I know I'm late to the party but I just started, I'm up to episode 6 and I'm enjoying it although I find a lot of the characters motivations hard to grasp: everyone is covering for each other which is risking losing the war for what? Friendship? A lot of them don't seem to like each other that much. Then there's this Doctor guy going along with a Cylon inside his head for god knows what reason.
WIll I ever understand them?
Also the miniseries was better so far, it was so dark and disturbing compared to what I've seen since.
The first season is very good. Unfortunately every following season gets progressively worse than the last.
Brandon Hernandez
what war, they are running their asses away from killer robots
Carter Hill
The Cylons are waging war against them, regardless of whether they were fighting back. Also:
>He has confessed to lying under oath and dereliction of duty during time of war
Caleb Myers
Seasons 1 and 2 are god-tier. Seasons 3 and 4 both start well but quickly lose steam in their second halves.
The ending is love it or hate it.
Austin Moore
>six episides into a show >better start a thread on Sup Forums about it
Xavier Hill
Does Cranky Smoking Doctor get more screen time? I really like him
Adam Stewart
Think of it this way: The entire human race has PTSD and is trapped in tin cans hurtling through space with killer robots right behind them. It will help you understand some of the dumbass decisions they make from here on out make sense. Good luck with it, user. I watched it as it first aired and still love it, warts and all.
Parker Bennett

What did I mean by this?

If only one side is fighting, it's not a fucking war. You wouldn't call a Concentration Camp a battlefield, would you? Don't be a fuckwit.
Aaron Cruz
A lot of them don't like each other, but are bound together through mutual respect and the military hierarchy. All of these people have been thrown into a situation in which their only option is to co-operate or die. A lot of the drama in the series comes from those tensions and conflicts arising at a time when they do not have the luxury of dealing with it.
Yeah well at least I'm not a literal whore, you smug bitch.
Caleb Brown
It's pretty good OP.
Just cut and run when you start hearing Bob Dylan.
Anthony Turner
>WIll I ever understand them?
Not really. The shows doesn't go as hog wild as other shows with the "let's-turn-the-screws tighter-with-ever-growing-coincidences" bullshit that was just starting to become fashionable in tv writing, but in the end they do take a bunch of the weirder shit they wrote and clearly had no idea how to resolve and they dismiss it with supernatural handwaving. Because of this the show's finale was gorgeous to look at and listen to but it infuriated no small fraction of the viewers because of its refusal to answer so many of the questions it had raised and then dragged out.
Season four is the worst imho as it doubles-down on the religious cult mumbo-jumbo and seems to do it just to kill time. To start with two very focused seasons and wind up in a morass of spooky confusion was awful. I wound up making myself watch the finale just to deal with my curiousity.
Nolan James
by that point there's just one season left, might as well suffer through to the end
Benjamin Gomez
Excellent show. It took nearly a decade for another good sci fi to be made
Levi Jackson
Except for Black Market and The Woman King. Some warts are just too big to overlook.
Connor Lewis
i hate westworld
Jackson Moore
What are you referring to? Fringe or Person of Interest?
Parker Wood
if that's I'M GETTING MY MEN BACK then
Andrew Jones
Yes, there are always fans about.
You should stop watching because you are a whiny cunt, so you will never understand them.
Stick to making threads telling us >Also the miniseries was better so far, it was so dark and disturbing proving that you are edgy and not a little bitch everyone thinks you are IRL.
James James
...
Liam Ward
2>mini>1>3=4 faggot >WIll I ever understand them? No, it will be very well written off as "people are confusing and illogical" in the form of character tropes that continue to plague them because Adama is a softie, and then your favorite episodes are when he cracks down like the hand of god because he'd been drinking. >miniseries was better so far Common concensus. I like Season 2 the best because the most characters peak in their entertainment value then. Saul and Chief peak just before the major twist that made a lot of people hate the series in retrospect.
