“Blood on the Scales” Review

Posted by battlestar

February 7, 2009 | 1 Comment

Just like last week, these were written as it was airing, so that’s what order they’ll be in.  And also like last week, I spent a fair amount of time only capable of watching the TV and not doing anything more, including remembering to breathe at some points.

Things I liked:

CGI of Colonial One landing on [...]

“The Oath” Review

January 31, 2009 | 3 Comments

Once again, these were written down as I was watching and appear in the order the scenes aired.  And since it was such an intense episode, in my opinion, I didn’t do a lot of writing while it was on.  But overall I thought it was a great episode.

Things I liked:

Saul’s face when Laura walked [...]

You’ll be able to tell that I was writing these things as the episode was airing and not wanting till the end.

Things I liked:

Oh, Leemo.  I’ve missed you and your girlishly emotional facial expressions.
As a biology teacher, I do appreciate seeing Baltar as a scientist again.  It’s always nice to come full circle.
Yay for the [...]

Since it is a day of gratitude, here is a list of things I am thankful for with regards to Battlestar Galactica.

That even though I am not at all excited about it, the show is smart enough to leave the airwaves while it is still nearly perfect every week.
That a show on TV has better [...]

Since we’re almost through the first season’s round of Survivor (the penultimate vote will go up once things stop acting wonky around here and I can do things that involve code and graphics), my question to you is: what should we do to kill time during the hiatus? Would you like to see more [...]

Extreme!BSG - Discussion Question

May 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

This question was brought up to TV Guide’s Matt Roush this week: “Is BSG too trigger happy?” We have seen and heard of many examples of violence on this show: murders of the innocent and not-so-innocent, rape, and weapons galore. But do you think it’s too violent of a show? Or is [...]

Alright folks, it’s the discussion question you’ve been waiting for: Who is the Final Cylon?
Being the devoted fans we are to the show, there are all kinds of theories out there about this person’s identity (I’ve even heard some ideas of it not being a person). But being the scientist I am, I need [...]

One thing I’m not a big fan of with this blog’s format is that I can’t respond directly to people’s comments. I think if you’re kind enough to come visit here, let alone leave a note, then you deserve a little interaction. So here are my replies to some comments left by you [...]

Kara Thrace and Her Special Destiny - Discussion Question

April 29, 2008 | 4 Comments

I was debating about making the first discussion question about the identity of the Final Cylon, but then I saw previews for Friday’s episode and decided to change the topic…
Herald of the Apocalypse, Harbinger of Doom, Starbuck–take your pick on Kara Thrace’s titles.
Undoubtedly with this being the final season, finding Earth is going to be [...]

My plan for today was to watch the sneak peak of “Escape Velocity” today on SciFi.com at noon since I will be leaving for a retreat in a couple of hours and won’t be back till tomorrow night. But alas, The Powers That Be have decided against showing the full episode, and instead are only [...]
