Battlestar Galactica – The Plan (Review)
October 20, 2009 (123 Responses)
THE PLANÂ is badly executed, cynical and not worth your time or money…
I’m a huge Battlestar Galactica (BSG) fan, in particular the now infamous modern take on the series. Granted it had some dodgy moments, but overall it was (and remains) a wonderfully realistic and gritty take on a old sci-fi story with great twists and deep pockets when it came to special effects. I really enjoyed the series and even though I wasn’t particularly happy with the ending, I could deal with it. After all it had killer robots, babes, space-based dogfights, religious overtones, death and destruction and a continuing sense of menace each week. Still, all good things come to an end and the show finished over a year ago.
Since then I believe there is a movie and even a mini-series in the works, mostly due to the potential commercial opportunities to rake in some cash I’d imagine rather than any real artistic need to tell another BSG story, but out of the blue I came across this entity – Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, which proported to tell the entire series again, only this time from the Cylon perspective.
Interesting? Might be worth a look, I thought.
I was wrong; dead wrong. This is quite simply some of the worst shit I’ve seen cobbled together in a long time. There is no new insight or deeper understanding of what the Cylons were up to, no real difference in the story arc or plot that took place in the main series and certainly no reason for anyone to part with hard cash to watch it.
It’s a very cynical piece of exploitation, trying to cash in on the name and fame of the series and I strongly urge you to avoid it at all costs. There is nothing new here other than to re-tell the exact same story through the eyes of the “1″ series Cylon model, who promptly spends the 2 hours organising the other Cylon models to do whatever they can to kill off humanity right up to the point of the truce that breaks out between them. And that’s it. Honestly.
At the end of two hours I was left with an intense feeling of ‘so what’?, and if you manage to watch this you too will wonder why the hell you bothered. It’s a shame really because the series itself was fantastic for the most part. I hope the upcoming mini-series and movie don’t drive a bigger set of nails into the coffin… but I guess we will just have to wait and see on that score.
This really is  a cynical piece of commercial exploitation which fails to hit the target at almost every opportunity… avoid at all costs.
You have posted an Interesting Article I enjoyed it . You really done a great job.I am looking forward for more from you. Thank you for sharing.
TRUE !
Very good review, i just watched the plan and luckly for free because its a ofense to all bsg fans out there, theres nothing new in it and come on we all know how the show ends they get to Earth, the galactica goes to the sun and thats it, its different from Stargate Sg1 or Atlantis where they left the door open for even more good stories .
I mean there a lot stuff they could use, what happened to Caprica, i mean the cylons are not there anymore and i bet there were some people left around . They could start again .
I really liked it. There’s far more to it than the above review describes. If you liked BSG, I think you’ll enjoy this. It’s largely a character piece, and the performances (especially from Dean Stockwell) are absolutely superb.
Contrary to the above review, it does reveal/explain various things throughout the series (although not the ending!) although I won’t describe what they are in case I spoil it for anyone.
Come on everybody who is a true fan does not like this thing, there are only a few details explained nothing new and lets face it since we know how bsg ends theres not much left .
And Like_it this is an opnion respect it, and google it around and you will see that the plan was a failure, of course if you are 10 years old and dont think much you can say “hey a new bsg movie” .
Im looking forward for the new stuff since bsg is one of the best scifi shows ever and as i said before theres a lot that can be done with it .
Just popped by to say hello. Guess I won’t be watching this one then.

Nice article. Great informations and new one for me. I always read your post. Thank you for sharing such a nice one. Keep on posting.
Sadly it’s always easier to make cash off of something that’s famous than to try to entertain–fans or otherwise.
Hi, first time here and fond this site interesting to visit here constantly. I fond of watch science fiction movie and listen story also. Nice and interesting post.
First of all quite interesting site this is. Now, The problem lies in its overall impact, which seems confused and clouded. The general story was neither precise nor important enough to merit the intricate nature of the flashbacks, leaving the casual viewer wondering if I’ve missed something blindingly obvious. I don’t think I have, I think it’s just that this piece is written to appeal mainly to the die-hard. And if you are a die-hard, I hope you very much enjoyed it.

Your post is interesting. I enjoyed reading it. A lot of time it happens that you watch a certain movie and then you feel like why did I watch it? Your just reminded me of that feeling.
I like the series. They are not something too special but are good to fill my free time.
As for me, I never was a fan of these films. But my five-years-old son is almost crazy about it. I never mind anyway. if the people like it why not?
Interesting art work , I love the image you used.

And our birth certificates do not just “wear outâ€; I have real copies of my grandparents birth certificates that can be read
just fine. I even have some older belonging to my great grandparents. This information doesn’t “get lost†in the system; it’s
how they keep track of you. Besides, in the 1960s there was a huge effort to copy all that paper onto files called “microficheâ€;
you can find them at any local library if you want to know what they look like
Man I wish I’d read your article about it sooner. I just watched it and it’s terrible.
Awesome review i like it i also like your web design thanks.

Omg, I just watched it…. below average product i must say. Every BSG fan should (and it will) be disapointed :S
Unfortunately my hopes vanished as Battlestar Galactica did not meet up my expectations, it is horrible, hope to see something better in the nearest future.
Valuable post for all.
Super Duper posting, whenever I come across a blog that really has some excellent unique content I always want to say thankyou, there are so many blogs nowadays that are full of copied content.
I love this article and all other posts in this blog are good.

Excellent story. Series was really so fantastic.
I agree with you it is garbage, your review was more entertaining than BG.
At least the producers won’t need debt solutions after that, must have costs zilch.
lol It was garbage, could become a cult later it was that bad, I had to learn how to fight my sniggers as I was spoiling it for my buddies I know how to make money online with it. Just redub it with ridiculous lines, sure to be a viral hit then.
Complete waste of money! I should have been writing my rocket spanish review but instead slipped off to see this. I even took my puppy potty training girlfriend. By the end of the film we were not speaking to each other!
At the time BSG was good but it looks so dated now. My piano tutorial teacher was involved in the musical score. I’m afraid they have not updated the story at all and it just does not engage you. Brad@grooms speech
Even back in the day I though BSG was garbage and this did not change my mind. It did not help that my Mum bought me a BSG hooded dressing gowns when I was 10 and made me wear it! eurodebt
this is an excellent post, very informative and fun to read….

I was disappointed by the plan also, but not as dissappointed as I expect to be by the movie planned for 2011. It is just going to be a rehash of the 70′s movie which was an awful Star Wars rip off.
This sounds like a real waste of time, but your review is very good.

Your logic astounds me, why is it so hard to believe I dislike wonderwoman as a stand alone character because I have yet to see her written well? Is it so hard to believe that I’m looking at her solely from a storytelling point of view?
I’m just looking for an explanation here. It’s generally poor form to make a judgment of someones character and then to refuse to discuss why you feel that way in a civil manner. term paper writing AND book report writing

Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
And forever has no end.
Don’t cry because it is over, smile，because it happened.
Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
I love you not because of who you are,
Because of who I am when I am with you .
