Tonight's episode - A Disquiet Follows My Soul

What happens when you spend a frantic many years running from killer robots of your own creation (or are they?) seeking salvation on a planet called Earth, losing a good portion of the remaining members of your race along the way, only to find that this mythical Earth is a little bit less than suitable for people?  I can't wait to find out!

Man, doesn't Planet Raptor look good? 

Anyone? 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 09:16 PM

Hmm, can't imagine how this "Moonlight" show didn't become an instant pop culture sensation. It's got that woman, you know, from that Dr. Who episode with the mirrors and robots and fireplaces? And vampires. Everybody loves those.

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 09:39 PM

monlight = really bad

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 09:44 PM

do you do live blogging on here or use a different site?

Posted by English on 01/23/09 at 09:45 PM

@English here

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 09:46 PM

ok well i cant do it since im on the west coast.

Posted by English on 01/23/09 at 09:47 PM

What other sites are there?  

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 09:47 PM

usteam or something i dont know.

Posted by English on 01/23/09 at 09:47 PM

holy christ....Moonlight is horrible

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 09:48 PM

wow....that is some fiercely bad greenscreen work

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 09:50 PM

Oh, okay.  Yeah, we just use the threads on the site for liveblogging BSG, Smallville, Lost, and Heroes. Ustream is used for POW show recording, and only on occasion.  

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 09:50 PM

Hmm, so the vampire-dude's sire(ess) is Shannnn Sossamon, who was really, really good in The Rules of Attraction.  So it's got that going for it. Which is nice.

And now there's cheesy Six Million Dollar man effects as vimpire dude runs after the car.

Yeah, this show kinda sucks.  

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 09:52 PM

just about time...huzzah!

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 09:54 PM

ooooh....emo vampire

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 09:58 PM

here we go

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:00 PM

Toaster Time!

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:00 PM

I just caught my cat drinking out of the toilet. I'm taking that as a good sign for tonight's episode.

I don't know why, but I am. 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:00 PM

god, I sorta forgot abot Callie....that sucked

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:01 PM

Damnit, the hotel I'm in doesn't have scifi

Posted by SixGun on 01/23/09 at 10:02 PM

Doc Cottle is awesome

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:03 PM

They're getting ever last use out of "frak" this season, huh?

Posted by MrCavanagh on 01/23/09 at 10:03 PM

So if Tigh is a Cylon ..Why didn't his eye grow back?

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:03 PM

uh oh...Gaeda just got crazy eyes

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:06 PM

Apollo is not very good with the reporters

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:07 PM

crazy ex-superspy/killer/badass Liam Neesam hunting down the people who kidnapped his daughter....I'm in

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:09 PM

Agreed, Taken looks great. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:10 PM

Who ever thought that Tigh would be the one to end up with Six? Honestly?

Posted by MrCavanagh on 01/23/09 at 10:11 PM

Than Neesam  fellow, he was Rob Roy, y'know.

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:11 PM

Ha, how appropriate that Lee's podium gaffe came just two days after Biden's real-life podium gaffe.

Posted by Paradiddle on 01/23/09 at 10:12 PM

crap...is that an official sequel to the original Hallmark Merlin miniseries?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:12 PM

"Maybe you'd like a chart to keep it all straight" - HA!

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:14 PM

Gaeda has gone all bitter-hardcore on us

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:15 PM

Felix quit freaking people out...

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:15 PM

man. the Chief's kid is chubby

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:17 PM

oh shit

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:17 PM

wow...Callie was a hussy...who woulda thunk it

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:17 PM

who is the father?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:18 PM

@ CaptainPrimate   Gaeda?

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:19 PM

Place your bets now, folks...before they die!

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:19 PM

You need to ingest the pills for them to do anything. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:20 PM

@piscespal that would be messed up

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:20 PM

@piscespaul or maybe Gaius

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:21 PM

I don't understand how Planet Raptor wasn't first released theatrically. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:21 PM

I repeat: Planet Raptor looks AWESOME.

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:21 PM

Hopefully the answer to the paternity puzzle is a reasonable one and not a sensational retcon.  I'm skeptical. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:22 PM

@RobAbsten if by awesome you really mean horrifying (and not in a good way)

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:22 PM

Planet Raptor? Who the HELL is greenlighting these godawful SciFi Original Movies? Why don't they actually try to make a good one, for once?

Posted by Paradiddle on 01/23/09 at 10:22 PM

It's okay to be scared.

