Hey guys! I just started reacting to BSG in Tier Slayers. I decided to make the first episode available for all tiers but after this the reactions will be exclusive to slayers. 

Also only this episode will have subtitles added to it. I figured since I watched the episode with subs on it makes sense to have them on for you too because sometimes i reacted to things too early since i read ahead.

Hope you enjoy :)

Awesome! Excited about the show. It's one of my favorites after Buffy. Yeah I'm happy about the end to the subtitles as well. I read ahead too and I also find them distracting and pulling me out of the immersion. Don't know if that's the case for you but it is for me.

Excited about you reacting to BSG. Sad it's on a different tier. I was really disappointed to see this on a poll I couldn't vote for; especially when the one for the Scoobie tier didn't have any I found interesting; and many I've never heard of.

Steve Bondy

Well, that decides it! I have to upgrade now! This is one of my all time favorite shows. I even bought the whole series on DVD and have been thinking of rewatching it lately. It will be way more fun watching it with you!

Ron Fehr

Thank you for letting us know about the scheduling issue. I watch Domi and Alley on Patreon as well (I can't really afford more), and they both let us know when their schedules might change. I know it's not something that you have to do, but it's very considerate of you.

Yay! It's BSG! The second best sci-fi show ever after Farscape. I am glad you picked BSG as I don't remember much from this one.

Ron Fehr

If I understand correctly, an armistice is like a peace treaty. But you probably figured that out.

Andrew Pulrang

So glad you are reacting to Battlestar Galactica! One of the reasons it's hard to wrap your head around is probably the huge amount of military terminology and acronyms that are used without explanation. The people who developed this "reboot" of the old '70s show of the same name were among other things military history enthusiasts. They simply moved a bunch of real-life military terminology, (especially Navy and Air Force), from our world over to BSG. It's the same strategy for the rest of the show really. We are meant to identify with people and a society that looks a lot like ours, except of course for the space travel. Notice the ships don't even fire lasers or phasers or whatever ... they fire bullets. And the people wear suits and dresses, smoke, play cards, have governments with Presidents, cabinets, and orders of succession, etc. And their ships and technologies aren't super clean and gleaming all the time. They are used, lived-in, grubby, and surprisingly low-tech. We can imagine ourselves in this world a little easier than, say, Star Trek or even Star Wars. One moment in particular is worth noting along these lines. Laura Roslin's swearing in as President onboard the "airliner" space ship is written and visually arranged to remind U.S. viewers especially of a famous photo of Lyndon Johnson being sworn in as President, aboard Air Force One, right after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. It's the same look and feel -- becoming President in a moment of crisis, in a a hastily arranged ceremony, with everyone present looking grim and traumatized. It's so beautifully done, and helps add to the sense of humanity in ultimate crisis. I hope you'll come to love these characters, and love to hate some of them, as much as I do!

Ron Moore, show runner for this iteration of Battlestar, was a showrunner for Star Trek Deep Space Nine; and he was always keen on not hitting the reset button at the end of each show and wanting to show like, the grittier side of humanity - something not strictly in Star Trek's wheelhouse; at least not back when he was doing it. So BSG is very much everything he always wanted to do in Star Trek, but wasn't allowed to do. There's even some visual touches, notable, in my opinion, all of the pictures and books and thing having the corners cut off. It was a thing they did on DS9 for one species, and it was a fairly minor quirk; which they brought here. But people involved with the production later lamented incorporating that in these first episodes, because it meant EVERYTHING had to be custom made to keep that visual continuity; from the picture frames to the books and playing cards, and anything else comparable. You are in for one crazy fraking ride.

Food has a finite usefulness. Yes, it's essential, but out of whatever you can carry, in terms of food will maybe last you a few days. But if you have any hope of long term survival, which assumes the necessities of food and water are taken care of, you'll need something to keep you sane. A refuge when you've spent your days with the same dozen or so people, eating the same meals, maybe having nothing to look forward to than crawl into bed and read whatever is on hand.

I hope an algorithm didn't suggest watching the show about AI trying to wipe out humanity....🤔

XO is Executive Officer, second in command

zerofk

The XO is not the most likeable guy, but I do feel for him. He has marital problems and likely an alcohol problem as well. Yes he did flip the table during the card game, but Starbuck was definitely goading him, and she hit him, not the other way around. Starbuck has a lot more charisma, but I wouldn't say she's the good guy in that situation. Gaius not cheating that old woman out of her seat was quite surprising after how he reacted when his Cylon girlfriend told him what happened.

Stargazer1682

Edward James Olmos (Adama) is such a fucking, sorry, fraking good actor. That moment at the end and the prospect of losing a second son and just the way he let's it. Tricia has talked about how the scene between her and Gaius was one of the first things filmed, so like basically their introduction; and because of the expected difficulties of working with leather/plastic underwear, she suggested to the actor playing Gaius that, there's a basement, let's go down and practice this, because it's going to be difficult. And as they're working on that, *she suggested they kiss to help break the ice, since they were basically strangers.

I am glad you are reacting to BSG, it is quite good and are you starting LOST after Buffy? I remember that LOST won the poll and it’s up there with Buffy as one of my favorite shows 😍 so I am very excited for it.

Collinson

You're about to to lose your biggest subscriber base but you put something those people would stick around for on twice the money? Sorry but that's really bad business sense.

Janel Davis

I'm so glad to see you're starting this! I'm not a big LOST fan, so I was bummed when I saw it won the poll. Thanks for offering options 😊

Pauline Robertson

Thank you for this journey Lexi, your reactions were always enjoyable. Buffy is my fav show ever but Lost is also pretty great, I think you'll enjoy it. Look forward to your reactions. Take care😊

Garrick Smalley

FYI when Laura Roslin is getting her diagnosis of cancer if you look up at the window you will see a Firefly class ship coming in for a landing. This was done as a nod to Serenity. 😃💜 I enjoyed this show when it first aired... then I say a bunch of Spoilers and get yelled at so no spoilers.

Megan

Thanks for the reaction! Can't afford that tier over the long haul, but maybe after you're done watching I'll pay it for a month or two to binge/check out the best eps. 😁 Until then, have fun watching BSG!

Aba

lol that has the be the fastest I've ever ditched a reaction, calls Cylons for Cyklons for some weird reason when it says in the subtitles "Cylons" also wants Saul one of the best actors on the show to die at first sight because she hates the actor... You're allowed to feel however you want about anything ofcourse, this reaction was just not for me at all.
