Battlestar Galactica Revival

(also think I might be a cylon)

i kind of want to start a kev k style "big hoos watches battlestar galactica and no one talks about episodes he hasn't seen yet" thread

if you do I'll hang at my season two mark for you. (nobody I know would really be into this show)

i'm watching 2 eps a day so i'd prob catch up pretty fast

well ok then

*bites tongue*

Also I will wholeheartedly rep for Caprica as a good show that is worth yr time when you are done with BSG

looking forward to you guys hating this soon

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

I loved it all the way to the final episode and then I was kinda mad

You hate everything s1ocki :)

oh sorry, wrong thread

The ending will be just as disappointing.

lol, g1.

Yeah about that

well seeing as how the Moore version's mythos is a bunch of incomprehensible nonsense, of COURSE you could make it work with anything

you're a bunch of..etc

actually I'm an angel... from the FUTURE

fine. but you're still kind of a jerk :)

thinking about rewatching this

i've been thinking about the series ending.

there are two starbucks, one alive and one dead. there are two earths, one alive and one dead. dead starbuck ends up on dead earth and alive starbuck ends up on alive earth.

no idea if they planned this but it's a nice symmetry.

alive starbuck does not end up on alive earth

what, because she vanishes?

ime experience this is not something live people are able to do

Just because she's a ghost doesn't mean she's not there. That's racist.

tbf, dead people don't walk around and fly spaceships either

hhmmmmm yes, it's almost as if her entire character arc makes no sense...

has anyone here ever played the board game? it's REALLY fun, prob the best thing that came out of this series

thats it!

I never knew there was a board game!

Just because she's a ghost doesn't mean she's not there. That's racist.

SMH at the racism against ghosts on this board.

It's sad, she was a ghost.

my decision to rewatch this for winter 2012/13 is probably the best decision i have made in the past few months

i'd totally forgotten that the mini-series came out in *2003* - i do remember where i watched it and feeling the hype. it's still so good and so brutal! the part with the kid on the garden ship without an ftl drive, just before it gets nuked! whoa. harshness.
and the fate of the human race, floating in space! and 33 minutes btwn jumps! the humanity!
anyway. it's fun to experience this show again.

Did some recent skipping around thanks to Netflix. The series ending still falls apart big time, but sure started with a bang and then some. In retrospect not showing the fall of the Colonies much at the start was a brilliant move, everything felt more isolated from the get-go.

yeah imo everything after sbux reappearance is meh but everything up to and including her absence is a+

the stretch around the end of the second season/start of the third is seriously awesome

Yeah the whole last 1.5 seasons is middling, except for the muutiny/sedition arc in the last season, which weirdly reverted to pure S1 awesomeness.

mookie and simon utterly OTM.

Re the finale, I felt most* of the character arcs were resolved satisfactorily. It's just that the actual plot really really wasn't.

*glaring exception - STARBUCK IS AN ANGEL

Yes, yes, and yes.

The finale was *not* good, but it didn't ruin the show. I still want to watch the whole thing again sometime, unlike (obviously) Lost.

The mutiny stuff was probably a series highlight.

I aslo keep forgetting the Rosyln assistant character – in my mind I keep thinking he’s Chris Addison.

I just watched the pilot last night, and now i have the first season ready to go. It'll have to be a few weeks but i'm going to nerd out so much on this pretty soon. It is pretty great! Hot-shot space marine who's the best starpilot in the galaxy? Commentary on the consequences of war from the perspective of both The President and a oblivious, doomed little girl? An army of sexy killer robots? Hell yes.

man you're in for about two seasons of really awesome shit

My favourite discovery of the past couple of weeks

just finished episode 1 and, like, this is a pretty fuckin satsfying show huh

haha

haven't read this thread yet eh

it strikes me that this show is reeeeeeally white

there's two main non-white female leads but idk if that's clear at the beginning

Richard Hatch, a veteran actor known for his portrayal of a hotshot pilot on the 1970s science-fiction television series “Battlestar Galactica” and a political leader in a reboot of the series more than two decades later, died on Tuesday. He was 71.
