[Movie] Battlestar Galactica

Certainly interesting. Using suicide bombers is certainly a controversial move and I can see there being some massive repurcussions when things go "back to normal". I wonder when James Bamber'll take off all that fat make-up (or has he really been eating Burger King for the past 6 months?) They better not kill off Zarek. I'd quite like to see him as Roslin's Vice. I wonder if anyone'll forgive Jammer. Sure he's sold his soul, but perhaps letting Cally go'll redeem him somewhat.

Also, I'm glad that Baltar hasn't gone and completly sold out. He really doens't want to do what he's doing as shown by his reluctance to sign the death warrants. How on Earth he's gonna not get hung, drawn and quartered once this is all done and dusted I don't know.

Another thing, this is the first time I've thought that Ellen does actually love Saul. Sure she's frakking good ol' Father Ted the Cylon, but she genuinely does what she does for Saul.

Finally, I really hope that this kid of Leoben's and Starbucks comes to nothing. It's my only quibble so far and it's quite a big one. Having Hera's fine, but let's not have another one, 'k? Starbuck goes off on one enough as it is, without having to look after a Brevelle thank you very much.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thank God that Adama's gonna get rid of the 'tasche. It's ridiculous. As for Lee going back to normal weight, goooooood. That fat suit must be getting on his tits.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nah, Hera's fine, but this new sporg is gonna annoy me. I can see why the whole conflict aspect would appeal, but seriously, there's enough of that as there is. Especially when we get back to Galactica. Saul's actions on New Caprica'll have repurcussions for a long time to come.


Oh, and I liked the Pegasus theme...

Most amazing jew boots

Seriously, I hardly even noticed it first time around. Got the soundtrack and on the first way through I though "Hey, I remember that track. It was nice and happy". Turns out it was Pegasus.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

To be expected. There was no way in hell this was gonna go down well with some of the more Conservative members of the public.

I think the use of suicide bombers is 'fair' for the predicament they're in. Saul said himself that a suicide mission's a suicide mission, whether they be in planes or with bombs on their back. Seeing as how they lack planes, bombs are the only thing they've got.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Bit bloody brilliant wasn't it?.

Spoiler:

Sorry to see the Pegasus go though. Still, went out in style.

Anyways, with Pegasus now gone ( You showed them toasters girl!) then the crew's could become a fair bit interesting. I mean, Who'll be XO now seeing as how Helo was the Galactica XO, but then there's Lee and Saul (Saul'll be majorly screwed up though so I doubt he'll be doing anything for a while).
I doubt that Starbuck'll be CAG either. She hasn't flown in, what, a year? And Lee won't become CAG due to the fact he can't fit in the damned cockpit. So that means Kat'll be CAG still. Heh, seeing Kara take orders from Kat. That'd be good.

The only way I can see it playing out for a while is for Lee to become XO, Helo going back to what he was before (possibly CAG if Raptor pilots can become CAG's), Saul sat in a pub, maybe military liason to the government (the guy could do with a desk job for a while) and Starbuck'll get bumbed down to regular pilot.

Also, has anyone got a clue as to how this rumoured Cylon virus comes about? If not, I'm saying it's Baltar (I'm calling it dammit!) and he uses it to get back into the fleets good graces. He can't stay with the Cylons forever, afterall.

FELIPE NO

That GIF's so fucking sigged...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm not overly find of the new callsign. Doesn't suit her.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As a fan of character development and politics I've loved it. To me, this season has had some of the best episodes throughtout the entire run of the show. Season 3's first half was definitely better than Season 2's as well.

Right, now that it's been long enough after watching the finale that I can say stuff about it other than: "AWESOME!" I'll try and write up my thoughts about it properly:

AWESOME!

One hell of a finale. I keep bringing up quality comparisons to Babylon 5 and I'm not gonna stop here. It's the best finale I've seen to a show since 'Sleeping in Light' and like 'Sleeping in Light' it bloody well made me tear up. Seeing Galactica and the rest of the fleet heading towards the Sun gave me a lump in my throat, then Roslin's death finally made me well up properly. I don't even like Roslin, but Olmos made that scene all the more powerful. Baltar realising he'll be spending the rest of his life as a farmer got me going too.

The action in this episode was immense! It exceeded my best expectations in every way imaginable. I was watching it and thinking: "Holy Moly, Galactica's taking an absolute pounding but still not blown up. Don't make 'em like they used to." And when you think about it, they really don't. Look at Pegasus. Pretty much in tip-top condition for the battle over New Caprica, but barely lasted long at all. Compare that to Galactica in the finale, a ship which by all intents and purposes should fall apart if you sneezed on her, yet there she is taking rail gun rounds, missiles, RAMMING A BLOODY GIANT BASESHIP like she's brand new! I reckon she just flew straight through the Sun, she's that tough.

As for the actual meat and potatoes of the show, I got the answers to the questions I wanted mostly. I don't much give a damn about Hera, what I cared about was the Opera House and Head Baltar/Six. I would've liked to have known exactly what Kara was as well, but I honestly have no idea. Angel, apparition, God, who the hell knows.

The only thing I didn't like was the little montage at the end. I expected it to say "Domo arigato misuta Robotto" rather than Ronald D Moore, but there we go.

Overall, an amazing finale and now with BSG ended and The Clone Wars finished for the season, all I have to download now is Lost :'(. What am I gonna do with myself now?!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, a complete failure from the technical crew.

The Centurion CGI was definitely a bit dodgy. The shots of the space battle were incredible though.
