TVSquad

I decided to do something different this week, myself and C.K. Sample III (our Big Brother reviewer) decided to hop on AIM and do a chatcast while we watched Battlestar Galactica.

We hope you have as much fun reading it as we had doing it.

Jen Segrest: wooo!
C.K. Sample, III: chatcast!!!
Jen: yeah!!!!
C.K.: w00t
Jen: this should be fun
C.K.: oooh lions
Jen: here we gooooo
C.K.: Yeah. I'm glad they went back to the intro format from last season
C.K.: yeah. oh my god. a little kid
Jen: aaahhh the Gideon Massacre, the highlight of tigh's career
C.K.: is that XENA?
Jen: yep. and that's her real hair color, she always dyed it for Xena. I heard lucy lawless said this is the first role that she's used her real voice.
C.K.: I was just wondering about the horribly fake accent
Jen: No, it's New Zealand, she's a kiwi
C.K.: Now's the part where she tells Adama how to sex an alligator
C.K.: If this turns into a futuristic Cops episode, I'm going to be upset
C.K.: Ellen's out of whiskey
Jen: Ellen the skanky ho is back
Jen: Dualla has the prettiest eyes
C.K.: yes she does
C.K.: ooooh blood on mirror
Jen: Ok maybe Ellen is a cylon
C.K.: maybe
Jen: Boomer left herself messages too
C.K.: I don't think so though
C.K.: b/c the doc tested her
Jen: Yeah, she's way too human to be a toaster
C.K.: and we usually find out when the doc finds out
Jen: I have a thing for Gaius, I'll just say that now, so ignore the chants for him to strip later
C.K.: he's oddly enough the character I think we're supposed to identify with most on the show
C.K.: he's the only one whose head we really get into
Jen: yeah
C.K.: and I mean REALLY
Jen: you feel bad for him too
C.K.: yeah
Jen: I mean he was a horn dog, not a bastard. not a spy, not anything, just a unlucky SOB
C.K.: so, I'm really glad they added back the upcoming scenes from the night's episode
C.K.: the first few episodes this season that were missing them felt odd
Jen: and James Callis plays his craziness so fabulously
C.K.: I like the drums and "huh" in that part
C.K.: yeah, he's great
Jen: they I hear on the podcasts just toil and toil on the intros on which scenes are included and which aren't
C.K.: Although I still can't believe that he and Starbuck did the horizontal tango
Jen: well she's a horn dog too
Jen: I have to wonder though, if she's having gaius' baby now, or what the hell the cylons did to her
C.K.: they stole her eggies, I think
C.K.: what's with the switch in the podcasts from the one producer to the two hosts, I don't like it
C.K.: I liked the original insight; now they seem to interrupt each other
Jen: well the last two... the other Guy wrote it
Jen: so he brought him in, and it was a two parter, so there ya go
C.K.: yeah
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break
C.K.: so the viewers can sink with what we're seeing as we type it
Jen: Eddie needs some concealer
C.K.: oh yeah. that episode where he was playing a young him was BAD
Jen: some laser refinising
Jen: ooooh Jamie Bamber has beefed up nicely since Horatio Hornblower. mmm...
C.K.: Starbuck is up on her poetry. Beauty brawn and BRAINS
Jen: She's a artist's kid
C.K.: That last kid they showed is a cylon, or the death threat guy. The one up in the bunk. That's my guess
C.K.: WHOA towel slip
Jen: The ass girl is a cylon?
C.K.: no, the guy up in the bunk that gave the look
Jen: I should Tivo that back but I'll look later
C.K.: that is still there
C.K.: oh, great, interviews, bleh
Jen: well it wasn't long at least
C.K.: I love how neurotic (Gaius) is
Jen: here we go. Crazy G is in the hizzhouse!!!
Jen: ( I apologize for saying that)
Jen: They want him to take the baby, or kill it, not sure.
C.K.: I wonder if they're going to sleep together
C.K.: Xena and Gaius
Jen: she's a blonde, he seems to like blondes
C.K.: lol "what a strange little man"
Jen: she could crush him with her thighs though
C.K.: lol
Jen: he's like 5 foot 5, she's I think over 6 foot
Jen: what a bitch that pilot is, she was snapping at him last week too
C.K.: yeah
Jen: They are gonna do it, lol
C.K.: ooooh cat fight
C.K.: it's like the first few days of the Real World before the castmates get used to the cameras!
Jen: I guess Xena and that guy actually filmed most of this stuff. She said they were working really hard to do it all at once
C.K.: why the hell does Adama like Tigh so much?
Jen: old friends overlook stuff
C.K.: hah - stay away from the bar
Jen: don't come back.  leave that whore on the planet
C.K.: he's going to go into detox
C.K.: whoa, I sense hostility towards the whore
Jen: it's gonna blow!!!!
C.K.: an attempt on Tigh?
