BTW I love how this show continues to hold its own today. I started rewatching it a couple weeks ago, and my wife stopped behind the couch one day and now I am not allowed to watch a second of it unless she’s there to enjoy it too.

It's a blessing and a curse. It's great to be able to share stuff but also, what do you mean you're too tired to watch it's the last episode of the season come on

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 5 months ago

I usually pump the brakes with series. She likes to binge, I prefer to watch a couple at a time and let the story sink in before proceeding another day.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

I would so hate watcing a great show with you. I want to know what happens next and I want to know it NOW haha

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

Nah, if I binge I find I forget a lot of the content. Watching one or maximum two episodes at a time stretches the good feeling from the watching, maximizing pleasure.

The binge amnesia allows for surprises on the rewatches

You underestimate how rotten my brain is 😬

.... Just watch it again.

(For that "just tape them up" energy)

We just watched it last year and I can’t believe I missed it the first go round. We were blown away.

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

It's just a pity on a great show to have such a bad ending.

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 months ago

Wasn't that bad IMO.

[-] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

It's way less bad on rewatch. Like we had it good back then for what we considered a bad ending lol

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 5 months ago

Each to their own.

I loved the ending, but that doesn't mean you have to.

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I expected some resolution or motivation for everything that had occurred, instead we got "God did it".

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I've never seen the ending but from what I remember of what I've seen, wasn't that telegraphed from season 1?

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago

Weeeeellll, mostly it's all because Cavill is a sadist ;-)

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I haven't watched the show before, but it's been my Sunday ritual for a little while now. I watch while ironing my shirts, it's really good ! Character writing is 10/10.

Oh you’re in for a ride! Battlestar Galactica. Not the one from the seventies, the one from the aughts. This series broke my mind on what a sci-fi series could be and do. Start with the movie/miniseries, continue with the full on series.

The 2 x 1.5 h miniseries is from 2003. The series from 2004.

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

A friend tried to watch that with me a few years ago. Wasn’t really my thing.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Don’t be so glum, we all got skeletons in the closet.
