Good loopholing. Let's do this!

heh :)

Are you sure it's a valid loophole? Could you, uh, just get off your seat for a second, to... er.. better investigate this matter?

Sure, but I've had my PM so the seat is now DNA locked (it takes a small blood sample using a retractable needle when I sit on it - I am not happy about this).

Heh, the BSG wiki page has this snippet from a review that kinda sums up my feelings about the series:

"There was a time, not long ago, when BSG was considered the gold standard for science fiction television. Tense, multilayered, complicated, and filled with morally gray characters — it was all the things we always clamor for but seldom get. The show stumbled somewhat in its third season, with the [spoiler]. But it didn't actually become raw suckage until [major spoiler], and then [major spoiler] for no reason. The writers have basically admitted they had no plan for [same spoilers] — they just thought it would be a cool thing to do, and they would figure out the reasons later. And thus, we ended up with a year of [spoiler] Interrupted, constantly shouting "You're going the wrong way!" and playing the piano while talking about her daddy."

I had forgotten how exciting all of this is...! I'm on the edge of my DNA-locked pins and needles seat! I can fly this Viper, let me at 'em!

And that review is pretty much EXACTLY how I feel, having got lost and uncomfortable halfway through season 3... Sure recipe for disaster when the writers admit "We don't really have a long game plan for this actually."

Wait, I missed that, our sign-up numbers affect our roles? Nice touch! :D

I'm new to BSG. I watched the miniseries...enjoyed it. Now partway through season one. Should I stop after season 2?

yeah good question, I've just finished series one. Series three onwards so bad that it's best to pretend it doesn't exist?

The thing is, if one abandons it, you will get very unfinished product without any closure at all.

I absolutely loved the miniseries. It was one of the best sci-fi on TV I ever saw. I then liked the season 1 a lot and most of the season 2 was good ride with its ups and downs but still enjoyable. But near the end of S2 it started to go awry and IMO the season 3 was absolute mess that ruined all previous atmosphere and broke the world they built previously for me. What they did to Cylons was a disgrace and I had big trouble finishing the series.
Still there are people who liked it (they are called madmen) so it is not like it is assured you won't enjoy it.


@Joe; What connection does Skyrim helmet have to this mafia game?

it's supposed to be a cylon raider and a viper attempting to out-manuover one another in action-packed space battle.

starting to remember why I abandoned you all now...

Thanks. :D I haven't had any word from Damnation, so I've asked zeogold if he wants the spot. I'm glad to see people are enthusiastic about the game, I'm looking forward to things starting. :)

Yeah, I guess the dice rolls were done beforehand.


If you have Barefoot essentials installed you can get a nice high-res look at it! You can also stare into the eyes of "the Busey".

I do have it and I have looked. Thaa allowed me to see bigger Skyrim helmet staring at ugly naked bird monster.
Those spots of snow in the background are quite a nice touch and good reference to Skyrim, I admit that. ;-)

I like it. :-)

"the Busey" looks like it belongs in American McGee's Alice.

I'm rather flattered by it.
