Werthead Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Since the last thread reached boxing stage. Interesting article in the Guardian [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/mar/19/battlestar-galactica-review"]here[/url] which asks if [b]BSG[/b] is better than [b]The Wire[/b]. The answer is no, of course. But at its best, not far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isis Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 [quote]How about a series that's as passionate and intelligent as The West Wing when debating war and terrorism, or as emotionally articulate about death, loss and love as Six Feet Under, [b]or as trippy, mystical and deliciously baffling as Twin Peaks?[/b][/quote]I'm not going to say that nothing else I've ever seen is as trippy etc, as Twin Peaks. But I am going to say that BSG certainly isn't. It's just not. Also, bit of spoiler about Starbuck AND a lame cop out saying that it's not a spoiler because if you haven't seen the series you won't comprehend the relevance of the final five. I'm sure there are plenty of things to say about the character without giving stuff away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 As the countdown to the finale kicks in, how about [url="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2009/03/battlestar-ga-3.html"]a nice drink with the Tighs[/url]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydog7 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Will this be the last one? Given our ability to fill up Galactica treads probably not. 5 and 1/2 years? Oh man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazydog7 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The first promos of Caprica don't look so bad. I hope Syfy can make a go of it (syfy I'm not even going to start with the jokes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 RDM totally mis-sold [b]Caprica[/b]. Saying it's like [b]Dyansty[/b] isn't going to get people to watch it. They seem to be now retooling the ad campaign to point out that the development of AI and the accompanying moral quandaries is something we ourselves may have to face in less than a century. Also, RDM's recent comment that: SPOILER: CapricaWe will meet Cylon #7 in [b]Caprica[/b] suggests that [b]Caprica[/b] will span a long period of time and may take us into the First Cylon War in all its glory, so if the audience gets restless they can break out more space dogfights.

I want to save them up and rush them through all in one great big orgasmic go. At least that's the plan. It would suck if i spend four hours building up to a shitty ending.

EHK for Darwin Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 [quote name='Werthead' post='1725296' date='Mar 19 2009, 07.10']Since the last thread reached boxing stage.

The answer is no, of course. But at its best, not far off.[/quote] Such a laughably absurd notion that I won't even bother reading the article. The Guardian should feel ashamed to have printed it. They've destroyed every ounce of credibility they've ever built up in their decades (centuries?) of print. Noone should ever buy the paper again. We should all laugh and snicker every time someone brings up a Guardian article as a source for any subject. The paper should be banished to the 9th level of hell and anyone who speaks of it again should be shot. Now I'm off to General Chatter to scour the threads for a Guardian link so that I can mock the poster and dismiss their arguments as preemptively and self-evidently invalid.

Werthead Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 For all of its many, many problems, [b]BSG[/b] was still a solid show and I'll be sorry to see Saul Motherfuckin' Tigh go. One bemusing spoiler from an early review: SPOILER: BSGApparently at one point a title card flashes up that says, "150,000 years later", which I'm assuming was a ludicrous exaggeration on the reviewer's part. :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrackerNeil Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm curious to see just how many crew members Adama can forgive before the end, because the list of forgiven crimes is growing: Tyrol - murder Thrace - desertion Adama (Lee) - mutiny Agathon - murder Edmundson - mutiny, collaboration with mutiny Dualla - collaboration with mutiny Skulls - mutiny I'm wondering if we can get in at least one more desertion before whatever happens happens.

Bronn Stone Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 At least in the cases of Racetrack, Skulls and Tyrol 'being permitted to volunteer for a suicide mission' hardly counts as 'forgiveness'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
