Battlestar Galactica So Far

BSG started out intense. From the Cylon in-fighting to newbie Cylons throwing people out of air locks to the religious banter. The religious angle bores me and there is too much of it for my taste. The Cylons seem to be falling apart. Why are they being so erratic? I know why but isn't there a centralized leader to direct them? They talk about what's forbidden and blah, blah, blah but they seem to be as lost as our humans. The only person that seems to be on track is Starbuck. The mission is to find Earth. Why is she doing this alone. It' should be a fleet effort. I understand that it *could be* a cylon trap but she should have more resources. Speaking of Starbuck, what happened? Did she time travel? Patrick Aquilone has an interesting theory that involves something from the original series called The Ship of Lights. It's pretty interesting.

My predictions: Tory will be the first of the new fangled four (five) to die. She's way too off. Because she's not Tigh or Tyrol, a major character, she's expendable.
As much as I despise him, Lee Adama might be president. Seems like they are gearing him up for that position.
The whole show is looking like a military exercise or perhaps a dream. Just that though makes me wanna slap somebody.

Currently, I do a brief reviewcap at Tubular. I also do live chat on Twitter the night BSG airs in CST.

Battlestar Galactica: Razor

Bottom Line: I liked Battlestar Galactica: Razor.

I remember when they first introduced Helena Caine, I thought the story was wrapped up too fast. I wanted more. I feel that someone listened. This story was interesting but didn't impose itself with the latest happenings of the current storyline on BSG until the last scene.

Helena Caine... that bitch is fierce. She had the Darth Vader style of management. Too bad because Scott Bacic is one of my favorite actors. It was good to see him in BSG. Maybe he can come back as a cylon or something. Anyhoo... Caine is definitely no Janeway. She's shooting her 2nd in command, authorizing Cylons to be raped, ordering civilians to be executed and their ships to be pillaged. To top it off she awards her lap dog, Kendra Shaw, with a knife.

There were two big reveals in this episode. One was that Adama discovered some cylon hybrid ships. They were the bridge between the toaster cylons and the new model skin jobs. The cylons also had some sort of superweapon. I really didn't care about that though.

The second big reveal is that Starbuck is supposed to be leading the human race to its end. She is the herald of the apocalypse; the harbinger of death. They must not follow her.
Interesting....

Battlestar Galactica In a Theatre Not Near Me

Yes! I'm whining and moaning because Battlestar Galatcica: Razor will not be airing in Houston. It will be showing in Dallas but it's a 5 hour drive. I'm really considering the trip but tickets aren't guaranteed. If I do all that driving and don't get in, someone is going to loose a body part.
... in other news, a crazy science fiction fan is arrested because they wouldn't let her see Battlestar Galactica: Razor at a special screening...
I guess I have to be like everyone else and see it on TV. I guess I need to move to Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco or Seattle. These are the lucky cities that will have the screening. Hmmmm..... seriously thinking about packing up to Seattle. :) Le

Learn more about this event at Slice of SciFi.com and www.BattlestarEvent.com. If you are in one of those cities, report back. Let us know how it went!

BSG: What's This Razor Business?

So....
They are serious. Next season will be the last season of BSG. Smallville has lasted longer than that. Hell, Earth: Final Conflict lasted longer than that. I still can't accept this loss which is why this info is still a fresh wound for me. It's just not right. I blame reality shows. They are so cheap to produce and make tons of profit because of it. Compared to that tripe, BSG can't compare. (total spiteful speculation)

This November, they are going to pull a movie out of their arse and have a dead character, Helena Cain and Lee Adama hold their own in this movie. Of course this will be a flashback movie. I just don't get it. Why do this? Why these characters? It better be good.

Lucy Lawless is coming back. um.... yay?

Also, the crew will not necessarily find Earth but will find something Earth-like.... whatever that means.

Ah well... do what they like. I'll still have my butt planted in front of the TV.

BSG: Crossroads Pt. 2

This episode and season finale was KILLER!!!!

BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2008 FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.

3 out of 5 ain't bad.
I initially said that Tigh, Gaeta, Dee, Sam, Tyrol were cylon's. Turns out that it's Tigh, Kara, Sam, Tyrol and Tory. Kara returns and knows where earth is. I knew she was going to come back. I knew the first person to lay eyes on her was going to be Lee Adama. I DID NOT expect her to say she had info about Earth.

Let me start from the beginning.

Laura and Will have a very cute phone conversation at the beginning of the episode. I love them together. They bring a stabilizing effect when they interact.

Baltar goes free and is "Not Guilty". *rolls eyes*
Colonel Tigh has one eye and he could see that coming.

Hippy sitar music brings 4 of the 5 mystery cylons together. Their reactions to the news is very tempered and mature. I think Troy will be the first to die.

