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

oh right so we're looking for earth and shit, we forgot for 10 episodes

better in part bc no matter how much praise this show receives the spaceship sets are still dorky

just noticed that the number of survivors in the titles is changing

i figured it must have been, but til now the fluctuations had been too small for me to notice

admiral bluffing is kinda getting old; we've never been given any reason to believe he would be totes ruthless, but we have plenty of opportunity to see him act like he's gonna be ruthless and then pull back. it just makes for lower stakes the next time he threatens to execute so-and-so bcz you've got no reason to think he'd actually do it.

love the fact that a hoos and owenf are living out a Portlandia sketch.

i need to watch this all in a row.

haha yeah i saw that sketch last week

really liked these last two eps of the season--i would not have pegged those 4 in a million years, and cool of them to leave one of the final five out.

still don't really get 'all along the watchtower' as the cue

totally bought the whole trial, p plausible and satisfying. baltar's "real" voice was a good moment, irish (lol) lawyer walking away without the cane was a nice touch.

wtbuck

I have been totally slack in watching this the last couple of days. going to catch up tonight and tomorrow evening. Exciting. Wish baltar was was s2 baltar though.

still don't really get 'all along the watchtower' as the cue

bites tongue

I think anyone who likes the series as a whole probably avoids talking about that in conversation

..except for maybe some ultrafan who has lyrics airbrushed on the back of a t-shirt next to portraits of the final five or whatever

I know s10cki disagrees but the Watchtower inclusion is the shark-jumping moment of the series imho

yeah i mean the way it was revealed was cool, but when you realize what it actually is you're like '............................................'

can't believe it took me all of 30 minutes to grab s4, the Bay is exceedingly fast

still don't really get 'all along the watchtower' as the cue

I've seen the whole series and still don't get the cue. I'm not one to point out shark-jumping moments in shows, but ...

that whole reveal sequence was pretty awes imo

SPOILERS

Bob Dylan is the 5th Cylon

hahah

I caught up with viewing by the time they started the whole final five reveal thing, I think. It'll be interesting to see how hoos and owen react

I mean, for the rest, obviously we know about this part

The sky ain't yellow, it's Cylon.

ahaha

totally have 1 crush on racetrack btw

just finished S3. for a couple days i was like "ugh can this thread just catch up to maelstrom so i can talk about starbuck" and then y'all are talking about revealing four cylons and i'm liek wtf.

moore or whatever (already forgotten the wiki entry) said that, um, a colonies musician also wrote all along the watchtower and they were singing that. um. i don't think he's really internalized how much of a stretch that is. when i put it together, i assumed that it meant the cylons were somehow aware of earth and its (pop) culture, which would've been a lot more interesting than "we forgot to write some dummy lyrics whoops"

would totally watch "law & order: colonial fleet" just for the apollo/romo chemistry

I will hold my comments on the use of All Along the Watchtower in the show until later, but I will say now that I really hate the version of the song that they use in the show. It's so cheesy. Bear McCreary's brother sings it and his voice and delivery reminds me of every bad open mic wannabe singer songwriter ever.

Where are you now? Have you watched The Hub yet? That's my favorite episode.

hoos, I haven't seen it, but apparently Jamie Bamber was on Law & Order UK! unfortunately no romo :/

Apollo and Helo both ended up on Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse," the former as a guest star and the latter as one of the lead characters.

man i just watched "revelations" and i feel like i could just stop there, that episode was so good and wrapped up so many loose ends

This show is so good it compels you to watch until the end even though you know in your heart you should quit while you're ahead.

man i just watched "revelations" and i feel like i could just stop there, that episode was so good and wrapped up so many loose ends

that was the "other" moment I was referring to upthread that's similar to the Cylons arrival on New Caprica. and it COULD have ended there, but they opted to fuck things up even more.

kinda wish I'd stopped watching at revelations tbh.

really wanted to see Apollo's Law & Order: London, but I never saw it come on BBC America

kinda wish I'd stopped watching at revelations tbh.

so say we all

probably would have been a perfect end point, but there's some good shit coming up imo.

"oh are you the president again? i find it hard to remember your job on any given day"

otm

yeah the role reversals get pretty tiresome, particularly with Apollo, Baltar, the Chief...

also i love how you can tell what role apollo's playing today by what outfit he's in

Some of my fav episodes are after Revelations

"the oath" & "blood on the scales" were *great*

6 episodes to go holy shit

lol @ me

lol @ funemployment

I was so goddamned pissed at Gaeta after those episodes. He did what he thought he had to, but what a waste.

There were some "webisodes" That give some backstory on the origins of Gaeta's coup, The Face of the Enemy.

really wanted to see Apollo's Law & Order: London, but I never saw it come on BBC America

it is literally like watching old original law and order - same exact stories re-used - but with britishes, council estates, barristers with wigs, etc.

so, somewhat ok.

He did what he thought he had to, but what a waste.

yeah i mean imo its p rich for baltar's chief of staff to lecture anyone about dereliction of duty, resistance mole or not

once we got past the prison ship ep zarek never did anything but annoy me, so

i really thought i knew who the last of the 5 was and kinda felt cheated when i was wrong

Who were you guessing?

roslin

actually totally forgot who the fifth was so i had to look it up

"GAIUS BALTAR?!"
