going into this almost entirely blind besides the fact that I know the general concept of the cylons, which is revealed almost right away anyway. So should be FUN!

the early 00s SURE SHINES THROUGH with this show (: The shoddy special effects aren't a big deal to me though. The acting...ehh! Hope that gets better as the show goes on, although I guess the Asian girl is the only one that stuck out to me as being especially rough (p sure that actress ended up joining the NXIVM cult irl later on, hmmm!)
anyway the setup is p good so far, I liked the concept of BSG being in the process of turning into a museum since it'd been so long since cylons were an actual threat
Best scenes were with the blonde cylon, the opening and the bombing scene. Got a lil bit of MELANCHOLIA vibes during the latter actually (although I wish they would've sold the weightiness of it a bit more like that movie did). More of that kinda stuff, less space battles plz. I have a feeling that'll be the case from the little I know tho |

think it's just prequel mini-series / main series that matter? | |

the interesting ideas are mostly getting me through the cheesier bits of the show. There's def some good stuff in there though. I liked the new bit of world-building in this one with the MYTHICAL EARTH foretold by the sacred scrolls, that's p fun
The cylon reveal at the end was NEAT. Guess that guy rly was a baddie after all...HUH! Wish the reveal of the 'new' cylon was...any other character/actor but o well (: Still got 8 more to be revealed so plenty more possibilities
line of the ep:
"We...need to start making babies."
"...that an order?"
ONTO THE MAIN SERIES! Guessing it's all gonna have a similar feel but here's hoping it delves deeper into the philosophical/psychological implications of the world-ending situation they're in |

hey this one was p fun
again I felt like the weight behind the decision to kill thousands could've been handled better but o well
#6 continues to carry the show |

hey I really HATE those preview intros! I don't want any part of them! I tend to stay away from teasers in GENERAL but especially when I'm literally about to start watching the thing. I've already begun to avert my eyes when it starts playing
I'm...curious what Boomer's plan is here. The way she was acting at the end it seemed like everything was going according to plan? But it rly seemed like she was fighting against her programming when the H2O thing happened? Bit confused but guessing we'll see
Boomer2's plan should be interesting as well, curious what kinda trap she's leading her pal into |

the commander getting drunk in the first half was the best part
his line to the little kid (heavily paraphrasing)
"Shouldn't you be with your mom?"
"...she's dead sir."
made me crack up
and yeah Callie sucks. Slightly better actress but worse character than Boomer
The radical guy was a little ehh, could've been better with a diff actor but without having even known he was in the original beforehand I could tell he was more equipped to play an Apollo type. Didn't have the needed EDGE to him
I like the Caprica scenes too, if only to get away from the dreary, monotonous lighting of all the ship scenes. It's v refreshing |
