Cybersnark:

That is absolutely the most concise and clear-cut analysis of Mal I've ever read. And no, I'm not being cynical or sarcastic. You hit the nail on the head. My compliments to you.

All his foibles aside, I find Mal heroic. I haven't seen a main character on any show in ages who has that kind of brass. Doubtful I will again. To me, it's no wonder the show got deep-sixed.

T3L:

Welcome to the fray. Everyone here has been through that hopeless feeling of emptiness that comes when you realise you've just watched the last episode of FF.

Might I suggest a bottle of vodka? Works for me.

UNREGISTEREDCOMPANION:

The "new" Baltar is a superb actor. No doubt about it. I just hate the way his character is written. I also can't get past the fact that he looks like A. Siddiq (the guy who played Doctor Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). The resemblance is uncanny. And both were written to be equally meek.

XG, you're certainly pretty feisty on this particular thread, no?

Let me put it all in perspective.

Battlestar Galactica is all about the Vipers.
Awsome in the original series, awsome in the new one. Everything else is just the felgercarb in between shots of the most perfect one-man space fighter ever designed.

Don't bother to fight me on this; it is unqualified, indisputable fact.



Well, IMHO Chrisisall

I'm not gonna dispute you dude.

Yes. BSG is all about the vipers. You've uncovered the 1-dimensional and transparent nature of my posting.

Take a bow.

You've put it in perspective. Someone please assfuck me till my head explodes. I did'nt realise I was so shallow.

Thank god (if such a thing exists) that Chrisisall put it into perspective for me.

Holy fuck I've been so blind.

Um...you want to be alone right now, don't you?

Time out for you, young man.
No Vipers for you today!

There is no gravity, your posts suck Chrisisall

We truly need to learn to stop feeding the trolls.

The proper response is to turn your back on the troll. Ignore the pathetic whinging and complaining. Pay no mind to the expletives and explosions. Overcome the urge to pet the slimy creature.

Just let it be. Ignore it. Soon, lack of food will force the troll to find another bridge (or board) to torture.

I feel like I'm at a very 3rd rate tent revival of new-BSG fanboiz/galz.

You all find someone who disagrees with your conventional (and predictable views)... you don't debate... you just attack.

And you attack, and you attack, and you attack.

Lemme summarize...

(1)

I'm "repetitive" (as storymark would put it) (I'd love to hear him give a singular concrete example of me repeating myself, but hey... why bother?)

I'd like to think the only thing repetitive in my line of thinking is my hatred of the new show.

But nah... I'm just a broken record who repeats the fuck out of myself. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, care to show me a single example of repetition in my posts? ...ya once or twice I reiterated what I'd already said IN RESPONSE to a direct question in this same thread (for idiots who didn't get it the first time)...

but please show me where I'm repeating myself. You can't (cuz I don't).

(2)

I call people names. Odd... the only people I call names are the public figures who make this crappy show.

Yet, fanboiz/galz call me names, and when I call them names back, they say "Oh hey wait hey now stop that c'mon no need for namecalling..." ~ even though they struck first. Of course, they deny it (even though it is simply disproven by going back and re-reading this same fuckin thread).

But hey.... people believe what they want to believe... they rise up and defend idiots like this because they haven't read this entire thread.

They just wanna chime in with their opinion... fuck the facts, it's all about being a mindless fanboi/gal of the show.

(3)

Chrisisall:

I've seen every retarded form of low-brow debating tactic in this thread 2X at least. You're the first to isolate a singular insignificant fact and pretend it's the whole thrust of my argument. Your stupidity is unique in this thread in that respect (although not unique among feebleminded debaters).

Go watch "Planet of the Apes" ~ the original. Pay close attention to the courtroom scene where Heston is proven guilty in the ape court of law.

It's relevant to that tiny little brain of yours. You could learn something.

Knibblet:

You're managing to win this argument on pathos alone.

You know what "pathos" means don't you?

Go look it up in a dictionary. Oh... please don't feed the trolls. Starve them out.

Just don't dare debate them. And PS ~ I could SO annihilate you on the facts if I didn't have to deal with all your bootlicking whore assassins.

new-BSG sucks (unless your brain is the size of a pebble).

It's a good show. Serenity is in the back ground in the mini series & in the extras they say almost the same thing as Joss about the way it was filmed.

The new BSG is very good and worth your time. The second season has had a few stumbles but I'm sticking with it and hoping these were just experiments that didn't go well. (I like a show that takes chances even if they don't always pan out.)

The missing element compared to FF is the funny, although I've noticed a (very) few moments in the last few episodes.

Overall, this is the best SF on TV right now.

"Big damn junkies, Sir!"

I didn't say it was the thrust of your argument; in point of fact the thrust of your argument is the argument itself. You want a war (are you Cheney?).
And you overlook the most important aspect of the shows, the glorious Viper.
You're not a fan of the original series, or you'd know this. You probably don't even have a plastic modle kit of the Viper (w/home made cockpit-not included) like I do, do you?
{ad hominim} You are a pathetic, Viper-less loser.{/ad hominim}

P.S.:
"you attack, and you attack, and you attack.
I'm "repetitive"
me repeating myself,
the only thing repetitive
I'm just a broken record who repeats
repetition in my posts?
I reiterated
show me where I'm repeating myself.
2X at least."

You're funny.
Do you mean to be?






Chrisisall, feedin' the Trolls