Jen: someone it out for revenge over the shootings
C.K.: or just a coincidence
Jen: I betcha
Jen: They used a hammer, nope
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break
Jen: damn tigh's still alive. more trouble then he's worth
C.K.: man, how bad was his wig in the "young Tigh" episode
Jen: I love these red stripe beer commericials
Jen: hooray beer!
C.K.: Red Stripe rools
C.K.: HOORAY BEER
C.K.: this chatcast brought to you by Red Stripe(tm)
C.K.: I'm thirsty
Jen: I like this one too, "dad is awesome!" It sticks in my head
Jen: I've rediscovered the awesomeness of the word awesome
C.K.: awesome
C.K.: every time anyone around me says Expedia, I *have* to sing "dot cooooooom"
Jen: LOL I always think that too
C.K.: dumb commercial. fat guys playing football in the streets
C.K.: why?
Jen: good selling point, this car will dent easy!
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break over
C.K.: someone is trying to kill you saul, and it's me
Jen: I bet it's his wife
C.K.: I bet so too. I think she may be doing it as a press stunt
Jen: ellen = manipulative C-word
Jen: fire hazard!
Jen: yeah she's the one going after saul I bet
Jen: Helo says on camera: My jaw is the size of a buick
C.K.: lol
C.K.: ooooh the robot is leaking red oil
Jen: :::sings::: cylon bleeding in the dead of niiiight
C.K.: ha ha
C.K.: why is HE smoking?! and with the eyes aflutter
Jen: Doc Cottle smoke too.
C.K.: he's not this weird very un his character
Jen: I think it's a nice peek into how he snaps in and out of duty
C.K.: yeah, except it's so not what we've ever seen before
Jen: we've never seen him off duty have we?
C.K.: not really, and not that informal when he was
C.K.: Xena's liquoring up Tigh
Jen: "ooh this is the good stuff!"
C.K.: we had that one bathroom scene with the soap that time, when he realized *network!*
C.K.: ooooh boxing Starbuck, she's sporty spice
Jen: Starbuck in a halter top, and the geek boys now have to clean the tv
C.K.: that bag is REALLY taped A LOT
Jen: where they gonna get a new one?
C.K.: good point
C.K.: nice angle on that last shot
Jen: I love that space is silent in this show
C.K.: yeah
Jen: no music, no sound effects really
C.K.: uh oh kat's got probs
Jen: this is the angry babe right?
C.K.: yep
C.K.: she was drunk?
Jen: craaaappp
C.K.: is that what she said?
Jen: I dunno
C.K.: she's on dope. whoa freak out
Jen: that woudl explain the mood swings and aggression
C.K.: oooooh film of cylon baby being saved. why are all the humans so stupid?
Jen: well she's a reporter
C.K.: yes, but they have space robots trying to kill ALL OF THEM
C.K.: oooh, tape in XENA's bra
Jen: boobies - the ultimate storage system
C.K.: lol
Jen: I keep my extra cd's up there
C.K.: I've been growing man-boobs for exactly the same purpose
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break
Jen: chris angel, yawn
C.K.: wha... sorry fell asleep
Jen: heh
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break over
C.K.: Gaius is the best part of this show
Jen: yeah
Jen: and ditched by the reporter more action.... he's unimportant
C.K.: what? he's been chosen by GOD
Jen: gaius, trying to get her to stay
C.K.: cylons!!!
Jen: at a certain point you need to shut the press out of a emergency situation
C.K.: yeah
Jen: she can't get in your staffs way
C.K.: all access is dumb
Jen: maybe someone will punch her
Jen: I'd have thought their cameras would be smaller. I mean ours are tiny now
C.K.: producer thinking: "I know; we can save money on all the special effects, by filming the reactions being FILMED"
Jen: well this show is about the people
Jen: mmmm Apollo muscle shirt
Jen: I knew it!
C.K.: ok so I guess Ellen isn't the bad guy
Jen: Someone laying in wait
Jen: oh dont' be so sure, she's prolly in on it
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break
Jen: she'd fight the hell out of anyone like any drunken ho would, she didn't look liek she'd been hurt or manhandled
C.K.: she looked like she was ready to be strapped to the train tracks
Jen: there's a start!
Jen: I am so sick of bowflex
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break over
Jen: ah, it's your bunk guy
C.K.: I was RIGHT HA HA HA
Jen: there he is!
C.K.: I'm a genius
Jen: heh
Jen: no, shoot the bitch first!
C.K.: shoot HIM
C.K.: nice
Jen: shoot them both
C.K.: he leaned in. Tigh is suicidal
Jen: duct tape, is there is a place in the universe without it?
C.K.: the cylons don't use it and that will prove to be their downfall
Jen: I wonder if they have WD40
Jen: duct tape and WD40 is a sign of a unbeatable culture
Jen: woah, Adama liked the reporter's story
C.K.: yeah, but is she going to sync in a cylon baby scene?
