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

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.

Is she the chick from Damages?

Yep. She's also currently a regular on Once Upon A Time.

not according to imdb

Born: Jamie St John Bamber Griffith
April 3, 1973 in Hammersmith, London, England, UK

(i only looked that up as he was also in L&O:UK and didn't have any hint of an accent)

american father, northern irish mother, spent some time in france, italy. cambridge university...

Potato, potato.

How often are there UK productions that feature Americans doing British accents? Or Australian productions with Americans acting Australian?

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

O man, normally would think above woman is banging but now I can never not see Apollo

I am almost finished with this series after watching it sporadically for the last few years. Down to the last few episodes. I won't give any SPOILERS, but I will say that for the last 10-15 episodes I have gotten increasingly irritated to the point where I'm only watching it now to see how it ends. A few twists and turns too many, it gets tiresome. Still, a fine show overall. It's just always hard to keep something going over more than a few seasons.

^ would probably have to agree. I still have this huge affection for it, though.

^
^ i feel roughly the same way. was watching the last, well, season just to see how things played out. the last few seasons had so many more misses than hits that am more ambivalent about it tho.

I do not feel that way. I thought everything was great. Maybe not the last 2 minutes or so, but the journey there was awesome.

I'm with Jeff.

they really cinched the pipes when they shut down megaupload, i'm sort of frustratedly impressed.

I'm with VegemiteGrrl and Jeff.

what? man, just hoist the mainsail and go over to the bay

right right

I think I even liked the boxing episode, though it's been a while. The very end felt like a big ol' fuck you though.

finished dl'ing

whoa those last two eps of season 2

so much cray

good politinerd refs too, lol'd @ "there he goes again" and i totally got goosebumps when Chief did the 'bodies upon the gears' speech

love that they managed to make apollo look instantly older & frumpier by giving him a crappier haircut

so like

the whole nuke thing was a long-term trap?

a way for the cylons to talk the humans into settling down & feeling safe so they could go all overseer on them?

but i thought sharon & 6 talked them into being enlightened machines, what's that about

galactica-sharon also conspicuously absent from new caprica

its gotten so i can tell how much i'm gonna enjoy an episode by the drumline spoilers

reaction shot!
reaction shot!
innocuous action!
making out!

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

I always had to skip those.

i totally got goosebumps when Chief did the 'bodies upon the gears' speech

Props to you and Shakey for making me aware of that speech in the first place on the Occupy threads. When I heard it I was like, "Hey! It's that thing!"

ooh you're up to new caprica
managed to make apollo look instantly older & frumpier

you're about to get a fun surprise on this front

^^^ oh god yes

major kudos to Jamie Bamber on that, too.

the January Jones of the last decade

new Caprica Apollo is some of the funniest shit in the show

beardo Chief! <3

nu-caprica pirate tigh is my favorite tigh

damn this is like a whole other show in season 3

the season 2 conclusion/twist is so audacious, there's only one other moment in the series (imho) that hits that same level of narrative daring

Shakey Mo playing voice of doom itt

:)

eh you know what moment I'm talkin about

Starbuck/Adama sex scene?

let's just say some teeth get brushed

j/k

Oh man, Exodus 1 and 2 are great.

Exodus 1 and 2 = awesome

I can't remember how season 3 starts, is it 8 MONTHS LATER?

I can't remember how season 3 starts, is it 8 MONTHS LATER?
--mh

It's 4 months after the Cylons showed up, so one year four months after settling on New Caprica.

Also fuuuuuu at firing squad

ok. SO. Important.

Adama's moustache is WAY better in the final ep of season 2 than the first ep of season 3.

Real talk

Trying to figure out why Chief shaved between episodes

I find it kind of hard to take Chief seriously. I think it's his face. He just looks so nice. Every time I see him I just think 'Oh Chief'