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:22 PM

I believe in the interstellar raptor.  Have faith. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:23 PM

I really don't need another Friday the 13th movie

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:23 PM

@PaulMontgomery Because they were too busy remaking Friday The 13th.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:23 PM

Awesome as in "cheap, direct to DVD with a quick SciFi pitstop first." That kinda awesome. 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:23 PM

She looks like a pirate at the gym. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:24 PM

You know how I know I'm old? The mom in those AT&T "old minutes" ads? The blonde? I find her very attractive. Hot, even. 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:25 PM

@PaulMontgomery avast ya scallywags..

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:25 PM

I thinka Wii Fit would do her some good instead of those stretches.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:25 PM

oooh....Gaeda is gonna get the crap kicked out of him

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:26 PM

"A pity frak"...epic

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:27 PM

Half-Kicks, haha!

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:27 PM

Apparently Gaeta's sense of restraint was located in that foot. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:28 PM

so...are they still orbiting earth?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:29 PM

Gaeda is having himself a gay old time. *rimshot*

Posted by MrCavanagh on 01/23/09 at 10:30 PM

uh oh...Zareck has got his eyes on the presidency again.

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:31 PM

No gay jokes, please. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:31 PM

Some of my friends won't go see Taken with because they claim Liam Neesan dies in all the films they watch.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:32 PM

Uh, does Carl there have 4 seperate cell plans or something?

 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:32 PM

I have seen Taken already. But I don't know how or where... It's bothering me. 

Posted by DrkN on 01/23/09 at 10:33 PM

@psyguy411 - They need to watch Love Actually. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:33 PM

tennis is silly

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:33 PM

So, odds Zarek makes it through the episode alive?

Posted by Devastron on 01/23/09 at 10:34 PM

Dear State Farm: You know that place where stupid-ass ad campaign meets frustrated, pissed-off consumer? 

I'm there. I'm calling Geico tomorrow.  

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:35 PM

that is some fierce tooth brushing

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:35 PM

Odds that someone's dead before the end of this episode

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:35 PM

@Paul I wanted to tell them that, but I dunno if they'd take my man card, haha.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:36 PM

really?  should they be having that conversation in the hallway?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:37 PM

Take your hands off me, Bill.

 

Harsh. 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:37 PM

"fraking blah blah" great line

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:37 PM

Did Roslin really just "blah blah" this whole trip to Earth?

Posted by MrCavanagh on 01/23/09 at 10:38 PM

@psyguy - They're gonna have to take Conor's and my man cards first.  Love Actually rules. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:38 PM

live Adama...live!

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:38 PM

christ...Gaius is running Jonestown

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:39 PM

Baltar has turned into the radio philosopher from Northern Exposure. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:40 PM

Rev. Jim Jones? On Galactica? 

Oh, sorry Dr. Baltar.

And anyone else find it funny that they have FTL capability but still use reel to reel? 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:40 PM

Or maybe Clancy Jones from Carnivale. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:40 PM

oh no way

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:41 PM

@Paul- Oh, I agree. I love that movie.
Hotdog? The father?

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:41 PM

its hotdog?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:41 PM

Okay, that I buy. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:41 PM

giggle 

Posted by DrkN on 01/23/09 at 10:41 PM

yeah. thats what church was like growing up....dude up front with the sermons...people in the back kicking the crap out of each other.

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:42 PM

Wow, its all falling apart really quick.

Posted by Devastron on 01/23/09 at 10:42 PM

Did she relish her time with Hotdog?  Tyrol didn't cut the mustard. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:42 PM

wow...if the tilium ship jumps....they are screwed

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:43 PM

Zareck is a royal pain in the ass

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:44 PM

Hee hee, Bill's a funny guy.

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:45 PM

I want to say "Son Of A Bitch" like Tigh...he's got a knack for it.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:45 PM

@Paul - *groan*

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:45 PM

Is it time for another military coup?

Posted by Devastron on 01/23/09 at 10:45 PM

Rise of the Lycans?  Yeah, not so much

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:46 PM

Btw Paul your jokes were too punny.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:46 PM

@piscespaul -  You're right.  That wasn't kosher. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:46 PM

BSG is the Walking Dead of T.V.

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:47 PM

Is that Lifelock emcee Sigourney Weaver?

mmmm, maybe not. But close. so close. 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 10:48 PM

poor Tyrol

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:49 PM

seriously, is Tyroll gonna walk away from his boy that easily?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:50 PM

I think it's more of a My Two Dads situation. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:51 PM

Ot Two and a Half Men.  Or One and a Half Men and a Cylon. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:52 PM

Okay, so Adama's going to be having a heart attack soon. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:54 PM

Oh Adama you magnificent bastard.

