kumquatq3 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Is it me or has this show really fallen off since the season premiere? That and it's starting to get a bit too comically dramatic. The whole fleet/Galactic/main character doesn't have to be in danger every week.
Tale Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 This season is just too back to the way it was. The end of season 2 showed dramatic changes and they've almost all been completely reversed. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
astr0creep Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 They're also focusing too much on the same characters. The first two seasons everything was a team effort and we could see everyone evolving. In almost every episode there was time for all the characters to develop a bit. These days it's Starbuck this and Starbuck that. I like Starbuck but I like the ensemble better. Still, season 3 had some very good moments so far. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Hell Kitty Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I know my mate in Australia bought "2.0" and it didn't have the lat two episodes! He was either missing a DVD or had a pirated version, because the Australian "2.0" DVD set has all season 2 episodes on 5 discs (plus a sixth DVD of deleted scenes).
metadigital Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 He doesn't buy pirated stuff and it wasn't mising a DVD. I think he said it was a "2.0", but it had all but those last two episodes, which apparently come with "2.5". I thought it was strange, because I have only one DVD title to choose from here in the UK. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

The region 4 DVD set definitely has all the episodes (including the extended Pegasus episode). The episode where Baltar wakes up at his desk, one year later , is the last episode, right?

aVENGER Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Love the show, but a few little details kind of irk me. For example, I wonder if we're ever going to get a full explanation behind Baltar's "Inner Six" and Caprica Six's "Inner Baltar". The whole "I'm an Angel sent by God to help you." thing is getting kind of lame. <_< Speaking of which, why doesn't Caprica Six experience more of her own Baltar hallucinations/visions/whatever? From what was shown in "Downloaded" I was under the impression that pseudo-Baltar was subtly manipulating her into helping the humans i.e. the opposite of what Baltar's Inner Six is doing to him, yet we never saw her halucinate again after that episode.

I thought it was strange, because I have only one DVD title to choose from here in the UK. US release of 2.0 on DVD came out before 2.5 even aired. The series was aired in two seperate parts, so they released the DVDs as soon as they could (at double the price compared to what you brits had to pay) "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
metadigital Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Ah, that might explain it: I think he buys his videos from Amazon.com, so he probaly didn't realise the US demarcation. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
astr0creep Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 Only 8 hours and thirty minutes left. (w00t) http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
astr0creep Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Strange episode that was. Pacing was all over the place, they could've made an entire episode from the pre-credits. Why did Cavil suddenly agree to pull out the troops when he was so eager to kill all humans not one episode before. Also, I just want to say that I'm never going to the official BSG forums again as this episode was completely spoiled from speculations in those threads. It ruined it for me. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
roshan Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Hmmm... Who was it that the woman saw and appologized to? Which of the humans has she wronged previously?
Tale Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Hmmm... Who was it that the woman saw and appologized to? Which of the humans has she wronged previously? Anders? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
roshan Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 When did that happen? I thought it must have been Starbuck .
Rosbjerg Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Wow that was a really good episode... Dialouge was great - a real epic feel to it! seemed like the beginning of whole new story arc/branch in BSG.. the backtracking to Starbucks paintings were pretty cool - since it starts the speculations of her being a Cylon again.. and I can't really remember who Nr 3 (D'Anna Biers) wronged - well all humans in fact - but in particular.. I have to dig up my DVD collection to watch the episodes with her again to see).. And now the Fleet has Balthar again! that's gonna be interesting.. Fortune favors the bald.
Tale Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 When did that happen? I thought it must have been Starbuck . She tried to kill Anders back on Caprica after he blew up the cafe "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

astr0creep Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 " She also tortured Bulldog for a looong time ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and Batlhar.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, Baltar is not a Cylon. The point of the character is that he is so unbelievably human. Some evidence seem to suggest this though. Like Six having visions of him or how he survived his home razed by a nuclear blast. I think it's all smoke screens to keep us speculating and watching the show. Nothing more. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/

roshan Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yes, the only resolution to the Balthar-cylon thingy is him figuring out that he is just a normal human. Wasnt number 3 on the Galactica as a reporter in Season 1? Maybe it was someone that she wronged then, not back in the planet?

There's a flashback episode coming, an Adama-centric episode where we meet his ex-wife and young Zack & Lee. There is also a Kara-centric flashback episode in which we meet her abusive mother. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
roshan Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Flashback episodes? I hope this show doesnt turn into Lost, because Lost is turning into crap. I suppose they need to delay the finding of Earth for as long as they can. Edited January 25, 2007 by roshan
