The mother of all marathons: Battlestar Galactica on Sci Fi

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

Before you non-Battlestar Galactica fans skip this entire post, do me a favor and read this for a second.

Have I ever steered you wrong? I know many of you have taken up shows that my wife and I have recommended and ended up loving them. The Office, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, J ... Continue reading »

    Minor correction ;) The blog post I made was a snippet from another blog, just showing how people judge it before giving it a chance. Although I was once one of those people, I've been watching for a while now! :)

    Sorry about that, guess I got confused :)

    Either way, it's really the point that matters...people judge it by the name instead of giving it a shot...and it's just so much better than almost everything out there.

    I got my parents to watch this show, which you must underwstand is some kind of marvel. They had ZERO interest in it, I gave them the first season and a challenge, simply watch the first 3 episodes, if you dont like it after 3, then no worries. I received a call on a Friday night at 9:55 p.m. It was my step mom who asked me "are you going to be home tomorrow early? We want to stop by and pick up season 2, to watch". I laughed becuase it had them HOOKED, and said "yes... I'll be here in the morning, come by when you get up.". My phone rang 10 min later... it was my step mom again, she asked, "can we come over now and get it?!" ITS THAT FRAKKIN GOOD.
    As Mo said this show isnt a space ranger megatroid warpcoil fluxcapacitor sci-fi show. This is an INTENSE gritty military drama that I would bet would be EXTREMELY tough to rival on the individual charecter development and unbelievable suck you in story week after week show (I hear Lost may do this as well, but I've never seen it). This damn show brings tears to your eyes almost every episode, the music, the charecters, the story, it envelops you, you feel everything, its the most amazing show on tv ever in the history of tv!!!!
    If you havent seent this show, log off now, go home sick, go get in line at best buy to buy it or blockbuster to rent it RIGHT NOW!!! ...and tell em the Cap'n and Mo sent you!

    Thanks for all the pimpage here, much appreciated.

    I love hearing people write about why they love this show, and how they converted people, etc. Fun post and comments here!

    Might also be worth mentioning to your readers that if they are FORSERIOUS BSG TRUFANS, they must watch the premiere next week 9 hours early, streaming online. (USA only) Rah rah rah!

    ProgGrrl, I would do that if I had no patience, but nothing beats seeing it in HD on a big screen :)
