I don't think Baltar ever bent the cylon over a desk or anything, so perhaps he didn't see the red spinal glow.Symmetry wrote:Urgh, Baltar.

Baltar: Oh, their spines glow bright red during sex, we done here?
How did nobody notice? Those people were going at it like rabbits.
And nobody else notices? Like rabbits, dude. All of them except for the guy who was in Quantum Leap.thegreekdog wrote:I don't think Baltar ever bent the cylon over a desk or anything, so perhaps he didn't see the red spinal glow.Symmetry wrote:Urgh, Baltar.

*doesn't understand a thing* good... go do that
Mmhm, scenes like that were a good demonstration of obfuscation through jargon. It's like Jonson's The Alchemist, but in the future with robots almost!waauw wrote:nevertheless baltar was hilariousSymmetry wrote:Urgh, Baltar.

troll alert!!! To your guards 
Never saw it; don't ever want to see it. Those writers wouldn't know what the original BSG series was even if they actually saw all of the scripts (which they did ... ironically enough).thegreekdog wrote:The reboot BSG was amazing and should be part of the conversation.

When Baltar says "I know that voice" in the original series the whole series made sense.

Yay! Although Crusade was kinda disappointing.Nobunaga wrote:Anybody else a fan of Babylon 5?
I love that storyline.
Just starting Season 2. I do like the storyline so far a great deal...but some of the actors seem a bit wooden to me.Nobunaga wrote:Anybody else a fan of Babylon 5?

It gets a little bit better, but not much in terms of acting. That was one of the show's main weaknesses. On the upside, the Narn and the Centauri get more of a role, and they're much more fun.Woodruff wrote:Just starting Season 2.

Yes, I got a little annoyed when I first realized that the meta plot was closed from day one, but I really think this was the most complex long term series in the entire history of TV.Nobunaga wrote:Anybody else a fan of Babylon 5?

You forget about Days of Our Lives.tzor wrote:Yes, I got a little annoyed when I first realized that the meta plot was closed from day one, but I really think this was the most complex long term series in the entire history of TV.Nobunaga wrote:Anybody else a fan of Babylon 5?

Days of Our Lives is an example of a well written medium term plot system that was so well written it could continue through a significant number of seasons. None of the writers were given plot lines for what would be happening two or three years down the line as was the case in Babylon V where the creator knew how the series would end when the series started. Soap Operas have to deal with significant changes to plot lines because of the movement of cast members; characters have to "die" on a moment's notice and either return from the dead or somehow have identical twins no one ever knew about should the cast member return to the series.Funkyterrance wrote:You forget about Days of Our Lives.

So in that sense it lies between Babylon V and a purely epsiodic series (like TOS Star Trek where you can literally see the epsiodes in a random order and not notice anything wrong).
You know, weirdly, I loved every episode and season. I think I've watched it three times.TA1LGUNN3R wrote:BSG was pretty good until the last season. The last season almost ruined the whole show for me.

I am with you, TGD. I've watched it through all the way once, and seen portions of other episodes with friends. But I've had a hankering to watch it all the way through again this summer.thegreekdog wrote:You know, weirdly, I loved every episode and season.

Also I had a huge hard-on for Starbuck (the female version).
