Mainly only for Toe since he is the only other person I know of here that actually watches the show.
So What you think so far? Got a lot to catch up on here.
-
Toe? Here? I thought he only came out to chell his shadow.
-
Only thing that stopped me from posting one of these earlier was that he never posts. Guess we'll see if he sticks around long enough to post, or if I go back to reading the LOST thread and being....well lost.
-
BSG has been really boring this season. It seems like they are just doing filler episodes till they get to the cool shit at the end of the season. I know the writers are stuck on making this show more than just a silly scifi show but the writers need to tone it down on love sick Apollo and super average man Chief Tyrol.
-
It does seem to have gone a little down hill since the big "Cylon invasion of New Caprica." I've been getting a little peeved that they recaptured Baltar, but havn't even seemed to addressed that they have him and Caprica 6 both on boar, since. And two episodes about the Chief when he played such a big part in the two parter awhile back just seems a bit much.
Killing Starbuck seemed like a cop out to me. They talked out her big destiny and how she had been painting the nova that would lead them to earth since she was a child only to learn that the painting was a storm and that her destiny was to get blown to bits.
Still better then Lost though, at least they answer question and resolve plotline on this show. Is Baltar a cylon? NO! Will Apollo leave Dee for Starbuck? NO! Will Adama ever bend Roselyn over his desk? Maybe! And we know who 8 of the Cylons are..only 5 more to go.
-
Well this weeks episode was a little more on track and more like the BSG of old. Pretty clear Adama doesn't know how close Apollo and Starbuck really where. And seeing both Sam and Apollo dealing with Starbucks death was a good kind of closure between those two. It was nice to see them revist that Sharon and Cally don't like each other, considering that Kallie shot the first Sharon and Sharon is on the flight deck with Cally all the time I'm surprise it took this long to exploit that. And we get back to Baltar and Six and get some forward movement on that story.
But really caught me is Baltars new lawyer. I don't know what this guy is up to, but he is up to something. I doubt he is a Cylon, but he has some kind of agenda and it's not a need to get Baltar out of jail. And He's cool as hell.

*coudorkgh*
-
My ass is a Cylon.
-
Says the two nerdophiles that go on and on about Sawyer and Kate and whoever else on that island in the Lost thread. Oh what's the mist?! What's in the hatch?! LAME!
-
It's smoke, not mist. And Desmond was in the hatch. LOooo-ser.
-
Big Saggy Gut?
What's this all about, brotha?
-
Apparently, my ass is a Cylon. Did you know?
-
I did know.
I've seen it.
-
Oh sorry. My bad.
-
Well we have to blow it out the airlock or put it in the brig where it'll be roughly intergated by Edward James Olmos...so prepare to have it owned by Adama.
-
Oh sorry. My bad.
No, no. It's aaallllll gooooood.
-
Good? Wait, are you sure you saw my ass? Ha ha HO HO HO oh no.
-
Pretty sure. It had this red light that moved back and forth and when it talked it sounded like Stephen Hawking.
-
I had a horseback riding accident.
-
Did it say "By your command" cause if it did I would like to meet this ass.
-
Leave it alone. It'd rather just play chess. We'll beat that computer yet.
-
So the Queens you use won't excite me.
-
Bitch, you are a queen.
-
Man....one night in Bangkok does make the hard men humble.
-
Man....one night in Bangkok does make the hard men crumble.
I thought it made them humble. Whatever. The world's my oyster. I'll find a GOD IN EVERY GOLDEN CLOISTER!!!!``iehjgen
-
Not much between despair and ecstasy.
-

That's what I said....I don't know what you are talking about.
Course this whole joke only works if you know that song came from the Musical Chess.
-
I knew that. I don't know about the Cannuck.
-
From the ABBA guys, no less.
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight.
-
And now you both get suckers. Who wants Root Beer?
-
None for me. I have an orange soda, a Pibb, and five tropical citrus I have to polish off first. Given how often I drink soda, this could take a while.
