BSG

[TPoptarts]

I think I like cylons. They're cool. Well except for that reporter chick from "Final Cut" I think she's like the worst cylon ever (well at least up to that episode because that's as far as I got), I mean like seriously who didn't know she was like a total cylon from the first time her face appeared on the screen. Might as well wear a flashy neon sign on her head "I'm a cylon and I need unlimited access to your ship to get your inside military info to my evil friends". Well that would be kinda long for a flashy neon head sign but I guess just "I'm a cylon" would do. But anyway I think cylons are pretty damn cool and I like them.

And another thing I like in BSG is that the "minor" characters aren't reduced to like extras/day players there's like so many people, and each of them gets their spotlight and development, they're more than just recurring familiar faces they're actually people you get to learn about. And I like that about the show.

Oh and I like Starbuck because she reminds me a lot of myself. Well except for her smoking like a chimney yucks.

*avoids telling you spoilers that would blow you away like a shotgun to a cake*

[TPoptarts]

Heh spoil away

[evcake]

They usd to have flashy headsigns.

[TPoptarts]

Where where??

Oh by the way I already know (or so I've heard like before I even started watching BSG) that they totally frelled (uh, frakked ) poor little Starbuck. I don't know how though but at least that's no spoiler anymore

Well, in olden times, they were mostly robot creatures, like silver Stormtroopers. A red light flashed across what seemed to be narrow rectangular screen on the front of their heads. And most of their dialogue was: "By yourrr commmanddd." Cybernetic warriors of few words. Strong, semi-silent types.

evcake, I know this is OT - but from what episode is that Riker quote in your sig from?

[evcake]

I think it was Contagion

Like you mean the old BSG? Never saw that one. Before my time

[evcake]

It was a hoot. Paw from Bonanza was Adama. And there was a ludicrous robot dog/bear thing. And Starbuck was a guy.

[TPoptarts]

Dude. What the frell is bonanza??

[evcake]

Ahh, Grasshopper- no, wait - maybe that should be young Padawan. In even older days, many of the programs in primetime were Westerns. Bonanza was arguably the most famous of these. Some say Gunsmoke, though. It ran from 1959 to 1973. Actually slightly before my time, since I was not allowed to watch television until I was 10, but it was in syndication for ever and ever. And ever.

[Elessar]

hey T'Poptarts, you know Tom Zarek? That guy played Apollo!

[evcake]

Good heavens. What goes around comes around.

[Rigil Kent]

I actually prefer his Tom Zarek to his Apollo, mostly 'cause Zarek is a lot more three dimensional than the old BSG Apollo ever was. That doesn't mean I agree or entirely like Zarek, but the character is definitely more interesting...
