Okay here's the deal, i love the original 70's series,, cheesy and full of kitsch as it was and i tried to get into the current modern series but couldn't. I saw what i thought was the pilot and a few episodes (Which couldv've been anywhere from season 1 - 3). And i just couldn't get past Starbuck, not because she was a woman, but being a drunk a bit of a bimbo and whiney.
Anywho, as well as everyone else on the Internet, my good friend also had become a BSG devotee, so he was tal;king about it alot as well. He showed me an episode of season four and said i could borrow his series 1 - 3 box set if I wanted. I decided to try again. What i thought was a pilot was the first episode from the series "33" not the 3 hour mini series pilot and i was told by said friend the drinking was a phase of Starbuck for a while.
After the proper pilot and four or five episodes of season one, I loved it! I thought the pilot was f***ing UBER! I thought it was a great set-up to introduce Baltar the way they did, and I love Adama, he kicks ass and takes no shit. I really do like Starbuck though, It's very unfortunate that the only new BSG i had seen was and episode the few episodes I did see, where during Starbuck's "rough time", otherwise i could've liked it alot lot earlier. A stand out episode of season one so far, which came into two parts, was Act Of Contrition ond the following You Can't Go Home. I love Tigh and 'relationship, everytime he makes a dig, she comes right back at him and vice versa.
The series is so angsty! So yeah i've become a bit of a fanboy and havbing marathon's of BSG at the moment because i get so into it and there are episodes where it ends and i'm like "No! You can't leave it there!", so I have to watch the next one! I'm stioll in season one at the moment but I dion't think it'll be long b efore I'm into season 2. I heartd season 3 was a bit shaky though? Oh and I've also been let Razor for the start of season #3.
