Battlestar Galactica [spoilers obviously]

[Martin]

Very nice.

[Captain Russ]

Third season Starbuck is a vast improvement over earlier Starbuck.

It's kind of unfair to malign her when Six, Dee, Sharon, Xena, Apollo's Black Market Ringpiece, and Dickmagnet Ellen are all on the same show.

She never really had a chance.

[Nathan]

She can be really hot or really manly. Longer hair helps. Interviews with her make her pretty smashable.

[Captain Russ]

There is a sliding scale.

She was hot in that White Noise sequel.

Hey guys, why wasn't I watching this from the start? It's pretty awesome so far. I just finished watching the episode where Starbuck the blonde bull-dyke goes up against the Raiders by herself and gets shot down. I've seen her picture on the later-season DVD sets so she must survive. Anyway, I really like it. I'm really enjoying the dynamic between the Adamas and the President.

Also, it totally sucked that Boomer ended up being a Cylon. I already feel bad for when the awesome Chief Engineer guy inevitably finds out.

[gravedigger]

WTF double post

[Martin]

Boomer was the hotness in this. And yeah, Chief... poor guy. Man, the first 2 season are some of the best TV there is.

[Howard]

I blame your Montana. They must have been keeping you from the awesomeness that is BSG.

The next episode is one of my favorites. Not entirely sure why, but I think it rules.

[Abraham Smashington]

Fuck yeah.

That's the moment that got Lesley into the show. The mini series is kind of hard to get people into, but by the end they will either be hooked or they just have bad taste.

I never saw the miniseries on the first run. I got into it when Sci-Fi ran a season 1 marathon just before the start of season 2. Nathan had been trying to get me to watch it but I kept resisting out of ignorance. That day home from work changed my life...

[gravedigger]

So here's a question- why would the Cylons put real guts into the Raiders? Are they ceding that there is something important/perhaps better to organic beings? And if that's the case, why do they want to nuke us? Other than being gross and making for a cool episode I don't see the point.

Man, this show is good.

[Howard]

Not really addressed.

[Captain Russ]

They can't tolerate polytheists.

RE: the meatships: I can only speculate that they were the first steps toward the manufacturing of humanoid cylons. And that still doesn't even make much sense, but it is all I could come up with aside from "gimmick that ends up saving Starbuck on that desolate planet."
