No Takebacks

Do you miss pilots? Do you miss their legendary eye-frakking, bantery, bickering and general awesomeness? Do you want to forget Pigeons of Doom, near-fraks on the table and poofings? Your shippy heart needs to be mended after the BSG finale? Or maybe you were satisfied with Kara and Lee’s ending but you are a pilots junkie in desperate need of your K/L fix? If your answer to any of those questions is a loud yes, you’ve found the right place ;)

Welcome to no_takebacks ! This is a re-watching community for the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. BUT from a different perspective. And what does make us different?, you may wonder. Well, this is a piloty and shippy rewatch, which means that our main interest from now on will be the lyrically epic, gloriously frakked-up and undeniably hot romance between our favorite hotshot viper pilots, Kara and Lee, Starbuck and Apollo. Needless to say, if you don’t like the pairing that’s definitely not the site you are looking for…

We will be featuring one episode per week including all sort of piloty and shippy stuff. And we want to encourage your participation: thinky meta, thought-provoking discussions, picspams, hair reports and all kind of pilotician goodness will be welcome!

The episode of the week will kickoff with a discussion post on Saturday (for more details, check out our schedule below). And once this post is up all members will be welcome to make episode-related postings throughout the week. We intend the discussion post to be of the meta-ish and “serious” variety, but that will be subject to change depending on our feelings towards the episode––I mean, really, do we need deep thoughts about "Final Cut" and the Apollo-in-a-tiny-towel-while-Kara-is-ogling-his-glorious-ass scene?––I vote, er, no ;). Of course, participation is completely voluntary, but we'd love to have your contribution… So if you simply drop in and comment now and then or post lengthy metas every episode, it’s up to you. The more, the merrier… And anything will be muchly appreciated!!!

Our discussions will begin on July 4th and we provisionally plan to go through the first two seasons. As we are not sure if you will be willing––and psychologically prepared––to cross the line of S3, we have decided to leave this issue for later on... So when the right time comes, we’ll take a poll to discuss this topic. On a personal note, though, I’d love to discuss “Unfinished Business”... It is my all time BSG favorite episode and I can’t conceive pilots without it. But S3 is far away, so let’s see how the rewatch goes...
