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

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.

lol my ex-girlfriend's mom loved BSG and we got her the score albums for christmas one year

where are you up to hoos?

about to watch "flight of the phoenix" and "pegasus" which will put me halfway through the season

Pegasus is good shit

y'know, of the handful of characters they didn't revive from the original series (Casseopea, Boxy etc), the one I really wish they had revamped was Lucifer.

Oh man Pegasus is great.

The great thing about Pegasus is it's a story thread straight from the OG series, and has some similarities, but ends up going to some VERY different places.

yep

oooh Pegasus. give us the reax!

btw the only part of "final cut" that rang hollow for me was how big their camera/mic setup was

phones and shit

lol

Pegasus is badass I love it so much

Commander Kane RULES

Gaeta's bit in 'final cut' made me lol. Apparently those interview sections were improvised by the actors.

loved "phoenix," that look that adama & sharon share right before she gets taken back to the brig is heavy shit

oh shiiiiii

about to watch 'resurrection ship pt 2' holy shiiiiii

that is some damn fine television programming

kinda felt like apollo not dying was a cheap bait-and-switch

not to drop any spoilers but you may want to keep the phrase "cheap bait-and-switch" copied to your clipboard for a number of future episodes

i'm also watching this show for the first time, almost through with season 3. disappointed so far. the multi-ep arcs are usually brilliant, but the standalone eps (most of them) are mostly pointless. sometimes a pain to get through. definitely shouldn't have had 20+ ep seasons. the boxing episode was the tipping point for me.

and when i say "(most of them)" i mean most of the eps are standalone, not most of them are mostly pointless. they're all mostly pointless.

yeah the black market episode felt like CSIBSG down to the lol lighting

here comes scar

and yeah like the prostitute with the heart of gold who we'd never heard of and all the hinting at this never-before-referenced-but-suddenly-relevant-backstory-that-we'll-likely-never-hear-of-again was just oof

just don't like apollo tbh

would watch a show abt starbuck

haha the timpani spoilers on scar

starbuck spars!
starbuck makes out with a dude!
starbuck flies!
starbuck drinks!
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

"you want my ass so bad you can taste it"

uh

just realised this is all on demand and now i want to watch it

i liked that one!

i've been watching on hulu, and they've only got up to s3 for free, so i should prob get DLing

i understand that midseason eps tend to be weakest & wheelspinny in any show but "IS SHARON A THREAT" "no sharon is an asset" is getting kinda tiresome

Show is even better if you watch it knowing that the actor playing Apollo is Australian.

He and his sister are v.v. attractive and good at American accents.
