor use of religion, unlikable characters, character writing that feels like it's the equal yet opposite to TNG's, shaky cam, psuedo-plan-that-didn't-actully-exist, sex-obsessed-cylons and uniteresting stories. Doctor Who has it's rubbish logic, poor monsters, repetitive finales, plot-thin-stories, sometimes extreme silliness. Neither of them are exactly brain food either.

The only reason Doctor Who wins for me is because it's actually highly enjoyable.

Sorry guys but I disagree. I love Doctor Who and would probably kill myself if it went off the air but BSG is a better show.

Hmm ..... just re-reading what I just said and that must me that I am writing this post from beyond the grave. spooky!!!
 
Regardless of which show one thinks as superior, the first two sentences in that billboard hit the nail on the head.
 
I'll agree with Cyke101 on his point, which is why I believe Doctor Who is better than BSG. I never really liked it, the very few episodes I watched, it just felt like I was watching a cheap knock-off of Star Trek trying to be something else.
 
I have to say that I've been fairly bored of Battlestar Galactica since season 3. Don't get me wrong I loved it at the start, and enjoyed it till the end, but it did a lot of things that really bugged me, like everything always turned in to a conflict for one reason or another. It spent 6 episodes telling a story that could have been told in anywhere from 2 to 4. They made a mistake in ever upping it's run to 20 episodes per season because they just made it full of filler.
At least with Doctor Who after 4 seasons I can still say I'm enjoying just about every episode and highly anticipating each new one.
 
I'm not sure one is really that much better than the other. Despite both being science fiction they're about as opposite as you can get. My personal preference is for BSG, but not by very much - Doctor Who is simply excellent television, most of the time.
 
Doctor Who is a family adventure show. BSG is a drama series.

The two really aren't comparable.

Agreed. People who constantly try and compare wholly different genre shows...just because they might both have some connection to space...is akin to comparing 'Law & Order' to a Batman cartoon, simply because both take place on Earth.

And while everyone has the right to their negative opinions of BSG, I find it amusing that the critique leveled against the series is usually crafted from very obvious personal bias (which in any objective debate eliminates the relevance of their complaints)...:techman:

Isn't everything based on your own personal preference by nature biased?
 
My subjectivity is more subjective and betterer than your subjectivity. Fact. HA!

:D
