Using this, you can allow most users to view a specific post without giving anything away unless they want to see it.

I hope this helps someone!

WOW STRONG EXCITEMENT.

The only suggestion I have is to periodically have discussions about previous episodes or episodes that just aired. If anyone says something that contains spoilers you could simply delete the post, but that would mean you must browse this thread quite often...which I'm sure you would do anyways.

But why are we avoiding spoilers? The ONLY people who would view this thread are the fans of the series anyways, and they would surely want to discuss all aspects of it. Maybe you should just put a spoiler warning in the title?

I know!! What a porker! I watched the last episode of season 2 when....OK, I am going to talk about specific elements of the show. If you haven't seen past episodes, then stop reading.

Ok, in the final episode, Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II, when Lee is commanding the skeletal crew of Pegaus, he looks rather chunky.

I didn't notice is so much until the new season three started. WTF!! And I love the comment his dad made: "Get your fat ass out of here!"

Camel Baron · 10-20-2006, 08:47 PM

Haha totally agree skippy,

I have watched the first 3 episodes (s3) and so far i find the series so twisted (i love it) when i first started watching the new battlestar series i thought ohh great another crappy remake but i have been proven wrong and i am very impressed with the storyline and current plot developments.

Anywho, I hope that they don't do the "Baltar is a CYLON" thing.

WWE-TicK · 10-20-2006, 08:51 PM

I just wanted to say tonight's episode kicked much ass. But since we can't spoil, I can't get into much further detail than that

timbo81 · 10-20-2006, 08:57 PM

someone post pics of the asian chick, she is so hot.

I know.

BoyscouT, what do we do? Do we talk about tonight's episode but only using the special spoiler method (I updated post #1 in the thread with your instructions).

What is the general rule of thumb? Wait a day or two?

I thought you could talk about episodes that already aired. Thats not really a spoiler.

Camel Baron · 10-20-2006, 09:12 PM

or just put *SPOILERS* in the thread title and let people enter at their own risk, why regulate it soo strictly, even a simple; SPOILER BELOW and /spoiler, would no doubt suffice

Camel Baron · 10-21-2006, 12:48 AM

WOW ep3 - that was an awesome episode, full-on from start to finish. Didn't think Saul would have what it took to do what he did.

POSSIBLE SPOILER

The battle scenes were great! Pity about the Pegasus, but they did a good job to take out all those Cylons. Interesting to see what happens next.

Slated · 10-21-2006, 12:51 AM

I haven't had TV since I moved to Thailand.

I decided it would make me more productive.

sad....

**skippy** · 10-21-2006, 06:36 AM

I believe BSG airs in the UK before it does in the US. Can anyone from the UK confirm this?

I am in the Mountain timezone, GMT -7, and it airs Friday night at 7pm.

(I edited your post: It was ep3 not 4).

Sol is true soldier and will do what has to be done. I was a bit surprised they destroyed Pegasus. It parallels the original series nicely when Pegasus took on both Basestars.

All I can say is that sequence where Galactica jumped into the lower atmosphere then jumped out just before crashing was BADASS!!

I think he thought it was episode 4 because when you download it off the net it's saying it's episode 4. The season permier was a 2 hour thing on TV but on the net it came out in 2 parts. Great thread though it'll be good to chat about this show. I haven't watched the ep yet just haven't had the time i'm about to go do it now. Hopefully it's as good as you guys said it was.

Red_Dragon · 10-22-2006, 12:34 AM

I was a fan ever since 2005. Don't have sci-fi so I have to resort to downloading it. Half-way through season 2, but damn the show is so good.

Quatchkopf · 10-22-2006, 03:45 AM

The last episode I saw I almost didn't go to work. It was friking intense. I saw the Pegasus and Galactica in 'Mortal' combat and the Pegasus was getting ready to ram some ship. I recorded from that point on but don't know what I got yet. I wen't to blockbuster to rent the episodes but the *******s no longer have them. I guess I will try total or something.
