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

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."

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.

you gotta admit that's a pretty awful callsign to take

hotdog would trade though

Haha hotdog nepotism.

Hotdog is EJO's son IRL FYI

hey hoos/owenf

did u start with season 1 proper, or the miniseries?

if you havent seen the miniseries go back & check it out when you get a chance, it's worth it.

miniseries is the "true" beginning of the series

xp yeah, though 30/Water is way more exciting, it's still worth wathcing just to see the setup

yeah we both watched the miniseries first.
Thinking about, it works really well to have it in this format. The big 'event' that forces the journey in a chunk and then ramp it down a little for the bulk of the show. Ideally it could end in some big miniseries showdown!

Seriously fuck crashdown

dude is way too pale to be a leader

Rewatching mini series atm: lol'ing at Six's space-hooker clothes

Dude who plays Crashdown= Vader's secret apprentice in the Force Unleashed games.

pretty sure the newer dvd/blu-ray sets and all online streaming versions actually put the miniseries in with season 1

i was under the impression they were still being sold separately, glad I'm
wrong

I was worried because there was some insane amazon deal for the whole series box set and I was pissed that it didn't say it included the miniseries, but it's the first disc in season one.

yay!

so um

if the vice president was just rescued in the midst of a cylon firefight

why do they have martial law instead of a new president

doc going hardman was kind of great

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

ellen is such a lady macbeth

there are too many fucking lady macbeths

i actually said "fuck yeah" to my laptop when tigh finds out the workers are striking
