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
― Nhex, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:12 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― mh, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 16:53 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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

Pegasus is good shit
― Disco Bob & MC Criminal (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Disco Bob & MC Criminal (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man Pegasus is great.
― owenf, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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

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 DIED, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:18 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― JIM THOMETHEUS (zachlyon), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:25 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― JIM THOMETHEUS (zachlyon), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the black market episode felt like CSIBSG down to the lol lighting
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 05:18 (twelve years ago) link
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

i've been watching on hulu, and they've only got up to s3 for free, so i should prob get DLing
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 06:08 (twelve years ago) link
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
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 06:55 (twelve years ago) link
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.

How often are there UK productions that feature Americans doing British accents? Or Australian productions with Americans acting Australian?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 13:38 (twelve years ago) link
Gillian Anderson does a lot of BBC costume dramas these days but it's not common. Probably cos the money is better in the US
