Like “The Body” from Season Five of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “Collaborators” is such a hard episode to watch. I can only torture myself with it once a year or so, and it’s probably the darkest the series every went. Basically, to recap, the Galactica rescues the humans stranded on New Caprica under Cylon occupation,…

And happy Tuesday to you all! I’m still recovering from my weekend of night shift, but I’m in good spirits for the most part. Today’s entry might be a bit short because I need to focus on my script and because I don’t want to give too much away about Day 30’s post, but let’s…

I’m just going to get this out of the way: Season Three is a depressing season. I can’t expect television shows to constantly deliver me happy feelings (well, unless it’s Parks and Recreation), but damn, this season is rough. From the Death Squad in “Collaborators” to Starbuck’s apparent death in “Maelstrom,” I had a hard…

The Plan wasn’t necessarily my favorite because I, for one, do enjoy a bit of ambiguity in my storytelling. Knowing exactly why Leoben was obsessed with Kara Thrace doesn’t make it any less disturbing, and how does being shown who Caprica-Six met after talking with Baltar in the miniseries make me despise Cavil more (hint:…

The friendship between Caprica-Eight/Athena and Admiral Adama is one of my more favorite ones on BSG. It starts out rocky, since Adama has yet to get over being shot by Boomer (fair), but ultimately, she becomes his mentor and confidante. He tells her things he could not possibly reveal to anyone else, even Roslin, and…

Of all the seasons, the first one is the most rewatchable. The desperation of complete extinction is offset with this underlying hope that doesn’t necessarily exist, at least not as overtly, throughout the rest of the series. Genuine joy in the various victories is common in the beginning, whereas similar moments occasionally punctuate loss and…

This was most definitely a tie. I went back and forth with both* of these for a while but decided that, you know what, I don’t have to choose. This is my blog and my challenge! So without further ado, here you are: my favorite two scenes from the miniseries.

Considering that Season Two is my favorite season, I feel a little bad that my least favorite episode is in it. “Black Market” is awful. Even Ron Moore admits that he dislikes this episode. Because it’s awful. It’s the most ridiculous the show ever got, and yes, I’m putting it above the final season’s shenanigans.…

Well, I’m at work today (I’m working three weekends of midnight shifts this month, yay) and realized two things: 1) I almost forgot to do this and 2) I didn’t have a similar post the last time I did this challenge. So this is fresh and shiny and new! Also, if any of this sounds…

One thing I really appreciate about Battlestar Galactica is that there are only four seasons. Sure, it went off the rails in Season Four with some incredibly poor creative decisions – Starbuck is a … ghost? And Head-Baltar and Head-Six are angels? – but there are so, so many shows that continue well past their…
