Just finished watching this amazing show, Battlestar Galactica...

Maybe it's because I watched it today in 2019 that none of that shit bothered me. I'd have also been too young to have fully appreciated the show and / or episode.

>The show quickly sucked that hope out of me
Tbf the real world did as well

So a question popped into my head, I have many but too many, the two at the end; were they angels? I mean the epilogue. I've only begun to do some reading on the show now that it's finished.

I need to re-watch it, but I didn't mind it back in the day.

yes but they left God and specific religion ambiguous "you know he doesn't like that name"

Yeah I really liked that ending; it was intriguing.

I felt it was sort of cheap that the explanation of several points like the visions of Caprica Six and Baltar, and especially the fact that Starbuck came back on a pristine ship is just God is real and made it happen.
but otherwise a solid show.

Weird one but that's oddly why I enjoyed it. I watched sci-fi to be entertained and thought provocation, left with dogmatic narrative

I still haven't seen the finale.
I have a weird habit of not seeing the finale to shows I like.

it's kind of amazing how horrid Caprica is honestly

Great show but I don't give a fuck what anyone says, that shit with the final five dragged on for way too long for what it was and the final season kind of sucked.

Cool ending though, it was the past the whole time

If I may say, I really enjoyed it; I thought it was quite satisfying.

The place or the person? lol

the prequel series Caprica

They're probably talking about the spinoff

It was the past the whole time?

I haven't seen that; I was also not going to watch it because it looks terrible.

it's really not good, loads of questionable CGI backdrops too, cringey dialogue and plots, etc.
also retcons stuff from BSG

I rewatched this recently and was surprised at how well it holds up. When it first aired the ending was disappointing but for some reason on the rewatch the ending is not bad at all. “No more mr nice” Gaius Baltar is one of the most interesting characters in sci-fi.

Excellent. I fucking hate retcons; well poorly done ones anyway.

What did you mean about the past the whole time thing?

It's not really worth watching. It finally starts to feel like a BSG prequel at the end of the last episode. Only to get cancelled.

Since finishing BSG, I'm going to move on to a show called "Good Omens" that's been recommended to me. I don't think it's all that long so it's not going to take up most of my time.

The next big thing on my list of things to watch is between Enterprise, Firefly, Babylon 5, and Stargate SG1 or Atlantis. Which should I watched after Good Omens?

Disney and the rest of Hollywood need to watch this show and take note of how to make ‘strong’ female characters who aren’t dislikable Mary Sues. Some people didn’t like Starbuck but at least she had flaws and character development and was believable as a competent fighter.

I adored Starbuck. She was cute, pretty, strong, smart, a whore, and a complete cunt. It's hard to find such a diverse female lead nowadays.

Don't watch Enterprise, anons only recommend it because of the vulcan waifu and bakula. Firefly and Babylon 5 are a good go-to. SG1 and Atlantis are an entirely different flavour like a current-era Star Trek.

Firefly is on a different level than the others. The first episode isn’t great but after that it’s comfy.

She's an interesting character. Someone I like and get infuriated by at the same time. She can be very punchable. Though, to be fair, that goes for most BSG characters really.

Like a current-era Star Trek? That's worrying. You mean like Discovery? I've yet to watch it but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to after all of the negative reviews.

Be sure to watch the movie before the show as well. Same as how you'd have to watch the miniseries before BSG.

Attached: maxresdefault (24).jpg (1280x720, 155K)

I’m surprised more shows don’t go for this grey character style. BSG and GoT showed that there’s a huge market for it. Maybe it’s harder to find writers who can pull it off correctly. Dumb & Dumber certainly couldn’t once they ran out of book material.

The show was good all the way up to the New Caprica arc. The show jumped the shark there, frankly it should by all rights have been the Galactica that was destroyed, especially since they had a choice on which one to sacrifice and the Pegasus was objectively better to Galactica in every way, so her sacrifice was a complete waste that was only done because it happened in the original series (where this problem didn't exist because both ships where the same models in that version). The show lost its direction after that and everything we learn about Earth from that point onward directly contradicts what we learn in the first two seasons, since post New Cap Earth was a Cylon colony that wasn't anywhere near our Earth while pre New Cap Earth was ours to the point of showing constellations that can only be seen from here as a point of reference that a multip episode arc revolved around. Ron should have done what JMS did with B5 and write down the general idea for the whole show right from the start instead of just doing half.

