Idk about you but I find it way more fulfilling to make it more narratively structured. We’re all telling a story together, what better way to get everyone in the mindset then to give a recap with a little soul? Takes me about 20-30min tops to make a solid draft and it helps me organize my thoughts about story beats/the larger arc.
If your table is all about function over form than that’s great, do it your way! Some of us like a little ~* showmanship *~ and mood setting.
It’s also a great opportunity for creativity. Try having a specific character recap things, it’s fun.
Some of the acting is kind of cringe/over the top theatrical but it really is such a great show.
The mini series that launched it is particularly hard to watch except Adama’s speech about whether they deserved to survive (before the attack) and Gaius when he realized what was happening as nukes literally fell around him. That was so, so intense. Really foreshadows how critical those two characters’ performances would become for the show.

Elevates the recap from this
To this
That episode of BSG was so fun. Such a great wind up and delivery of awesome sci fi action
I started another re-watch this week and I’ve missed hearing Previously, on Battlestar Galactica.