Jen: well we were with her the whole ep mostly
Jen: I bet baby cylon is next week
C.K.: I wonder if it will be like the baby in V
Jen: ewwww
C.K.: twins, one robot
Jen: nah that's lame
C.K.: the other a human looking savior of humanity
Jen: I'm not sure the cylons aren't just clones with a chip
Jen: well the human cylons
C.K.: oooh the old galactica theme playing
Jen: oooh subtle
C.K.: nice, I love this ditty
C.K.: oooh, the cylons are watching
Jen: oh cylons watching it
C.K.: how'd they get this?
C.K.: OH MY GOD
C.K.: XENA IS A CYLON!!!
Jen: AHHHHHHHHHHH
C.K.: OMG OMG OMG OMG
C.K.: BOOP - commercial break
Jen: christ I never saw that one!
C.K.: me neither
Jen: woah, I love this show
C.K.: why the hell isn't friggin' Gaius testing people anymore?
C.K.: "you want unlimited filming of the Galactica? You have to be tested to see if you are a Cylon or not first"
Jen: yeah really!
Jen: she could have planted anything anywhere with that equipment
C.K.: yes
Jen: well that was a surprisingly fullfilling ending
C.K.: yeah the ending made it good
C.K.: the whole behind the scenes taping was waxing a bit melodramatic for my tastes tho
Jen: I wonder if her camera man was a cyclon too
Jen: cylon too
C.K.: I don't like the one long story line
C.K.: I like it when they chop up the story lines on this show
Jen: yeah well they had a couple subplots
C.K.: yeah, but I miss all the Caprica scenes
Jen: oh question, at the end did xena have the kiwi accent?
C.K.: we need an update on the resistance
C.K.: no she didn't, at least I didn't think so
Jen: well I hear that starbuck will go back and rescue cutie pyrmid player
C.K.: meanwhile we need updates on him
Jen: they tend to stay with the galactica crew, you dont see stuff happeneing unless one of them is there. for the most part anyway
C.K.: true, except for the whole caprica subplot before Starbuck went back there
C.K.: that was all non-crew specific, no?
Jen: ok so sharon II seems to be off the grid, they didn't know she was alive until they saw her
C.K.: yeah
C.K.: I liked their "silly humans kept her alive" response of amazement
Jen: yeah, still not sure what the cylons are after
C.K.: the destruction of the human race; d'uh
Jen: other than that
Jen: what reason, computers are logical. is it religous possibly?
C.K.: I mean there is the whole god thing
C.K.: but, I think the mythology of this show is very Oedipus Rex
Jen: I think it's interesting the humans are polythiests and the robots are monothiests
C.K.: the child wants to destroy / sleep with its parents
Jen: there's a reason for that
C.K.: yeah, binary code
C.K.: ones and zeros
Jen: yeah it does have that wierd angle
Jen: 1=kill humans 0=don't
C.K.: I think its interesting that the cylons are always faulting humanity for being so destructive and being murderers and that is exactly what they seem to be all about
Jen: I think they think they are delivering them to god or something
C.K.: very hypocritical of the cylons
Jen: very human of them actually
C.K.: there's also the whole "all this has happened before all this will happen again" mythos
C.K.: as if the cylons will eventually become the humans who will eventually become the cylons who will become...
Jen: ok watching stargate again, very last samuari, gag
C.K.: ha ha
Jen: the only thing missing is him hookingup with the hot 15 year old
Jen: who washes his undies naked in a stream
Jen: okay any last BSG thoguhts?
C.K.: I can't believe Xena is a cylon
Jen: ellen is a ho, starbuck is gonna get her freakon sometime with apollo or peopel are gonna die
C.K.: and I wonder if she'll be pseudo lesbian like she was as the warrior princess
Jen: yeah, it means we might see more of her, buh
C.K.: yeah
C.K.: more xena
C.K.: I wonder if Hercules and the Andromeda will show up
Jen: she was okay in this thoght
C.K.: except for that annoying accent
C.K.: :-)
Jen: she didn't do one lalalalallalalaall or
Jen: well thats her real accent
C.K.: yeah, sure
Jen: she is, lol
Jen: can't fault her for that, they told her to talk normally
C.K.: I think she's really from detroit
Jen: she's from New Zealand, you never knew that?
C.K.: no I knew that
C.K.: I just think it is a fake story, that her publicist came up with
Jen: LOL nah
Jen: I've seen her at cons
C.K.: especially after hearing her gawd awful accent tonight
Jen: that WAS her real accent
C.K.: lol
Jen: :::smack:::
C.K.: oh no you didn't
C.K.: *dons warrior princess outfit*
C.K.: ayeyayyayyayyie!!!
Jen: yiyiyiiyiyiiyiiyiyi!
Jen: hold on if you are xena does that make me her lesbian girlfrfeind?
