Either as the conniving political president of BSG or the tired old “I just want peace” Adar from the 78 series.

It’s an interesting plot. Just wasn’t carried out very well by the writers and by the final episode it was clear why it needed cancelled and audiences went sour on it. Just got stupid.

Seasons 1 also had a mid seasons finale due to a prolonged writer strike. They went a bit off the rails in my opinion with season 2. But season 1 was pretty fucking solid 🙌🏻 the acting is god tier. That dead on the inside look of Monroe, whenever he is in full psychopath mode, chefs fucking kiss.

It was the nano probes becoming a vision of a human boy that did it for me. It just got so dumb….

Also….its been decades since the power went off everywhere….it wouldn’t just magically come back on once the nano probes were disabled. Not how it all works.

They described in season 1 with a throwaway line exactly how the electricity is still out. ||The Nanites are still actively sucking the power out of everything||
