So what is your question? (The coupon is on the front cover of the issue currently on the stands, you peel it off and the code you need to enter into the "redeem" section of iTunes is on the back of the coupon)

The number 6 that the Pegasus had locked up (Called Gina on the official web site and pod cast but I don't think ever called that on the show itself) was let go by Baltar who also gave her a gun. She shot Cain and then escaped. Baltar gave her a nuclear warhead (The one Adama gave him last season for the "Cylon detector") in a later episode, she has joined the Cylon sympathizers that have shown up in a couple episodes (She wears glasses so I think they are NOT supposed to know that she actually is a Cylon, Like Superman/Clark Kent).The Pegasus is still part of the fleet with The Galactica in command. Apollo has be promoted from Captain to Major and then again to Commander by the newly promoted Admiral Adama. So Admiral Adama commands the Fleet/Galactica and his son Commander Adama (Apollo) commands the Pegasus after it lost 3 of their own commanders (Cain, her XO and her chief Engineer)

I got problems with the new Settlementwhen they found the new
words i woudln't think they would all want ot squat in the same place
that aparntly is more gloomy and rainy then seattle and england
combined 
they should of wanted to spread out and land in the most fertile part so they could start crops right away  
I like that they found a way to make the story go on or extendbut
it's going to be like V now with a resisdence fighting back and some
people acceptingand set up trade between differnt parts but I wonder
how many people are dead there was no talley so many ships were gone
thoughand if the cylons thought they won wouldn't all 12 units show up

Anyone hear about this?

ARRRGH!!! FUCKING TIVO!It cut off the last minute, when Doral / Ressurected GalBoomer / Ressurected Natasi are in Baltar's office, and Doral tells Gaius that they detected a nuclear explosion, and then... *ding* - end of recording.  Fucker. Can someone PM me or post spoiler text of what happened, please?Also - Dr. Manhattan - they said on the settlement that there was 39k+ on the surface, so say there's 1000 people manning the ships in the fleet, it's a little over 40K.  I think - I'm not sure - that the nuke on Cloud 9 not only took out Cloud 9, but it took out a couple of the ships close to it too. That was quite possibly the saddest sex scene I've ever seen in my entire life.I like how everyone was rockin' the long hair/facial hair.  It's the biggest cliche to note the passage of time, but still...OK, Starbuck with long hair = much, much hotter.

Thats probably where they will take the storyline.Tenbat, my Tivo did the same thing although I only lost the last minute. Essentially Gaius says that as president of the Colonies, on behalf of the peopl, he surrenders. Then theres cut screens with all the Galactica regulars (those on the planet) coming out of their tents and looking up to see all the Raiders flying overhead. Then the last shot is a line of metal cylon soldiers (toasters ) marching through the settlement with people on both sides watching. Then it cuts to Starbuck and someone asks her (I think Chief), "So what are going do now?" and she repeats the line she said earlier, "We fight until we can't anymore"..or something like that..

on Caprica because he didn't want to have a baby.  Apparently, he broke
up with her very close to the attacks, which explains his ultra-snippy
mood before his reunion with his dad.Apollo and Dee are a couple.  Dee was cheating on Billy at the time,
and she said "No" when Billy asked her to marry him.  Billy then gave
his life to save Dee and Apollo's during a hostage situation on Cloud 9.Lee was promoted to major, and then to Commander.  He is now the commanding officer of the Pegasus.  The Pegasus went through three C.O.'s after rejoining the fleet - first Cain, then Fisk, who was Cain's XO - Fisk was murdered when he got involved with the Fleet's "black market" mafia organization. The new Pegasus C.O. was the Peg's engineer, who had no people/leadership skills.  He sacrificed himself Wrath-of-Khan style during a Cylon attack.  Lee was the XO of the Peg at the time, and he successfully protected the Peg from more damage. BALTAR:There's a "Peace with the Cylons" movement - think moveon.org, Caprican-style - that Baltar hid Gina in.  The base of their operations was out of Cloud 9.Baltar is convinced that Gina is the second coming of the woman he loved on Caprica, but she's not - all Cylon models have different personalities, considering their life experiences.  The woman on Caprica - Natasi - was ressurrected on Caprica and had a hard time "acclimating" as a "war hero."  She teams up with the resurrected Boomer - the Boomer that Cally shot on Galactica - to change the Cylons' minds.  Apparently. Baltar cured Roslin's cancer by using pre-natal blood (read: Stem cells, cylon style) from Sharon's baby. Baltar convinced Roslin to make abortion illegal (after a pregnant
girl who was being persecutred by her religious people wanted an
abortion) because of how the fleet needs to be repopulated.After Roslin made the announcement, Baltar turned on her, throwing his hat in the ring to run for president.  STARBUCK:Starbuck is now the CAG of Galactica.  She had a personal downward spiral the entire season, being haunted of the memory of Anders, what was left on Caprica.  Cat became Starbuck Jr - bad attitude, great skills.Starbuck tried to drunkenly hatefuck Lee, and he rebuffed her.(BSG seems to have a knack for disturbing sexual scenes... the near-Rape of boomer, the Starbuck/Lee hatefuck, and the Gina/Baltar scene last night) Other stuff: Sharon had the baby, named "Hera".  However, Cottle, Roslin, and Bill Adama all agreed that it was dangerous for a Cylon to raise a child.  They gave the baby over to a woman in the fleet (not telling her what it's REAL heritage was) and telling Helo and Sharon that it had died.  Sharon lost it,  believing that Cottle, et. all "killed" the baby.Racetrack found the "hab-ut-a-buh" planet, which Baltar (and Zarek) used as a platform to run against Roslin.  (And succeeded quite well) Anything I missed?

