This show only wishes that Sackhoff's acting was the worst thing about it.
She ironically is the least stupid most quasi functional one of the window lickers on this show.

Just so there's no confusion: Season 1 was hot garbage.

But it was manageable garbage and it ended on a somewhat interesting note. We'll see where this goes and what they do with it.

lol through episode 4 I believe and it is still complete trash. The crew is just so terrible and what they're doing with the Achaia (?) is dumb.

*edit: Just checked again, Ep 3 only. Can't wait for 4!

even though the 1st episode felt like it took forever it was really short, the whole season is almost an hour shorter than the 1st.
runtimes are almost inline with that of normal tv.

watch the recap before you jump in, i really didn't remember anything about the show so was a bit confused in episode 1, obviously they keep repeating the same points over and over so its not too tough to pick it up. some space bugs are pissed Katie blew up their 5G tower and now they are chasing her, space cop style.

i enjoyed episode 1, the decisions everyone makes are baffling and katie sackhoff seems to be channeling some version of crazy drunk Russell Crowe but at least its not boring

i like how i finished the series and i still can for the christ of me remember who the person that got red shirt in the first minute was, lulz (or the second one)

i liked how every episode was a worser take on a star trek episode

like how they dealt with irara was just like how they dealt with dr moriarity

I thought that the two gay guys were a fucking mess, and just there for the SJW crowd that was pushed waaaaay too hard.

I thought the AI vs. AI battles that went on were just fucking dense, and I hated Iara, or however you spell her name. The only time it got good was when they got aboard the Descond (I think?) ship. Now, that was cool.

And I fucking knew that the bitch who went down to the planet with the settlers were toast, as soon as she shot that one alien.

Plus, who remembered that there were settlers onboard? I sure as shit didn't.

Decuma, which I only know because I’m the only one in the house who can hear apparently so every TV has closed captioning on and I’ve given up on turning it off.

finished binging, loved season 2. It was 100% 1950s scifi pulp, dialed up to a 10. Redneck star trek. dungeon and dragons campaigns in space. Starbuck was still a complete sociopath whose answer to every problem is to shoot at it with a gun, and I loved it.

Complete story, there is a beginning, middle, and satisfactory end with no cliffhangers or shit. I'm totally down for season 3, but if it gets no more episodes thats fine too. Pacing was great, never felt the desire to fast forward and they kept the story moving along.

In many ways it felt like a Mass Effect prequel, I really hope in the next few years they do a Mass Effect TV show and take lessons from this, not the goddamn snooze fests that Foundation and Invasion have been. This show is like 1/10th the budget of those shows but does the max with them, reminds me of all the SyFy canadian shows like Stargate, Farscape, BSG, etc.
