r/BSG

I finished listening to the commentary tracks for the show but was curious if any existed for the webisodes, and if so, where? I see the Blurays list the Resistance Webisode but it doesn’t seem clear from the listing if it has its own commentary track. I’ve read Jane Espenson did a commentary track for Face of the Enemy, but that was only hosted as far as I can tell on SciFi’s website, so is is the commentary for that lost to time?

How did the fleet in the original series travel between systems. They never mention it except in one episode they traveled at the speed of light which they never did before.

Colonel Tigh: "No, we are not gonna talk about the fragile body of Gaius frakkin' Baltar!"

From what I understand they scrapped Pegasus' sets after the New Caprica arc due to budgetary reasons. But of course in Razor you see Michelle Forbes back in the Pegasus CIC with some minor differences to her look in season 2. I'm just wondering when film production began.

and it was so bad that I switched it off after 5 episodes. I'm now watching through BSG in its entirety as a palate cleanser.

Tl;Dr - don't waste time with Another Life. It's two dozen sci-fi tropes in a trenchcoat with atrocious writing and stilted dialogue.

The final 5?

I must have missed it. How did they get to Caprica without knowing who they were? How was Ellen resurrected? How did Cavil know about them?

I watched this during my first watch of BSG years ago. This past week I binged the entire series and ended with “The Plan”.

Obviously there was no major secrets revealed. Beyond that, the show was basically a reel show with clips from the series and a few background clips.

Overall, a solid B- for Battlestar Galactica. Nothing new. A few thoughts:

- It ends with two Cavils getting spaced. One of the had just knived a kid and said friendship was dangerous yet her took the other Cavil’s hand in friendship as he got spaced.

- I was wondering if Boomer sided with Cavil because he was still controlling her with the elephant.

- a bit retconned or poorly managed since it showed the final five with Cavil but then him wanting to put them with the humans for a lesson. Supposedly the five arrived during the first Cylon war and they stopped the war, but then later the five are in resurrection bathtubs? But Saul was around during the first Cylon War as a Colonial Officer. The timeline was a bit jumbled.

- If they’re going to make a movie about “The Plan” , I would rather they had followed the Final Five plot line more fully, then arriving and stopping the First Cylon War and then getting double crossed by Cavil/John rather than just a reel show. I realize ever serialized show as a reel episode because it’s a lot cheaper to produce (just reuse old footage) but still.

When Boomer shot the Old Man or when Dee shot herself?

this is only my opinion so please don’t come for me ! I got so hooked with the show especially at the end of season 2 and beginning of season 3, I loved the way they went to New Caprica but once they got out of it I just feel like the show started dragging so bad 🫩

the romance and couples are always changing so it’s annoying me lowkey and some episodes def feel like filler episodes, like nothing happens until the last minutes. I’m still so excited to finish the season to see how it’s gonna go 🫠

does it end on a good cliffhanger ? since i’ll only have season 4 left to watch after.
