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

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?!"

at one point he's got a line reading consisting entirely of "Gaius Baltar?!" that's like the greatest thing ever.

:D

this was a high quality television program

owen sorry for kinda getting off to the races there, i just picked up momentum this past weekend and had to get it done

ended the way i thought it would in most every respect

Note: Do not make the mistake of watching Caprica now, it is ridonculous.

It had potential, but never had a chance.

kinda harsh, but then i never finished Caprica either... it had some good stuff going for it, though

We finished it, but yeah. I agree that it had potential and I wish it would have gotten a couple of seasons.

I have three episodes left in the series, and it's so frustrating because it DID have potential, but they wasted so much time on nonsense, and character motivations were not just inconsistent but completely contradictory from episode to episode.

As noted above, as soon as it begins to veer from parallels with current events, and increasingly toward theological realms, it begins to fade. Still compelling, but the fire gets dimmer.

ha!
i had to look up the final five aswell.

I liked the batshit theories people were coming up with before the reveal. You know, like Adama is a cylon and Lee and his bro were actually hybrids

heard a number of batshit theories that were much better than what actually got presented on-screen.

resolution of Starbuck's storyline in particular made me want to stab, so stupid.

Can I just say I hated the hit job the show did on Callie, particularly w/r/t the provenance of her child?

Like, fucking HOTDOG? Are you kidding me?

callie was always kinda crazy, let's be real

crazy like a fox

The hot dog Callie thing was some serious retconing. Ron Moore admitted So.

i admit, when it was actually happening i was like laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
