Battlestar Galactica

I think it's the fouth time you've seen it. She plugged him twice.

Hell of a cliffhanger.

ADAMA!!!!

That half-faced toaster bitch!!!

I still think the last five minutes are the best. I tried to rewatch this show before seeing the final five episodes and I couldn't do it. Good cast. I like Stoltz.

All the show seemed to care about was some teenage terrorist group. I wanted a show about robots.

They should have hired Michael Bay.

And Megan Fox.

I tell you. Seeing the last five minutes really killed it for me as it's really the only time they cover ground I wanted to see. I basically would have prefered I, ROBOT: THE SERIES. Though Asimov, not Fresh Prince.

I wanted science fiction, but with a naturalistic sensibility, and I mean that dramatically. Realistic people in a realistic society. Like the first two seasons of BSG. But somewhere they got it in to their heads that this new BSG franchise is all about God. Zzzz.

Can't say I'm interested in revisiting the whole show. Best parts I remember seem too few and far between such as Patton Oswalt. The pacing was the biggest problem for me.

I remember that a whole lot of nothing happens, then you have the last five minutes.

The show is like foreplay, and then your lover just leaves.

Maybe they were trying to plan too much. Maybe they had a lot of payoff in mind for down the road. But that doesn't really work if there is no payoff close enough to the start to keep people interested.

What we got is well produced, and well acted. But they went too far in one particular direcion.

What helped me get through most of it was the vague promise of robots becoming a civilization and rebelling. And Zoe's legs.

Christ, weren't you even paying attention? It's an important plot point.

The monotheist nutjob sorority was important to get the Cylons to find Jesus. They should have been an element in the series, not the whole show.

Agreed on Patton Oswalt. The scene where Zoe's mom takes over the interview is great.

Sexuality is a fundamental part of the human condition. You can't sidestep it without characters becoming banal in the process.

I read the first page. Not gonna read the whole thing. Is it that she's saying the fact that someone is gay should be incidental? I think that in a lot of conditions that's fine.

Season 1.0 as SyFy dubbed it worked for me, but after the hiatus it went all downhill with too much time spent on menopausal religious terrorists and double dealings and the central line of Zoe, Graystone, the Cylons, the Adamas, etc. put on the wayside for far too long and the pacing gone to shit.

In other news, just watched "Final Cut" with the girlfriend. One of the best "standalone" episodes of the show.

Lawless is always a plus.

Did not know this

Heard a rumour about it but never saw proof.

Like R2-D2 is supposed to be amongst the debris of the Starfleet task force in Star Trek XI.

Jim boy kept quiet then in nBSG.

Number Six.....

and that is all you're good for.
