By your command.

Hmm. After last night's ep, I think I may finally be seeing the BSG light.



  • This was by far the most interesting episode to me yet. After last night, it was like I was finally starting to see what people are going on about. The episodes before? Not so much. So much Starbuck angst. Of course, I want to see the next part NOW.

  • The Helo subplot both fascinates and bores me. On the one hand it's like watching a rat in a maze - one that's controlled by some sadistic scientist. On the other hand, I find those parts really boring. You know he'll never get off the planet, and if he does, the fleet is long gone. (And if he manages to catch up with the fleet, I'll be disappointed because *the fleet is long gone*.)

  • I still don't get Apollo's character. (No, I can't remember anyone's real names yet.) I get everyone else but not him. I need something more than just "good guy."

  • I am afeard of all the Adama/Starbuck fic that will be out there because EW.

  • I STILL WANT THE METALLIC CYLON VOICE, DAMMIT.

*shudder* The only Adama that should be with Starbuck is Lee. ;)

Oy! See, I don't know anyone's names! What's the commander's first name?

[identity profile] pixiesio.livejournal.com 2005-01-29 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Bill. But most refer to him as Adama. Lee is Apollo.

Bill? Ha! He doesn't look like a 'Bill.' :D

Lee "Apollo" Adama
Kara "Starbuck" Thrace
Sharon "Boomer" Valeri
Chief Tyrol
Karl "Helo" Agathon
Six (the cylon)
Gaius Baltar
Laura Roslin (The President)
Commander William Adama (CO BSG)
Colonel Paul Tigh (XO BSG)

They are the main characters I think. Laura Roslin's assistant is Billy something. There's the bridge officer Lt. something-or-other. I just can't remember right now - and I've seen all 13 episodes!

My problem is I vaguely remember watching the original and so to me everyone is "the Starbuck one" or "the Boomer one" or "the Daggit one" in my mind yet. :D

It was called "Act of Contrition". No idea why they don't put the episode names at the beginning.

The Helo subplot both fascinates and bores me.

I know what you mean, but there is a point to it. Eventually. ;)

I need something more than just "good guy."

He gets there. Give him time.

because EW

Father/Son incest fic?? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

I STILL WANT THE METALLIC CYLON VOICE, DAMMIT.

But Trisha Helfer (Six) is so much better to look at. ;)

Nononono. The father and Starbuck! Not the father and Apollo! EW EW EW!

Bet she could whip out the metallic cylon voice if she wanted to.

Hee, the second part is even better than the first if you ask me. Starbuck eps are the best ones around. The two episode after this are a bit slow going and then there are some more kick ass ones.

Apollo's character is the one I get the least too. Sometimes he's just the good guy, sometimes he's a complete ass. (And yes Lee/Kara is completely emotional incest that right now squicks me.)

The Helo storyline will get interesting. He pretty much is a rat in a maze but just wait as it *is* going somewhere.

*twitches* I want to watch the second part NOW.

I think I need to see some more character development with Apollo. And HA! to the Lee/Kara. :D I'm *so* not looking for pairings with this show.

Okay, I'll believe you. *twiddles thumbs*

I think the episode with the most development is "Hand of God". It showed a side of Apollo that we hadn't seen before and that I really liked. (Won't tell you what.) However, I wanted to kick his ass in the season finale.

Oh, and dude, if Lee/Kara is emotional incest, let's not even go anywhere near Adama/Kara. I'm not really out for shipping in this show either, I just made my own slash pairing ;oP Actually if I have to ship anyone, it might be Adama/Roslin *g*

*pats you*

Little Red wrote an Adama/Roslin fic I really liked but I doubt I'll go looking for pairings with this show.

As the saying goes... They already have a son together. ;)

But Lee has a crush on Roslin...

[identity profile] tv-elf.livejournal.com 2005-01-29 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Watch the dynamic when Lee, Adama, and Roslin are in the same room together. It is so much the kid and two parents.

Plus, in the last ep, the perfect scene in Bastille Day... "He is *your* son."

Dude. They're going to all end up related in some way, aren't they? Later we'll find out that Boxey is Starbuck's long lost kid... :D

I'm not going to hint at spoilers because that's just mean. But I will say that I trust TPTB on this show more than I think I've *ever* trusted any PTB. They have a clear reason for (pretty much) everything, and they don't do red herrings. Everything you want to know more about, and everything you hope they'll come back to? You will, and they will.

YUM.

Adama/Starbuck is DISGUSTING, btw. So is Roslin/Apollo. EW.

After last night's ep, I think I may finally be seeing the BSG light.

I've been crazy about the show from the start, but as I commented to someone else, I love the show even more after last night's ep. I love to get emotionally into an ep when I'm watching, and my god was I emotional last night. This show rocks my world. Glad to have more company!

I still don't get Apollo's character.

You're not alone. I think it may be intentional ... kinda keeping the audience off balance just like Adama, since I don't think Adama has quite figured out his son yet.

I am afeard of all the Adama/Starbuck fic that will be out there because EW.

Arg, yes. Just. No. But some will write it. Eck.

I hadn't been at the crazy level before. I enjoyed it but it wasn't rocking my socks. Last night was the first time I felt like I actually cared about some of the characters.

You're not alone. I think it may be intentional ... kinda keeping the audience off balance just like Adama, since I don't think Adama has quite figured out his son yet.

I briefly wondered if his two-dimensionality was intentional on the part of the PTB for reasons like that, but decided that either way, I was still irked by it.

Arg, yes. Just. No. But some will write it. Eck.

:D
