Thanks for the good tunes. Galactica Attacks was the best of the six in that zip. I love the war drums at the end of it. Anybody here have the season 1 companion book? I picked it up not too long ago and it is definitely worth the money(like 14 bucks). It gives you a lot of cool info on the episodes, inside jokes, etc. It also gives the lyrics to the song Battlestar Operatica which goes something like this:

Woe upon your Cylon heart
There’s a toaster in your head
And it wears high heels

Number Six calls to you
The Cylon Detector beckons
Your girlfriend is a toaster

Woe upon your Cylon heart
Alas, disgrace! Alas, sadness and misery!

The toaster has a pretty dress
Red like its glowing spine
Number Six whispers
By your command

Good shit. hahahah. Can't wait until Friday.

Most amazing jew boots

Yes friday will also be kinda sad though, for we'll have to wait a long time for any new BG eps on the tv/ internet (for my part).

I actually agree with you, LeHah, more than you think I do.
As I said, I like the show a whole lot more when they aren't dealing with issues that I don't really care about as much. In fact, I'm starting to get irritated more and more that they aren't giving the viewers answers to questions. Why does Baltar see that woman in his head? Why do the Cylons want all Humans dead in the first place? Stuff like this is what I care about most, and since stuff like this isn't being answered, I am starting to miss new things Trek.

But I thought season 1 was exemplary because in the first episode they had to run the hell away for their lives, next they had to find water (which directly related to the survival aspect of the show), next Starbuck needs to train new pilots (which directly relates to the survival aspect of the show), next they are trying to find possible Cylons on the ship (reminds me of DS9's changeling plots), next Starbuck is interrogating a Cylon, next they have a fuel shortage, and finally it is government set-up time and a possible way to find Earth.

If you want to argue with me about season 1, which aspects (and which episode or scene) did you dislike? Please, no "Because of the sex robots" crap. You can both have pretty women acting in a show, with minimal sex scenes, and at the very same time some of the best plotlines ever. Season 1 succeeded in that. [I could care less about seeing this aspect in BSG, but I hated seeing it in Enterprise because that is not what the Trek universe should be about].

Finally, do you watch BSG to be entertained, or do you watch it so you can come here and complain at how bad it is (or talk to anyone at anytime at how bad it is)? (You can admit the latter if you want, it is your life and you can watch TV however you want).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thankyou!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The sample tracks are simply awesome Really can't wait to hear the whole season 2 soundtrack.

FELIPE NO

WTF, we have to wait until October to get a resolution? That bites.

Spoiler:

I like that the "I know you're not a Cylon because I haven't seen you at the meetings" comment from last week takes on a whole new meaning now.

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

Damn I hate Cliff-hanging Season finales! What are they going to do =P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Man that finale was totally frakked up! I was yelling at the tv by its end. Dammit, I don't want to wait for October! The SG-1 finale was pretty rockin' too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Let's all just pray that Adama shaves his moustache off again by October.

Spoiler:

One thing I didn't get is why they continued to re-elect Baltar if everyone hated him and he was causing worker strikes by not doing his job. They said New Caprica had been around longer than the whole time they were being chased by the Cylons, and they had already had 2 elections during that time.

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

My mother is really into the new series, mainly because she watched the old ones when she was a kid. I have watched a few episodes of the new series, and I can see how people can get into it, but Sci-Fi isn't the same for me than it used too.

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

The mustache is cool. Boogie Nights Adama is better than Old Man Adama any day.

Spoiler:

As for the election, I believe they only held the one election. In the first season, there was a selection of the vice president, and that was when Rosslyn promised to hold elections in 6 months, the first elections since the Cylon attack. In one year, there hasn't been time for another election yet.

Some of these messages need spoiler tags.

Spoiler:

I called it from the beginning. I knew that Baltar would win... I knew his decision to colonize would eventually have the Cylons find the planet and I knew the nuke would go off. Strange that the show is a year after now...

Spoiler:

I knew he win too, from the commercials. I loved it when they brought the priest into the brig and he went 'I'm not a cylon...oh, okay then,' I thought he took it well. I'm just curious how many people had escaped with the fleet.

FELIPE NO

What do you mean "what are they going to do =P" I mean it's totally obvious that they won't accept status quo.

Also, what's the hype about the last episode? It was awful, the only good thing was seeing Starbuck with long hair :dopey_love:

I agree. I really like the actor they got to play the priest.

You know what's the worst part of it all?

Spoiler:

I came home from work while it was on TV being recorded for me and I saw, as soon as I walked in: "I, Gaius Baltar, accept the office of the President..."

I was pissed beyond belief.

And DAMN did the show's finale end in unexpected territory. By the end I knew

Spoiler:

the cylons finding humanity

would happen, but the way it did...just...wow...totally threw me for a loop.

Spoiler:

I especially liked how the practically crippled battlestars Galactica and Pegasus jumped away instead of trying to fight. I figured the Adamas would have had the balls to fight. I'm sure in Season 3 they'll spend an episode prepping, then jump back and retake most of the military forces on the ground of New Caprica. Should be some thrilling TV when it airs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Finally got around to watching it.

Yeah, the ending of the finale was ridiculous, since I was pretty much uninterested with the first two-thirds of it. Gotta love the moustache.
