Mahoning posted:Hell, the most interesting part of the TV show Lost was seeing their backstories, how they came to be how they were at the time we first met them in the wreckage on the beach. Also, maybe I'm really weird, but I find it odd that someone would take the time to post in a thread about a show they didn't think was "that good" 8 years (wait, what, it's only been 3!?  ) after it's finished. I know I haven't got the patience to locate a Studio 60 thread and tell them that their show stunk.And here's some reminders of the show's greatness, RIGHT HERE:

If they've got a problem with people believing in God, tell her to get off this planet (or kill a lot of people). BSG is a post-apocalyptic show, there's going to be people left that still have faith. Eventually those people will burn bibles and blow their brains out. Get better friends.

What BSG quotes do you guys still use on a frequent basis? I often use (circa Pegasus) Starbuck to Adama's "Anything for you, you know that."

There were what, around 40k humans left? And less than 1,000 capable of fighting a war. Survival of that is the only important thing, kill all the robots if given the chance, otherwise what's the plan? Only kill the Cylons when they're geographically close and probably shooting at you from behind? Sure, maybe a few humans will have the weight of guilt on them forever. But the other 40k get to live and breed and restart civilisation. Fake Edit: Should have killed all the male-based Cylons and left Baltar in charge of the Threes, Sixes and Eights.

LooseChanj posted:2) The first Earth was the 13th colony, a completely different planet from the one we live on (and which was shown at the end of season 3). You never actually see any identifying features, remember. S3 ends with Starbuck saying she's been to Earth. Then the director whips to showing us Our Earth and EVERY viewer stood on their chair shouting "OH gently caress YES". Cut to S4 E10, and the BSG stumbles along a planet that looks a bit like ours but isn't. We think it's ours, Adama says on the intercom that they have found Earth. Bear McCreary plays a wonderful piece, we, the viewer almost start crying totally elated that they have found Earth, even though deep down we know there's 10 episodes left and something will go wrong, it's so refreshing to see our favourite characters celebrate something. Basically: S4 E10's Earth: Their Earth, the one from the books of Pithia that they've been searching for all this time. S4 E20's Earth: Our Earth, the one Starbuck lead them too. S3 Finale's Earth: Our Earth, perhaps not the one Starbuck meant, but the one that she was eventually guided towards by Bob Dylan/Her Dad. First time I've heard the Starbuck's Dad Is God theory, I like it and will keep in mind for the next watch.

DarkCrawler posted:Opera House, Final Five I asked this question a year ago, but lost the answer and am now stuck with a small iPod. I'm in Vancouver (which smells lovely), and for some reason the bus stops remind me of BSG (or maybe Caprica), but I also started freaking out when I saw a random fountain, any help with actual BSGesque locations would be great. Also does anyone know which mountain leads Tyrol to Eye of Jupiter? Been to the Rockies, and one of the pictures I took reminded me of it.

I assume we're on about Capt Tornvald, in this reiteration? Seriously when I see actors crossover, I instantly go "Oh cool, that's Gage's dad, and this must be his dad's twin brother", it doesn't ruin my immersion, it makes it stronger if anything. And the actor gets to say he's in all three segments of the Galactica world, he gets to tell his grandkids that BSG producers picked him over Sir James Callis. Why isn't James Callis doing anything?

Rincewind posted:I'm actually a little confused about why everything looks higher tech, since we're already ten years into the war, so they should have already stripped down and Cylon-proofed all their technology long ago. I always assumed that the Galactica under Commander Adama was representative of wartime technological best practices, just starting to get a bit rundown out of old age, and yet here everything is looking fancier than Pegasus or Valkyrie.

But... But, the cylons themselves didn't know who the Final Five were, they were basically their own species that just ended up reincarnating into other human lives. The cylons didn't purposefully make Saul Tigh be an XO just like they didn't purposefully make him a suit-wearing nobody in a previous life. Right? Right? Oh I don't bloody know anymore.

I personally like Caprica, it was like a scifi Mad Men, nothing happened, ever, until when it did and then it was so much more effective because of it.sure, V-World sucked, and I hated the William Adama switcheroo at the end. But the midseason cliffhanger and some of the police corruptness is right up there with my favourite TV moments ever.

I got a SW feel from the whole episode, what with the snow planet and the 2 guys and a girl listening to rumblings ready for the worst, and the big dumb snake that would have been better as a trash compactor thing. As for the pilots doing crazier than Starbuck things, you could argue it as a sign of the times, there were billions of people, a seemingly endless supply gadgets and vipers and pilots and knuckle draggers. Everything is just so much more expendable. Starbuck and Apollo couldn't do this dumb poo poo every day because if they hosed up, the entirety of humanity didn't have a dependable pilot left, heck, they couldn't spare to lose a viper, it was 50,000 people vs Infinite Cylons, in B&C the population is what? Over 15 billion? Hell yeah lets all turn our ships into manual nukes and ram it up some Cylon arseholes! SO SAY WE ALL!

Pretty sure Bear tweeted something about the B&C soundtrack coming out at some point. Syfy know they get a lot of income via McCreary's music, AMC keep getting told by devoted fans but won't take their fingers out.

I think people got annoyed because they expected Starbuck to be explained in the finale, but it was actually done before when Baltar outed her as an angel to the whole fleet, that was the explanation. The finale was watching her on borrowed time, I knew she was going to just disappear during the Lee speech, and it happened at the peak of Lee just being truly, joyfully happy, and I just cried like a bitch through that and the rest of the finale. Man I just love that show. In my final week of being in Vancouver, went to the Waterfall building which were the appartments for Starbuck, Apollo, Roslin and Boomer, had some Bear McCreary playing on the iPod, good times. His music evolves so brilliantly, with his themes sounding closer to Earth the closer the fleet get to Earth. Listened to Seasons 2, 3 and 4 yesterday (excluding the awesome Daybreak disc), I just love that whenever someone complains about some part of BSG, even though I normally disagree with them, I can always say "Yeah but you have to admit the music was at least brilliant."

Snak posted:Characters walking down hallways was like, half of the best scenes in BSG... Agreed. I'm getting my men. One of the best moments of the series, and I think the first time I instantly hit rewind to watch again, for any tv show. And that music, just great stuff. I've watched more episodes of The Walking Dead and Agents of SHIELD than I'd have liked because of Bear McCreary's involvement.
