What the Kids are Watching: Battlestar Galactica

Last night was the absurdly anticipated premiere of Battlestar Galactica. Geeky or not, it’s won almost every critics’ award ever for the best show on TV, so perhaps you should take a look before you judge. I was skeptical once too, but after the four hour miniseries, I was hooked for life.


(two minutes till)
Brother Bannon: Man this has been a long time coming.
Fan Friend: I’m so excited, you have no idea
Addict Friend: I think I might wet myself.
BB: Welllll, that just seems a bit excessive.


(intro)

FF: What, that’s it? I need more than a thirty second recap. This show’s been off the air for a year. When was Lee president?
BB: All you have to know is that they found earth and it’s all super ****ed up.
AF: Do you think they’ll show the final Cylon tonight? I have $20 in a pool that says it’s Dee.
BB: $20? For a 1 in 40-ish chance, that’s not the best plan.
AF: No man it’s totally Dee, I know it. It has to be. She’s so quiet.
FF: We’ll see.


(Dee blows her head off)
AF: **** MOTHER ****ER
(BB and FF laugh hysterically)
BB: See, the safe bet would have been to wager on someone already dead, like Billy, Cally or Ellen Tigh.
FF: God if it’s Ellen Tigh I’m going to punch someone


(Starbuck finds her body in the cockpit)

AF: What the hell? So is she the final Cylon, was that the reveal?
FF: Uh, I don’t know. That was…weird
BB: You can’t even tell if it was her. She just has her ring.
FF: And her flight suit.
AF: And her blonde hair.
BB: This is highly suspect.


(Ellen revealed to by the final Cylon)
FF: AHHHHHH
AF: AHHHHHHHH
BB: AHHHHHHHHHH
FF: Alright, who’s getting punched in the fact?
BB: How about Ron Moore?
AF: I literally would have been more satisfied if it was any other person who has ever appeared on this shows. ****ing Hot Dog for all I care.
FF: I think a lot of people just lost money in your pool.


Yeah, so needless to say the majority of everyone I’ve talked to wasn’t too pleased with the revelation of Ellen as the final Cylon. Some were still claiming it was all a diversion, and it wasn’t really her, but interviews with Ron Moore have confirmed it.


Oh well, the show is still awesome as hell, and these last nine episodes sure have a lot of explaining to do.
