"plus baltar-as-jesus-figure makes this still a quality watch."
That is kind of true, but Baltar is by far the most entertaining character on the show and the actor that plays him is an allstar at being smarmy. I think they could about put him in any situation and that guys smirk would work. They also were playing up a religious angle with him back when they stole the whole a-bomb and the one 6 nuked the ship right before the election.

still clearing the ground, moneouvring the characters?? otherwise, what happened in this ep: cylon schism/revolt.

^^^could have been done in one episode really
― DG, Sunday, 13 April 2008 21:30 (sixteen years ago) link
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)

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!

― s1ocki, Monday, 14 April 2008 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
the only thing that didn't taste good with maple syrup were the sticks of celery.

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

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?)

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??
― dow, Saturday, 19 April 2008 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, the airlock was pretty much Cally's only option, sadly.

― blueski, Sunday, 20 April 2008 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― wilter, Tuesday, 22 April 2008 06:21 (sixteen years ago) link
best episode of the season so far. which is surprising considering there was no Baltar.

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.
