ooc: Millicon canonshare

Hey, y'all. :) Millicon is, er, fast approaching, and according to the schedule, we get to show an episode of BSG between 11pm and 12am on Thursday night.

Which begs the question: which one are we going to show?

I'm planning on bringing my DVDs and my external hard drive. Between the two of those, I have everything current covered (except for the webisodes, but why show some of those when we can show an episode?).

My suggestion for the episode to show is 'The Hand of God' -- it's early on enough that people won't be too lost, and it's got nearly every in-bar character in it except for (I think) Leoben. Tone-wise I think it also does a good job of getting at why BSG is awesome and why everybody should watch it. *grins*

(And if not that episode, my vote is for either 'Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down' or 'Final Cut' -- the former because it's The Only Funny Episode, and the latter because I like the documentary style.)

Thoughts? Other suggestions? And a note -- even if you can't make it to Chicago, please chime in. :D That way it will be more like you are there!

Oh, thanks for asking! Um. I'm fine with this one for the reasons you mention, although I do hate the lack of Leoben.

Most of my favorites are two-part episodes or need really good understanding of series to stand alone, so I'm not going to suggest a different one except to maybe say that I really really hate Ellen Tigh and so can't stand that episode. But I'm happy to be overruled!

Do you (er, we) get to show a full hour or just one episode? If it's a full hour, maybe could someone play the Starbuck-Leoben-Roslin "airlock scene" from 'Flesh and Bone'?

-- oh that is an awesome suggestion re. Leoben. *makes note!*

(You just made Ellen Tigh very sad. D:)

Glad I could help!
