Hey, does anyone watch Battlestar Galactica on the sci-fi channel? I don't have cable TV so I just caught it recently on DVD from the library. It's the best show ever on TV! Female presidents (Mary McDonnell!??!!) - chick fighter pilots & COs - cute boys and SO MUCH MORE :: )~ Plus they always use cool phrases such as "Oh my GODS (yes, plural) cuz ya see, ALL GODS are recognized...I could go on, but in summation, this show is too good to be true & I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming after seeing it

Well...even though it didn't start under preferred circumstances, I'd love to see the Battlestar thread pick up, because I love it. It's such a great show -- good acting, good action scenes and so smart and political.
I wasn't nuts about last week's episode; I thought the acting was good (I really like Chief Tyrol) and the discussion of worker's rights and working conditions was interesting, plus I've enjoyed the thread this year about class differences within the fleet. That being said, I had a really hard time buying that anyone would take anything Gaius Balthar says seriously. It's been proven several times on that show that he'll do anything to save his ass, and I think that's been shown to the fleet (what with his own election, his own former elite status, the fact that he was crooked and inefficient even before he sold out to the Cylons...). I don't buy Cally, who was on the death list that Balthar signed, reading his book and being inspired by it, or anyone else for that matter. It was a huge logical leap to ask us to take, and it colored the whole episode for me. I also am starting to sympathize with the Cally-haters, and it's not the actress as much as it seems her character, every damn weeks, makes the stupidest possible decisions. She's being written like Kim Bauer from 24. I do like anything involving Adama and Roslin, as I'm pretty sure they secretly got married on New Caprica, and that'll be an upcoming flashback. |