I also think they should have had at least half a season at the end dedicated to them having found Earth and reintegrating into wider human society, maybe have Kobol be the equivalent of Luddites who went off millennium ago and just reunited after disaster, but that's just me.

All of the events of the show take place way before humans ever existed. Final episodes or episode, can't remember, they reach our planet (earth), send the ships with all tech to burn into the sun and somehow breed with proto-humans to create the human race. So humans would be a mix between main characters of the show + robots + monkeys, or maybe the proto-humans were the neanderthals and were eventually all killed.

I got you. It was a little ambiguous as to what you were referring to specifically.

This is good advice; so SG1 movie before SG1... Got it.

my fault, I realize I could have done better to explain what I meant from the start.

could of*

I feel like it was more of a trend in the 2000's. Thew whole Sopranos thing seemed to inspire it. And shows like The Wire did it, and Breaking Bad.

But yeah, I think it's a bit harder for them to pull off competently. And, to be fair, BSG didn't always pull shit off competently either. But it did have quite a bit of characters I liked, even if they were flawed as fuck. Admiral Cain was a hardassed, but I liked her. Kendra Shaw from the Razor movie was a lot like Starbuck, just more introverted and less slutty. Saul Tigh became one of my favorites. And both Roslin and Adama are my favorites, even though they both some times do shitty things.

>could of*
wut

the fuck

sorry if the correction wasn't welcome

It was 150,000 years ago so it was already modern humans just without having founded civilisation (though in fairness at the time this was thought to be the time period modern man had emerged, where we have since discovered it was significantly earlier then that). Implication was that Kobol humans, Cylons mixed with Terran humans and that's what created us.

Which makes no sense given the roadmap in the first two seasons points to (new) Earth and the fact the song that triggered the final five in season 3 wouldn't be made for another 150,000 years.

>I also think they should have had at least half a season at the end dedicated to them having found Earth and reintegrating into wider human society,
This is exactly what I was hoping for as well. They could have explored so
many interesting science fiction angles, maybe even launch a new franchise around it. I wonder how much of them not doing this was because of budget constraints. Thematically it seemed like where the story was headed.

could ave' my bad

Movie was made as a standalone project, SG1 was a spinoff that was probably one of the most successful tv spinoffs of a movie of all time after MASH. Same characters mostly but none of the actors reprise their roles, and a totally different tone, but worth a watch.

No "could have" is correct

(you)

You wot mate.

The losing battle at the Cylon base was fantastic.
Everything that made it possible was, indeed, pure unadulterated shit. It makes no sense and ruins any case for progress throughout the series.
Oh, so they are still in range of this place behind the 'red line' after 3 years of FTL jumps? Oh yeah a computer made it possible.
Ass. Absolute ass.

>The Wire
wasn't a hit
>Breaking Bad
that's because the retarded fanbase unironically championed walt and excused his glaring flaws

(i'm not disagreeing with your general post btw, just nitpicking)

Yeah I was thinking from the start that Earth humans had probably gone post-biological and had formed a society where the line between man and machine was blurred, would have explained why the Colonials had left in the first place, why the Earth tribe had decided to return home, and would make for an interesting series of problems for the technophobic characters.

whatsherface finding the coordinates to "earth" through piano notes or whatever made me roll my eyes through the back of my head

someone actually thought that was good writing

>grey character style
What do you mean by this bud?

The miniseries, season one, and the first half of season two were the best to me. The second half of season two, after the Pegasus arc got really episodic, and dropped in quality. It picked back up for the season two finale though.

I liked the New Caprica storyline, but after they get back onto the Glaactica, it goes downhill for me. Plus season three wastes too damn much time on Starbuck and Apollo's affair.
The Wire wasn't a hit at the time, but it's a show that has become more popular as time has gone on.

