Battlestar Galactica's Final Season debut in 2 minutes... I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOKED

chabber · Post #42 » by **chabber** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 3:53 am

I watched the last 10 episodes again on Wednesday. (I've been extremely sick since Tues. with nothing to do.)

I'm gonna start it in a few minutes whenever my friend gets off Call of Duty then after it's done I'll come back to the Orl vs LA game.

I hope this season goes out with a bang. It's been such a great series.

After watching this sode, I think I should've rewatched the last 10 again as well. INTENSE! Kinda confused about the 5th, I imagine that's intentional though.

Any other UFC fans in the hizzle?

BSG is always intense but damn your right. Last nights episode was crazy and that is why I love it. I expected morale to be low but jeez. So much tragedy. I wonder if it will actually end on a high note?

My roomy is a huge fan. I just watch casually. He's out watching the fights right now. I'd have probably went with him tonight too but the sickness has overwhelmed me.

I find it interesting and don't mind it when I'm watching, but I don't have any idea how to follow it as far as making the fights meaningful (I don't think I've ever seen the same guy fight twice--I'm not even sure if I've seen the same LEAGUE twice)

I'm confused on the Ellen and Starbuck developments. If Ellen is really part of the ff, is the starbuck thing just because of what happened to Thrace on New Caprica? Trying to be as vague as possible. also: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=871711 in case you're interested

Yeah, he's at the bar watching the PPV. I asked who was fighting but I have no idea who they are. Being that I don't watch very often I have the same problem as Walt identifying brawlers each month. I try not to miss any Silva fights though. That guys is crazy.

Because they are sanctioned fights guys can only fight a certain amount of times each year, but there are about 15-20 "main" guys to follow in different weight classes.

I've only been into it since I arrived in Canada and my interest started by watching the reality show (I am ashamedly a reality TV junkie) but now I'm all about it. Never liked boxing (other than my own personal training I used for cardio) and have never seen a single boxing match from start to finish, but I really dig me some UFC.

Thinking mans fighting.

Your roommate probably LOVED the last PPV (Dec 27th). The line up was SICK and the one coming up on Jan 31st is going to be awesome too.

When he gets home tonight tell him GSP is going to kick the Prodigal sons arse and he'll think you have been doing your home work!!

Sweet, knowledge dropped and recieved. I just hope he doesn't ask me what GSP stands for.

If the Sols wife thing is for real though then I'm thinking they just wanted to get on with it and get that question out of the way. No use in having the last one be some kind of saboteur since there seems to be some sort of an alliance for now. She fits the profile too though since she hasn't been around when 3 was seeking out the 5. There are bigger questions out there right now than that one for sure, like the one you asked about Starbuck. Could it be that it's the egg thing or maybe there is a 13th? Plus what is the power that has been driving her towards this destiny she's had? She's obviously had help from somewhere. Of course there is the ever so intriguing question about how this cycle got started and it just got even more juice after the revealing about the 13th colony.

You know what I thought was cool though. It wasn't anything huge or anything but Baltar looked like he was right back at home in his research lab and no one really gave a **** because they all have one goal right now. He's my favorite character btw.

I saw Brock win the belt. I think that was the last one I caught.

Sweet avy!

I didn't notice Gaius. Well, I'm sure I did, but I don't remember it. Kinda overwhelmed by all that happened, so I'll definitely be rewatching before Friday.

I get why they'd want to get the Ellen thing out of the way, tbh I thought it'd be in episode 10 (or, 12 technically b/c of razor, but you probably knew what I meant). I must say, it was a definite WTF!? moment as opposed to the Starbuck development, which I was thinking was related to the ff at the time. Ellen was shocking, when I thought it was Thrace I had a feeling of resolution, so in a way bringing Ellen back into the fold will recomplicate things. I should note, I acknowledged before the episode that I probably wouldn't be satisfied with the revelation of the ff no matter who it was--I've put too much thought in to it for too long at this point.

All of 'em!! I am a total sucker for them, especially if there is singing involved.
