i'd kinda like to play along, but i don't think i'll be able to keep up to speed
― mookieproof, Friday, 6 April 2012 01:18 (twelve years ago) link
well part of my quick clip atm is that i'm unemployed and watching 2+ eps a day on hulu
lol
btw speaking of hulu, is anybody watching the ""hulu original program"" "battleground"? it's basically 'the office' set in a state senate campaign office. kinda fun, lightly wonky.

I think some of my favorite scenes as it goes on is with all of them getting lit up on hooch. That really brings out the angst, especially in the old fellas.
If they are all sitting around drinking, get ready, it's getting ready to throw down.

opening poker scene with Starbuck and old grizzleguts is one of my faves
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 03:21 (twelve years ago) link
oh, i have free time
i just do little worthwhile with it
― mookieproof, Friday, 6 April 2012 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
Starbuck is my fave x 10. Is she the obv all-fan fave?
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 6 April 2012 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
Carl is my fav
― Jeff, Friday, 6 April 2012 03:30 (twelve years ago) link
Doesn't the "they have a plan" opening change as the show goes on?
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 6 April 2012 03:54 (twelve years ago) link
awwwww
― mookieproof, Friday, 6 April 2012 04:03 (twelve years ago) link
Saul Tigh pretty much steals the show even if drunk and surly is pretty much M.O. He gets some of the best scenes the whole series.
― earlnash, Friday, 6 April 2012 04:25 (twelve years ago) link
thanks to Tigh 'gods dammit' lives forever in my cursing phrasebook

Was kinda disappointed that the big meeting to hash out wonky political questions turned into "nominate a vice president, then incongruously party." major lol @ bangin the reporter in the bathroom. The mad scientist being vp with prez's looming expiration date is interesting but also kinda says something's gonna come along to shift the trajectory of some things--there's no way he winds up president. I think.

Haha yeah when zarrack is on screen I keep finding myself thinking "occupy galactica" and kind of wanting to stick up for the guy who's obv a ~masses fooling populist~
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 6 April 2012 04:58 (twelve years ago) link
at occupy's trending-topic height i'm sure i saw adama's face somewhere, i mean george takei was tweeting about occupying arrakis for a while there.

I can think of no finer employment, hoos :)

except the paying kind of course :/
ha
ok so i guess i'll watch s2e1 tonight
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 7 April 2012 00:06 (twelve years ago) link
2+ per day? Man, I had season 1/2 DVDs from a friend, got the flu, and smashed through 6 - 8 hours for three days. Also, I had a fever.
― mh, Saturday, 7 April 2012 00:11 (twelve years ago) link
ha that's what i did with the wire
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 7 April 2012 00:13 (twelve years ago) link
I know more people who cruised through this en masse - Battlestar-athon - than did nearly any other show. Even when it takes a turn toward the not nearly as good as the first two seasons, it stays seriously compelling. You've got some good stuff coming up.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 7 April 2012 02:15 (twelve years ago) link
Ok guys I'm goin in
Holy hell @ opening
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 7 April 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
did this when I had an ear infection and gobbled down codeine. it was kind of great.
― original bgm, Saturday, 7 April 2012 03:02 (twelve years ago) link
yup, and sure don't forget to watch Razor, i think it was after season 2 ends?
― Nhex, Saturday, 7 April 2012 03:14 (twelve years ago) link
^^^^ this
yep, I think it fits in as 2.5 iirc
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 7 April 2012 03:17 (twelve years ago) link

Lol @ totally unbelievable young Adama/tigh
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 7 April 2012 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
Also ew @ new "home called earth" opening overlay
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 7 April 2012 03:23 (twelve years ago) link
I know, the reveal of 'earth' playing a part is basically crushed into indifference with that at the beginning.
Tigh's HAIR
― owenf, Saturday, 7 April 2012 09:02 (twelve years ago) link
I'm really hoping that eventually Tigh will do something fucking insanely heroic at some point. I bet he goes out in some sort of awesome self sacrifice to save Adama.
― owenf, Saturday, 7 April 2012 10:11 (twelve years ago) link
trying to work out the fx for this show too. What was on that was comparable in terms of budget and fx? Space battles look pretty awesome but I'm always a bit disappointed when I see a Cylon (robo version).
― owenf, Saturday, 7 April 2012 10:12 (twelve years ago) link
CHIEF NEEDS A RAISE
― owenf, Saturday, 7 April 2012 10:15 (twelve years ago) link
just finished rapture (season 3, battlesode 12).
so everyone is super religious now. fuck. one one hand it occasionally leads to interesting results. i don't mind the cylon religious stuff so much, with lucy lawless trying to see the faces of the five, and gaius on his messianic journey (i enjoy thinking about his entire storyline as taking place entirely in his narcissistic genius mind, insanely eating itself). but chief having a religious experience while searching for the eye of jupiter? barf sandwich. and even seemingly non-religious characters like lee buying into it (the whole intense firefight with the cylons is necessary because they're trying to stall while chief searches for a religious icon). it's just really, really bad, and as the show goes on it dedicates more and more time to it.
i don't ask for much. i only want three things. i want to watch adama and his crew battle/run away from cylons. i want to watch the cylons do things on their (super bright, oversaturated) ship. i want to watch the humans and cylons struggle with themselves over what it means to be having babies together. that's it. i rue the day that roslin saw the light. i hate watching chief gradually turn into the vice-president of his local Promisekeepers group. i hate learning that starbuck is a cosmic gamechanger foretold by scripture. i hate listening to lee bark out "we have to hold this position til chief finds the eye of jupiter!!!" to the people around him without him following up with "...wait am i high? wtf are we doing here"

i know i'm repeating myself. sorry.
has anyone seen Caprica?
― ♪♫_\o/_♫♪ (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 30 December 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link
Yes. It was okay, and then it got canceled.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 30 December 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link
I liked Caprica. Always mean to finish it up on Netflix, missed the last 6 or so episodes. bear in mind it's nothing like BSG, more of a soap opera using the young BSG universe as a backdrop. No space stuff, lots of junk about terrorism, robots and Strange Days.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 30 December 2014 17:06 (nine years ago) link
Hated Caprica, couldnt get into it

Hated all the dumb ethnic/tribal stuff ("Taurans drive like THIS")
