Finally, FINALLY finished watching BSG. My thoughts

22 Upvotes

So a brief history of the show. I think I’ve tried to watch this show three times. Once in the 2000s, and one other time in the 2010s. Both times I started with 33, and it felt like I was missing an episode, then was told to start from the mini series, and just never got to it.

Finally I gave it a solid try while on a long flight back in May. Same thing. Forgot about starting with the mini series, but finally did. I have to admit I didn’t immediately fall in love with it, but it was interesting enough to keep watching.

I can’t remember exactly which episodes, but there were some episodes where I felt it was a slog, and some that I was like “oh interesting! Let’s see where this goes”.

I can’t remember which episode it was, but there was one episode in season 2 where I just lost the motivation to watch for a while. Then maybe a month later, I decided to keep watching. I’d watch 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there.

For me though, once we got to the end of season 3, I was like “oh wow! Things are getting really interesting!” And I had to start fighting myself to get some sleep, etc.

The finale I felt was okay. I think I had the same problems most people had with it, including the latter half of season 4.

All in all though, now that it’s finished, I’ll definitely miss the characters of the world. I definitely want to do a re-watch minus some of the filler episodes sometime next year or so.

Fun little story about the beginning of the BSG reboot during a podcast I thought I’d share.

Not long, but a fun tidbit.

S2 e18 Tucker car

19 Upvotes

This episode takes place in parking garage.
One of the cars is a Tucker torpedo 48, if you ever saw the movie Tucker with Jeff Bridges.
Pretty neat choice to use a classic car for a futuristic movie.
The tucker was considered a futuristic car with 3 headlights.

These small quirky touches are really interesting.
Like we notice that the battlestar galactica isn’t a totally advanced ship although it has faster than light travel. Not like the starship Enterprise. Instead they still got phones and these large metal doors.

Michael Trucco is Awesome

37 Upvotes

I'm watching the new Carrie on Prime and Michael Trucco (Sam Anders) plays a jerk bad guy lawyer, but he is fantastic in the role. I also now realize that he played a jerk bad guy businessman in The Fall of the House of Usher, and he was even better in that role. I didn't recognize him at the time, because had been over 10 years since my last BSG rewatch. But I just finished a rewatch a few weeks ago and it is still fresh in my mind.

Carrie and House of Usher are both Mike Flanagan shows. He uses a lot of the same actors and actresses in his different shows. Apparently Michael Truco was also in Black Mass, but I don't remember him in that. Helo and Starbuck are also in Carrie. President Roslin is in House of Usher. I've got 2 episodes left to watch in Carrie, but I'm loving it so far. I also love House of Usher and I recommend both shows if you want to see Michael Trucco being awesome.