Also Callie had it coming, Caprica best girl followed by Starbuck.
Samuel Diaz
There has never been a better Sci-fi show. Its not perfect, far from it, but Star Trek is for commie spergs, all of it, and its leagues ahead because it has the least reliance on kitch and much better acting than anything else.
Dylan Foster
An Adama maneuver should refer to anything really dumb and illogical you do because its suddenly brilliant based on how desperate you are.
Nicholas Garcia
So say we all.
Ayden Price
Saul still best character
Dominic Brown
Oh yeah Doc Cottle is quality. I always enjoyed seeing him on-screen. >Do you mind? >Yes
Zachary Nguyen
I honestly think that my favourite moment in all of BSG is those few seconds right after the phone call when Adama's walking down the corridor towards the CIC with those violins in the background
Elijah Bailey
Pegasus is my shipfu I'll never forgive Lee for destroying her
Luke Rodriguez
Fat Lee fucked up a lot
Eli Sanchez
I was rewatching BSG a couple of weeks ago The miniseries is really frakking good and sets up a fantastic premise for the show. Season 1 is pure unadulterated sci-fi kino Season 2 begins as a continuation of Season 1, before becoming even better. Then come the filler episodes. Season 3 starts very strong. Then the writer's strike hits and it all starts going to shit. Season 4 has a couple of good scenes but you really have to search for them. Plot threads get thrown out left right and centre, previous character arcs are retconned and the ending is extremely hit and miss
Adrian Brooks
But I'd call Pearl Harbor a war
Jaxson Ross
Starbuck dies and comes back. Billy dies. The woman who played Xena: Warrior Princess, Lucy Lawless, her character is a cylon, she also does a documentory. Helo gets Sharon pregnant and they both get off of Caprica when Starbuck returns to Caprica looking for some ancient artifact.
Dr. Gaius Baltar does have a Cylon or a mental projection of a cylon, but I don't really know if she is a Cylon, she's more like a spirit or something. Tigh also has a wife that survived the attacks on the Colonies and also Tigh and his wife are Cylons, they just don't know it. Oh yeah, even the chief of the mechanics, I forgot his name, his also a Cylon and he eventually marries Callie who cheats on him with Hotdog.
Eventually, they encounter the Pegasus.
Dude, like how did you not watch this stuff when it was airing on Sci Fi/SyFy
Yeah, he gets more screentime. He even helps deliver Helo and Sharon's child.
Matthew Baker
>its a Starbuck episode
Jack Price
The overwhelming depression of Season 4 with the generous amount you can salvage from very good performances on a weak continuity script makes me hate it a lot less than most people seem to. Also I liked the ending overall. Overall.
Gabriel Campbell
Oh, none of this stuff I mentioned is in chronological order. I just wanted to spoil stuff.
Hey, how do I use thespo
Jace Mitchell
Black Market I can kind of overlook. It failed miserably at giving Lee some sort of edgy storyline, but I liked his resolution to the situation. I always thought Bamber did a pretty good job despite the writers making him seem damn near schizophrenic throughout the series.
The Woman King was an absolute abomination that made me seriously consider dropping the show altogether. Fucking awful.
Cooper Adams
Boomer [on Galactica becomes a villain.] Sharon who was on Caprica with Helo [eventually sides with humans and gets the nickname Athena.]
Anthony Gomez
It does have its moments Cavil's I don't want to be human speech The final scenes of Revelations Seeing how things just go to shit after they find Earth is another nuclear wasteland The Oath/Blood on the Scales But it's mired in so much shit
Austin King
>Its a Lee literally cannot stop making the wrong decision episode.
Grayson Walker
Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make him fall in love with a hooker when he was supposed to have a thing for Starbuck?
Angel Peterson
Hey how do I use the spoiler. [Kat becomes the ace, usurping Starbuck's position as the best Viper pilot.]
Gavin Myers
Oh, I give up with trying to use those spoiler censors.
