BTW I love how this show continues to hold its own today. I started rewatching it a couple weeks ago, and my wife stopped behind the couch one day and now I am not allowed to watch a second of it unless she’s there to enjoy it too.
It's a blessing and a curse. It's great to be able to share stuff but also, what do you mean you're too tired to watch it's the last episode of the season come on
I usually pump the brakes with series. She likes to binge, I prefer to watch a couple at a time and let the story sink in before proceeding another day.
I would so hate watcing a great show with you. I want to know what happens next and I want to know it NOW haha
Nah, if I binge I find I forget a lot of the content. Watching one or maximum two episodes at a time stretches the good feeling from the watching, maximizing pleasure.
The binge amnesia allows for surprises on the rewatches
You underestimate how rotten my brain is 😬
.... Just watch it again.
(For that "just tape them up" energy)
We just watched it last year and I can’t believe I missed it the first go round. We were blown away.
It's just a pity on a great show to have such a bad ending.
Wasn't that bad IMO.
It's way less bad on rewatch. Like we had it good back then for what we considered a bad ending lol
Each to their own.
I loved the ending, but that doesn't mean you have to.
I expected some resolution or motivation for everything that had occurred, instead we got "God did it".
I've never seen the ending but from what I remember of what I've seen, wasn't that telegraphed from season 1?
Weeeeellll, mostly it's all because Cavill is a sadist ;-)
I haven't watched the show before, but it's been my Sunday ritual for a little while now. I watch while ironing my shirts, it's really good ! Character writing is 10/10.
What show is this from?
Oh you’re in for a ride! Battlestar Galactica. Not the one from the seventies, the one from the aughts. This series broke my mind on what a sci-fi series could be and do. Start with the movie/miniseries, continue with the full on series.
The 2 x 1.5 h miniseries is from 2003. The series from 2004.
A friend tried to watch that with me a few years ago. Wasn’t really my thing.
Don’t be so glum, we all got skeletons in the closet.
