So the new season has been upon us for about three weeks, I thought it was time we had a discussion about it.


How is everyone finding the new season? Hate it? Love it? WTF DID THEY DO, WHY IS TIGHT WHITE!?!?!?!


Some spoilersss

I've been enjoying it, the first three episodes where interesting, had lots of political overtones, though this past week's episode was amazing! The Galactica doing a reentry into New Caprica's atmosphere, then launching the Vipers, that scene alone made it the greatest episode so far this season. That the killing of the most annoying character, Tigh's Wife!

What am I supposed to in here again? Oh yes something witty and oh so pretty!

It's awesome, and it continues to be awesome. Probably the best Sci-Fi show ever.

Edit: Forgot about Firefly/Serenity... hmm... nBSG is one of the best Sci-Fi shows ever. Yes.

Black and I were of the consensus that the last two episodes, which were pretty much a single two-part episode, were of season finale quality for any other show on television.

It still amazes me how a show on a basic cable budget is able to put out science fiction action sequences that shame the very franchises that defined space action. Star Trek, Star Wars, I'm looking at you, and I'm disappointed with you.

Still eagerly awaiting Dualla to be revealed as a Cylon.

Dunno, I think the sight of the Pegasus barreling in on the Base Stars, guns ablazeing was the best scene so far.

The Raptor/Viper pilots seeing re-entry flames at the end of their launch tubes was awseome.

I think i almost pissed myself when I was watching the part two of Exodus. Whne Galactica was falling like a rock through the atmosphere had me literally cheering.

I was very glad, but also really horrified by the way they kill Ellen. I honestly did not think Saul had it in him to kill his own wife

edit: The whole Starbuck/Casey was kinda twisted, IMO.

The season opener moved slowly, but that last episode was the most awesome one, probably ever. The falling Galactica was great.

Yes, Exodus Part II, really made up for the ending of last season, so many good scenes. Though how many episodes do we have to wait now until we get another action packed episode?

Best "reset" ever. It's amazing how they pulled it on the viewers without you really noticing. Lee's still a fatty though. Heads will roll if they get snubbed again for Emmys.

She definitely knew what was happening. The soliloquy and the look between them when she asked for the wine were example of that. It was done in the tradition of a Greek suicide, which fits into the show very well.

The conversation to explain the whole thing must have been awesome.

Adama:... We'll be jumping into the atmosphere a couple hundred feet above the ground. The Raptor/Viper pilots will then launch as we're dropping through the atmosphere. Ignore the flames and plasma. After they've launched, the reamaining crew do a short FTL jump back out into space... right into the middle of four basestars. We'll have no cover from the raptor/viper pilots and a good portion of our armor will probably be melted off from the jump to the planet, but we'll need to hold the basetars off for as long as possible before doing a FTL jump out of there. Of course, that's assuming our FTL drive is still operational and we haven't been blown up...

Oho! There were TWO Basestars there originally, then as the Galactica jumped back out two more came on to draedus.

I like Adama's comment "We can't hold off four Basestars".

Also when the Galactica is getting pounded in the ass, and the camera starts to roll away playing the sad music like everything is coming crashingdown, the drums pick up and there is Pegasus! YES! That was my favorite moment.

edit: me talk pretty one day

I was really sad to see the Pegasus being rammed into a basestar. Although it was awesome how it ended up taking out a second one as it broke apart.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Is it me, or does the camera seem to pan towards Tricia Helfers sweet, beautiful ass quite a few times in that episode?

That's ok, Jennifer Love Hewitt's first big movie role contained so many tight, upper body shots it should have been titled I Know What Your Chest Did Last Summer.

So it's all good.