It's still like this that I had trouble with too, without fully understanding the story fully in my head, I'll admit. I only watched the finale today and might have to revisit certain things. That or old age becomes me.

Literal deus ex, supposed to emulate classic Greek tragedies or something like that. Problem is we don't make stories like that anymore for good reason. 2 thousand years of Christendom changed how we view holy stories, and so we look at Greek tragedies through the same lens as any other work of fiction.

The absolute madman.

OP again, is it worth watching Razor even after watching BSG? I also watched the miniseries before the show too.

Don't forget Frasier! One of my favourite shows.

Attached: file.png (1240x775, 1.6M)

Yeah. Honestly, Razor should probably be watched before season four, but it's no big deal. It kinda jumps back and forth between flashbacks and the current time a lot, but overall, I still like it.

The Plan was pretty crap though. I'd say watch it if you're a completionist, because it's not very good.

Again, it might just be the fact that I finished BSG tonight but in the year of our lord 2019, it wasn't something I was expecting and it felt very fresh to me compared to the shit they're pumping out nowadays. The religion twist gave it something quite unique and rolled with it. It opened up more possibilities for the lore and gave it more mystery.

Stargate and Farscape have the best plot devices to allow modern humans to explore space
wish another series would come along and try that again

youtube.com/watch?v=JF83LhxnAPA

Razor is on the watch-list, maybe that Plan one too; thanks user!

I will say that the religious aspect of the show made that asspull easier to swallow because of "divine intervention" and all that, but COME ON

FUCKING PIANO NOTES

I would watch a more serious Stargate tv series that went off the original movie maybe with bits and pieces of influence from the show

One more thing, watch the New Caprica and Gaeta webisodes. Then that's all there is to see

why would they abandon their technology?
those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it
that end made no fucking sense in that regard

GOD'S NOT DEAD HE IS SURELY ALIVE

While the truth of your trips is self evident, I was speaking specifically of tv shows that are spinoffs of movies, which are notorious for failing. SG1 and MASH are rare examples of not only being major successes considered better then the movies they are spun off from, many don't even realise both are movie spinoffs.

They knew they'd repeat it, but they had to buy humanity time to repopulate which wouldn't happen if computers came back to use in 20 years

Yeah, forgot about that. Those are worth watching too.
Because, as much as I enjoy a lot of this show, they just didn't know what the fuck they were doing for half of it. They had to end it somehow, and hopefully without a massive budget.

I personally think them showing up on a more advanced Earth could have been neat.

>the way their spines would glow red in the first season during sex
>that is abandoned once they realized all you need to do is fuck a Cylon doggystyle to out them

This show had some fucking amazing waifus, even JapJap is a solid 7

So did we ever find out why Baltar decided to pretend his Cylon detector didn't work, or why he gave the nuke to the terrorists?

Lucy Lawless is just a god tier specimen, as always, but something about Athena just drives my dick wild.

She's got no tits or ass, but I still think she's insanely attractive. I think it's because she's supposed to be a psycho murderbot but actually seems really vulnerable.

God made him do it.

the religious stuff was just shit being thrown at a wall for the entire show. it meant fuck all. the entire "purpose" of it was to just get hera to the new earth. that's pretty much it.

They were trying to break the cycle that they saw start(?) on Kobol, hoping that by ditching their advanced tech and their old ways of thinking and mores that they could escape this cycle of making and getting killed by robits. Clearly after their experiences they didn't totally trust their own tech or the way they used it. A dramatic choice to be sure with plenty of drawbacks but they had been through some pretty insane shit, and they were trying to think on a grand scale.
The ending sequence of current times was supposed to pose the question: Did their actions help humanity escape this cycle, or was it a mistake? Or is this destruction inevitable?

>implying the show didn't end on S2E12 and everything afterwards is either Baltar's paranoid dream, or Roslin's moribund dream

Think about it. After the Resurrection two parter, you could just stop watching the show and it would be the GOAT sci fi show. After that... eh. It stumbles along until Baltar inexplicably gives a cylon a nuke, the cylon uses it and Baltar just forgets about it.

