I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier last night, and it was AWESOME! I loved the entire film, especially the freeway fight, and the post credits scene (which shows our next two new Avengers members).

I went to go see it earlier, but the digital projector computer thing had a problem and they spent over half an hour trying to reboot it. I shook my head wishing for the days of old school projectors. Anyway, I didn't get to see it because I got to go back to work...I shoulda went to see Sabotage

This one is waaaaay harder than Call of Pripyat, although that game condensed most of its difficulty into that one underground section

I can't believe they're still going through with this. Blood and Chrome, which was actually pretty good, couldn't get picked up as a series, what makes them think anyone will watch either a third incarnation of BSG or a revival of the original?

They're just trying to milk that cash cow even more.

Here's an idea: revive Caprica.

I love BSG and even I couldn't get into Caprica.

I really liked BSG, but I hated the ending. It was terrible, hippy nonsensical.



Anyway, I just saw Winter Soldier today and I like it. Makes me wonder how they are going to tie it into Agents of Shield...which I still don't care for.

I forgive the BSG writers for the finale. They painted themselves into a corner due to the writers strike, and there wasn't much they could do.

I saw a few promos for MAOS, and it looked like whatever happened in Winter Soldier affected the show.

I call bullshit on the logic that because of the writers strike they had no better ideas. Any fan could think of a better ending.

With the writer's strike looming, the producers had to deal with the possibility that the show might end prematurely. The Season 4 midseason finale, "Revelations" (the one where they land on "Earth") was written to be a possible series finale. When the strike ended and the show got another half season, they had to work around the existing "finale." So yes, if you've already written an episode that wrapped everything up in a nice bow, it's a bit difficult to do it again.
