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

I tend to stay clear of fandoms of shows I like because, yeah, they can be pretty toxic. People get offended about the weirdest stuff; I don’t like bacon, and I swear, I might as well have said I murdered puppies for fun. Basically, what I’m saying is I had to go look this shit

Cylons are fascinating. They are just as varied as their human creators, both as standalone models and individuals, with their own motivations and personal drives. None can be called truly good or evil, although certain models do have a tendency to lean amoral (looking at you, Cavil), and I delight in watching them interact with

Although I’m running the risk of starting with something that seems like a non sequitur, I loved Due South as a kid. It was such a wholesome show, and to this day, it holds a special place in my heart. Given that statement, a big reason as to who my favorite Cylon happens to be

My loathing of Lee “Apollo” Adama* is well-known by anyone who talks Battlestar Galactica with me, and I do not apologize for it. He’s one of the most self-righteous, oblivious, childish, back-stabbing characters of the entire series. He spends most of his time trying to figure out a way to not be his dad, which,

When most people hear that Kara “Starbuck” Thrace is my favorite BSG character, they aren’t surprised. I see so much of myself in her that it’s difficult to truly feel any anger at her when she does something that isn’t exactly constructive, and that empathy I have for her has only deepened as I have
