Battlestar Galactica Revival

^^^could have been done in one episode really

don't have high hopes for the cylon schism. every demystifying cylon squabbling scene is another stake in this show's heart.

yeah, basically once it became clear that the Cylons DON'T actually have a plan some serious tension evaporated. I am not as down on this as s1ocki cuz I am interested in the "origins of humanity" angle and the Baltar lolz but I agree that I'm a little frustrated with the foot-dragging and goodbye scenes and general water-treading.

Can we basically assume that when they get to earth they're going to find either:
A) 21st Century us
B) 2001-stylee prehistoric cavemen
C) a planet of balthars
d) a planet of Malkovich's (honestly, this would redeem the last two seasons for me; he is the ONE)

they'll find the Egyptians with their stargate

garden of eden amirite

they'll find ILX and remember why humanity left

DG is like ILX's ancient mariner, or "pariah" from crisis on infinite earths!

they'll find ILX and remember why humanity left

baltar is lolz, sure, but the jesus angle is tired as hell. and hammy comedy is not must-watch tv for dudes like me.

s1ocki - can't believe you missed cabane à sucre on sunday! i was trying to get nico to communicate to you that we were MEETING AT MY HOUSE AND THEN STUFFING OURSELVES WITH MAPLE SYRUP but clearly you were too snoozy to realise the awesomeness of both these propositions. i enjoyed bookshp and want more chances to hang out. come to listening session on thursday!

Sean are you still up in Canada?

i know i felt like a real chump for missing it! was so hungover, when nico called i was still in bed and could not move. i wish i'd gone :(

the only thing that didn't taste good with maple syrup were the sticks of celery.

john - hi! yes i moved to scotland 2004-2007 but i am back in montreal now.

hi sean! i am also in mtl
and i also went to a cabane a sucre! but not this wkend, a couple wkends ago. and i put maple syrup on EVERYTHING aw yeah

Mark Verheiden's comic work suggested to me that he was a bad writer; his BG work confirmed it.

lol emo cylon

Again, I've heard how much better BSG is than other sci-fi series, with the real tension and urgency of war. But it still looks like a video game to me. Hardly Saving Private Ryan, is it? So far, so unmoved, then.

GUH...it's set in space you clown so of course it will look like a video game (and why is that a problem these days?)

Wow, too many threads on the front page... time to bump another one!

Thumbs up for evil Cylon awakening! Who else felt like Cally really had it coming since the beginning?

man tory was COLD

Plan, schman. is the Stockwell not right, resurrecting the D'anna line and her/their messianic obsessions would be re-opening a whole can of Wormz, and that unlobotomized Raiders will be "more than you bargained for"? (Not that the faction Six speaks for will get a chance to see for themselves, if Stockwell wipes them out and their resurrection ship too.) And does Cally's death at that moment not almost seem like a mercy killing--I mean, look at her! Are we not seeing, more and more,thourgh Cylon eyes? Who is the Admiral sitting with at the very end??

Yeah, the airlock was pretty much Cally's only option, sadly.

is the Stockwell not right, resurrecting the D'anna line and her/their messianic obsessions would be re-opening a whole can of Worm

i think he was lying

oh wait nm

should have read closer

Anyone else see a familar constellation in the background of that Cylon basestar battle?

wow i had to check that screen! is realz

28:26 into the ep

shame cally had to die after only just getting her best ever hairdo

that's Orion in the screengrab right?

Exactly - Orion's belt being the three stars that Starbuck sees near Earth.

So the Cylons are nearer to Earth than the fleet, I guess.

i was happy to see one of the nu-cylons actually doing something, it seems like all they've been up to is having stressed-out meetings

i like that now they're becoming more human. they've bitten the fruit from the tree.

I thought the episode was great. A fair bit happened at least. there will be hell of more stressed-out nu-clyon meetings in the next ep.

best episode of the season so far. which is surprising considering there was no Baltar.

what a great plan these cylons clearly do have

Baltar just weighs down episodes that aren't about him half the time.

i don't get why Helo and Gaeta are off on Starbuck's mission - thought they were key personnel. it's as if the writers have got nothing for them to do for a while.

i don't get why they're jumping around in that ship so often if jumping around is exactly what starbuck doesn't want to do. and i don't get why the temporary appropriation of a garbage scow is a hot-button political issue.

39,000 people left - how come still so many reporters?

i know, i was just thinking about that!

anything to get out of military service

Maybe they're all just bloggers.
