Ah, the final post for Battlestar Galactica is upon us. Let us all watch The Plan, and then let us all weep, as then there shall be just one last review of Battlestar Galactica. Get your popcorn and potato babies ready for a final liveblog extravanganza!
WHYYYY DOES THIS HAVE TO END WHYYYY
So, let’s go out with a bang! (Well, at least until I start Caprica, that is.) This liveblog will start at 10am PST on Saturday, December 3rd. Please check a world clock to determine what time that is for you! At exactly 10am, start your copy of The Plan and use the comments below as your ~wonderful canvas~ that is the art of liveblogging.
Please keep in mind that myself and others are watching The Plan for the very first time, so do your best not to spoil upcoming moments! Then afterwards we can all hug and cry together. I’ll post my review of The Plan on Monday, along with any final, lingering thoughts I have about the series. Until then, happy watching!
Ohhh so excited for another live blog!! And I've only recently seen The Plan, so I will be able to pick up on little things that I missed out the first time!! Can't wait!
I will miss you reviewing BSG. It was almost like experiencing it for the first time all over again. 🙁
Let us live through you Mark!
I adore BSG but I CANNOT WAIT FOR BUFFY because that has always been my favorite show … ever. So it's a crying and an eagerly laughing eye.
Half an hour!
Right?
Fifteen minutes!
Yes I will keep doing this even though nobody else has commented yet
Boooo! I have to go to work in a half hour, but I will stick around for as long as possible! LOVE BSG! 😀
Five minutes!
Can I liveblog, do laundry, and cook lunch all the same time? Probably not, but I'm about to try!
ahhhhhhhhhh
Google clocks say it's time. STARTING!
Awwww Caprica in the Universal logo
Colony!
The original opening text is a nice touch.
The cylons are are saying the whole 'they have a plan' thing. Awesome.
Dean Stockwell continues to be amazing at acting against himself
Cavils snarking at each other. I love it.
And they have a plan….
Final Five in goo baths!
Oh god Cavil referring to Ellen as "Mom" just fills me with more squick
lol "Sticky hugs"
OMG Final Five in resurrection tubs. Kinda freaking me out.
Balta! I've missed you so much, and it's only been three days.
I didn't know EJO directed! Awesome!
Oh yes! Watch the extra stuff, it's so awesome seeing EJO with a directors hat and getting the best from all of the crew!
Awww retro footage of Baltar and Six. I miss this hair on Gaius.
Watching it now, I get the feeling that he really is jealous.
I love Gaius with the long Jesus hair myself, but this works perfectly..better than CultGaius hair.
This low angle is so awkward but I guess they had to match up the footage somehow.
Wooo Picon!
And so EJO's testing the limits of "Unrated DVD" begin. Topless bartenders"
Oh gods the flirting, so awkward but Ellen doesn't know.
Ugh Cavil you're so icky. Stop flirting with Ellen.
I could barely stomach this because I despise Cavil so very very much.
I'm late! I'm late! for a very important date
ANDERS! BAROLAY! Hey guys!
Anders playing pyramid – so pretty. His arms…
Anders so pretty.
Yay finally more arm porn!
"Everyone hang on to the lifebar please" I don't know why I like that line so much
SO MANY BASESTARS! Oh gods the sliding around so the prong..arm…things line up
I love the music over this sequence so much.
Is it my imagination, or did the basestars rotate?
"I haven't learned any godsdamned lessons!" Well done Ellen.
'We've got inbounds and they're not carrying flowers.' Understatement much?
Oh god the ships losing power.
Oh hey cut in shot of Lucy Lawless!
"Shoot 'til I can't coach" shades of Kara's "Fight 'em until we can't" from Lay Down Your Burdens
Well, Ellen…you're not wrong.
DESTRUCTION SHOULD NOT LOOK THIS AMAZING! OMG the CGI
My mind was quite blown by the SFX here.
Love that we get shots of the other colonies besides Caprica
Holy shit the nukes. That was 20 times scarier than in the miniseries.
No doubt. Those rather freak me out.
The contrast shots of the intact cities and then the burned versions, just, I have chills.
