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

thanks to Tigh 'gods dammit' lives forever in my cursing phrasebook

Was kinda disappointed that the big meeting to hash out wonky political questions turned into "nominate a vice president, then incongruously party." major lol @ bangin the reporter in the bathroom. The mad scientist being vp with prez's looming expiration date is interesting but also kinda says something's gonna come along to shift the trajectory of some things--there's no way he winds up president. I think.

kinda surprised there was no #occupygalactica meme

Haha yeah when zarrack is on screen I keep finding myself thinking "occupy galactica" and kind of wanting to stick up for the guy who's obv a ~masses fooling populist~

at occupy's trending-topic height i'm sure i saw adama's face somewhere, i mean george takei was tweeting about occupying arrakis for a while there.

"So Say We All" via human mic

damn what a season finale, coup and two shots to the gut, goddamn

starbuck going into hysterics seemed weirdly out of character tho imo

brace yourself, hoostein

I keep thinking the aesthetic reminds me of the game Wing Commander 3.

lol that i watched the first season in 2 days btw

you're gonna need a 12-step when it's over, son

so owenf i am all caught up

when do you think you'll be prepared to launch s2?

Doesn't the "they have a plan" opening change as the show goes on?

it does, but not for the reasons you would hope

the last couple seasons are kinda dire

*shhhh*

anyway ur RONG

man that was FAST. I'm good to go when you are.

haha i mean its all on hulu and i'm unemployed, so

I can think of no finer employment, hoos :)

except the paying kind of course :/

ha

ok so i guess i'll watch s2e1 tonight

2+ per day? Man, I had season 1/2 DVDs from a friend, got the flu, and smashed through 6 - 8 hours for three days. Also, I had a fever.

ha that's what i did with the wire

I know more people who cruised through this en masse - Battlestar-athon - than did nearly any other show. Even when it takes a turn toward the not nearly as good as the first two seasons, it stays seriously compelling. You've got some good stuff coming up.

Ok guys I'm goin in

Holy hell @ opening

2+ per day? Man, I had season 1/2 DVDs from a friend, got the flu, and smashed through 6 - 8 hours for three days. Also, I had a fever.

did this when I had an ear infection and gobbled down codeine. it was kind of great.

yup, and sure don't forget to watch Razor, i think it was after season 2 ends?

^^^^ this

yep, I think it fits in as 2.5 iirc

Oh shit guys

Lol @ totally unbelievable young Adama/tigh

Also ew @ new "home called earth" opening overlay

I know, the reveal of 'earth' playing a part is basically crushed into indifference with that at the beginning.

Tigh's HAIR

I'm really hoping that eventually Tigh will do something fucking insanely heroic at some point. I bet he goes out in some sort of awesome self sacrifice to save Adama.

trying to work out the fx for this show too. What was on that was comparable in terms of budget and fx? Space battles look pretty awesome but I'm always a bit disappointed when I see a Cylon (robo version).

CHIEF NEEDS A RAISE

couldn't bring myself to finish this by the end

CHIEF NEEDS A RAISE
--owenf

And a promotion

Realest of talking.

chief is <3

Reading about you watching this is making me v. v. happy. I love this show so much. (ALL OF IT.)

Only a Cylon spy would love all of it.

^^^ put this guy out an airlock tbh

Only a Cylon would suggest that. Clearly, you should go out the airlock!

(Show in a nutshell^)

I am a cylon spy masquerading as a cylon spy masquerading as an airlock and I love ALL this show too (except for the last few scenes of the last ep)

Are Dee and Billy going to have that on/off dynamic for the whole of the show?

TELL HER YOU LOVER HER MAN

Haha, I just remembered that the miniseries, and I think one of the early episodes, had a version of the kid Boxey from the OG series. Moore and co. must have been like, "LOL fuck that, nobody liked that character ever and this is not a show about little kids."

http://www.oocities.org/hollywood/hills/5396/boxy1.jpg

yeah, he was on some of the deleted scenes, i think. they eventually decided to just cut him out altogether

what idiot let 'Crashdown' head up a mission to Kobol. Tempting fate.
