That was not my favorite time for the series either. I am rewatching it to see if I missed anything.

The Apollo losing weight that fast really got to me too! Definitely not realistic there! In reality, I think they just got tired of having him put on all that makeup - and they didn't want to spend the money on in-between phases of makeup... Irked me a bit though since I have been battling my own weight! I even posted about it on my weight-loss board! lol!
I, however, really liked a lot of the post-New-Caprica episodes. Granted, season 3 did have some episodes I didn't care as much for, but I really, really liked A LOT of them. It seemed like after New Caprica they just started full steam heading towards EArth and you got all sorts of clues, etc., towards it. Previous to that they were just out there without really a course as much... Afterwards, though, they really kept moving along the trail of clues. THAT I really liked!

I shall be pounding through some more of them this weekend.
Yes, and Apollo also looked like he had moth balls in his mouth. The actor was in such good shape(no complaints on the sweet Ab shot we got to see that fact either
) in RL that it never really looked like right to me. This is perhaps another reason the ended that agony quickly. But that whole storyline was a bit painful to see.

He did look like he had mothballs in his mouth... I actually thought he looked believable fat, though... But, I'm sure his appeal to certain ladies did cause it to get over with quickly. I did think that it was a REALLY good indicator of the state of affairs all the Colonials were in after a year on New Caprica though... Which I suppose is the important thing...

I don't think the show got cancelled. They still wanted them for another season, but they wanted to end it there...

Yes, I don't see many shows wanting to off the air after only 4 seasons.
I am now up to when Starbuck slept with Appollo and married Anders the next day flashback ep. The boxing match was not my cup of tea, but it was a well written ep.

Yes, but I liked the way Adama handled the crew but having the chief beat the crap out of him.

Yeah, I didn't care much for Starbuck's cheating... But, yeah, I did like how Adama handled the crew with the boxing, etc. Like you, the boxing thing wasn't my thing either...

Me either, Arwen.
I now have come to the two parter eps that are bad insanely bad.............way too much cheating with those two. And insanely good................Looking for the eye of Jupiter, stand-off with the cylons, Sharon having Helo kill her so she can go get her daughter after Boomer tells her she is still alive.
What I mean to say is that I see why the fan base is so huge and so loyal for this show. It was able to merge the genres and often still make an interesting ep out of it for both types of fans. Tons of shipping and sex all over the place but still very heavy on science fiction and action in general at the same time.

Yeah, didn't care much for all the cheating... But, I really enjoyed the Eye of Jupiter stuff! and the stuff with Sharon getting her baby back! That was great!
I can see what you mean about appealing to both camps - and I think they definitely did that throughout the entire series...

Yes, many other shows have tried to do the same and did not fare as well.

I got through to the ep with the strike this weekend. I was kinda eyerolling at some points, but the end was quick enough. I did like the last bit with Starbuck and her "Nuggets" speech.

Has Apollo become a politician yet?

I am just getting to that ep. I agree. I hated those eps. I am just pushing through them and trying to pay more attention to the other things that were happening at the time. I now know that Starbuck is actually dead. The one that comes back will not be real.

Season three is like that - the pain from the constant eyerolling gets hard to bear.