Then Season 3 happens. And the final 5. And it all goes to shit. Better to pretend that never happened.

This sounds hilarious lmao Does he go into his ideas for restaurants shaped like food?

made it all the way to the last season and stopped watching half way through I honestly couldn't stand that shit. i am well aware im the minority and i have shit taste, sue me.

I thought this dude was pretty cool and charismatic at first but then it turns out he is just an edgy genocidal manchild. His final death scene is pretty funny actually.

I think they either just want to cut budget for special effects or they want to make it harder for the humans to figure out which one is a cylon and which one is a human.

>why would they abandon their technology?
because they wanted a fresh start. lee explains why he wanted to do it. he wanted to give humans a fresh start without all the burden of the advanced tech and he though it would end the robot/human war cycle that seemed to keep happening over and over again.

>why Baltar decided to pretend his Cylon detector didn't work
He took mercy on Boomer because he knew she didn't know she was a cylon
>why he gave the nuke to the terrorists?
He gave it to the 6 who was raped on Pegasus so she could reap justice over the cesspool that was cloud 9

In all honesty I didn't know about SG1 being a spin-off. I had a vague idea that there was a movie of it though. I'd rather not admit that I didn't know MASH was a spinoff because I never really liked it. Had a friend who adored it and always tried to get me into it... Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

What dude?

Forgot pic
I was talking about cylon #1

Attached: BSG 4x04.png (1920x1080, 2.66M)

Eh, a common consensus on Yea Forums for years was halfway through season four is when it becomes complete ass. I personally think the show had flaws as early as season two, but the highs made up for the lows.
>I think they either just want to cut budget for special effects or they want to make it harder for the humans to figure out which one is a cylon and which one is a human.

Probably. But I like the idea that the writers suddenly remembered people fuck doggystyle, and they were like "Oh shit, gotta do something about that".

That's true. She an hero'd and took them with her.

He probably realizes that the cylons might reveal that he is an unwilling conspirator of the genocide.

Now this makes me think as well. Did he know all along that Tigh and Ellen are cylons or did he ruins the results first before anything conclusive can be obtained.

Going into this show in 2019, I didn't know he was in it, or Lucy Lawless for that matter. It was a lovely surprise.

>He took mercy on Boomer because he knew she didn't know she was a cylon
But that doesn't explain why he'd pretend it didn't work, only why he lied to her specifically when she was tested
>He gave it to the 6 who was raped on Pegasus so she could reap justice over the cesspool that was cloud 9
Cloud 9 had a lot of innocent people on it and was far from the only cesspool.

Did he test the two of them?

He tested Ellen at the very least, but we never see the result of that test since Gaius ruins/faked the whole thing. But whether or not he knows Ellen's true nature is left hanging.

>But that doesn't explain why he'd pretend it didn't work
He had to otherwise everyone would know he let Boomer through on purpose
>Cloud 9 had a lot of innocent people on it and was far from the only cesspool.
True... still it was full of crazy rebels and the Quorum of 12 and Baltar assuming office probably intended to keep using Gina against political competition with the nuke being involved. She said before that she'd never kill herself so he took that for granted

Currently watching youtube.com/watch?v=a5soKh1Iiw8 with a gleeful Cheshire cat grin on my face lmao also was that a Trump joke at the start when introducing the President?

The best BSG cast interviews are the DragonCon events. The ComicCon ones are just atrocious and repetitive corporate questions about feminism

I'm gonna watch this after. Christ though, that video I linked above yours was from 2017; the women have all aged amazingly well!

