BSG vs SGA

Battlestar Galactica versus Stargate Atlantis.

I'll tell you straight off, They're both great shows.

Both have really good cast and SFX.
Both have a proud history and tradition, BSG was originally in the 80s and Stargate was going for 10 seasons before the spin off, which went for 4 more seasons.

Two things however, make BSG seperate from all the others.

Not America Centric, colonials have their own factions and inter rivalry. And not as corny.

In SGA, The leader of the expedition always saves the day, and survives, Shepard or Weir, Rodney always has some sort of new invention, just in time to save the day.

But in BSG, scientific inventions don't actually work out, such as the Cylons, which were originally created by man. People are flawed, and it shows. People can't handle the strain and it shows. PEOPLE DIE. and IT SHOWS.

sorry, Stargate, you're gonna have to sit this one out.
