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

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.

just watched the episode about the striking factory workers. babylon 5 did it better though - dockers were striking pay and conditions. things got violent. captain was ordered by his higher-ups to stop the strike "by any means necessary". so he paid them more and improved conditions.

next major story arch i can remember is gaius as some kind of guru. don't have fond memories of that tbh.

finished series 3. ridiculous.

seven left

let's just say some teeth get brushed

― Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier)

there really is a lot of teeth brushing wtf

hahaha, i had forgot that weird detail

Some hilarious indulgent actorly moments with adama in the last season, one of them involving crying and paint.

good moment imo. think he directed that episode but i'm cool with that kind of indulgence.

got a lot of love for 'the old man'

finished it

crying and paint

lol yes

liked it a lot. i guess the worst thing you can do in a book/film/series is make the characters do things out of character, and shit got a little out of hand in the last season, but no biggie. i didn't even mind 'all along the watchtower' except for when someone said 'i can't get no relief'. kinda hoping the actor who played baltar is still walking around with tears in his eyes tho.

the stretch leading up to and after new caprica was hardcore awesome.

where shall i turn for my 42 minutes of closeups now?

also chief got jobbed at the end

Srs

Respeck chief

just finished. have work in five hours obv.

thoughts

also head six/gaius in nyc & robot montage was dumb

this was the worst part of the entire series.

-show would've been a million times better if it were 12 eps a season. the one-off eps were mostly 100% useless wastes of time
-i'm generally ok with the second half of s4, but it still feels like it doesn't have to be there.
-putting them on anOTHER earth, also called earth, is the worst copout of all time. basically they only had two choices for a decent ending -- have them settle on primitive earth and become the earth of today, or the twilight zone route of having them find earth to see that we've blown it up -- and they went with BOTH. urhg
-there were many scenes that resulted in me saying "an angel did it"
-the only type of person in this world who would think that "all along the watchtower" is some mythical holy song that bob dylan used his magical holy brain to conjure up from the hands of god himself is the type of person who would choose to look like this

otmfm

hahaha, oh dear.

wow I did some googling and that's just how he always looks? Geez, dude!

no reason to get excited
zachlyon kindly spoke

;_; u guys are being mean to Mr Moore

feel like Ronald Moore is one of those guys with some really good ideas who needs a better collaborator(s) to properly execute them and/or rein him in

all the best ST:TNG stuff came from him imho

Moore did a series of podcasts throughout BSG that sort of worked as commentaries for each episode. I just tried to find them but it looks like SyFy pulled them? jerks. Really worth digging up if you can find them.

i try not to demand an overwhelming amount of internal consistency from my sci-fi. but it bothered me that it never occurred to anyone 'hey, remember when we injected little human/cylon girl blood into the dying president and it miraculously cured her cancer? maybe we should try that again'

(yeah the first instance was a total cop-out, but still)
