"turned it into the series’ black sheep."
Is there some wiki I can check that notes what's hot and what's not? I always thought Super Mario Sunshine was well regarded. It got good reviews, it sold well, it rates well on "best of" lists that I've seen. It didn't have Windwakers backlash against its visual style. I…

American for FREEDOM!
To be fair a lot of things are American for FREEDOM!

"And they have a plan."
I think that's what it made it sting so much more when we realized that the writers did not, in fact, have a plan, nor the least bit of a clue what the Cylons plan was. It's like when The X-Files choked on it's own mythos because Chris Carter didn't have a clue where it was going.

If you're going to make off topic swerves to slam other people, at least be accurate. The crime rate of US base residents on Okinawa, military and civilian, is half the rate of Okinawa proper (based on reported incidents, not convictions). Crimes only make headlines because they're rare.

I don't think principal protection was part of the marine training regimen.

As long as it's not dopplered, I assume sound in space is what one of the craft or people experiencing space is hearing. Like the point defense guns firing, for example.

I felt Cotyar's deal was made pretty clear last episode; he's loyal to Earth in general, because he's a former intelligence operative, and very loyal to Avasarala in particular because he got her son killed and she hasn't ripped his throat out. Guilt is powerful glue.

The problem with Jessup's tirade that often gets forgotten is that he wasn't at the wall. He was in command at Guantanamo Bay, a place with little prospect of being an active war front for decades before 1992 (Cuba may not be happy about it, but being suicidal is a charge rarely levied at the Castro regime), and no…

That's in the 4th entry.

It does if you eat some Ricin the morning!

What's that, getting to shake their head knowingly when they read comments by bores like you?

Point of order; he is not a mean father (at least, evidence of such is not presented), he is a mean son.

I started skimming after the 3rd entry, and yep, about 1/2 to 1/3 of the entries were meme bad, not actually, functionally bad.

In my defense, I was 10. I have no idea what my dad was thinking, taking me to see it, though.

Yes, I liked Galactica, but it was pretty clear in retrospect that they ran out of truly great ideas after the fleet reformed in season 3, and that just leaves a bad taste in my memories. The best part of the show was the acting, though, and at least that remained strong, carrying events like the mutiny that felt…

"An object in orbit is already falling"
That's like saying you can't move the furniture because it's already moving as the Earth hurtles through the grim, unforgiving void. And, as noted, a big explosion happened, causing the spacecraft (parts) to fall… out of orbit.

Oh, I'm certain we wouldn't have gone into Iraq, barring some Archdukian event I couldn't possibly be aware of in this alternate timeline, but therefore laying everything that happened there on his sole shoulders - "HE killed 1 million people" - is as ridiculous as blaming Tim Berners Lee for child porn on the World…

Who are you quoting?

It seems likely that there's going to be at least a couple episodes between Calibans War and Abaddons gate. The show hasn't shown a predilection for timeskips beyond a couple weeks of "the ship is being repaired… and now it's done." There are plenty of characters now to catch up with and have plots with who would…

From what we saw they were all prepubescent kids, though who knows what that matters to the protomolecule. It clearly didn't matter to the scientists.
