Thoughts on Battlestar Galactica

Mar 30, 2010 13:10

So I've been watching Season 1 of Battlestar Galactica (just finished episode 9 Tigh Me Up Tigh Me Down--don't spoiler me past this point please!) and I think I've invented a more efficient Cylon detector ( BSG Thoughts )

So simple and you know Gaius would be game. Sex in the name of science!

Sex saves the world!

The red spine thing seemed to disappear - I guess they realized how stupid it was.

I'm going to be curious what you think as the show progresses.

Haha, I didn't think it was that stupid. It seemed kinda nifty in a alien sort of way.

So far, I'm loving Starbuck and Commander Adama. And I think it's hilarious how Gaius is a 'mad scientist' who gets away with having sex visions with Six while people are in the same room with him all because they think he's just a crazy genius. :D

Stupid in the sense that one of the ongoing plot points is no one knows who is a Cylon and who isn't. If it's a matter of life and death and they actually glow when aroused, well, you make you're business to find out who glows.

(And seriously - how often has Baltar had sex with six? And he never noticed? That just seems kind of far fetched.)

I also love Adama and Starbuck. And I suspect you're going to love Roslin also.

Gaius having conversations with the air and no one calling him out on it was pretty funny.

I know! I kept thinking if this was consistent among the cylons, how did they not figure out that characters V, W, X, Y, and Z were also Cylons, because sex wasn't uncommon. :)

ROFL! You win.

Although... it's been a while since I watched the first season, but I don't think they know about the glowy spines, so they'd never come up with that themselves.

Well clearly, Gaius has to stumble upon an old sex tape of him getting it on with Six and he'll see it and BAM. Problem solved.

slaymesoftly March 30 2010, 17:46:33 UTC

LOL Now why didn't they think of that?

angearia March 30 2010, 19:40:03 UTC

Hee!

GAIUS! *loves*

This is a brilliant plan! Because! Little Gaius is the most important character on the show! Everything that happens can be traced back to "him"!

I'll be really interested to hear your reactions as you go through!

angearia March 30 2010, 19:41:11 UTC

Hahaha Little Gaius! I loved the end of this episode where everyone's in the lab chatting and Gaius is busy dreaming of having sex with Six in his mind and no one even notices! WHY? Hahahaha.

penny_lane_42 March 30 2010, 19:43:20 UTC

Seriously, Gaius is the only thing that keeps that show from being one nonstop grim-fest. He always infuses a little irreverence into a scene, and it's much needed on such a show.

Okay, so I had to ask--have you started or been thinking about your Art-to-Fic challenge? Like, I'd totally forgotten about it! Then I remembered signing up for that banner and woe! Too many writing challenges!

BUT. I have an idea for an AU that would actually be a memory wipe where Buffy and Spike meet up again and keep having weird flashes and somehow remember their past time together in Sunnydale before destroying the Hellmouth.