>He had to otherwise everyone would know he let Boomer through on purpose
But that would be easy to justify, just keep it from her since she'd probably kill him if exposed, but reveal it to Adama (after he's been tested, of course).
>True... still it was full of crazy rebels and the Quorum of 12 and Baltar assuming office probably intended to keep using Gina against political competition with the nuke being involved. She said before that she'd never kill herself so he took that for granted
Which makes no sense, he should have known giving an unstable Cylon a nuke was a bad idea. Granted there's no logical way that was how the Cylons found them, but still pointless deaths for no gain to himself. It really feels like they wanted to make him be both a villain like in the original but at the same time be logical in his actions.

you forgot blood and chrome

>reveal it to Adama
He didn't want to reveal it because he believes Cylons are people too
>he should have known giving an unstable Cylon a nuke was a bad idea
He should've known that it was fishy his girlfriend on Caprica was fishing for security codes but it's within his character to fuck up when a woman is involved

Christ, another one I've to watch? lmao there was me thinking I had the show finished tonight

B&C isn't that necessary. It's more of a filler to see what Adama's life was like during the first war iirc

He shouldn't have given her the nuke, but Baltar took pity on her. Plus he's always kinda been a complete dumbass with women.
Blood and Chrome isn't mandatory, but it's better than Caprica. Much weaker than BSG though.

its a prequel about adamas first encounter with the cylons when he was young, it was suppose to kick off a new series but it failed, I still like it, old school vipers far as the eye can see

What about this Gaeta webisodes thing?

Why thank you pepper boy that was the perfect amount of pepper

The webisodes are pretty good. It's set during the New Caprica arc.

baltar starting a harem in s4 is what gets me though the terrible middle of that season

>Much weaker than BSG though
I wonder how things would have played out if they had picked up the series. The war only had two years left by that point. Though I still wonder why they completely redesigned the Galactica. I get that the exterior looks different due to all her batteries being at in service instead of only about a quarter of them being up, but the interior was a completely different ship and was far more advanced then it was depicted in BSG.

Gaeta webisodes are a bunch of short videos that when put into order and watched in a single viewing are basically a single episode that focuses on him. There's another web series they made too, can't remember the name of it though, is also a single episode long series.

The Gaeta webisodes were after New Caprica with an 8 and give weight to his character which would've added investment over his death

>pepper boy
wat

Ah, okay. I must have been thinking of the Resistance webisodes then. Those were set during New Caprica.

And it has the actor who played Gaeta?

maybe it was just to show that it was a new ship at the time

yes the one set on New Caprica revolves around him.

>What did you guys think of it?
I hated it. The writing got so bad after season 1 that it was a complete waste of a really incredible cast.

no it has Saul, of course its gaeta what a weird question

The New Caprica webisodes have BSG actors, the Gaeta webisodes have BSG actors (yes). I think there was a third set of webisodes about Adama but that one had a different actors

>I think there was a third set of webisodes about Adama but that one had a different actors
I'm not sure about that, but there is a webisode series that was following some nobodies and secondary characters during Raptor flight training that went wrong. Was still an entertaining 40 minutes.

You know thinking about it, they had a lot of web series. An interesting format and I wish we saw this type of experimentation again now that the web is much bigger and different.

btw has anyone played deadlock? is it any good

Attached: bsg deadlock.jpg (1920x1080, 401K)

The question implied that they'd have someone else playing Gaeta; it wasn't stupid at all. Sometimes spin-offs have stand-ins.

as far as I know all the webisodes have the actual actors

I agree. Nowadays you just watch a show then bench them. I've finished BSG tonight and have a ton of other material to still enjoy even after finishing the show.

not personally but from what I've been told by a friend who has it it is good, and does a good job expanding the lore.

Ok I remember them all now. This is basically the order
>Miniseries
>S1
>S2
>The Resistance webisodes (New Caprica with Tigh)
>S3
>Razor Flashbacks webisodes (young Adama)
>Razor
>First half of Season 4
>Face of the Enemy webisodes (Gaeta)
>Second half Season 4
>The Plan

So The Plan takes place after Season 4? Intriguing, even if another user said it was shit.

you forgot B&C again

no its over the course of the series, basically you see what One was up to that whole time

thanks been meaning to get to it, probably wait until i'm doing a bsg rewatch, looks kinda like homeworld

that list is for the series proper, B&C was a pilot for a prequel series. If you include it you may as well include Caprica.

Speaking of Caprica, did anyone else notice in that one episode when they forgot to take down a Vancouver Olympic poster from the street?

lol no, but seeing as b&c didn't get a series it can easily go before the miniseries if your doing it chronologically

BSG started strong, but the writer's strike killed it. RDM raped the corpse.

