Anyone else see a similarity to The Season 5 finale/Season 6 opener of Star Trek Voyager??
Its the episodes where Voyager discovers the Equinox.
^ similarities? maybe...
one of them was basically a reset button episode that played it safe and whose end result was never mentioned again - a bit like the entire series that abandoned it's own premise in it's first season. The other was a piece of superbly executed tv amongst many quality and engaging episodes of a series that not only makes for entertaining tv, but challenges and questions the viewer with it's content and continually shows many aspects of the difficulties encountered within it's story premise.
Forgot to say that the BSG ep is a re-take on a 25yr old series-BSG episode.
Voyager:
Voyager discovers the first real human contact they've had since they were taken across the galaxy, in the Equinox. They later learn that certain aspects of the Federation doctrine have been completely disregarded as the Equinox crew does anything to get back (they found a lifeform who's dead carcass could be converted into a crystal that gave them a massive speed boost). After learning the full truth, Voyager attacks. Certain members of the Voyager crew are on board the Equinox when it flees, hoping to escape court-martial.
BSG:
Galactica discovers the first real human contact they've had since their civilization is destroyed, in the Pegasus. They later learn that the Pegasus crew has become brutal in its attempts to gather intelligence and attack the Cylons. Several members of the Galactica crew/ civilian population have been transferred to the the Pegasus when, being pushed too far, Galactica attacks.
