They were both nominated for best makeup. The Visitor should have won, in some scenes he didn't even look like Cirroc Lofton

Iron Crowned posted:Devil in the Dark is a really good episode. I kinda wish Star Trek as a whole had leaned more into alien biology being actually alien like they did with that episode. They tried when they could, and early TNG was really good about giving you different aliens with implied bizarre biology like the Farpoint aliens (large enough that there are corridors you can walk through), Bynars (aliens that pair up and turned themselves into cyborgs), the Crystalline Entity (large crystal that devours living things to survive), Energy Cloud entity (energy that can get sucked into a person), the Homesoil Silicon crystal entities ("microbrain" creature that can interface with the computer), Conspiracy's parasites (aliens that latch onto the host). That was before the TOS writers were driven off by Gene's self-destruction, his lovely lawyer, and Rick Berman.

I have deliberately not sought out and watched all of these because every time one of you links a relevant one that I have not seen (happens pretty often) it is such a delight. E: Hearing o'brien say gently caress you genuinely caught me off guard and yet it was not out of place at all. Amazing. Hipster_Doofus fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jul 3, 2019 |

Back onto BSG and Scar is still one of my favourite episodes. EDIT: Lol and I forgot they immediately followed it up with the "Billy's actor wanted off the show so they just loving murdered him" episode. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Jul 3, 2019 |

IIRC someone floated the idea that the Augments banded together and brutally conquered the world because they spent their lives being told they were perfect supermen and having the traits to back it up, and it gave them all hella complexes as a result.

So I finished The Captain's Hand and then went right into BSG: Razor. This is only the second time I've actually watched the film, and really the only time I've watched the film. The first time I sought it out because I was still hesitant on the rebooted series and I wanted to see the oldschool cylons, and as a result I had no idea what the gently caress was going on for the entirety of the runtime. On my second watch, it's not that great. It is pretty much an extended two part episode but it is so bogged down in references, fan service and interludes that go nowhere that it is pretty much impenetrable to someone who hasn't already watched the series all the way through. Also way too many goddamn flashbacks, to the point where Cain got her own flashback in the middle of Shaw's flashback(ception). Razor simultaneously wants to be a late season 2 two-parter, a prequel and an origin story for a Very Special Character who isn't all that interesting. I don't much care for Shaw as a character, nor do I think the movie does a good job of trying to make Cain sympathetic. If they had kept with Cain's descent into darkness the flashbacks could have been condensed into one episode's runtime and made a dark parallel to Galactica's journey, with Pegasus showing how much worse things could have gone if Adama wasn't the man he was and who he had counseling him. It was also really bad at setting up action or tension, something the main TV show does exceptionally well, even in bad episodes. I attribute this to all the jumping around with flashbacks, because there is no buildup to any action scene, just "boop", now things are exploding. Shaw reports aboard Pegasus and now it's exploding. Adama has a flashback to when he first learned to smash toaster heads with appliances, explosions, whoops now we're attacking the Bentusi Harbour ship to stop Campbell Lane from skinning people like a Viidian and selling ion weaponry to the Kushan and Higaarans, better throw in some more cylons and have them beep out by your command because I know what that is. On their own, each of these plot threads could form a decent enough story, but when they're mashed together with wonky transitions, too many flashbacks and CGI that is not being done any favours by HD screens, the whole package comes across as a mess. I don't care about Shaw, but I do care about Adama, Lee and Starbuck, and they're playing supporting roles in a movie with a bland lead and no major B plot to latch onto. Baltar's whole scene was a waste of time so that they could throw more Head Six in there to offset the horror of post-rape Gina Six and it is so blatantly forced fan service I just groaned. Just make a prequel episode set in the First Cylon War for your spinoff. Make a flashback episode about Cain. Make a Star Trek 50th Anniversary special like Trials and Tribble-ations where the Galactica battles classic Raiders and Baseships. Just don't mangle them all together like Razor did and end up with each plot fighting for runtime.
