I loved the cheesy-ass shrine they had with Baltar's photo in it.

What about the son of the dude who attacks Baltar? Was there meeting shown previously?

fairly unimportant..but I was just wondering. I couldn't remember it.
― wilter, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:02 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think the incident was shown. But iirc that guy was one of the "circle" members who were secretly throwing cylon collaborators out the airlock at the beginning of season 3 (after the exodus from New Caprica).
― latebloomer, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:06 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, they've referenced his family before. loved baltar's babecult - manson overtones mixed in w/ the jesus.
― balls, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, was Baltar's mental cylon girl ok with him shagging the cult girl?
― wilter, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe I shd rewatch some season 3.

I could swear that awesome line "You're the PRESIDENT'S WETNURSE" is some sort of an Adama callback from earlier in the series...
― Nhex, Saturday, 12 April 2008 05:37 (sixteen years ago) link
good episode i thought, they kinda saved the 'omg starbuck gonna kill the prez' cliffhanger w/ 'basically, women are crazy'. loved loved loved the cylon schism.

needs more stuff blowing up and less emo now

i dunno, i thought it was a decent ep. when has the show not been emo?

Bleh, bleh and bleh. One more episode from putting this gently on the "never recovered from the New Caprica aftermath" trashheap and walking away.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 12 April 2008 22:26 (sixteen years ago) link
ya this is pretty boring. this show just completely lost the sense of urgency that had me glued to it in the early seasons. don't think it's ever recovered from those first scenes of cylons bickering back in late season 2... worst most disappointing reveal ever
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 April 2008 00:57 (sixteen years ago) link
i mean srsly that 20 minute bagpipe apollo goodbye scene??? that's what they come back with?? anyone here shed a tear over that one?
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 April 2008 00:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Hardly. They're of the opinion that they've earned that scene; I don't think anybody really cared.
― forksclovetofu, Sunday, 13 April 2008 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link
especially not in the second episode of the season... way to stay bogged down in old shit instead of pushing fwd
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 April 2008 01:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I dunno. The bagpipe goodbye was certainly a bit much (BSG loves overlong goodbyes way too much lol), but overall I've enjoyed the two episodes so far.

I can see that. Taking the mystery away from the Cylons as villains was probably not the best idea. For those who see that as a sticking point, I can see why the show wouldn't be as compelling.
However, for me at least, the mystique factor has been taken up by the mythology behind Earth and the final five, how it all ties to the Lords of Kobol and the origins of humanity, etc. But then again, I'm a nerd, speculating about that back story stuff's my bread and butter.
But I've also always dug the soap opera and INTENSE DRAMA (TM) moments, which maybe aren't to everyone's tastes. I love Adama when he's pissed, and Roslin when she's pissed even more.
Anyway, that's just my view. I'm still enjoying it, at least.
― latebloomer, Sunday, 13 April 2008 02:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I noticed that Adama fished the ship model out of the trash.
First two episodes so far feel like set-ups for later episodes so there's a lot of foot tapping right now. Loved the ALL OUT SPACE WAR in the first 10 minutes of episode 1 (bored CGI guys sitting around waiting for strike to finish)
It hasn't helped that I just watched the entire season + movie of Firefly/Serenity in the past week w/high quotient of smart-assed violence.

(bored CGI guys sitting around waiting for strike to finish)
The FX are one thing about the show that unequivocally keep getting better and better.
I'm also with balls (heh) on the Cylon schism. Loved that part, especially the look the centurions gave each other after they shot everybody up.
― latebloomer, Sunday, 13 April 2008 02:36 (sixteen years ago) link
they should have high-fived, all would have been forgiven.
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 April 2008 03:03 (sixteen years ago) link
i dunno, the earth stuff is like... ya, earth. great. i already live here. what's the big whoop?
there is like ZERO sense that humanity is in peril and that they're scraping by by their fingernails and the cylons "have a plan" and everything is precarious and holy shit what's gonna happen.
it's starting to feel like any old vancouver-shot sci-fi show. battlestargate sg-1 is more like it.
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 April 2008 03:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Fair enough, I see what you're saying, the dramatic urgency isn't there with the cylons not busting the humans' asses all the time like the first two seasons. The show's focus has kind of shifted and I can see that it's not as interesting that way for some.
Well for me it's not Earth itself as much as how it connects to the origins of man and the Cylons, but like I said that's nerdy stuff, I can understand not caring about it.
battlestargate sg-1 is more like it.
Oohhhh that's cold. I can definitely understand thinkling it's not what it used to be but I don't think it's reached that nadir just yet.

― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 April 2008 04:03 (sixteen years ago) link
no srsly i think one of the biggest problems is the show is just re-doing stuff. like the final five cylons plot arc i could not be less hooked on. i felt like we've already been over the "omg i'm a cylon" thing with boomer like 3 seasons ago. and the omg roslin is dying thing. and the big mysterious earth thing i COULD get into but i don't feel like the show's given me any good reason beyond "well i hope they've got something neat up their sleeves." lost is so good at piquing interest in that mythology stuff and compared to that bsg just looks weak.
