Man i'm really, really liking this show, and i normally don't like this kind of Sci fi thing.

There's some really awesome characters and situations in this show, and i only find myself detesting a couple of characters, namely the bitch president, which i'm sick of, i hate her guts, her character, the actress itself. I also sorta hate Lee, he's a self righteous prima dona, fuck him.

Great show anyway.

Cheebs · « **Reply #1 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:29:46 PM »

Great show, it kinda slows down a bit too much in season 3 but picks back up in season 4.

And yes I agree, the president is a bitch. I never liked her.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #2 on:** February 17, 2009, 08:08:04 PM »

The last few episodes have been awesome, I just hope it ends on a strong note.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #3 on:** February 17, 2009, 08:31:15 PM »

Show has definitely been rocking down the home stretch. The stuff with Cavil was awesome last week.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #4 on:** February 17, 2009, 10:19:44 PM »

Yeah, the stuff with Cavil has made me rethink a lot of my theories.

GilloD · « **Reply #5 on:** February 18, 2009, 09:39:01 AM »

The start of season 2 is awful. Season 3 has a couple of low points (I actually skipped an episode it was so bad), but picks up in the home stretch. And Season 4 has just been. Wowza. Killer performances.

Tieno · « **Reply #6 on:** February 18, 2009, 10:06:44 AM »

I also burned through the seasons very fast, loved it. Makes the slower parts not as noticeable since you can just continue with the next episode. I'm also not fond of the president and the way the actress acts...it's very annoying.

Tucah · « **Reply #7 on:** February 18, 2009, 10:24:36 AM »

I started and caught up this summer. Season 1 was great and I blazed right through that. I lost interest during season two, eventually got it back, lost interest again sometime during three. Season four, however, is fantastic, and the second half has been amazing so far and setting up what is sure to be a great end to the show.

How can anyone dislike the Pegasus and New Caprica stuff? Easily the peak of the series.

I was watching the marathon they had on Friday, made me regret not getting into the series. Its weird going through the first season, dropping it then seeing how everyones changed up to this point.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2009, 01:48:59 PM »

New Caprica, Pegasus and when Apollo/Starbuck made a run on that Cylon tillium mine are my favorite parts of the show. Its never been as good and the first part of this season showed real fatigue (like the galactica lulz), but its been real good recently.

Definitely the bleakest the show has been.

GilloD · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2009, 02:35:07 PM »

The expanded version of "Unfinished Business" is my favorite episode of television ever.

That little squeak Starbuck gives out after she yells, "I love Lee Adama!" just sold the whole fucking scene, the episode, the show, the arc. Fucking such a wonderful episode

I've never bothered to watch the extended versions of the episodes on the season sets... I should probably do that.

Start of season 3 has been awesome, but i can't believe this whole killing dudes for treason like it ain't shit.

Cmon, and that nerd looking dude that was giving info from the inside, man if that was me, i would've headbutted the motherfucker that was telling me to beg and shit, the dude who was crying about his son getting killed.

Goddamn, i got pissed in that scene, i would've lost my cool, cmon, how can you stay cool after that? Blood needed to be shed.

Season 3 was cool, i'm already on ep 10 of Season 4. Season 4 has been quite the wild ride.

Baltar continues to be my fav character, and the president will forever remain a bitch.

Friday's episode was pretty awesome. Only four hours left and I have no idea where they're going. I agree with the general consensus that they've wasted too much time to make a compelling, satisfying end game at this point.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #34 on:** March 01, 2009, 10:16:19 AM »

I was pretty pissed with Boomer. Goddamnit.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #35 on:** March 01, 2009, 10:38:41 AM »

Yeah, that scene with Helo in the locker room was totally fucked up. It's funny watching earlier episodes and thinking, "Man, this show couldn't get anymore depressing?" This season has proven me wrong. The characters at least had the hope of progressing forward to Earth. Now it's just watching them all die.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #36 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:04:40 AM »

Yeah, this is definitely the bleakest the show's ever been, and that's saying something.

I can't believe there is only 3 more episodes left, I don't want this season to end. $:-\$ For some reason the prequel series Caprica doesn't interest me at all.

Tucah · « **Reply #38 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:24:00 AM »

Yeah, I have no interest in Caprica at all. I'm pretty sad there are so few episodes left and not much of a clue of where they're heading.

I'm not quite sure if I dig that, though. The few bright moments - such as the early Cylon raids, the Adama maneuver, Cylon/Human alliance against the resurrection hub, etc. - at least made me feel good.

Caprica sounds boring.

I've accepted the fact that bright moments aren't coming. Because of this acceptance, I'm loving the show.

You know, as of right now only 3 episodes away from the finale I haven't got a fucking clue how they will end it. It feels like they have a whole seasons worth of stuff to cover still.

but all we've EVER seen of these people's lives are their bleak existence aboard Galactica. I really liked the texture of seeing how absolutely normal, how totally like ours their lives really were. And I'm glad they waited until now to do it.

That said, I have no idea how they're going to cram a series resolution into two hours next week.

BSG is having to much character-focus in these last couple of episodes, i'm liking that alot, but they should've at least given us some answers for some of the mythology, rather then saving it all up for the two-hour finale.
