The old thread was getting fat. Fat like a certain Viper pilot before the Atkins. So I've taken the liberty of starting a delicious new one!

To start: Eye-candy for any gender!

pic_03.jpg

pic_02.jpg

So the show is on break until January. Things to discuss til then: What exactly is the eye of Jupiter? Who might the final 5 cylons be? When Baltar makes love, does he talk dirty?

Remember guys. This spoiler is for things we've seen which could potentially ruin a new viewers enjoyment of the show.
No arguments about how they shouldn't be reading a thread about a show if they don't want it spoiled.

And this one is for things that have not yet appeared on screen, but we know (or are very certain) to be true.

[realspoiler]The final five is your MOM.[/realspoiler]

Discuss!

    I would like to point out that Apollo is the only real man eye candy now. Baltar has become so pathetic, and Helo was only marginal to start with. As for the rest? Lemon party.

    It always makes me sad when I discover a new show, and find they're not covering it, like Dexter, or Nip/Tuck. They could do wonders with the amount of silliness on Nip/Tuck.

    Yeah, Tigh's pretty awesome with that drunken Irish gruff. "The old man won't just leave us to the Cylons." Lee is okay, but I can't stand it when British actors have to hide their accent. Bamber is just marginally better at it than, say, Hugh Jackman... but not quite on par with Hugh Laurie.

    I just noticed that nearly all of them have paired up with each other.

    [spoiler:3e8765d7cf]Adama with Roslin, Lee with Starbuck, Helo with Sharon and Baltar with both Number Three and Six. But seeing as how he recently broke it off with Six, it's reasonable to assume that Tigh will drop his prejudices and get some of that blonde Cylon poon.[/spoiler:3e8765d7cf]

    He was most definitely Blanders. That whole little arc with him on Caprica with Starbuck and Helo had me hating the character. But as soon as we actually start to see him without Starbuck around, he suddenly turns into this really interesting, badass character. He's definitely turning into one of my favourite characters of the show.

    Originally he just seemed like a stand in for Lee, but ever since 3.01 he's been one of my favorite characters. I feel bad for him now though, especially since, "you think your the first guy.."

    Nah, he let it show a bit last episode. There was just something about his pronunciation that seemed awkward, almost forced. Maybe it was all that oil they were wearing.

    And yes, Masume, I know Jackman is Aussie; I was referring to foreign actors in general who have to fake an American accent. Also, Renée Zellweger does the worst British. Like watching high school Shakespeare.

    I will reiterate that Chief Tyrol is most definitely the manliest of men on BSG, and that he could tear all those sissy-ass officers apart with his bare hands. He's man candy for those who like real men.

    Anders, though, is a close second.