I get the feeling that all of the Colonies are burning. But I could be wrong.
GAETA!
Awww miniseries footage in general. Everyone looks so much younger
Galactica!!!
Gaeta! You look so young.
You cut to not-yet-Colonial One and somehow manage to NOT show Laura? Well done.
Tory were you seriously driving in high heels? NO! *is the only one that cares*
OMG Tory
Ugh injured Ellen. The flashes of them on Earth!
It would appear the Final Five are tougher than Cavil anticipated. Even Ellen survived the initial explosion.
OMG Ellen
Oh Gaius….Gaius….what are you doing!!!??
OH HEY BOXEY!
Awww Ellen asking for Tigh
Because it can't be said enough. Cavil is a dick.
Mark, are you here? It's been 23 minutes and nary a comment.
Methinks he's rapt.
Another Six with different hair.
SOCINUS!
The Memorial Wall. It's so full already.
'Do you know about the plan?' Do YOU know, Cavil?
Or a "Holy Shit"! But I think the nukeage may have been too much 🙁
Brunette Six is kind of awesome. And by 'kind of' I mean 'extremely'.
this
OMG that Six in leather and chains.
Holy crap, this Six has my glasses!
Cavil be more of a jerk, OH WAIT YOU CAN'T!
Cavil is worse than a jerk. He is a dick,(because it cannot be said enough):)
Oh yes, he can – we haven't gotten to New Caprica yet.
ZombieCenturion!! Refuses to die…is kind of awesome
Oh hi Shelley Godfrey!
And now we know why the Sixes look different: they're the only ones creative enough to even think about it in the first place.
"His jacket was burgundy, this is teal." ROFL
OMG Barolay. Anders. 🙁
Leoben stalking Kara already…..
Oh Doral – not the brightest crayon in the box, are we now?
and so the Leobens' obsession with Kara begins.
OMG Doral's tacky suits HAHAHAHA.
I hate him second only to Cavil. He's an ignorant asshole. Worst kind.
And this is when Leoben becomes a creepy Starbuck stalker.
And so Leoben's Starbuck crush is born.
Boomer and Tyrol being spectacularly bad at hiding their relationship
Oh hey it's the elephants that don't really make sense now.
I hate you right now Boomer. No really. Like a lot.
Well, she's still a sleeper agent at this point.
Yes I know. And I still hate her 🙂
OH GOD THE BODIES! DNW!
OMG the elephant was a trigger?
Something about never forgetting?
SHE'S MARRIED TO SIMON?!? ahsajsvkakda
Ugh, mass graves…GRIM:(
'Of all the humans to choose…' Poor Tyrol.
And one of the Simons has a family! I can't hate him quite so much now.
Man poor Boomer. Nice match up with the beginning of Water though.
OMG so disturbing
So horrific.
YAY ANDERS!!!!
BOO Cavil!!
Well, Cavil wasn't expecting that…
Way to frak up Tigh's very sensible plan there, Adama.
So that's how Cavil ended up with the survivors
So many Cylons in this Resistance!
Leoben as a Yoga Instructor is a strangely hilarious mental image.
And seems to totally fit in retrospect…
But so perfect for him.
Gaius ….Gaius….Gaius….you poor lovelorn fool..:(
MANDALA!
But, Kara teaching Hotdog over the wireless seems out of place in the timeline, all the surrounding scenes are from Six Degrees of Seperation.
I'm certain Kevin Bacon is in the fleet too.
How does it spin if it's an octagon?
Maybe it doesn't spin but is read by some special moving laser thing?
Cavil could you be any more of an ass?
Sadly, yes 🙁
Now that I've seen it all I have to agree.
ILU Grace Park, you're actually making me feel bad for Boomer.
EWWWWWW ! Stop kissing people Cavil….
/hork
Boomer just wants to be human. Don't be such an ass Cavil.
Are there only, like, four of us watching this right now?
Maybe others are rapt like Mark?
I've been watching but not commenting. I blame an ill-advised effort to multitask.
How's the laundry doing?
Good! Except for the part where I started the washer but forgot to put clothes in it.
These things, they happen.