Starbuck returns!!!! SHE IS NOT DEADish. We are to assume that she is a cylon. Not only that, she's calm, relaxed and knows where Earth is. If she knows, do the other cylons know?

I am VERY AFRAID of the show going to Earth. I didn't watch the crappy 80's debacle but I heard it was very painful to watch.

We have to wait until 2008 for the next episode. DAMN YOU RON MOORE!!!!
I mean... I LOVE YOU RON MOORE!!!
I mean...
*sighs*

My theory.....
I think the cylons that have been hunting the "humans" were looking for "the five cylons" all along. Maybe they were hunting "the five cylons" down so that they couldn't help the "humans" find Earth.
Or.... that everyone on the ship is a cylon and this is some bizarre experiment. That theory would piss me off.

BSG: The Trial

This episode starts out with silliness. I mean, Baltar as a savior??? You gotta be frakkin' kidding me!!! Baltar is getting increasingly slimier. He's always had a fun factor to him but now he's getting creepy and pathetic. Awesome right? :D

How do we measure loss? Riveting presentation by the prosecutor. I can't believe that 5,197 people died on New Caprica. That is a ridiculous amount of people that died for nothing. Looking at the previews, they are going to let Baltar off. That's the only thing that could get a response like shown in the previews. Speaking of the upcoming episode, SciFi Wire of all places, let everyone know that spoilers about the next episode have hit the net. I haven't seen them and hopefully it can stay that way. I write spoilers here but only AFTER the episode has been aired. Anything before that is just mean IMO.

Off that soapbox....
Tigh's cross examination was a shame. Someone should just take him out to the pasture and shoot him. What's going to be even worse for the guy is I suspect that he is a cylon. That would totally suck for him but would be totally on par with the luck he's been having.

Adama vs. Adama: I personally think Lee is a weasel and a coward. I've never liked him. I wished Admiral Adama would have punched Lee in the face.
Dee leaves Lee: Good, he's full of shit and she can do better.
Helo- "There's a storm coming": Nice cryptic message. What is he a Ghost Whisperer now? That should have been a line for Laura.
Laura: Her cancer is back?!?!?!?? Oh no!!!! That's awful. I sure hope she is a cylon so that she can get a new body. I like her character and I don't want her to go.

I can't wait for next week but I know it's going to be one hell of a cliff hanger.

BSG: The Son Also Rises

Not a bad episode. There were tears involved on my end. I'm such a girl... wait....

Kara's husband, Sam, tried to drink away his pain. For a second there I thought Lee was going to join him on top of that bird, start drinking and singing Klingon battles songs. Kara would have liked that.

This week, we get "vicious acts of terrorism". Baltar's first sleazy lawyer gets killed and is replaced by a sleazier klepto lawyer who was also a sleazy criminal on Firefly (Badger). We find out that President Laura either hates cats or is frightened by them. Jeez, a woman that doesn't like cats? What type of cold, hard ass is she? Get that woman a puppy or something!

Another thing, Caprica 6, how is it that she's been in prison for days and she looks like she's ready for the red carpet? Does she have access to a stylist and a credit card? Her hair still looks all fresh and shiny. She has on stylish shoes and a couture gown for crying out loud. I want to be in Galactica's brig!!!

Calli annoys the crap out of me. She's always whining. Lee annoys me. He whines more than Luke Skywalker. I was hoping that Adama was going to smack him. Would have made the episode that much better.

So... two more episodes 'til the summer break. I have a feeling that we're in for it.

Kara Thrace Is....

SPOILERS!!!!!!!

SPOILERISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kara Thrace Is Not Dead

Of course I still don't know anything for sure.

Lynne and I (heck almost everyone) has suspected that Kara Thrace is a cylon. I've been wondering how it all was going to be pulled off and now we know. I can't wait until they bring her back from the dead.

Now for some hardcore speculation:
Kara had visions of a cylon in her head right before she died. Baltar has these same types of visions. I now think that he is a cylon again. Adama had dreams of his wife; maybe he's a cylon too. I still think that Gaeta may be one.

Battlestar Galactica: The Strike Episode

The latest episode of Battlestar Galactica, Dirty Hands, blew me away. I like stories with meat on it. There was so much information about how the ship works and the "little people". This is always something Star Trek glossed over even in DS9. This episode reminded me of Babylon 5's By Any Means Necessary and was just as rewarding.

