Oh, Starbuck's hot. There's something indefinable about a girl that you know could kick the **** out of you without even trying.

Friend of mine gets back from the States tomorrow. He's carried with him a request to get season 2 for me whilst he's there.

Gonna have to be all polite and **** and wait until Saturday before I ask him about it, though.

Six Degrees of Seperation? That episode is genius. Just sheer brilliance.

Mmmm. Yes it was.

Wish I'd been less dismissive of this earlier.

Season 2 is much more of a mixed z bag than season 1 a lot more poor/average episodes mixed in with the superb ones. The big mid season three parter with the Pegasus was nice though

6 degrees was my fave so far.

Got the wife to watch the mini last night. She wouldn't quit till it was over.

Post by **Best First** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 5:24 pm

i had to watch it all in one sitting as well.

its bloody good init?

"Stay out of Galaticas fireing soloution!"

2nd series is heating up into a freaking classic - I love starbuck.

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 6:18 pm

I've seen 4 episodes of series 2 so far and it is gripping.

Easily one of the best things on TV.

And Impy, I believe the term you are looking for is 'fracking',not freaking

its just so cool init?

I spent ages trying to explain to ppl why its cool, it just has this air about it, I love the art direction is classy, If I had onecomplaint the cylons look a bit poo to me

Post by **Best First** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 4:14 pm

yeah actually i agree with that, the hand design is nifty but to be honest they don't actually look as good as the old ones somehow.

shame as the rest of the cgi is great.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Question: at the end of the mini-series, Adama gets a note saying that there are only 12 Cylon models. Who did he get that from? Did I miss something or is it connected with future plots (I'm up to 2nd episode of the 2nd season)?

I really like this series more and more, though it sometimes bugs me when cool stuff happens, but it doesn't make sense at the time (like aforementioned Six Degrees... - I mean, it's very good, but how the hell did she do that?). Whihc isn't bad, as long as it's explained at some later point.

I've just assumed it was Baltar... didn't Number Six tell him that? And he could hardly go up to Adama and tell him, given the circumstances. Ergo, anonymous notage.

S2E4 almost brought tears...

Spoilers:

No real spoilers, I just can't believe Boomer died.

Post by **Best First** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:26 am

i am posting this without reading anything to avoid spoilers but i have just ordered the first part of season 2 from the US.

aiiiight.

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 12:06 pm

Where did you order it from matey?

I can't handle the week wait between episodes on SKY, yet it gives me something to look forward to in my generally dull existance

Getaway · Post by **Getaway** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 7:32 pm

The 12 models of cylon thing was done by Baltar, the word cylon was written in Boomers locker by ... Boxey. If you watch all the deleted scenes in the first series it gives you loads of info that didn't make it into the show such as the original war on Kobol, the nature of the gods, the cylon plan and loads of stuff with Boxey where he is actually rather cool.

this is almost as cool as Jack o'neil from Stargate

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 10:44 am

Whoa, avoiding spoilers in here is an art!

Finally caught up with the miniseries. Watched it in one sitting too. How was this originally presented?

I kinda wish there were more robotic looking Cylons tho.

Great acting. Mary McDonnell is a legend.

Number 6 over Starbuck anyday. The latter is a bit too butch for my tastes.

Post by **Best First** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 1:13 pm

there are plenty of robo cylons later on matey.

teh cgi gets better on them a well in season 2 imo.

i need to know when season 2.1 is out tho.

its so amazingly good i can't quite believe it.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 2:03 pm

I've watched upto 2.05... BitTorrent is currently "acquiring" upto 2.14 for me...

Really highlights how the recent star trek stuff had gone up its own arse.

star treks formula for the succesfull TNG didnt change through DS9 ,Voy and finnalt Enterprise, by then the concept was old hat.

Alot modern TV series follow somthing akin to BG, its far more mature in its direction and concept, whats odd, is that when you look back Babylon 5 seems quite similar.

Id like to see a new Star Trek, more mature, more BG, more,,,,, well better...

More like DS9. Less like Voyager.
