Battlestar Galactica Season 2

[GDW]

err could everyone please uses spoiler tabs if your going to give any of the plot away. Some of us are still only seeing series one!

 

[Whipped]

My oppologies, it wasn't really giving any of the plot away, but I guess I ruined the surprise.

Sorry again. If there are any mods out there, feel free to spoiler tag the Applo bit

 

[inactionman]

Don't worry, it's *not* the original Apollo, just the actor that played him playing another character.

 

[Tom]

Latest episode was fantastic

 

[dysfunction]

indeed

 

[Chilly]

solvent for cleaning engine parts, HAH!

 

[Escape]

Spoiler

Stop the virus before the end of the episode!!!!! /o\

 

[Whipped]

Season Finale!!! Bastards!!! Next episode is down as being in January. I hope Tv.com is wrong.

Spoiler

Galactica's forces will kick the Pegasus' ass

 

[Tom]

Holy motherfucking shit on a giant shit-coloured stick with barbs on! What an episode! What a bitch! And a 3-4 month wait for the rest of the season!

ARGH!

 

[Deebs]

BSG is the bollox.

This was the best episode by a long shot. Hopefully Sky will start the season before the US picks up.

Happens with SG1/SGA. That's now on hold but sky should catch up and we get to carry on watching in a few weeks time, well it happened last year

Oh and Jack Bauer was fucking awesome in the Viper. (didn't mean to spoil but wanted to talk about it so much, was such a good idea doing that!)

 

[Escape]

Season 5? oO

Spoiler

I hope BSG gets to keep Pegasus(...after killing the crew)

 

[Whipped]

Jack Bauer? Viper? Did I miss something?

 

[Fana]

Just saw the season finale What a great show this is! Just keeps getting better and better - love the gritty, dark, hopeless, realistic setting. So superior to the likes of Stargate and such mediocre shows. Also helps that they have some very talented actors.

 

[Chilly]

That last episode was the fucking BOLLOCKS!!!!!! Best episode of pretty much anything i've seen for a long long time. The way it's so determined and the commander just turns to steel to pwn. ROAR!!!!

 

[SawTooTH]

I read that Sky are showing the whole series without a break at Pegasus, so we see the end before the US. Originally Pegasus was shot as a 90 minuite episode but you'l only see it in the complete form if you buy the Season 2 DVD set.

Yep it just keeps getting better and betterer

 

[Tom]

Is it in Hidef? If so I may wait until the HD DVD is out and buy those instead.

 

[SAS]

Just seen the last episode, amazing. I had my doubts at the start of season 2, but now I'm hooked

Spoiler

Got a feeling there is more to Pegasus than meets the eye. Now either they are all cylons (excellent way to access the fleet) or a good way to inject new blood into the series? Either way something does not feel right about the Pegasus crew, alone all that time and appear in excellent condiction?

 

[Whipped]

Spoiler

Don't forget, Galactica was an old Battlestar that was about to be decommisioned and the Vipers they are using are the old, old ones. The Pegasus is a newer Battlestar with newer Vipers.

Plus, the Pegasus has only had to look after themselves with no Cylons chasing them. Galactica has been guarding an entire fleet from Cylon pursuit.

 

[Yaka]

Spoiler

so how come the cylon virus didnt effect them?, even if they had attacked after the inital strike there ships should have been stuck down by the virus the same way ashouldnt it?

 

[Chilly]

Spoiler

That admiral seems a bit trigger happy, although the commander seemed to think it normal - until she decided to execute two of his crew. Maybe she is just a bit of a nutter having got the space madness, and her officers seem to be a bunch of *****. The producers definately want us to think pegasus=bad for whatever reason. I therefore think that they are good.

 

[stormrider]

Just seen an ad on Sky One for the new series - starting in January.
Wonder if there will be another break in the US and we'll catch up with them.

 

[dysfunction]

that will never happen...

 

[Chilly]

nnnnggRRGggggRR!!! when is it starting?

 

[Tom]

Jan 6th

 

[Chilly]

oh sweet!

 

[LordjOX]

Soon... soon...

 

[stormrider]

New series starts Tues 9th Jan, 9pm, Sky one

 

[Chilly]

So...

Spoiler

The start to the second half was alright I suppose and the end was about as much of a cliffhanger as the previous episode's. It is obvious it could have been better, but to the detriment of the series as a whole, which is fair enough I spose.

 

[Uriel]

Still not quite sure whether Sci-Fi is allowed to be this good tbh...

Spoiler

I thought the new episode carried on the series tradition of crashing headlong into the details, exploring cause and effect rather than just 'inventing' some techy way out of any difficult situations (Voyager I'm looking at you). Adama could have gone toe to toe with Cain but, as mentioned, both ships would have been badly damaged and undoubtedly Helo and the Chief would have been killed. The way things played out was much more realistic, tense and infinitely more watchable.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

lol - it is superb. Blends all the right elements together.

Spoiler

I'm cynically waiting to see how long the pegasus lasts. i.e. after the next episode I'm expecting it to be back to just galactica and the civilian ships. I suppose they might come up with some other misson for it, but the attack on the cylons just sounds like a way for the pegasus to go out in flames. Kamikaze attack on the rebirth ship perhaps?
