There are a lot of sins that can be forgiven simply by including Dirk Benedict in your show, but having an entire episode about a ship catching fire is a lot for even the Avatar of Bouncy to make up for. I mean, seriously, who thought that was a good idea? It's like, you're sitting there, it's Dirk, he's pretty, there's some evil robotic doom flying around, it's all good, and then:
"Oh noes, the Galactica is on fire! Curse you, Kamikaze Cylons!"
*ten minutes later*
"Wow, that sure is a bad fire..."
*ten more minutes later*
"I hate that fucking robodog. Oh look, more fire."
*ten more minutes later*
"Yup. That's fire alright."
*ten more minutes later*
"Oh God I don't care anymore, just evacuate the ship, throw everyone on the Rising Star out of the nearest airlock and commandeer it for yourselves. Admiral Cain would have wanted it this way."
*five minutes later*
"Huh? What? End credits? I must have dozed off. Oh well, time for some unicorns."
Also, what the hell was with Adama being all like, "Put your best people on this, Tigh"? Like Tigh is really sitting there going, "Oh hey, our ship is totally on fire, and if we all die the entire Fleet is shit out of luck... I think I'll entrust this misson to some random space-hobos I just found!" Shut up, Lorne Green. You're just not as awesome as Edward James Olmos.

Can't you record audio commentaries for the eppies? I'd love to hear you slaughter them. You should do a podcast. Like, really.
The Avator of Bouncy. Damn, that's catchy.

Having said that, I wish I had saved an MSN conversation I was having with one of my friends who is also a fan of both versions of BSG, which culminated in us compiling the list of "Characters Who Should Be Eaten By A Daggit Who Is Then Thrown Out Of An Airlock For Being Bloody Annoying". Needless to say, Sheba and Serena both appeared multiple times.

That really sums it up pretty nicely, though *nods*
*evil cackle*
Weeeeeell, more or less happened to the last bitch. Uh, character.

I'm still convinced Starbuck totally paid that Cylon off. Have you seen that episode of Futurama where they go to a folk concert and there's a band there called "Cylon and Garfunkel"? Starbuck so got him that gig in exchange for blasting Serena.
no subject
OMG. "Cylon & Garfunkel"? Pure brilliance.
That theory makes a lot more sense than it probably should.

Poor Apollo, he never wins any fights. Not even with Jamie Bamber!Apollo, because the Adamas would get too annoyed by their combined whininess and have them both thrown into the Eaten By Daggits room.
It was great, it was a proper gold boss-Centurion Cylon, complete with blinky red eye thing. And Garfunkel was a head in a jar, and they sang "Scarborough Fair" and the Cylon had it's cool Cylon voice. Johnathan and I were in stitches, but my littlest brothers were just like, "Huh?". We tried to explain it to them, but got as far as "Well, there's this show that ended before you were born... and this band that broke up before you were born... and... you know what, never mind."
Think of it, there you are, a shiny gold Cylon, your mum was a Centurion, your dad was a Centurion, but you want to be a folk singer. How do you do it? By making a deal to help out a sexy Viper pilot with connections to all kinds of people in the entertainment industry, of course.

Because he's great like that! *loves T*
Because whatever you do, don't destroy YCs! You got it coming then!
Did I mention I love T? Love him. BA = major &hearts
Ahaha. I so need that room.
OMG, my fave S&G song, too *LOL*
Heh. That's the problem with the kids today. Most pop-jokes just get way over their heads, poor things.
I bet that happens a lot. Wow. Bob Cylon. Cylon Jennings.

Damn Cylons, I bet they put drugs in people's milk too. Their evil knows no bounds.
Did you ever see that "Mr T versus..." list? It was awesome; all these weird little paintshop'd comics about Mr T fighting various folk.
Oh God, do you watch Stargate: Atlantis? There's these evil baddie aliens called Wraith, and sometimes the good guys capture one and there's this character who loves giving them random names like Bob or Steve. And now I'm totally imagining Bob the Centurion.

ZOMG. You are my hero. If I was you, I'd never leave the bedroom again. I'd just play with the dols all the time.
Uuuuuuh, that reminds me of something: do you know the Action Sherlock Brain Theatre?
And that's something you feed to BABIES!!
Oh. Oh yes. I LOVE that.
*dies* I am so going to name random Cylons from now on.
no subject
And no, but OMG AWESOME! I think I know where I'll be spending my intarweb time from this point on.
There has to be one for Mr T versus the Cylon Empire. I'm going to go see if I can find one.
Oh, it would be hilarious. And you could pick like one Cylon in every episode to be your Cylon friend, and then cry when he dies and be all like, "Nooo, not Dave! I loved him!"

Sounds way better than drinking and clubbing to me. I pity the foo' who does that!
Action Sherlock is the funniest and snarkiest thing in the web. As is Fatson and Sumo!Yourcroft and EA Poe and everyone, really.
*rotfl* I will never be able to watch a Cylon die without giggling hysterically now. No way.
no subject
How can you not giggle hysterically anyway? It's the little panicked arm-flail they do when they collapse that gets me, like, "Shit, shit, I have lost my balance, oh God I have been shot in my primary circuit board. Remember me to my wife and children!"