-
Customers of A&W want root beer, undoubtedly.
-
Give them here...I'll take care of it in 20 mins.
-
Give 'em some Chubby Chicken while you're at it.
-
No, MINE! My soda, I mean. I ain't touchin' your chikkin. <_<
-
Mine or his?
-
FINE! I didn't want it anyways...well maybe the Orange soda. Was is Slice? I love me some Slice.
-
Whoever's chikkin. And it's not Slice, it's the generic grocery store imprint.
-
Bah! Then you can have it.
-
It tastes damn good, thank you very much. And it's easy on the wallet, providing valuable savings over name brand.
-
Are they paying you to say that?
-
Of course not. :mellow:
............... :mellow:
Get a job! :angry:
-
They should have. Shouldn't be giving that kinda postive endoresment without at least 7 figures to back it up.
-
So Herme's not gonna eat my Chubby Chicken?
What the fuck am I supposed to do with it then?
-
With the kinda money she is getting from the orange soda company she'd have her choice of Chickens. She can't be settling for yours....or mine for that matter.
-
What if we were to offer her both our chickens at the same time? She couldn't possibly resist.
-
I don't know if I want to run the chance of my chicken touching your chicken, and I don't want your chicken to feel left out.
-
Then perhaps our chickens should take turns. We'll flip a coin to see whose chicken goes first.
-
Alright. I call heads.
-
Or you could just go choke each other's chickens.
-
I'm appalled that you would try to turn this into some sort of perverse sexual metaphor.
Shame on you.
-
Indeed.
-
Oh, sorry then. I'll tell you what, I'll eat both chickens. Let me just start up the fryer and I'll chop 'em up and throw 'em right in.
-
Hell yeah....
Wait...Fryer?
-
Deep fryer. I won't do any prep since I plan to just peel the skin off later anyway. I can use the meat for Merla's salads. She'll like that.
-
Oh I bet she would. Ahhhhhh Yeah.
-
I'll make her specialty: Bobbit Ceasar Salad.
-
Wow. Talk about delivering.
4 of the final 5 cyclons revealed. (Maybe)
Baltar found not guilty
The Cylons have found them again, after being out of the picture for the most part since new Caprica.
And Starbuck is alive and she knows the way to earth.
Holy Shit! I might have to watch the repeat on Friday to take all of this in.
What really sucks is they left us hanging and there won't be any new episodes till 2008. It's only March! What the hell? No new BSG till after X-mas? They usually take off the summer so I wasn't surprised this was the last episode of the season, but they always come back in late summer/early fall and then go off again till the new year, but this time nothing till Jan. Gotta wait 11 months for the new. That sucks!
-
What a surprise, a major character is not dead.
-
It's how she is not dead. There is no way she could have survied what happened to her, so something big must have happened to "bring her back." And actually she is the first one to turn up not to be dead. Up till this point every majoe character that died has stayed dead. That's why I was so sure she was gone for good. Even though this is a Sci-Fi show there arn't too many quick fixes like on most of these. When you're dead, you are dead. Billy is dead...Ellen is dead...Kat is dead. Crashdown is dead. On BSG you stay dead (If you are human.)...until now that is.
Course this also might be all in Lee's head and she is still very much dead, and he has gone crazy from all the shit that's gone down. I mean Starbuck died, he lost his postion as CAG, and the with Military in general, and he found himself defending Gaius Baltar at trail which put him at odds with his father who he has never got along with. And only Lee saw her, so he could have just snapped. Wouldn't be the first time. He gave up and was just going to let himself die in early episode, but they saved him at the last moment. So he hasn't been the model of sanity.
There this is the possiblity that Starbuck is in fact a Cylon. Up till this point the only people able to come back from being dead where Cylons. She didn't show up till the Cylons where attacking. These Cylons arn't suppose to know who the final five are though, there was some kind of rift or something between them and none of them even know what they look liked. In fact D'Anna (Lucy Lawless) actually died trying to find out who they were. The only Cylon to date that died and stayed dead, but only cause the others took her offline. So I doubt if she was she came from those ships. Won't know till 2008.
