Galatica: A Farewell

Bummed that we don't get any more Galactica? Ok, the new prequel movie "The Plan" nonwithstanding...it won't have most of the cast anyway, and though the movie is about Cylons, Lucy Lawless will not appear.

Thinking of rewatching the show from the beginning? Ready to drink yourself into oblivion, Tigh Style? Here are a few ways to pass the time, and survive BSG withdrawl.

The Battlestar Drinking game:

1. Every time Gaius gets caught talking to Fantasy Six, take a drink


2. Chug your drink if Adama cries. Chug two if he drools.


3. Drink every time Starbuck rejects Anders.


4. Chug your drink when someone yells "Gods Damnit!"


5. Drink whenever someone on the show takes a drink.


6. Dump your drink whenever, even in a moment of weakness, you think Tory is cooler than Billy.


7. Every time Grace Park appears on screen, yell out which copy of Number 8 you think she is. If you're wrong, take a drink.


8. Make up a toast every time someone says "toaster."


9. Drink every time you think Adama is so lucky to have a woman as lovely as Roslin. Also take a drink whenver you think Mary McDonnell was robbed for an Emmy.


10. Take TWO drinks if you still are displeased as to the identity of the Final Cylon. Then get with the times...


11. Drink whenever you think you hear Jamie Bamber's british accent.


12. Drink whenever you wonder how LOST gets better ratings. (For the record, I, Hylas, would be collapsed on the floor within about five minutes)


13. Drink whenever you get weirded out by the Caprica Six/Tigh Relationship.


14. Take a drink whenever Starbuck has a mood swing.


15. Chug your drink whenever you think about Ron Moore's hair.


16. Drink every time someone says "skinjob."

I'm currently working on a BSG hangover game to follow up. It's not going well at the moment.

Also, if you're still confused as to the complex backstory, check this out:

This sums it up rather well, I think, with a few minor errors. They are obvious enough to spot. If not, email me.

And if you still have questions about the finale, check out this interview with Ron Moore & David Eick.

Maureen Ryan also has a good chat with Moore here.

Both articles feature spoilers, of course. That said, let's face it, if you are reading this now, you've seen it all.

And, just so we have hope...

All this has happened before, and will happen again. At least one more time, anyway...