We become aware that the workers have been there, working everyday, non-stop, with no real pay since the first attacks. I was amazed that the workers lasted that long. They are so loyal that they waited until someone suggested a strike before they actually went on one. These citizens deserve more than the heavy hand that Adama was giving them. He was made to realize that he couldn't force these people to work without breaks and morale boosting. The fleet would fall apart. I understood his declaring the strike as mutiny and threatening to shoot the mutineers. Janeway had a similar philosophy aboard Voyager BUT he can't force the workers to work at gunpoint, that would be slavery.

Baltar put out an underground book that planted the seed that started the mass dissatisfaction. He has a "set" on him. How he manages to still draw breath amazes me. His book isn't totally lying but coming from him it looks like stirring the pot for his upcoming trial circus.

In my opinion, this was an award winning episode. Good job!

Battlestar Galactica: It's Good!

I'm a week behind as of this second but I'll probably catch up tonight. I love the second part of this season. I'm fully recovered from the New Caprica Debaucle. The 5 cylon story has me engaged. President Laura and her intense scene with Baltar impressed me. Adama is has a darker soul than anyone could have ever imagined. I mean submitting someone to an acid trip to get information? Very dark. Kara and Lee bore me to tears. I HATE THAT PLOT. I'm not big on mush and have a low tolerance for relationship drama. Leave or stay, have sex or don't, be happy or not; quite a binary attitude but it works for me.

Cylon predictions: Colonel Tigh, Gaeta, Dee, Kara's husband, Tyrol

It would be great for Baltar to be a cylon but like someone said before, that's too easy.

I've Turned A Corner with BSG

Well....

Last week's episode of Battlestar Galactica made this whole New Caprica debacle all worth it. *bows to Ron Moore saying 'We are not worthy'*

I'm sure everyone understood my concerns. I felt the Pegusus story was rushed. I felt the New Caprica story was just plain sloppy. After being burned by Star Trek: Enterprise anyone should totally understand my anxiety when it comes to good franchises turning to squat. I'm still a bit scarred from that and the creation and cancellation of good Sci-Fi TV shows last season.

I voice my fears and dissatisfaction the same way I profess my love for shows. I don't mind being wrong but most of the time I'm right.
OK.... enough of that.

Something just wasn't "right" with the way the New Caprica story was handled. It has never sat right with me and made it hard to look forward to the new season of Battlestar Galactica. Given my reservations, I still went in there and watched.

Last week's Exodus Part II gave me the the geekgasm that I was yearning for. This is the episode that had the big pay off. I don't think it was a reward or a gift. It definitely demonstrated that the show hasn't lost it's edge. All of the seemingly sloppy loose ends and erratically introduced new story arcs came together and tied up in a nice, neat bow.

There were 5 major things that re-sold me on the show.

1) The death of Tigh's wife.
I cried. I still think that the ordering of her death and Tigh executing those orders were premature. I still think that the she could have been redeemed. She showed incredible loyalty to her husband and for that I think he should have protected her at all costs. I think he was wrong to succumb to peer pressure and murder her. I don't think that any of that was their call. Sure, soldiers died but they were being rescued the same day. I think she should have been taken to Galactica and tried. The Cylons put them in that situation and The Cylons killed those soldiers.

2) President Laura reclaiming her chair and office.
Damn that was sweet! That was the BEST part of the episode. I LOVE her character.

3)The ship scene!
You know which one. The one where the ship comes down in atmo and then jumps to hyper just in time to avoid crashing and killing those below. GOOSEBUMPS!!! There were a lot of space battle scenes that make me want to re-watch this episode.

4) Fake-Fat Lee Adama disobeying orders.
That boy is good for something. Sure he whines more than Luke Skywalker but he's just as triumphant too. Bravo!

5) The Tigh/Adama Reunion.
Tigh was just the drunk soldier before. Now he's the war torn, one-eyed, wife-murdering, second fiddle, broken, angry, tired, under-appreciated unsung hero. I LOVE the scene when Adama gets cheers and is lifted on everyone's shoulders and Tigh walks off quietly through the crowd. This doesn't go unnoticed by Adama and THAT was AWESOME. It was perfect and it was THE scene that restored my faith in the show.

Battlestar Galactica - I'm Not In To It

After really hating last season's finale and not appeased by the webisodes, I still went into the new season of Battlestar Galactica with high hopes.... or at least an open mind. I do not like the new direction of the show. So much so that I'm thinking about taking a break from the show. I get the parallel to today's society. I get the terrorist angle. I get the religious angle. Take all of that away and it's just another soap-opera. It doesn't even feel like a space-opera. I'm not intrigued by the Cylons or whatever BS they are spewing. There's no wow factor, no adventure, hell it's not even crack TV for me. The show is not a joy to watch, there are no treats, it feels like a burden. I am EXTREMELY lenient with TV shows. I watched all 5 seasons of Earth Final Conflict for crying out loud. I watched Mansquito all the way through. For some reason, I actually feel compelled to turn Battlestar Galactica off. It's a weird sensation, I feel uneasy and inadequate. I feel off-centered. I'm questioning my sci-fi loyalty but I shouldn't have to work this hard to like a show. I really WANT to like this show but it's just not happening for me anymore.

