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

xp yeah, though 30/Water is way more exciting, it's still worth wathcing just to see the setup

yeah we both watched the miniseries first.
Thinking about, it works really well to have it in this format. The big 'event' that forces the journey in a chunk and then ramp it down a little for the bulk of the show. Ideally it could end in some big miniseries showdown!

what idiot let 'Crashdown' head up a mission to Kobol. Tempting fate.
--owenf

Seriously fuck crashdown

dude is way too pale to be a leader

Rewatching mini series atm: lol'ing at Six's space-hooker clothes

Dude who plays Crashdown= Vader's secret apprentice in the Force Unleashed games.

pretty sure the newer dvd/blu-ray sets and all online streaming versions actually put the miniseries in with season 1

i was under the impression they were still being sold separately, glad I'm
wrong

I was worried because there was some insane amazon deal for the whole series box set and I was pissed that it didn't say it included the miniseries, but it's the first disc in season one.

yay!

so um

if the vice president was just rescued in the midst of a cylon firefight

why do they have martial law instead of a new president

doc going hardman was kind of great

does tigh become a character you actually like at some point?

ellen is such a lady macbeth

there are too many fucking lady macbeths

i actually said "fuck yeah" to my laptop when tigh finds out the workers are striking

does tigh become a character you actually like at some point?

Yes, definitely.

We got my parents into this show, and bought them the DVDs for Christmas for a couple of years as they were being released but they have still never seen the last season. My mom says she can't deal with the show ending.

Tigh is one of my favorite characters of the show by the end!

i think it's safe to say you're going to be seeing a lot more shades of Ellen and Tigh by the end of the series

Tigh easily one of the most consistently compelling characters on the show

They really move him from semi-washed-up and sparring with Starbuck into a dude with a lot of heartache and loss (no spoiler). hoos and owen have a lot to look forward to

i just started watching this. took me awhile...but i had to get through all of friday night lights, sons of anarchy, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc... plus all those macgyver episodes with the kids....plus we just started watching xena together and we have like 121 episodes to go there...

but i am enjoying. it makes me sad in a weird way, which is what sci-fi that i like does to me.

but i better not read this thread...seeya.

Shirt for a hoos:

haha

damn yall "the farm" was dark as fuck

i had to immediately watch "earth part 1 &2" to get it outta my head

so claustrophobic and unsettling

man chief seeing caprica-boomer w/helo was heavy shit

also "and you ask 'why'?" made my eyes get huge

Home I and II, not Earth I and II.

And yes I kind of hate myself for correcting that.

that

"that error" I guess?

I hate myself
for correcting Hoos.

haha no i just meant like "yes, that, what you said, is what i meant to say"

<3

Back atcha, fella.

ANYWAY Home is an awesome episode. "And you ask why?" is great. I also think Kobol is pretty and creepy.

I'm a little confused about why nobody brings up the argument of settling on Kobol? Is it because there are cylons there? What's not to say that Cylons don't follow them all the way to earth?

I think it's because Kobol is cursed? Also they are hoping to get away from the Cylons.

that's a good point--are they looking for earth because of its mystical historic properties or just cause it's a planet with water and shit that they can live on?

also cylon 6 in sweats + a ponytail fuckin w/doc was hilars

"I'M NOT CRAZY"

Kobol's cursed. also the Cylons know where it is

that part of the plot kept making me think of this:

are they looking for earth because of its mystical historic properties or just cause it's a planet with water and shit that they can live on?

a little of both. also the promise of a planet inhabited by humans would provide the hope of a support structure etc

man "final cut" was great. lucy lawless! some characterization for gaida, even if it was kinda goofy! loved the cylon dogfight shot entirely from inside galactica. lol'd at adama's "yessssss" fist pump.

and the little twist at the end was a nice surprising touch.

good show, good well paced ep

they kept a lotta balls in the air at once

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

Dude.

Wait never mind! I misread Jeff's post and though the said favorite, and then I thought he was fucking with you.

Is Black Market the pretty much universally acknowledged nadir?

I believe so.

black market was like a DS9 episode oddly misplaced into BSG, almost goofy. no, for me the nadir of the show is that boxing one in S3.

That's incredibly insulting to DS9.
