Some hilarious indulgent actorly moments with adama in the last season, one of them involving crying and paint.

good moment imo. think he directed that episode but i'm cool with that kind of indulgence.

finished it
crying and paint
lol yes
liked it a lot. i guess the worst thing you can do in a book/film/series is make the characters do things out of character, and shit got a little out of hand in the last season, but no biggie. i didn't even mind 'all along the watchtower' except for when someone said 'i can't get no relief'. kinda hoping the actor who played baltar is still walking around with tears in his eyes tho.
the stretch leading up to and after new caprica was hardcore awesome.
where shall i turn for my 42 minutes of closeups now?

just finished. have work in five hours obv.
thoughts
also head six/gaius in nyc & robot montage was dumbthis was the worst part of the entire series.
this was the worst part of the entire series.
-show would've been a million times better if it were 12 eps a season. the one-off eps were mostly 100% useless wastes of time-i'm generally ok with the second half of s4, but it still feels like it doesn't have to be there. -putting them on anOTHER earth, also called earth, is the worst copout of all time. basically they only had two choices for a decent ending -- have them settle on primitive earth and become the earth of today, or the twilight zone route of having them find earth to see that we've blown it up -- and they went with BOTH. urhg-there were many scenes that resulted in me saying "an angel did it"-the only type of person in this world who would think that "all along the watchtower" is some mythical holy song that bob dylan used his magical holy brain to conjure up from the hands of god himself is the type of person who would choose to look like this

;_; u guys are being mean to Mr Moore
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 15:25 (11 months ago) Permalink
feel like Ronald Moore is one of those guys with some really good ideas who needs a better collaborator(s) to properly execute them and/or rein him in
all the best ST:TNG stuff came from him imho
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:16 (11 months ago) Permalink
Moore did a series of podcasts throughout BSG that sort of worked as commentaries for each episode. I just tried to find them but it looks like SyFy pulled them? jerks. Really worth digging up if you can find them.

i try not to demand an overwhelming amount of internal consistency from my sci-fi. but it bothered me that it never occurred to anyone 'hey, remember when we injected little human/cylon girl blood into the dying president and it miraculously cured her cancer? maybe we should try that again'
(yeah the first instance was a total cop-out, but still)
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:41 (11 months ago) Permalink
Those podcasts were interesting for the background info, but RDM's "Nerd Playboy" schtick with the official scotch of the podcast and cigars was really tiresome.
RDM has helped create my favorite sci-fi TV ever (TNG, DS9, BSG), but I agree that he goes to stupid places when left completely to his own devices (his cameo in the NYC epilogue of BSG, for example).
Also there are a lot of similarities between DS9 and BSG that make me feel like he's not exactly a bottomless well of cool science fiction story ideas.

I say all of this as a Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica superfan who ultimately thinks Ron Moore is a weenie.

his cameo was maybe three hundred on the list of terrible things about the NYC scene in order of terribleness
1-299 is absolutely everything about it

Yes to all of this.
I really liked Caprica, but then it didn't get a lot of episodes before it got cancelled so it didn't really have a chance to go off the rails the way BSG did.

ok first half hour of caprica is fucking nuts

also can we discuss blood and chrome and how utterly pointless it sounds, do we really need a whole series of young adama at this point

like what you're watching now are the least insane things you are going to see on Caprica
― Brony! Broni! Broné! (Phil D.), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 19:44 (11 months ago) Permalink
Caprica was better than it should have been, but apparently still not interesting enough to not get cancelled. They made some really obvious weird choices when they realized it was going to get cancelled. Montage at the end is kind of a "here's where things may have gone if we had time to develop them."

Caprica has ERIC STOLTZ so it's great
I dug Caprica but this thread is mostly me saying over and over that I'm a big dumb stan about pretty much everything so hmph :D
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 19:56 (11 months ago) Permalink
The BSG things that betray Ron Moore's aesthetics rather than his scriptwriting are the.... more questionable

I couldn't get with Caprica, Stoltz and all. the DO YOU SEE? ethnic parallels were like some sub-Negron Complex shit