I'm also not as sure that Chief, Sam, Tigh, and The presidents assistant (I can't remember her name.) are Cylons as I was last night. The song they all heard was a Jimi Hendrix tune (Watchtower to be exact.). Which could mean they wre close enough to earth to recvive radio signals, but why these four only heard it I have no clue.
One thing I'm more sure of now then I have ever been is that Roslyn is a Clyon. She had a shared dream with Sharon and Caprica six...both Cylons. The only one that had the dream that wasn't a confrimed Cylon was Rosyln. I've actually had her pegged as one from Season 1, and this just adds fuel to that fire.
-
It's how she is not dead.
Blah blah. I knew Starbuck couldn't be dead and I don't even watch that show. Lameness.
-
Well I'd tell you should give the show a chance, but I know you won't. No more then I'll watch the inane going no where plots of LOST.
-
Of course I won't, I don't have cable anymore. All I get is semi-clear ABC, fuzzy NBC, fuzzier CBS, a very clear FOX :\, three or four Spanish stations, a station that used to be FOX, some religion channel, and a semi-clear PBS. I don't even get that loser-station, the CW.
-
But CW has Veronica and Smallville!
You suck, Hermie!
-
All I ever watched on that was Top Model and Saturday morning cartoons. And Roseanne and Outer Limits reruns.
-
I don't think it's unreasonable to say that today's Saturday morning cartoons are all Godawful.
-
You'd be right about that.
-
It's truly depressing. I won't even bother listing the shit.
And why is it still Kids' WB and not Kids' CW?
Shenanigans.
-
Kids don't like name changes. That's why they still call me Nuriko.
-
Of course I won't, I don't have cable anymore. All I get is semi-clear ABC, fuzzy NBC, fuzzier CBS, a very clear FOX :\, three or four Spanish stations, a station that used to be FOX, some religion channel, and a semi-clear PBS. I don't even get that loser-station, the CW.
Well I wouldn't have counted on you doing it anyways even if you did still have cable. I'd even let you borrow my DVD copies if I thought for a moment you'd actually give it a fair shake.
-
I want to call you Nuriko, but I get the feeling you wouldn't appreciate it, so I've been avoiding it.
I could get used to calling you Hermie, to be honest.
-
I don't have time for another series anyway. If I didn't get ABC, I'd probably drop LOST. I don't follow anything anymore. Merla has Netflix, so I've started watching stuff through there. I'm on Tenjho Tenge, and let's just say I'm surprised dubs this awful are still made.
-

Call me whatever. I've been thinking of changing it to my actual name, but I'm still meh on that. I'd like to give this moniker a fair run.
-
BSG is all I follow. I don't even watch shows like Most Haunted and Ghost Hunters anymore. There was a time I'd never miss those, but now...Eh I just either don't care or don't have the time.
-
Don't remind me. I had already watched it subbed, so I was basically buying it for the dub. Dropped it after the first volume.
-
The later volumes only have three episodes a disc, too. Fucking rip. I'm pretty much watching it subbed though.
-
Also, I really despised the character designer's take on the mangaka's work. The girls especially look nothing at all like their source material counterparts.
Do you read the manga?
-
I just kinda got into it but it's on my long list. I bought one of the books by CMX not realizing what a butcher job had actually been done to it. Another rip. I kinda poked around online for scans but didn't find anything but that one site with text translations.
I find Aya kinda ugly in the anime. And why doesn't Bob get credited in the beginning? Oh those racist Japaneses.
-
Yeah, the only guy who translates it doesn't do the greatest job, but it's better than nothing.
Haha. I always wondered about that Bob thing myself. What the hell.
-
My first exposure to it was through that song so imagine my surprise to find the guy was actually a main character. That they gave him blue eyes is freaky.
