POLL: BSG Patron Takes
For those watching the FULL UNCUT reactions of BSG with us here on Patreon
We have always done the episode coming next for Star Trek (episodic) and now we are doing the last posted episode for Game of Thrones (serialized).
Battlestar Galactica seems to be mostly serialized, but still has episodic plots. Would you prefer the takes to be for the episode that last posted or the episode coming up next?

Last posted seems safer, There are so many plots and threads we together you would thought this was a 19th century blanket on a loom It’s too easy to pull the wrong thread and snagged the whole blanket
Just for clarification, you posted the takes as for S1E5... but for the last episode, which was "Act of Contrition," correct? (Where we delve into the Starbuck and Zak backstory) That episode is S1E4, as the miniseries is not counted as part of the Season.
Last posted is preferable for serialized or even semi serialized shows because due to serialization episodes tend to blur together in my mind, asking for patron takes for the next episodes risks getting accidentally spoiled because people think what they talk about will be in this episode when it isn't. This even happened during a cast interview when one of the BSG actors blurted out a spoiler because he assumed it was in the episode he was asked about when in reality it was in the next and hadn't aired yet. Oops.
Last posted because of the episodic nature. I remember the broad strokes but a lot of the minutiae isn’t there.
Catch up with the Gallifrey Gals. They're halfway through Season 2. Or FunnyLilGal's finished the whole thing.
Last posted, but at the very begining you have to do a relly fast talking recap of everything we are about to talk about 🤪
For BSG, last posted is the better option for sure.
Either would be fine, what I would love is, every episode full discussion. Maybe one day. :-)
We will consider it for season 2 if we continue
Last posted would probably be more advisable given the nature of the show.
Last posted but potentially discuss at the end of seasons, or where the mid season breaks were.
We will be doing a discussion at the end of the season if that’s what you mean
Last posted gets my vote just because of how the show progresses.
I'm not voting in this because I don't care about BSG at all, but as the show progresses you're gonna find it becomes less and less episodic. So maybe include that in your considerations.
