However, watching chronologically is not actually the suggested viewing order on this blog. As the author says, watching chronologically can spoil later reveals, and that's one of those. This is one show where the best viewing order is the actual production order.Josh Ochenduszkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311237082730369643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-21132189970179524622017-08-17T15:35:36.207+00:002017-08-17T15:35:36.207+00:00I watched the series before, except razor, the pla...I watched the series before, except razor, the plan and the webisodes. I forgot who were the cylons. I was trying to watch this by the suggested viewing order of this blog but after watching season 2. I watched razor and now the plan. I was surprised to learn that the wife of XO Saul tigh is a cylon. It was never revealed in any previous episode. So was this a mistake in the viewing order or it was meant to be revealed in the plan? Because the revelation was so casual, i'm thinking there is an error in the order.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118390823196010202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-62509787807298930242017-05-10T18:10:58.116+00:002017-05-10T18:10:58.116+00:00The Final Five comic is best read after the entire...The Final Five comic is best read after the entire rest of the series, I think.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-61218920348298021142017-05-10T06:50:33.583+00:002017-05-10T06:50:33.583+00:00One question if I may (apologies for any necro fee...One question if I may (apologies for any necro feelings): when would be the best time to read The Final Five comics, for someone who has yet to watch any BSG (i.e. me)?

It's only the resolution that sucks there. "Sine qua non" - no argument. And "Deadlock"...yeah, I ok. I agree. :) Stefan Sassehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504751435668017553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-64080378922567109152016-04-07T00:43:38.429+00:002016-04-07T00:43:38.429+00:00Ending is one of those things you either love (or ...Ending is one of those things you either love (or at least like) or hate. I'm in the first camp and have always wondered at the uberhatred those last episodes elicit. <br /><br />I agree with Adam that Black Market hate is also over the top. Maybe people latch onto it because Ron Moore himself famously crucified the episode in his podcast? Quite a few episodes are worse than that one.<br /><br />Masterpiece episodes not to be missed:<br /><br />The Miniseries<br />33<br />Kobol's Last Gleaming<br />Pegasus Trilogy<br />New Caprica Arc (Collaborators incl.)<br />Maelstrom<br />Faith<br />Revelations/Sometimes a Great Notion<br /><br />Worst episodes:<br /><br />Black Market<br />Sacrifice<br />A Measure of Salvation (a bad riff on Trekkian morality play)<br />Hero<br />A Day in the Life<br /><br />..and the Prize for the Worst Piece of Trash goes to:<br /><br />Deadlock! Abysmal episode. What makes it even worse is that it's a "mythology/arc" episode that can't be easily skipped.Mr Fixithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243895028266136669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-120698883829463292016-04-06T23:19:49.347+00:002016-04-06T23:19:49.347+00:00Whenever it gets quiet on your blog and I used to ...Whenever it gets quiet on your blog and I used to wonder what's going on, you know to surprised us with a major post and/or various quality entries.<br /><br />I wanted to say a big "thank you" for all your precious work.<br />You have become my #1 go-to blog for spec fic news.<br /><br />Specifically, I want to express my gratitude to this post.<br />I haven't watched the new BSG series yet but realize (once again!) that I should do so soon!<br />This entry is a very helpful guideline for folks like me.<br /><br />Again, thanks! and keep up with the good work!<br /><br />JensJenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623941508503788134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-45181900879489547802016-04-06T20:11:41.409+00:002016-04-06T20:11:41.409+00:00I don't enjoy the show, I've seen a few ep...I don't enjoy the show, I've seen a few episodes due to friends being fans.

Possibly because it is the first "bad" episode of the series after a run of quality episodes that may outstrip any other SFF series in history (28 by that point).<br /><br />Episodes I would rank as considerably inferior to "Black Market":<br /><br />"Hero", "The Woman King", "Unfinished Business", "Dirty Hands", "Sine Qua Non" and "Deadlock" ("Deadlock" gets my vote for worst episode of the entire series by a country mile).Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-23437422077058989912016-04-06T19:27:43.886+00:002016-04-06T19:27:43.886+00:00I didn't hate ending, actually.

I strongly recommend something else, though: <br />Skip Season 2's episode "Black Market" entirely and skip all scenes aboard the Galactica in season 3's "Hero". These are the worst episodes of the whole series.

I hated the ending so passionately that it ruined the whole series for me, despite great effects, stories and acting. 33 always stood out as a particularly great one for me that told me early on that this is not your ordinary SF show. It's real. It's gritty and shows people all up and down the hierarchy as they try to establish themselves after the Cylon attacks. anrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842021568355465913noreply@blogger.com