The Plan was made after season 4. I think it was about an interview that sorta took place around the Resurrection Hub episode and had flashbacks to the rest but I don't remember.
The Ronald D Moore universe in chronological order:
>Caprica Miniseries/Pilot
>Caprica S1
>Blood & Chrome
>Razor Flashbacks (around B&C)
>BSG Miniseries
>BSG S1
>BSG S2 & Razor during one of the episodes?
>Resistance webisodes
>BSG S3
>BSG S4 with Flash of the Enemy and The Plan somewhere within it

Oh apparently Moore wasn't involved with B&C. Still canon I guess since Bear McCreary does the music

you watch the plan after s4 because it spoils to much otherwise, iirc its basically when Sauls wife dies/wakes up in the hub and One and Boomer are their

sg1 is more like tos than tng, at leat until it becomes a bad parody of itself.

I did like the emotional weight of the finale but the show was so far down the shitter that I didn't mind the 'god did it'. All the development in the last 2 seasons was terrible and the only thing left were the good characters. The finale at least delivered for them.

story is a little so-so but gameplay is bretty good

Mostly what I remember from that episode and a couple others like it after season 7 were the meta jokes making fun of what people used to complain about online at the time like the team dynamic being totally ruined. Seemed so smug to me at the time.
Jokes on them because those jokes are all within a 2 year period before the show would be cancelled.

I liked posting about the cylon chicks actress being a total whore back in the day.

What about the 1978 series?

Some of the music for Caprica was great. Too bad the rest of the show didn't live up to the music.

This is my favorite piece of music from BSG.

I liked it watched as a kid before bsg ever aired, so I always knew Pegasus would show up at some point for instance, also baltar was count baltar iirc, and was 100% on the cylons side and on their baystar from day one

It was basically a Star Wars TV show. Had a lot of original ideas and charm but not a masterpiece. The first season was ok but it goes downhill from there

My favorite:

>I still don't think I understood everything
No, you understood everything. It was clear by the time the writer's strike happened that "They have a plan" was a lie and RDM had set up a great premise but not an endgame.
The small stuff like that elevated the show.
>Vipers don't just deploy without a plan they have routine patrols and a Raptor to act as their AWACS
>Galactica was built with layered counter-battery flak systems to intercept guided missiles without having to rely on computer-generated algorithms
>Everything from Colonial society had an octagonal and not rectangular shape
And my personal favorite
>Space warfare isn't on a flat plane like two 19th Century sailing ships lining up to exchange broadsides, Gaeta always calls out *three* coordinates when DRADIS picks up hostiles

Just thinking about the finale makes me seethe. I would say it's the WORST finale in the history of television. I've watched hundreds of tv shows, and I've never found one that has had as awful a finale as BSG did. It is awful in every single way, the only redeeming quality is Adama and Roslin saying bye to each other. That's about it, the only touching moment I can think of.

Everything else is pure fucking trash. I HATE how they forced the show to have some connection to our world, to our reality. That shitty NYC ending scene is the worst fucking part, I CANNOT STAND IT. Why. Why couldn't it have had a better ending? I always envisioned something like them leaving their ships on the far side of the moon, and then humanity discovering it decades later, and learning about their past and how to not repeat their mistakes with the Cylons or some shit.

God just thinking about this is making me fucking seethe right now. BSG's finale is the Mass Effect 3 ending of television. yet I still see people complain about shit like LOST which actually had a pretty decent finale, especially compared to BSG.

I will NEVER forget the disappointment I felt as I watched the BSG finale live. Never. I will always be angry about this shit. It completely ruined an otherwise fantastic show, but it's not like it was just the finale, much of season 4 was below par. I just hate that I cannot enjoy or re-watch BSG ever again, because the earlier seasons were so good at the time, it was a pretty revolutionary tv series. I was so fucking excited to watch the finale when it aired, I had been a massive fan of this show since I first learned about it and it just destroyed me. It was so fucking dumb. It was so nonsensical. It was so fucking boring.

