that is so incredibly bad. Was it really supposed to be just caffeine?! (I suppose in those days the censors wouldn't have allowed anything harder.)

Is this really true? I don't think I've ever heard that before. If so, I commend her for doing such a good job with the role, especially considering the material.

the edgiest non college years episode of saved by the bell i can recall is the one that dealt with drunk driving where zach and slater are wearing togas and crashed into a telephone poll while driving lisa home.

they also had an episode that had a say no to drugs motivational speaker on campus and they found a roach in the bathroom so the gang has to solve the mystery of who is smoking weed at bayside. initially they blame the leather clad punk guy who smoked cigarettes in the bathroom, but he said "I might be dumb but I'm not that dumb," and it turned out it was the say no to drugs guy. luckily mr. baldar saves the day.

Yeah, it was originally scripted as speed but they were told they couldn't do that in a children's show, so they compromised on caffeine pills.

BSG Guess what's coming to dinner: Dammit Saul, it's my job to point out plotholes in this show, not you. There really isn't a good explanation why the cylons never called off attacks on the fleet before season 4 is there? I mean, if all it took was for Anders to make eye contact with a raider for them to be recognized, how the hell could a centurion or something not identify saul during his months of imprisonment on New Caprica?


Sine Qua None: Romo Lampkin might be the most ridiculously overwritten character in the entire show, but drat if the actor doesn't sell his psychobabble.

I kind of assumed it was tied to Deanna’s religious awakening. Maybe the centurions weren’t aware of the final 5’s identities until she was.

The real answer is, of course, that the writers hadn’t even thought of the five until that season.

BSG: The Hub.

Once again, the people running this show have no idea how time works. According to this episode, the events of the previous episode took place over two days. But that can't be right because Lampkin's cat had been dead for weeks, despite it showing up earlier in the previous episode.

This is a minor mistake, but so many of these minor mistakes are piling up that it is clear they have no idea what they're doing anymore.

EDIT: Lol, they actually played a scare chord when D'Anna told Roslin she was a Cylon.

33 sets the tone for the series perfectly, it's a great first episode for the show. The miniseries caps off with everyone feeling hopeful and optimistic about setting forth into uncharted space. 33 starts with everyone haggard and exhausted because things are rapidly going to hell and the Colonial Fleet cannot catch a loving break.

So I'm onto Revelations. My opinion of BSG is as follows: it started off as late seasons DS9, and ended as late seasons Voyager. There was a slight parabolic incline before falling off the chart entirely.

Yeah the arc of the whole show is: Late seasons DS9, late season Voyager, late season LOST. It's a very sad and bad fall.

Nah, BSG is consistently good through season 3.5, then a very slight decline to finish the season, a small dip during the episodes where Starbuck is looking for Earth, then back up to season 3 quality to finish the show.

That's pretty much how I felt, and it seemed even worse because the first season started off so strong, then devolved into the writers scrambling to fill in 50 minutes with no clue where they are going with any of it. I don't know a single person who cared about "omg who is the secret cylon" and just wanted the show to go back to humanity trying to survive instead of everyone turning into an unwatchable basket case and the cylons not having a clue.

There's definitely a drop in quality once they get off of New Caprica, and do the new Starbuck and final 5 nonsense, but I really enjoyed the mutiny arc, and even the finale up until the last 5 min or so. Also the revelation about Earth 1.0 and the way the fleet just falls apart for awhile after that.
