I have to disagree and say that I loved the “movie”. The most interesting thing in the series were probably the Cylons in the middle of the series. I love how they could resurrect like machines yet had feelings and were built to be like a human.

This really showed us that only Cavil wanted humanity dead, not all of the Cylons. He erased the memory of the final five from all the other Cylons, he wanted humanity dead and the others followed because they didn’t know any better.

It also showed us that “god” or fate stepped in to save them all from day one. Cavil should have killed the final five in the 12 Colonies, all of them should have died day one and resurrected on the cylon ship. Instead they lived on, helped to save humanity and in the end stop Cavil(who acts out like a child wanting attention from mom and dad). Cavil is basically Lucifer, lamenting God for loving humanity more then their own creation and so he let his own hubris take over and he decided to whipe out humanity so god(final five) would love him more then humans.

I must admit though I would love SOMETHING explaining exactly what was going on with Starbuck(the paint swirl, angel, her at the end). She had a lot going on mythos wise that I still want answers too.

…was it enjoyable though? I mean, you described it as exactly the way I expected it to be…interesting but not important to the overall story. My fave episodes of the series weren’t all the OMGWTF moments but the ones that show the Cylon story. Honestly I wasn’t that into the show until they started showing the Cylon side of things. That’s what intrigued me the most…the story within the story…the critiques on our society’s attitudes toward war and religion. I need to get around to watching this because it still sounds like something I would really love.

Interesting note, when Jamie Bamber (whom I like to call Bambie) came to Stony Brook for I-CON, he lead a discussion on Cylons…and he fucking hates them lol. Like, he thought they were the worst part of the show and weren’t interesting at all.

first of all, for whatever reason, the retarded blocker here at work won’t let me comment on ANY of your posts until there’s like 5 comments already. Prior to that, it denies me because of “adult” reasons. And it does this to every freakin post! It’s NUTS!

Now, having gotten then out of my sytem, i want to let you know I MEANT to comment on this early this morning, like at 8:30, but couldn’t. And now that I can comment, I’ll just say….

Battlestar Galactica and Buffy….well, actually I don’t even really HAVE a comment. Other than I hear that Doctor Who show is pretty spiffy.

HUGS…

I caught a commercial for the DVD of this a few days ago and wondered if you’d review it. The commercial really didn’t focus on the story, but more about the fact that it was new BG. Guess we know why they marketed it that way.

Given the greatness of BG, it makes you wonder why they’d put out something that’s not up to par. Especially something as big as a DVD release. It’s different when a single sub-par episode slips out, but a full-blown DVD? There’s no excuse for that, in my opinion.

Thanks for saving me a Netflix slot.

Tam: That explains Transformers 2.

“Shooting arrows and stuff” makes me sad that I am at work rather than reading Shadows Return at home.

The only shows I am trying to keep up with (I don’t have cable, I just netflix everything so I have to wait a while, but I get to watch the whole season in like three days) are Dexter and Heroes. yeah yeah yeah-”oh god but heroes blows now!!” Well…I can say this much-it most certainly does not blow. What blows is waiting a week for every single cliffhanger episode to come out. That show was meant to be seen all at once. Therefore, I still lurves it (and by lurvez it I mean I wish Sylar was my secret husband). As for Dexter, it needs no explanation of it’s genius.

I spend the rest of time rewatching favorite shows like ATHF, Venture Bros, and X-Files. Doesn’t get much dorkier than me.
