exodus part 2 was really cool and the pegasus suicide run and dropship was all HELLYEAH at the time. it's too bad they didn't have the budget to have cool rear end battles and poo poo for 45 minutes each episode.

'cause yea it was pretty much when it went downhill with all stupid religiousgod cylon filler babble while baltar wanders around in cylon wombship with fuzzy cam because they had no money for anything else

I'm pretty sure I watched BSG until the end, but I seriously cannot remember much of anything beyond when they went down to that planet to settle. It's all just a blur because the whole plot was such a mess.

I have this problem with Season 4 in particular. The plot tempo is so frantic and the plot itself is so nonsensical that most of it beyond the main highlights just falls right out of my head.

They spent like a whole season doing the search for Kobol and stuff, and then they wrap up literally all the major conflicts in the entire series in like three episodes.

Seriously though Blood and Chrome makes Season 4 look like an A-grade production. It was blatantly obvious from the pacing that it was originally a series of 7-10 minute shorts that they spliced together.

i don't remember, why didnt they just live on kobol? seemed like a pretty habitable planet with a lot of resources. maybe at the time they were worried cylons would catch up, but then after all the poo poo that went down and they became best friends, why didnt they just go back to it since they knew where it was at least?

Well they broke their ship killing all the bad Cylons, and with their last jump they randomly managed to find a habitable planet, so settling there probably seemed like a better idea than crowding onto the basestars and spending another year jumping back to Kobol

e: Also I forgot about the supernova. That would probably not be a good thing for Kobol's habitability.

Also remember that time they built a stealth ship so cool that not even the Cylons could see it, out of spare Viper parts they had lying around? And then how after resolving a single plot it got shot up and no one ever spoke of it again?

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

Really hot sex robots that can get pregnant and constantly talk about God? You can't even destroy them unless you get the resurrection ship too.

I marathoned that show a few months ago for the second time, but this time I only went to the midseason finale of season 4 where they get to earth then I stopped watching, and it seems like a much, much better show when you end it there.

But you missed the part where they all agree to throw away everything that makes their lives bearable and spend the remainder of their awful, disease-ridden time raping cavemen.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Do you think Gaeta ever pegged somebody with his peg leg

Because Gaeta seems totally the type to go pegging

e: Also, I like how Zombie Starbuck's incompetence leg to Gaeta losing a leg and causing him to start a mutiny. Everything bad that happened was Starbuck's fault, at least until her ghost dad taught her how to play Dylan or some poo poo, seriously why that song of all songs.

e2: I mistyped "led" as "leg" in the above edit but I'm gonna keep it because it's funnier that way.

My first exposure to BSG was when it first aired on SciFi. It was the second half of the episode where Starbuck gets shot down and she goes inside of the Raider and is grabbing his tentacles and getting all gooey cylon cum all over her. It was so absurd that I didn't watch the series until last year.

It was a pretty solid show up until they found that fake-rear end Earth and they tried to wrap everything up in only a few episodes. It really needed an extra season to resolve everything.