I'm no where even near close to as mad at GoT's ending as I was with BSG. At least GoT had shown signs that it was going to be a shit show for years, BSG at least maintained a somewhat high quality even up until the finale.

Fuck I miss that era of Yea Forums. Good times.

> It is awful in every single way, the only redeeming quality is Adama and Roslin saying bye to each other. That's about it, the only touching moment I can think of.

I agree, Adama and Roslin's last moments together were genuinely touching. I did like Baltar saying he knows how to farm though. But yeah, not a good finale in my opinion, overall.

bullshit, this was great youtube.com/watch?v=mHl3dcssCBs so was baltar/6 and agathon/athena and adama/roslin ending

we need to go back

The finale wasn't bad, it was just disappointing compared to what could've been. They should've made the Cylon occupation of New Caprica all of Season 3 with Exodus as the cliffhanger. Season 4 was actually pretty enjoyable and my first episode was Starbuck and Anders arriving at the Cylon base ship

When I say the finale was shit, I'm mostly referring to part 2. There was some ok stuff in part 1 with the attack on the colony, it's the moment they get to the real "Earth" that everything falls apart.

You could not be more wrong. The Balthar character looks & talks exactly like Brannon Braga. Even the haircut is the same. He’s responsible for the destruction of Earth because he couldn’t resist a Cylon bimbo. It’s not meant to be flattering

except for the final sendoffs of most of the cast, but yes it bugs me too, everytime I see those ships heading towards the sun I want to punch lee then murder him

so when I said RDM might have made the character as a jab at braga I was right? are you drunk?

why did none of the actors get careers after it?

Can't think of a single one that I've seen appear in other series, I mean I get EJO and Mary McDonnell not really having careers after it, they were already old as hell. That said, I do remember seeing Mary in an episode of Fargo I think.

Mary McDonnell has been on that Major Crimes tv show for years. Athena/Boomer was on the Hawaii 50 reboot. I've seen Tricia Helfer pop up in a couple of things. But yeah, I guess none of them really went on to have big careers. They seem to mostly do genre stuff.

Cara was in riddick, that was nice

I wanna get into this show but I have a question, are the movies essential for the plot or can I just watch the seasons?

The miniseries is essential. The webisodes are highly recommended. The Razor movie was very good and the Plan is extra lore.

no

Attached: zG7qlt9.jpg (599x799, 143K)

Yeah I knew about the miniseries because I read that it was sort of a pseudo pilot for the show, but I had my doubts about razor and the plan. Idk I'll guess I'll just start watching it and see how much I like it. Thanks anyway

mini series/tv movie then the series, watching razor sometime during s3 is a good idea, then the rest w/e you feel like it, don't watch the plan until your done with the show

According the Tricia that's actually her bike, not one provided for the shoot.

nice

one on the right doesn't deserve to be their, you realize she smells like wet cabbage?

Babylon 5 is really good. I mean sure, there are some 90s shit in acting etc. and the effects are really pioneering the shit for television so please give it a break and understand that. But I don't think it will leave a bad taste in your mouth after you've finished it and also B5 is one of the few shows that requires a second viewing so you can spot every little story points and foreshadowing.

Jamie Bamber was on a Law & Order spin-off.
Katee Sackhoff was pretty good on Longmire.

I don't know about you guys but I was absolutely delighted by the finale. After all that hype and build up about the final five cylons, Kobol, the President's visions, the Oracle, and All Along The Watchtower, it was absolutely fantastic to get flashbacks to Starbuck and Apollo having dinner, see President Rolo Lampkin leading the survivors to the birdshit filled cave where they would die of malnutrition, and a montage of Sony Aibos in a shop window. Frakking pidgeon.

He hates humans so much he won't let them killing him.
Of all these I honestly would only accept Tricia as Cersei. Nikolaj is perfect as Jaime. It would be nice to have Jared Harris though.

typical brainlet complaining about what he never understood in the first place

I'm not sure if it was the strike or simply running out of ideas. I also noticed relatively rare religious aspect in SF was phased out gradually.
