Location: Grootfontein, Namibia		I never had the privilege to watch the complete BSG series (reimagined). So, if I fall behind in the GMRC or fail to comment on the blog, well, BSG is utterly absorbing

See you on the fragging other side

At least, that's the plan - I've tried to watch older episodes before and could barely sit through them.

Location: Earth		Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck and Mary McDonnell added real substance to the characterizations of the series. It was at times quite heartbreaking to see them make the choices they did, particularly in season 3. I made it all so much more real. I hope you survive the twists and turns, and shocking revelations.

Just have to say, BSG is the best thing that ever aired on television. IMHO, the characters, plot, scope, story line, science and technology were nearly perfect! It is the only TV show I own the entire series of including that webisode. The ending, yea it was a but of a deflation, but it went perfectly with Ron Moore's favorite theme - "All of this has happened before and it will all happen again".

Location: Grootfontein, Namibia		@Scary_Girl - despite the deflated ending, it is still one of the best series I've seen. I also have the whole collection, including the webisode. I'm a huge fan. Along with "Firefly" and "Space: Above and Beyond" and "Farscape" BSG is equally phenomenal. I even enjoyed "Caprica" for what it was.

"All of this has happened before and will all happen again"

Concluding like that, a lot more makes sense. My biggest gripe, though, is the re-appearance and disappearance of Starbuck. It just doesn't fit all that well. Was she supposed to be a Christ-like figure? That's all that makes sense to me, considering that she does actually "save" the humans. The show always had strong spiritual overtures, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I might have invested to much in the Starbuck's character

@Emil, Her disappearance was like being rubbed by sandpaper and then her reappearance was like being massaged with baby goose feathers.... Logically, it made no sense but just made for great entertainment. Yea, I had a serious girl crush on Starbuck. Christ-like...huh, I never made that connection, but you do have a point there.

I watched a few episodes of Caprica...but besides meeting the original Cylon, it didn't hold much water for me.

Nice signature quote by the way
