As strange as it feels - I agree with ZB. No offense to the guys working the mod (Who're doing a top notch job), but the non-FS BTRL fans are, by and large, a combination of all the worst internet stereotypes. The onyl saving grace is that they're concentrated on Game Warden and haven't invaded HLP or SG yet.

An excellent episode.   The whole thing really came together there in part 2.  Absolutely brilliant work all around.  The CGI for this one was immense...simply stunning work.  That scene where Galactica is falling through the atmsophere was brilliant.  The Viper's launching through the flames and everything...wow.

I adored Pegasus as a ship...it was great.  But we knew her time would be up sooner or later and this was a great way for it to go.  The music I think helped with this...the bagpipes playing.  They did in such a way that it makes the loss worthwhile...stunning, sad, but worthwhile.  Impressive to say the least.

Indeed - one of my favorite episodes so far, probably second only to Scar :) I won't be deleting this one off my DVR for quite awhile :D

Best sci-fi i've seen in a while. Hell, best anything i've seen in a good long while. Perfect balance between the stunning action, finishing up the New Caprica story-arc, and the truly heart-wrenching moments. The CGI was fan-****ing-tastic, and I think RDM says it best in the podcast: "This is just visual effects a go-go. We better win the ****ing emmy for this, I swear to God".

Can't wait to see the character repercussions of the New Caprica arc in coming episodes, soooo many people just plain ****ed up; Leoben getting in that last little mind**** on Kara, Baltar now with the Cylons, and Tigh... honestly, if you didn't shed a tear when Tigh killed Ellen, or at least when he walked off into the celebrating crowd; you're a cold, heartless bastard.

I won't be deleting this one off my DVR for quite awhile :D
I hear that. Hell, i've got everything from the mini right up to Exodus part 2 downloaded over the past year and a half, sitting on my HDD. :p

Holy crap, the kamikaze run of Pegasus took me somewhat by surprise there. I was expecting such a stunt back in the Resurrection Ship episode. But since it survived that, I somehow figured it would remain part of the fleet permanently. Very spectacular way to go out though.

Tigh poisoning (right?) his wife was gut-wrenching. While she behaved like an opportunistic *****, she was actually loyal, although not to the fleet or even the human race, but to her husband  ...no matter the consequences.

Now it's kinda back to square one. A battered up Galactica with even less human survivors all alone out there. Adama got rid of the moustache and Lee will probably end up as the CAG again. I'm really curious in which direction the story will evolve now.

And I fully agree with ZylonBane on the BTRL forums. As awesome as the project is, the forum is infested with people trying to use the word "frak" as many times as possible in one sentence. And the picture signatures are just plain creepy sometimes.[/rant]

Best people in BSG discussions are
1. people who apparently have something deeply personal against the new show and feel that it is their holy, honoured duty to tell that to anyone who happens to even catch a glimpse of RDM-BSG's ad. These people have the flame of eternal, irrefutable Truth in their souls and eyes.
2. Cally droolboys
3. THIS SHOW IS SO DEEP AND MAGICAL AND BEST TV EVER IT CHANGED THE WAY I SEE AND EXPERIENCE THE WORLD AND UNIVERSE IF ONLY EVERYONE ELSE WOULD LOVE IT LIFE WOULD BE FLOWERS AND RABBITS AND SUN AND STARSHIPS OH GOD EJACULATING EVERYWHERE DID I MENTION I LOVE BSG MORE THAN I LOVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS SPLOOGE HEY HERE'S A RANDOM SPOILER WATCH THE SHOW YOU FRAKKIN JERK

I disagree :p

In actual fact we only permit image sigs and the like to stop ZB from joining us.

Yay! The system works! :D

Did anyone think...

When Tigh poisoned Hellen, she knew what he was doing. Her deliberate "I need a drink" and her long stare into his eyes, coupled with his reaction, really made me think she knew of her fate.

I drool over the doctor chick in Prison Break... oh, no, scratch that - there hasn't been any drool yet. :p She is mighty cute though. ;)

Oh, and I haven't seen beyond the end of Season 1 (of Prison Break), so I don't know of her fate. Don't spoil anything for me.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
