Clearly, a sign! And I've always wanted to watch that classy 80s romance he made with Shabana. If only I could find the title!<br /><br />ajnabi - Yes, I KNOW!

I'm pretty sure I have two black eyes and stitches in my upper lip by now.<br /><br />PPCC, once you reach the episodes of season two, each one was reviewed as it aired, so if you've seen the episode the recap won't spoil anything for you. Just... don't read the synopses of the future episodes. They don't usually give too much away but when they do it's kinda extreme.ajnabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-62709327293207111072010-03-02T06:15:14.985-08:002010-03-02T06:15:14.985-08:00The Battlestar stuff and philosophical fiber is OK...The Battlestar stuff and philosophical fiber is OK and all, but what I want to know is this:<br /><br />Will PPCC be participating in the first week of May's <b>Vinod Khanna festival</b>?<br /><br />You don't want to forget where you came from, right? And PPCC has written many insightful reviews of Vinod's films. But so much more can still be said. Or even repeated! So I'm hoping that when the time comes for Vinod Khanna appreciators to be counted, PPCC will not be missing, off pondering character development in another galaxy.what matters mostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-49655663715873893512010-02-28T23:38:27.294-08:002010-02-28T23:38:27.294-08:00Oh the humanity is right or what's left of it ...Oh the humanity is right or what's left of it at least.

I have 2 half-written BSG episode reviews on my laptop, and I was chiding myself to bring some diversity back to the PPCC. But diversity bedamned, it's BSG Forever time!<br /><br />And word up re: it becoming more and more unsettling. I just watched the truly dismal episode from season 2 about the Woe of the Pilots, and I had to have some mango juice just to cheer myself back up.

The character development just gets more and more complex and every few episodes there is one that explodes into a WTF moment. The show is truly unsettling and every revelation just leads to more questions. <br /><br />Starbuck was my favorite character as well and she truly is the heart of this complete mind bender of a show. Have really never seen anything quite like it and have started watching 'Caprica' just to ease the withdrawals ;)<br /><br />Would love to read some of your thoughts on the episodes as you go through the seasons. And don't forget to watch the webisodes (which bridge some of the seasons together) as well as the 2 hour movie 'Razor' which provides a back story to some of the characters on BG...Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-1400270408950846692010-02-20T20:37:18.447-08:002010-02-20T20:37:18.447-08:00Kelsy - Agreed.

Starbuck is da bomb.<br /><br />Anarchivist - I made the BIG MISTAKE of starting to read Tigh's Wiki entry, which basically started giving away some MAJOR FACT which I am still unsure of. This happens every time I read a BSG wiki entry, so I am not stopping. But my point: yes, he seems very interesting as well. They all do! I'm in season 2, and Sharon has become my favorite. Well, after old Adama.<br /><br />Ajnabi - Ooh, thanks for the rec!

So far, it just keeps getting more complex. <br /><br />And for the record, my favorite character is Tigh, which I would NEVER have believed when watching the miniseries in the beginning. Hey, is that -- actual character development? On the Sci Fi Channel?

I like that it's philosophical, but also has storylines that do with the innerworkings of the government and military.
