Yeah, not only that but it was also very unoriginal. Straight up lifted from two particular movies in fact.

- Retr0spectrum 10y agoThere were also references to at least one of the "source" movies. It was very deliberate.
- danso 10y agoBut it's a sideshow, the show even plays the same music as a homage. To me what makes it tolerable is that it accepts the twist as a matter of course and jumps right into other interesting plots, including whatever the fuck is going to happen tonight.
- enraged_camel 10y agoI understand it was a homage. It just didn't make sense to do it as the main twist. I mean, if you're making a movie about an island zoo of dinosaurs, it's OK to pay homage to Jurassic Park using dialogue or the composition of a specific scene. But if the main plot of your movie turns out to be about dinosaurs escaping their zoo... well, that becomes a bit too much, in my opinion.
- danso 10y agoWe'll have to see after tonight's episode, in which the episode seems likely to break in such a way that makes the first season twist look weak in comparison. I'm eager to see how the writing goes, but I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed as I was with how BSG went off the rails.
