big hoos & owenf watch 'battlestar galactica' and no one talks abt eps they haven't seen yet

does tigh become a character you actually like at some point?

Yes, definitely.

We got my parents into this show, and bought them the DVDs for Christmas for a couple of years as they were being released but they have still never seen the last season. My mom says she can't deal with the show ending.

Tigh is one of my favorite characters of the show by the end!

i think it's safe to say you're going to be seeing a lot more shades of Ellen and Tigh by the end of the series

Tigh easily one of the most consistently compelling characters on the show

They really move him from semi-washed-up and sparring with Starbuck into a dude with a lot of heartache and loss (no spoiler). hoos and owen have a lot to look forward to

i just started watching this. took me awhile...but i had to get through all of friday night lights, sons of anarchy, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc... plus all those macgyver episodes with the kids....plus we just started watching xena together and we have like 121 episodes to go there...

but i am enjoying. it makes me sad in a weird way, which is what sci-fi that i like does to me.

but i better not read this thread...seeya.

haha

damn yall "the farm" was dark as fuck

i had to immediately watch "earth part 1 &2" to get it outta my head

so claustrophobic and unsettling

man chief seeing caprica-boomer w/helo was heavy shit

also "and you ask 'why'?" made my eyes get huge

Home I and II, not Earth I and II.

And yes I kind of hate myself for correcting that.

that

"that error" I guess?

I hate myself
for correcting Hoos.

haha no i just meant like "yes, that, what you said, is what i meant to say"

<3

Back atcha, fella.

ANYWAY Home is an awesome episode. "And you ask why?" is great. I also think Kobol is pretty and creepy.

I'm a little confused about why nobody brings up the argument of settling on Kobol? Is it because there are cylons there? What's not to say that Cylons don't follow them all the way to earth?

I think it's because Kobol is cursed? Also they are hoping to get away from the Cylons.

that's a good point--are they looking for earth because of its mystical historic properties or just cause it's a planet with water and shit that they can live on?

also cylon 6 in sweats + a ponytail fuckin w/doc was hilars

"I'M NOT CRAZY"

Kobol's cursed. also the Cylons know where it is

that part of the plot kept making me think of this:

are they looking for earth because of its mystical historic properties or just cause it's a planet with water and shit that they can live on?

a little of both. also the promise of a planet inhabited by humans would provide the hope of a support structure etc

man "final cut" was great. lucy lawless! some characterization for gaida, even if it was kinda goofy! loved the cylon dogfight shot entirely from inside galactica. lol'd at adama's "yessssss" fist pump.

and the little twist at the end was a nice surprising touch.

good show, good well paced ep

they kept a lotta balls in the air at once

So you're on season two? Coming up on my two least favorite episodes in the whole series, Black Market and Scar.

Dude.

Wait never mind! I misread Jeff's post and though the said favorite, and then I thought he was fucking with you.

Is Black Market the pretty much universally acknowledged nadir?

I believe so.

black market was like a DS9 episode oddly misplaced into BSG, almost goofy. no, for me the nadir of the show is that boxing one in S3.

That's incredibly insulting to DS9.

hey, i love DS9, even above TNG, but come on, there were some wack episodes on that show

it was a bad episode. even Moore said as much. leave DS9 out of this >:(

fine fine. for some reason i was thinking about those O'Brien goes undercover the galactic mob episodes. but seriously SISKO 4 EVER

also, scar is nothing compared to that boxing episode

Looking at the Moore/Braga-led Star Trek series and then seeing what they've done since... well, I think we know who was the weak link after comparing BSG to, um, Terra Nova.

Scar is not so bad. the boxing episode and the black market episode are horrible, but I'm hard pressed to say their actually "worse" than what happens at the end of the series.

they're

I kind of liked the boxing episode

I did too.

best to not talk further about eps they haven't seen yet tbf

me three

leave DS9 out of this >:(

Further evidence of your greatness.

The boxing ep is Unfinished Business, right? That ep will always hold a place in my heart because of the score. Violence and Variations is probably my favorite piece of music from BSG. It's a variation of "Passacaglia" from S1, but it's my favorite variation.

I don't mind Unfinished Business on its merits, either. I'm also not as annoyed by Scar as Jeff is, but it's not my favorite. Black Market is the one episode I'll always skip when I rewatch the series.

Yeah Black Market just...everything about it is not good, compared to the rest of the series.

Bear McCreary's music for this whole show is A+
I dunno if I've ever been THAT taken with a score before. He makes good choices.

Yes! I sometimes listen to the whole score (as in all four seasons in a row), and I also have a playlist of my favorite songs for when I don't have that kind of time.
