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

good politinerd refs too, lol'd @ "there he goes again" and i totally got goosebumps when Chief did the 'bodies upon the gears' speech
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 12 April 2012 10:50 (fourteen years ago)
love that they managed to make apollo look instantly older & frumpier by giving him a crappier haircut
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 12 April 2012 10:51 (fourteen years ago)
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

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 capricamanaged to make apollo look instantly older & frumpier

major kudos to Jamie Bamber on that, too.

damn this is like a whole other show in season 3
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 12 April 2012 23:05 (fourteen years ago)
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
― Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 12 April 2012 23:09 (fourteen years ago)

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?
― mh, Thursday, 12 April 2012 23:45 (fourteen years ago)
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
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:14 (fourteen years ago)
ok. SO. Important.
Adama's moustache is WAY better in the final ep of season 2 than the first ep of season 3.

MORE LIKE CAPTAIN BIRDS-TIGH AMIRITE
― owenf, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:19 (fourteen years ago)
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'
― owenf, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:21 (fourteen years ago)
Also lol @ "go panthers" "cbucks rule"

Oh, Tyrolpaws

Simultaneous firefights awww yeah
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:23 (fourteen years ago)
Also I wish we could have seen Chief and Cally's relationship actually happen. It kind of devalues the fact that she forgave him/said she liked him if we don't get to see the awkward build up where they adress the fact that he beat the shit out of her ('Oh Chief') rather than just going YOU KILLED MY GF - I BEAT YOU UP - I LIKE YOU - PREGNANT. Maybe we'll get some flashbacks or something.
― owenf, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:24 (fourteen years ago)
lol space sports.
I get that, their relationship is 90% unfulfilling whining on screen
― mh, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:29 (fourteen years ago)
Btw this happened a few eps back but I thought Baltar-in-Six's-Head was a nice touch.
Can anybody help me fill in the blanks on how the cylons coming to N-C was a part of Sharon/6's whole "repentant cylons" deal and why they suddenly seemed to lose all their clout as soon as they got there?
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:31 (fourteen years ago)
is apollo wearing a fat suit?
― owenf, Friday, 13 April 2012 00:46 (fourteen years ago)
yes he is
