Android Apocalypse posted:Dune talk reminds me that I need to visit Florence, Oregon. Hell yeah buddy, used to go up there every summer in high school. My aunt had a ranch about 2 miles out of town on the mouth of the delta. Loved that place. She converted the house from an old barn about 20 feet from the river. No neighbors either, closest other properties are owned by logging companies.  That gray line was her driveway, all virgin land around it

Yeah, it's pretty depressing for me because at one point I was seriously considering making a move to NC, but then the last decade happened and welp. A friend's trans sibling fled NC to move up north a few months ago just because of where things are going

 Absolute Chad energy  The SA thread on these books make it seem like you can skip a bunch based on which author is writing it. Admire your dedication to plowing through all of them. I think the white scars books are the most goon-consensus acclaimed?

People didn't like the "God did it" thing despite that being the theme of the show right from the pilot miniseries. Oh, and the ending montage with all the robots was terrible, but I always just turn it off as it fades from Adama talking about the cabin with an easterly view.

That Buldak fried rice is right on that line of almost too spicy to enjoy. One bite and it was fine until about halfway through, then it hit like a mofo.

Timby posted:People didn't like the "God did it" thing despite that being the theme of the show right from the pilot miniseries. That’s a little oversimplified. The 2nd half of season four was kind of pointless. And it followed “Revelations” which was a better show ending than the actual ending. Hell, they could have ended the show after “Sometimes a Great Notion” and it would have worked. The creators wrote themselves into a corner because because no one realized how successful the show was gonna be, the writers had a bunch of religious weirdos, and practically they needed a lot cheap filler in the first season. Like a third of every episode is gaius walking in slow motion through a Vancouver library they’re calling an opera house. Then in the last season the opera house was the friends we made along the way. Then in season four they also had all that bullshit with watching little miniseries and they were getting ready for Caprica and who could forget that show. then the nonsense with Starbuck dying, returning, vanishing. That stupid poo poo with all along the watchtower. Thwt loving episode where adama is painting the ship. Every scene in that loving bar. That apparently the survivors interbred with the early humans. Sending poor Anders to die in the sun etc At the end of the day BSG was so good for so long that it was never going to satisfy everyone. It’s very rare that a show pulls off a final episode like six feet under. Or has the balls to just stop like Deadwood. Atleast it wasn’t as bad as whatever Lost did. Or turning your main character into Mega Hitler in the second to last episode. In conclusion BSG was incredible, racetrack did nothing wrong, and the best scene was when gaius looked at Six and said “you know what I miss most? You’re going to laugh at this. Sports.” FizFashizzle fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Mar 6, 2024 |

I have skipped like 15 of them. Yeah some authors are certainly better than others, but unfortunately some of the most pivotal books are written by the more average authors. The 2 White Scars novels are among my favorite, along with the incredible arc of The First Heretic -> Know no Fear -> Betrayer. 3 of the best books I have ever read in my life, back to back to back.

By the way, if anyone is looking for a good bad movie, be sure to check out The Beekeeper. Jason Statham does his usual schtick, but you will have fun groaning at all the bee puns, and you will just laugh your rear end off at all the plot holes and stupid things that happen. All three of my kids watched it with us and everyone was getting into the MST3K spirit.

Of course that episode also featured the Pegasus getting destroyed, and to this day I think the show should have kept the Pegasus and let the Galactica be the one that went down fighting the three Basestars or however many there were.

Black Market is probably the lowest low in the whole show with how bad it is and yeah that New Caprica jump into orbit dropping fighters as the music crescendos is the most epic sci fi scene of all time. I love the Expanse but the sleek Roci hass got nothing on that ol' battered bastard Galactica. Sci fi ship top 3 ranking: Galactica >>>> Roci > Enterprise

Black Market is the Star Trekkiest episode of BSG. Random rear end plot that has no consequences and will never come up again. But yeah BSG is my top sci-fi show. Followed by DS9 and then probably a tie between TNG and Voyager
