I'm up to Black Market in BSG

Can I have Ops?
Season 2.

IT was a bit dull.

But I am totally pulled into this series. Hope Scar is better
 
Black Market was one of the duds of season 2. The episode could've been skipped entirely and you wouldn't have missed a thing.

I think a lot of people didn't like Scar, but I enjoyed it. OH yeah it's the way they did it that people didn't like... present time, then 6 hrs ago, then present time again, then 4 hrs ago, etc. They should have just done a straight from beginning to end episode instead of jumping around.

One of the reasons that was annoying was that Black Market did the same thing in the previous episode.
 
I sense they are trying to slow down the storyline at the moment with character development. It's an easy mistake when you have 20 episodes to fill in a season.

I'm still hooked
 
One of the things that will probably come to annoy you, as it has me and many other fans, is the constant character development at the sacrifice of plot.

Romances on teh show, in the beginning, were subtle.. or just plain sexy. Now they're night time soaps. Things that could've just been left mostly to the imagination are explained in detail.. like Lee's emo personality.

Also in the beginning the timeline was slow, not much time passed between episodes. So you got to witness the consequences of certain actions. Sometime during the second season they started jumping forward in huge leaps.. They try to play catch up by having a character mention something, but we as viewers didn't get to see it play out. I think the writers got impatient for certain story arcs to conclude so they could begin a different one. The show suffered for it, which is one of the reasons the ratings are down, and continue to drop.

I STILL LOVE THE SHOW THOUGH, OK?
 
The best use of the "24 hours later" thing was in Resurrection Ship when Lee was floating through space and you could see the battle reflected in his helmet. Awesome special effects on the resurrection ship being destroy and all the Cylon bodies floating out.
 
Yeah, Resurrection Ship was awesome.
 
Resurrection Ship was gripping, great effects, storyline and character development along the way
 
AND NAKED MUD WRESTLING
 
Black Market is probably my least favorite episode of the show to date. If you can get through that without too much trouble you shouldn't have many problems with the rest of season 2 and season 3.
 
I'm listening to the frak party podcast.. so funny to listen to RM and his friends cracking up.. haven't gotten to the Q&A part yet.

I KNOW THREE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T CYLONS!!
 
^ Just downloaded that a bit ago. I'll give it a listen later, after Lost is over.
 
I'm using quicktime, so it is downloading pretty fast (I'm on dial up if you didn't already know that)

It's pretty interesting. He explains a little about using All Along the Watchtower.
 
I just got this bulletin on myspace (best BSG bulletin evar)

Please be advised your unauthorized download activity has exposed us to legal action from The Big Guy under the Quadra-Digital Quadra-Millennium Copyright Act.

Not to mention that your unauthorized use of resurrection resources is inconsiderate. One only has so much white goo to go around, you know?

Please write up a corrective action that we can discuss at your bi-centennial performance review.

Love

Mr. Gaeta:

It's come to my attention that we've arrived at our present location facing backwards. While I'm sure there is no call to make this fact known indiscriminately, you may wish to make this correction and inform the rest of the fleet as appropriate.

It's telling that you are as navigationally dyslexic as you are an inadequate girly-man of an assassin.

You're on the new reading list. Do you think you could come on our show? Also, bring six along, since Oprah needs some dieting tips.

Re: Maintenance Rotation

Please remember that regularly scheduled maintenance on Raiders Vipers will proceed as normal. Our beloved Basestar Galactica has only so many mindless Cylon robot slaves deck hands to perform this glorious work for the benefit of the collective, the collective is all.

So please remember the mindless Cylon robot slaves workers as you schedule your heroic death to bring victory over the puny humans air patrols.

As always, death to all humans good hunting.

I miss you so much, my love. Unfortunately, I just haven't had the chance to throw anyone out of you lately...however, I'm hoping to find a cylon on board...and then we shall meet again. Oh, how I miss you.

PS. Pay no attention to the Adama rumors. He can't compare to you. I might even throw him out of you if he steps out of line.

Re: Divorce
CC: Lt. Anastasia Dualla


Dear Mr. Adama,

The purpose of this transmission is to inform you that you are being sued for divorce by your estranged wife, Anastasia Dualla. As you were absent from your divorce proceedings, which were directly following the conclusion of the Gaius Baltar Trial, the judge has ruled that you shall henceforth pay the plaintiff the greater of $75,000 cubits per year or 20% of your income as alimony, in addition to 10% of your monthly salary as child support. (See forthcoming paternity test and ultra-sound photo) We would appreciate your presence at the next hearing to officially dissolve your marriage, provided you are not busy "pining for your dead brother's dead fiance." Your wife asks you to let her know if there will be a ten-minute window of time when that is not the case. Also, please relocate your personal items to the Pilot's rack, as the plaintiff will continue to reside in your formerly mutual quarters.

I look forward to seeing you on the other side of the aisle.

Fondly,

Romo Lampkin

What's this about Cavil supposedly knowing who the Final Five are?
 
That is what some people are speculating.
 
He just appeared from nowhere in the Temple Of Five. Wearing a hat
 
maybe he came down to the planet in D'Anna's ship like a stowaway.
 
Maybe the hat was a personal transporter.