Pretty sure they listed the population on New Caprica as 39,000 (and change) with a skeleton crew on the remaining ships. So figuring she killed at least a few thousand people as it took out more then 1 ship. I dont see it as being another V, this group of cylons was only a small part of the fleet and it was the one with all the defectors ("Good" #6, Boomer), think thats what the 2 chaplains were trying to setup/explain earlier.

Considering we waited about 14 months between Miniseries and a 10 episode season 1, 6.5 months isn't that bad. The downtime between Season 1 and 2 was very short, but that's because the lead time between Mini and Season 1 was so long. I think we got 20 episodes with a 10 week break between July and March.  The time off is similar to the "non-stop" 24 season, but I think the difference is, Sci-Fi doesn't want to run 20 episodes straight up.

Did anyone see Exodus, Part 1 last night?  Anyone else half-expecting The Oracle to stop licking her hand, jump up and start screaming "Any of you fracking pigs move, and I'll execute every last motherfracking one of you!"Looks like the escape from New Caprica is coming soon.  I thought they'd milk the occupation angle a little longer.One pet peeve I have is with the coming attractions.  If you didn't see them, then don't read any further.  I for one won't be watching them again.  Last week they showed Roslin in the coming attraction, pretty much ruining whatever suspense might have been built up by the "execution".  This week they included a scene in the coming attractions where a Cylon announces that both the Galactica and Pegasus have both just jumped into orbit.  What the fuck!  They just made a big deal on the show about the Pegasus leaving the Galactica.  That's way worse than the snippets of the show they run after the opening credits.  I don't understand what their reasoning is.  I say drop both bits. They're annoying as shit.

Bastards !I'm really sick of New Caprica, I'll be happy when that is put behind and yeah.. the stupid previews give away way too much. What're they down to now, like under 35,000 people? How are you going to get that many people offworld quickly?

Last weeks show was amazing.  A kick ass rescue and a honorable end to the Pegasus.  Everyone is so scattered and scorned, it'll be interesting to see how they put everyone back together on the fleet.  It really is something that the writers pulled off - this time last season it was a totally different crew emotionally.

Another great episode.  Air-lock justice.  It was hard to see Jammer go.  This show really makes you think with the storyline their presenting.  The end of the show was so tense I thought for sure they were going to send the other guy (forget his name right now) out the air-lock too.Starbuck is losing it big time.Funniest line: Lee: I have a date with a jumprope.  Adama: keep jumping!What a frackin' great show.

ok, for a series that I thought was dying, 2 great episodes in a row.  The "Adama Manuver" - still watch it over and over again (from Exodus part 2).  Then the Adama/Lee moment at the end.  Great. This past week - when the Chief sat down with Gata in the mess hall - again - great writing/acting. Good stuff.

The Colonials are polytheistic, and pray to a variety of Gods, which closely resemble how the Greeks and Romans prayed.  (12 gods, Apollo, Athena, Jupiter, etc.)  This is why it's "Oh my gods" or "Gods damnit".Cylons are montheistic, praying to one, single god.There is no "rift" - most of the Cylons we've seen are dedicated to The Plan - God's plan.  Sharon Agathon, although playing for the "good guys", apparently still maintains her belief in one God.

I really, really liked the touch of Lee spitting blood out of his mouth as he professed his "missing" of Kara. I'm really surprised how deep they twisted the knife with Lee, and it explains his weight gain too... I mean, I thought Kara wouldn't have screamed how much she loved Lee, and that would have done it, but she said the words - and I think she meant it.

Fans were VERY split on this episode.  A lot of people complained that "nothing happened" and calling it the second coming of "Black Market", while others were just going crazy about how great an episode it was.  Of course, people who write fanfiction were falling over themselves, because it's quite honestly, a "'ship" fanfic brought to reality.  And done quite well, IMHO. Personally, I like the Starbuck/Apollo relationship, and I think people who hate Starbuck never have been in a relationship, past or present, with someone who's been abused and abandoned.  Some of my past relationships have included girls who are "damaged" and I see a lot of them in Starbuck.  A good person, just a lot of issues.I think Apollo thinks he can either fix or heal Starbuck, which is why he's in love with her.