Posted by Devastron on 01/23/09 at 10:54 PM

laundry reports....that Adama...he's one wiley guy

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:54 PM

And that's how Adama makes you talk....reminds me...I need to call my father.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:54 PM

uh oh...Gaeda and Zareck...this ain't gonna end well

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:55 PM

oh crap....fracking Gaeda ...smarmy lil SOB

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:55 PM

Felix, you opportunistic bastard. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:56 PM

uuuuuh...ok?

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:56 PM

unsee! unsee!

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:56 PM

ok that was a stratling scene cut

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:56 PM

This image could be used for evil.  And by evil, I mean Adama/Picard slash fiction. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:57 PM

i meant startling

Posted by piscespaul on 01/23/09 at 10:57 PM

He prevents(Liam) bad movies or invents good roles in not-so-good movies.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 10:58 PM

my prediction for the coming episodes...Starbuck is gonna finish what she started and toss Gaeda's ass out of the nearest lock

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:59 PM

 OH YEAH!  Tigh and Adama kicking ass

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 10:59 PM

It's 'Gaeta' with a 't.'  Otherwise I wouldn't get to call him 'Wally Gaeta."  And I need that pun in my life. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 10:59 PM

Next episode looks badass. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 11:00 PM

well, that was fun kids...see you next week

Posted by CaptainPrimate on 01/23/09 at 11:01 PM

I don't think Felix is the guy you want leading a mutiny....kinda screwed up in the last one he was in. I think he'll stumble in this one, too.

Posted by mcbaker on 01/23/09 at 11:03 PM

Dear Scifi, ever hear of a thing called a spoiler? And no, no the one on the back of your Camaro.

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 11:03 PM

I think the writing staff of BSG has a pirate fettish.  There's an eye patch.  A fake leg.  And a head scarf.  There is also booty. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 01/23/09 at 11:06 PM

@Paul. That was fucking funny.

 

Posted by RobAbsten on 01/23/09 at 11:08 PM

This wasn't my favorite episode by any stretch of the imagination.  Still the reveal about the baby was pretty juicy and there were some good character moments, but both the dialogue and the situations felt forced.  The next one will probably be better. 

Posted by icn1983 on 01/24/09 at 10:39 AM

@Paul-A man card for watching Love Actually? Is it next to the one you got for Bridget Jones Diary?

Posted by k5blazer on 01/24/09 at 01:08 PM

Due to Roslin basically giving up and the ominous pill popping by Adama, do you think there is any way that Adama is the 'dying leader'? Especially that he is now pushing them to their new home?

Posted by JonCrites on 01/24/09 at 04:17 PM

@JonCrites   Do you think the prophecies are still going to come true?  I'd kind of like it if they turned out to be total BS.

I really liked this episode, since I love the political aspect of the show the best.  And I was so happy to see Richard Hatch.  I hope Zarek has a substantial role in the rest of the season. 

 

 

Posted by ohcaroline on 01/24/09 at 09:57 PM

I finally got to watch this late last night.  This episode was fantastic, I enjoyed it way more than last week's premiere which I liked a lot as it is.

This mutiny is going to lead to some great stuff.

Posted by conor on 01/25/09 at 03:58 PM

Kind of disappointing to me, not much action at all. Pretty much a setup episode. They should spend more time on Earth excavating and trying to figure out what happened. Maybe they can find some old news footage or something that will explain what happened and why all the dead bodies they found are cylon skin-jobs buried with mechanical cylon helmets. I bet they won't ever explain it.

Posted by IroncladMerc on 01/25/09 at 05:57 PM

Absolutely fantastic.  I just gave this a watch while reading the comments so I could feel like I was 'there'.

Posted by SamMacBastard on 01/25/09 at 07:40 PM

So the whole fleet has to go back to the island or Gaeta is going to...

oops  wrong show 

Seriously, this was pretty much a perfect set-up episode for some seriously good tv over the next few weeks.

Posted by BatStewie on 01/26/09 at 12:47 PM

Gaeta must go down, and he must go down hard.  Roslin needs to get off her ass.  Obama would never jog during a mutiny.  (Or if he did, he'd be on his cellphone.)  What happened to the balls Lee Adama grew last year?  I'd love to see him seize control of the military and the presidency.

Great episode!
