Not a bad premiere. Drunk John McCain's on-going meltdown keeps getting better.
Apparently, Edward James Olmos is on the internets telling everyone that the final season is heartbreaking. It's not clear if he means that as in "not good" or "sad."

ejo is all up in the internets?

Not to be cranky, but I was pretty unimpressed.

it was pretty unimpressive

After Apollo brought up Zack last night, I had to wonder if maybe the Lost Adama doesn't play a significant role this season.

ok. ground cleared. next week then, for the good stuff.

I wasn't impressed when I saw it Friday night. Then I woke up the next morning and realized that it wasn't a terrible episode and that I'm pretty happy it's back on the television, especially given the paucity of decent offerings at the moment. I was mostly pissed off about the forced cliffhanger ending, but I'll get over it.
The whole Baltar is the new Manson family plot is pretty intriguing. He continues to be one of the best realized characters in film or tv (perhaps on par with Al Swearengen from Deadwood) and that alone makes it worth watching.

i liked the episode quite a lot actually, and i was a season 3 hater bigtime.
butttttt
baltar is "one of the best realized characters in film" ?!?!!!!!!
― sean gramophone, Sunday, 6 April 2008 06:02 (sixteen years ago) link
I never fail to be entertained by Baltar's facial reactions to everything.
So of course, I liked the episode. For other reasons, too.
― Nhex, Sunday, 6 April 2008 07:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Baltar is easily the best character on the show.
― latebloomer, Sunday, 6 April 2008 14:47 (sixteen years ago) link
s'alright innit
― DG, Sunday, 6 April 2008 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I like Dr Baltar. I would be more like him if I could, but I could never be that way.
I am currently watching Battlestar Galactica 1980, it's pretty terrible!
― jel --, Sunday, 6 April 2008 16:31 (sixteen years ago) link
I prefer to imagine that Baltar is played by Billy Mitchell.
― Terrible Cold, Sunday, 6 April 2008 17:46 (sixteen years ago) link
for some reason i find most baltar scenes boring (except when he's actually learning stuff) - but he's outdoing tony soprano in the 'hateful dude gets mad fine bitches' stakes
first 15 mins were great, like the chief's new gruffer tone
― blueski, Sunday, 6 April 2008 22:52 (sixteen years ago) link
he's got a lot of things on his mind to make him gruffer, that's for sure
― latebloomer, Sunday, 6 April 2008 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link
it was ok
baltar has always been the best character
― s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 03:56 (sixteen years ago) link
buttttttbaltar is "one of the best realized characters in film" ?!?!!!!!!
― Bill in Chicago, Monday, 7 April 2008 04:23 (sixteen years ago) link
he's totally the comic relief too which, uh, says a lot about how much of a lolcomedy this show is... i'm into it getting darker and darker as it all comes to an end though, bring it
haha while we were watching the first 10 minutes, a friend of mine was like, so while the writers strike was on the fx guys just fucked around with new ways to make laser explosions eh fully cheesy i guess but whatever it made me wish i had a huuge screen

does anyone think this ep's cliffhanger was anything but lame
― s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 15:24 (sixteen years ago) link
lol yeah it's not like we don't know what's going to happen.
overall i thought it was a solid episode. but really i just want to get this season started and see where they go.
― latebloomer, Monday, 7 April 2008 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link
as IF starbuck's gonna kill roslin
― s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link
srsly
― latebloomer, Monday, 7 April 2008 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
also the tigh-killing-adama fantasy seq was so cheap
― s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, definitely.
i liked how angry and suspicious roslin was though. she's getting meaner.
― latebloomer, Monday, 7 April 2008 16:14 (sixteen years ago) link
I thought it was pretty good. Characters I dislike so far this season: Stabuck's husband (too whiney); Baltar cult cru (espesh the diseased kid); Tigh (fantasy Adama killin was lame).
― wilter, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 00:47 (sixteen years ago) link
was the sick kid a thing from prev season?
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 00:54 (sixteen years ago) link
The boy's mother visited Baltar in the brig in the penultimate episode of season 3. She showed a photo of her son asked Baltar to bless him.
― latebloomer, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 00:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I loved the cheesy-ass shrine they had with Baltar's photo in it.
― latebloomer, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 00:58 (sixteen years ago) link
What about the son of the dude who attacks Baltar? Was there meeting shown previously?
― wilter, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:01 (sixteen years ago) link
their
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.
