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

starbuck for most of this season was reminding me a lot of buffy in season 7 of that show--a confident character suddenly shown in nearly-constant hysterics and then whipped back to hypercompetence at a moments notice when the plot needed it, and not always in ways that made sense for the inner life of the character

and obvs galactica jumping into the atmosphere of new caprica with vipers hauling ass out was one of the raddest moments

yessssss

best part

Yeah, that and the battle in the nebula were like the absolutely HOLY SHIT moments

watching so much of this show with headphones gave me a really nice sub-bass boom on every jump, and the one on new cap was ~huge~

tbh I rewatched that episode right after you mentioned that because the new caprica rescue was one of my favorite bits

I mean, other than the Callie rescue bits because she was already being written as a paper-thin liability at that point

Callie was one of my favorite characters!

i liked the Jack Ruby-style assassination scene

I like when shows don't feel the need to resolve all plot threads, but having weird directions like Starbuck not being a Cylon yet definitely having died being not-explained with "oooh, spooky, mysterious God?" was horrible. :(

right the obvious out would have been to have Starbuck be the 5th cylon but nooooooo

I think they thought it was way too obvious, and so instead of doing that they were just like "uhh... surprise it's not Starbuck!"

"If that's me lying there, then what am I?!?"

Leoben running away symbolizes the writers

I was also really hoping that the flashbacks the four known cylons were having on the nuked Earth were going to culminate in a flashback to the final five at a concert or being in a band playing the song.

"The song that switched us on... I played it. For a woman I loved"

Leoben running away symbolizes the writers

lol

also lol at rock concert flashback scenario

absolutely hate the retconned implication that Dylan "channeled" All Along the Watchtower from previous generations of humans thousands of years ago or wtf-ever. so terrible.

I want a painting of the final five rocking out, similar to that ridiculous one of Star Wars characters in a band

Tigh is on drums

Lee ramming Pegasus into a Cylon basestar. Fist pumping good.

Tigh is on drums

Tory on bass duh

You mean these guys oh wait

I played it… for a woman I loved.

Oh my LOL I forgot about this part. Hahahaha that's up there with THE MAIN VEIN for best worst quotes.

the eternal love song that is All Along the Watchtower:

"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
Said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessman they drink my wine,
Plowman dig my earth
None will level on the line, nobody offered his word

"No reason to get excited,"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
*buisness man there, drink my wine,
Come and take my herb.

i liked the Jack Ruby-style assassination scene

otm lol

and yeah the main vein made me lol in my bedroom at 4am

i am on episode 1.07. includes the phrase "No more Mr Nice Gaius". i laughed.

Ha! I enjoyed that line as well.

high point of the series in some ways

I finally finished that last three episodes of "Caprica" the other night. That was a bunch of bullshit re: the Adama family, that was.

yes but STOLTZ

Sometimes STOLTZ is not enough.

I'd pay money for just a show with that butler robot they had and Stoltz

SERGE

so i've watched all of season two in pretty much the last week

So you're on season two? Coming up on my two least favorite episodes in the whole series, Black Market and Scar.

so so otm

idk i kinda enjoyed black market as law & order: battlestar

terrible, but it's better than law & order: UK starring Apollo

I thought Scar was alright though.

i've watched seven episodes today

what a life

that's livin, for sure

frackin a

i had a BG half-marathon last (bank holiday) weekend and watched 13 episodes of series 2 and finished that today with an hour of deleted scenes. the last half hour of the last episode of series 2 is done at breakneck speed.

no joke yo, comparable to the end of s2/start of s3 of buffy in CAN'T NOT WATCH

what if hoos is a cylon

he does have a lot of plans

number 77

he'd look p good in a red dress

not that good

don't sell yourself short gaihoos

i will be the judge of that hoos

am on second half of series 3. quite a drop in quality over the first half but then the first half is probably the best of the entire run. and it's now single episode stories so there's less of that 'just one more episode' feeling.

They go back to story arc p. soon.