Ron Moore, I think I need some space. Can we still be friends?

I'll let my DVR keep on recording it. I'll build up a few episodes and watch them in a marathon. If that doesn't work, I'm going to officially say that I don't watch Battlestar Galactica because I just don't like it. That would truly feel alien.

Quick and Dirty Thoughts

I'm going to A.D.D you through my thoughts on the latest shows.

LOST
LOVED IT! Just when I thought there were no more angles on the plane crash, BAM!, they hit us with "The Others" perspective. It doesn't feel like a re-hash either. I'm totally interested in their view and approach to the plane crash. I can't believe how good this show is. It seems like this show could out do Babylon 5 in well-thought out arcs and plots.
ABC's 'Lost,' Wednesdays 9/8c


SUPERNATURAL
The best new show that you may not be watching. It's a cross between Angel and X-Files. It's witty like Buffy and feels a little like Smallville but really good in it's own way. If you like hot guys, there are two brothers that are a treat to look at. The dad isn't bad either... well .... that was before..... They also have a hot chick of the week for the fellas.
If you miss demon hunting, rituals and mystical beings, catch this show! ...and unlike Blade, it made it to it's second season. (oh yes! I'm going to drag the Blade thing on for awhile. I'm still pissed!)
Supernatural.tv


Heroes
REALLY LOVE IT!!!!
The first episode concerned me a bit for some reason but the second episode sealed the deal for me. Hiro is my absolute favorite mainly because he is a Trekkie :) Most of the stories are intriguing... actually all of them are. It's super powers without being campy or too serious. The show really puts the "everyday" in the whole story. It's accessible without making you feel dirty for watching a sci-fi show.
Instead of "The Cigarette Smoking Man" looks like we have "The Eyeglasses Wearing Guy". He's growing out that mustache to twirl. Hopefully he doesn't muhahaha us too soon.
nbc com heroes


Battlestar Galactica
The Story So Far.... (BSG Recap Show) was a great idea and refresher course in Battlestar Galactica. If you are thinking about jumping into BSG but don't feel like watching the last few seasons, this will bring you up to speed. Over the course of the show, I'd forgotten a lot of the things covered in this recap show. In all of the details of their lives I forgot that these people were looking for Earth. It got me curious again.... well... panicked. I've heard about how bad the original show was when the crew got to Earth. I'm wondering how our modern show would handle going/coming to Earth. Intriguing.
For now though, the story is so far from Earth that it's depressing. I eventually watched all of the webisodes on scifi.com. I must say that I've overcome my initial disappointment, resentment and reluctance to this coming season. The recap show calmed my disgruntled spirit and sparked my curiosity again. That and I trust Ron Moore a bit. I hope he doesn't "do us wrong".
SCIFI.COM | Battlestar Galactica


Numb3rs
This little FBI crime drama that uses math to solve crime has been on for THREE, count them THREE seasons. AHH AHH AHH AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
This show makes you feel smart just by watching it. I'm not sure if it has improved my IQ any but let's just say it does for the feel good factor of this entry. Charlie Eppes (Mr. Universe from Serenity - David Krumholtz), Don Eppes (Northern Exposure - Rob Morrow), Omar Epps (just kidding) and Alan Eppes (Judd Hirsch) make up the power house family of moderately cute men that help solve crime using math, FBI training and common freaking sense, respectively.
This show throws "It's math and I can't use it in my every day life" back in the faces of those under- achievers who've said this. This show also seems to have a math problem for EVERYTHING. There's even a website dedicated to explaining the problems on the show for you and of course it's called We All Us Math Everyday.com.
If it seems like too much technobabble for you, the show is balanced by family issues like the death of their mother, Charlie's relationship/not relationship with a math chick, kidnapping and of course EXPLOSIONS. If you try hard enough, it's possible to totally ignore the math on the show.
NUMB3RS on CBS


Doctor Who
Oh... look... another show that made it to the second season. We have a new, new Doctor. He's not as hot as the old, new doctor but he'll do. If the beginning of the season seems slow and doesn't pull you in, wait it out, the season gets better. I think Doctor David Tennant is best when he's angry and goofy. I won't spoil anything but the devil episode is awesome. The Olympic episode is awesome too especially the torch scene. You'll love the Cybermen and the Daleks toward the end of the season.
BBC - Doctor Who - The Official Site


My DVR cut off the end of the Eureka finale so I'll come back with my thoughts on that later.
