How often are there UK productions that feature Americans doing British accents? Or Australian productions with Americans acting Australian?

Gillian Anderson does a lot of BBC costume dramas these days but it's not common. Probably cos the money is better in the US

O man, normally would think above woman is banging but now I can never not see Apollo

I am almost finished with this series after watching it sporadically for the last few years. Down to the last few episodes. I won't give any SPOILERS, but I will say that for the last 10-15 episodes I have gotten increasingly irritated to the point where I'm only watching it now to see how it ends. A few twists and turns too many, it gets tiresome. Still, a fine show overall. It's just always hard to keep something going over more than a few seasons.

^ would probably have to agree. I still have this huge affection for it, though.
― kinder, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 22:57 (twelve years ago) link
^^ i feel roughly the same way. was watching the last, well, season just to see how things played out. the last few seasons had so many more misses than hits that am more ambivalent about it tho.

I do not feel that way. I thought everything was great. Maybe not the last 2 minutes or so, but the journey there was awesome.

I think I even liked the boxing episode, though it's been a while. The very end felt like a big ol' fuck you though.

so like
the whole nuke thing was a long-term trap?
a way for the cylons to talk the humans into settling down & feeling safe so they could go all overseer on them?
but i thought sharon & 6 talked them into being enlightened machines, what's that about
galactica-sharon also conspicuously absent from new caprica

Props to you and Shakey for making me aware of that speech in the first place on the Occupy threads. When I heard it I was like, "Hey! It's that thing!"

the season 2 conclusion/twist is so audacious, there's only one other moment in the series (imho) that hits that same level of narrative daring

It's 4 months after the Cylons showed up, so one year four months after settling on New Caprica.
Also fuuuuuu at firing squad

Adama's moustache is WAY better in the final ep of season 2 than the first ep of season 3.
