That was bloody amazing. Amazing characterisation, amazing battle sequences, amazing relationships, amazing story.

When the Galactica dropped from the sky I was more impressed than any sci-fi I've ever seen before

Breathtaking.

I agree I thought it was outstanding stuff.

I was wondering what they were talking about when he said prepare for a bit of turbulence! Then it all became very clear!

Fucking top show from begninning to end. There's a bit too much religion/sprituality crap in it for my liking (I reckon any race so advanced would have ditched all that bullshit ages ago) but other than that it's probably the best series (never mind sci-fi) that I've watched so far.

Hmmm. That was a bit bold.. Better than Star Trek? ;)

Episode 4 shows why this really is the best thing on television at the moment. I wish Lee would go for a fucking jog though.

Unless Gatta(sp?) remembered his list of collaborators, there probably won't be reprecussions.

Now that Baltar's riding with the cylons, they'll probably get a larger slice of the script. The cylon revolt caused by Caprica and old.Sharon was skipped over last season, when they deserved more airtime.

Hopefully season 3 will keep an even pace and not leave everything to the end. There were parts of season 1 when Baltar was the only one holding the plot together, I'd rather not see that again.

He started using a skippingrope in ep5 and lost a stone apparently - bet we will get a Lee-centric ep soon where he goes through something traumatic and regains his faith and motivation etc, and start working out again

Oh and ep 5 was damn good also - the characters keep getting deeper and deeper, and you got to love how flawed they all are :) Makes it that much more believable.

Episode 10 - fucking awesome.

Another incredible episode - incredibly moving.

They've got the characterisation absolutely perfect, they make you care about people you know practically nothing about.

I really had absolutely no idea how this episode was going to play out, the ending was compelling. The perfect follow-up to Episode 9 IMO.

I don' think they have...they are going to the place the humans have found in the EP10...just cos there are similar names doesn't mean anything...

How very predictable of me to say that the latest episode doesn't disappoint :)

A swedish tv channel has finally bought the display rights to the series ...and when do they air it you think? Yep, at 2am in the morning... :twak: I mean, the tenth rerun of Friends or some soapoperadrama is obviously more suited for primetime than the best tv series currently being produced.

So then the memory of her mother is just a false memory? To be honest, I thought the episode was a bit lame, and I couldn't give a flying frak when she died. She'd been rubbish for ages, and it was a bit odd to have her commiting suicide like that.

I thought it was a beautifully done piece of characterisation. I loved that episode, and I hope Chilly is wrong.

IIRC the original
Starbuck was stranded on a desert planet, and left the series for good?

The only beautiful thing about that episode was the end credits. I am a massive fan and I loved ep 17 but 18 was just not very good at all.

I think Battlestar has been really shite for the last 3 episodes.

Its been dull looking at peoples issues and problems they have had in the past with nothing else much happening.

It has no excitement in it at all...

There are some pretty wild rumours flying around about the season 3 finale later this month, concerning the identity of the final 5.

And I'm only posting this to make you seethe with frustration, because now you'll go looking :)

Nobody knows, although I have my doubts. Mind you, the original series does offer some clues since they have taken ideas from it.

Dead or not, she´ll be back. Her "special destiny" can´t be just to crash into a big storm on a gas giant; that would make no fucking sense at all, and so far the writers haven´t made any really obvious plot fuckups. If it was just a Katee Sackoff money/wanted to be written out thing they wouldn´t have preshadowed the whole destiny thing over several episodes. And I don´t think she´s one of the final five either; I reckon she has something to do with the Lords of Kobol, which the writers have been alluding to since season one and the whole Arrow of Athena arc. And my God what a geek I sound :)

Indeed and a long time until we get to see what will happen :(
