Battlestar Galactica - Season 4

[Denim Gremlin]

I really like Battlestar Galactica but I wish it would decide if it wants to be the West Wing or if it wants to be Lost.

think they have to do one every 3 episodes contractually.

something to do with the writer's strike.

This clip has a major spoiler, but if you've already seen the first episode of this run, is pretty funny:

For whatever reason I thought this was going to be one of these.

You know what I love? I love that they have the technology to fly through space at the speed of light in an anti-gravity atmosphere, but they can only record Gaius Balthar's ravings on reel-to-reel tape. You'd think they'd have digital technology, no??

the Galactica is retro fitted with old tech to prevent Cylon's from taking it over or whatever right? and Baltar's harem is on the Galactica. 

what I want to know is why they hate corners so much.

I can answer that.

Ron was asked early in the production to cut corners on sets and props. Being the prankish imp's that they are, they went around literally cutting the corners off of everything. They made it part of their culture that Octogon's rule over squares.

Are you being serios? Either way, that's awesome.  I'm only just finishing disc 1 of season two and I have to ask you vets something.  Does it get better?  I really liked season 1, but Season 2 so far is just soooo stupid, especially the episode where the journalist does her piece on the battlestar.

I'm looking forward to finding out what else Starbuck is the best at: So far, we've got cards, flying (including cylon vessels), fighting, quoting scripture, quoting poetry, smoking cigars, cylon wrestling. I'm sure there are others, but my absolute favorite is how she gives the pro a run for his money at pyramid ball.

I haven't watched any of this season, but talk about the most uneven show in the history of TV.  It goes from Wire-quality good to eyes-tearing-up-from-embarrassment bad and back again, sometimes within the same episode.

As per Grote's assessment above, it does get better. Then it gets worse again. Back and forth. Back and forth. I think that the key is not to binge on it. And generally the beginnings and the ends of the seasons have the best stuff. I thought the first few episodes of season 3 were particularly good.

[Kim Kelly]

The current season started off as a real dog, if you ask me. And then it got really good as it approached the mid-season finale or whatever that was. And I actually liked that webisode series, even though I hate the word "webisode" and the concept in general. I didn't think it was necessary to watch, but you know what? Having watched it, and the most recent episodes, it's kind helpful to understand why Gaeta is doing what he's doing.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!












I'm super invested in Olmos' character, Admiral Adama, for whatever reason. So I kind of want to amputate Gaeta's other leg for being such a troublemaker.

i didn't watch the webisodes

how does it show his motivation?

[Kim Kelly]

A toaster betrayed him and mindfraked him.

[Sarah]

Bah, he's just thrilled to have a chance to make his own betrayal of his species seem less dastardly.

[WavyGravy]

how does it show his motivation?

There's a scene at a party where a drunken Gaaeta takes off his *Spoiler Alert* broken watch, holds it above his head and screams "You're all gonna pay for this!"

[Denim Gremlin]

I want to punch Gaeta in his slimeball throat.
