Refuses to network anything

I love how the ONE time they did, all the fears were validated.

Gaeta (sp?) did a damn good job all things considered
- Athena was the one who did all the work. What did Gaeta do? Plug some patch cables in?
- Well, for a while at least.
The network with its fake daemons and firewalls lasted how long? A minute or so?
i was gonna say! LOVED that part.

BTW I love how this show continues to hold its own today. I started rewatching it a couple weeks ago, and my wife stopped behind the couch one day and now I am not allowed to watch a second of it unless she’s there to enjoy it too.

It's just a pity on a great show to have such a bad ending.
- Wasn't that bad IMO.
- It's way less bad on rewatch. Like we had it good back then for what we considered a bad ending lol
- Each to their own.
  I loved the ending, but that doesn't mean you have to.
We just watched it last year and I can’t believe I missed it the first go round. We were blown away.
What show is this from?
- Oh you’re in for a ride! Battlestar Galactica. Not the one from the seventies, the one from the aughts. This series broke my mind on what a sci-fi series could be and do. Start with the movie/miniseries, continue with the full on series.
  The 2 x 1.5 h miniseries is from 2003. The series from 2004.
- Battlestar Galactica
I haven't watched the show before, but it's been my Sunday ritual for a little while now. I watch while ironing my shirts, it's really good ! Character writing is 10/10.

Keep those frackin' toasters outta here!

Speaking of fracking toasters, reminder that there was a valid fan theory that Cylonism was a STD for most of the series.

I always like to tell my BSG story.

Watch mini series, it's good
Don't get into the rest, forget about it
Come home one day to flat mate watching it on DVD, just as the Galactica jumps into the atmosphere on New Caprica and jumps out again.
Me: "I need to watch this from the start"
Flat mate ejects the disc right then and there and inserts the first disc of the first season.
We watch it every night until the end

Best TV ever made.

You have a great flat mate there too
The overall story really flailed around as the later seasons went on (IIRC during a writers' strike is when there was a lot of issues), but '33'- the first episode of the first season is so fantastic I still remember it distinctly.
The style, tone, and acting of BSG really kept the show intriguing even if the plot went in circles sometimes.
- There was a writer's strike in the middle of the final season which seems to have sent the show off the rails.
- Board game you say?
I'm a little sad that the first re-exposure was pretty much the pinnacle badass moment of the series. It's a great show, but that might have still set the expectations a bit high.
- That scene was the singular best piece of television in history.
  May be with the Galactica jumping into and ramming the Cylon colony later on a close second.
  I can weather the weaker parts of a story for the stong parts to shine beside. It's all good.
I'm getting my men.
