BSG - Season 4

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I think this is the strongest season yet. I cant believe we have to wait 6 months or so for the 2nd half :(

Galactica is perhaps the greatest thing in history.

Am two/three eps behind. Should catch up by the weekend. Need rest now, dammit.

anyone else seen the Hub yet - before I go spoiler mad and shout about all the good bits?

So some crazy theories i want to throw out there about the end of BSG.

Is Baltar like going to turn out to be Jesus or somthing?

This has been an awesome series so far, really loving it. I love Apollo's new role as Roslin's foil.

The Hub was fantastic too. Hurry up and watch, everyone, so we can get spoilery in here!

[edit] while I'm here Impy, just read Storm of Iron and found it to be a great read. Would recommend 100% (to people who like war in the 41st millennium, obviously).
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Been a great little season, hardly any filler (obviously cause they now know where they're going) and some great performances (how great was EJO in the last ep?) Can't believe I'm saying this tho, but perhaps its moving too quickly. Some relationships/characterisations seem to have been lost along the way. Gotta say they're really dragging it out the broadcast of the show - if they don't show the next 10 eps till next year, thats pretty tight.

I thought Season 2.5 had several shark jumping moments...

It's been somersaulting over the shark since pretty much the beginning of the series. Pretty much every single plot aspect has been covered in "god that's awesome, though I have no idea what's going on and they could easily bottle the explanation".

Season 3 finale as case in point. They made that work. I believe in them! I BELIEVE!

Much like Baltar.

Should get the last three eps later this week. Marathon session!

ok but if they can top that then all power to them because I just watched #10 again and holy ****ing shiznit did they do a good ****ing job of rounding off the first half of the season. **** I can't think where they're going to go from here.


****.


****ing ****.

Baltar talking to that Cylon in the Hub was piss funny "They did tell you about God, didnt they?..."

@ Rob: Storm of Iron is ace, it also crosses over into the UltraMarine story about Uriel, in the book Dead Sky Black Sun. which is rather clever (book 3 in the ultra marine series) and im waiting for book 4 at the moment.

Thats whilst i read the most awesome Soul Drinkers Omnibus ( halfway through book 3)

Ill just shout this again: READ THE HORUS HERESY!!! its FTW :)

I mean, who doesnt want to read about demi-god like Primarchs taking over the galaxy?

Awesomeness. Pure awesomeness.

That last long panning shot was the absolute business. We don't deserve TV this good.

Yeah, gah.

Because I was all like "come on... what's gonna happen..." and then it was, like, what happened. And I was like ".............................."

All like "no, you can't leave me there till next year" with no idea where they're gonna take the story next. So I'm upto speed with why we're mid backflip above a shark. 10 more eps to go still.

With lots of goddamn questions.

Though I have a vague idea where they might go with it but I don't want to get spoilery for anybody.

Apparently they speak Latin too, though.
