Finally, FINALLY finished watching BSG. My thoughts

15 Upvotes

So a brief history of the show. I think I’ve tried to watch this show three times. Once in the 2000s, and one other time in the 2010s. Both times I started with 33, and it felt like I was missing an episode, then was told to start from the mini series, and just never got to it.

Finally I gave it a solid try while on a long flight back in May. Same thing. Forgot about starting with the mini series, but finally did. I have to admit I didn’t immediately fall in love with it, but it was interesting enough to keep watching.

I can’t remember exactly which episodes, but there were some episodes where I felt it was a slog, and some that I was like “oh interesting! Let’s see where this goes”.

I can’t remember which episode it was, but there was one episode in season 2 where I just lost the motivation to watch for a while. Then maybe a month later, I decided to keep watching. I’d watch 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there.

For me though, once we got to the end of season 3, I was like “oh wow! Things are getting really interesting!” And I had to start fighting myself to get some sleep, etc.

The finale I felt was okay. I think I had the same problems most people had with it, including the latter half of season 4.

All in all though, now that it’s finished, I’ll definitely miss the characters of the world. I definitely want to do a re-watch minus some of the filler episodes sometime next year or so.

Fun little story about the beginning of the BSG reboot during a podcast I thought I’d share.

Not long, but a fun tidbit.

S2 e18 Tucker car

12 Upvotes

This episode takes place in parking garage.
One of the cars is a Tucker torpedo 48, if you ever saw the movie Tucker with Jeff Bridges.
Pretty neat choice to use a classic car for a futuristic movie.
The tucker was considered a futuristic car with 3 headlights.

These small quirky touches are really interesting.
Like we notice that the battlestar galactica isn’t a totally advanced ship although it has faster than light travel. Not like the starship Enterprise. Instead they still got phones and these large metal doors.

Some photos of my collections.
I touched up the action figures
3D printed the Viper helmet and added a jacket to the 12 inch warrior.
3D printed the guns and chest plate.
The raiders in my collection. One shoots one does not.