I don't think Katee S. is hot-hot-hot attractive.  But that look she gave Lee in the Raptor... good lord. Starbuck's whole "I took a vow but adultery is OK" is weak.  Didn't like that.  Kind of foreshadows that either Anders or Dee is getting killed.I find it curious that Dee is on the surface yet Helo is not.  In fact, I find it weird that they have about 50 people on the surface, they have raptors, and they can't give emergency coordinates for a raptor to jump to in case something like this happens.Meh, I'm nitpicking again.  It was an all right episode.  Not great, but I'm sure the resolution will be better.

Final five speculation - D'anna, upon viewing one of the faces of the final five, said, "I'm sorry, I had no idea" or something similar. This means Danna had to have had contact and/or knew of one of the five. This leads to several possibilites - Gaeta - treated him like shit as Baltar's assistant and whipping boy.Starbuck - allowed the leoben mindfuck.Cally - ordered her deathMaya - died on New Caprica  (but not big enough of a character for a holy shit reveal)Cottle - Just because I'd like to see Cottle have a heel turn.

I have to say, very good writers on the show.  It is painful to watch the interaction between The Admiral and Lee.  I am not a big suspension of disbeleif person, but this show does it for me.  There is alway some plot twict lurking in the background, all the shows are intersting.

I really did not buy hoy that whole trial concluded. Not that i think that the not guilty was impossible, nor do I think that Lee's argument was shit; rather, it was exactly what I was thinking. No, but the way they just gave Lee a soapbox was unbelievable. When started his thing somebody mentioned that this could wait for closing arguments. Then when he's finished, trial over, forget those closing arguments mentioned THREE MINUTES AGO. And forget that he was supposed to be up there to argue for a mistrial and never got close.

And I can't fucking take the lyrics. Holy shit, that was the corniest thing I've ever seen or heard. Was it really fucking necessary to integrate it into the dialogue? And that was a fucking awful cover of the song.

I've been saying this before, Tigh is not a cylon. The key here is that Tory, Anders, Tigh, and Tyrol *THINK* they are Cylons. Tyron's been thinking he's been a cylon since he found out Boomer was one.

As per Bear McCreary:

I happened to catch Ron Moore in the hallway at Universal and, in a brief conversation, got everything I needed to know. I learned that the idea was not that Bob Dylan necessarily exists in the characters' universe, but that an artist on one of the colonies may have recorded a song with the exact same melody and lyrics. Perhaps this unknown performer and Dylan pulled inspiration from a common, ethereal source. Therefore, I was told to make no musical references to any "Earthly" versions, Hendrix, Dylan or any others. The arrangement needed to sound like a pop song that belonged in the Galactica universe, not our own.

I frackin' loved this season finale.

When Tigh first said, "There must be someway out of here"... I thought, did he just quote Dylan? And then when they all started singing the song, I was thrown - and excited. I thought the song worked great. The version doesn't matter, it's the fact that they recognized it "from childhood".

I thought this puts Galactica's timeline in perspective - that it is in the future. In fact, it got me thinking that the original colonies on Kobol, three thousand years ago, were in fact from Earth. The human species is just coming back around to where it started. They've probably had conflicts with a Cylon type problem before - why they left Kobol, why they left the colonies... but in regards to the song. Maybe they'll find out they are all some kind of cylon-human hybrid, which came from Earth in the first place. So many possibilities.

And I thought Apollo's speech was great. It had to be said and like the Admiral said, the defense made it's point.

2008!!! Damn it. I look forward to this past season coming out on DVD.

Furtherman

03-26-2007, 10:48 AM

Here is how I see it.

Earth, sometime in the future, is filled to capacity. We have to colonize other planets. We colonize Kobol. We create an android race as help, certainly slave-like once they become aware. Wars are fought, humans leave again to form the colonies. To prevent the same mistakes, the new generations are told of gods and humans upsetting them and that we should never upset them again. Thousand of years pass. Wars are forgotten. The past turns to legend, myth. We create cylons again. Another war - the cylons leave - to their homeland. But maybe they come across the cylons of Kobol, which have evolved. They look human. They are able to slip into human colonies. Reproduce. Choose to be humanlike. Hybrids are born.

But the pure cylons attack and send humans on the run again. This time to Earth. They reach Earth, with human and human-cylon alike. Thousands of years pass. Wars are fough, wars are forgotten. The past turns to legend, myth. We create cylons again... all this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

Anybody thinking about the [extra-dimensional] race of beings from the "Light Ships" in the original series? Couldn't they have saved Starbuck, taken her to Earth, and be tied to the relatives of Tigh, Anders, etc.? They were an advanced race that could have an advanced "connection" similar to what the Cylons have.

It might explain the connection between all five but still have the final five Cylons hanging aound out there (meaning we were just rope-a-doped).

I also like Furtherman's idea that people from Earth colonized Kobol, then moved to the 12 colonies, and now are on the way back to Earth. Nice symmetry.

Doctor Manhattan

03-27-2007, 05:29 AM

I don't think I totally understand why the four people who heard "All Along the Watchtower" in the ship came to the conclusion that they were Cyclons. They didn't seem to think so until they saw the others in that room. Anders and Chief shared the fact that they both heard the music before hand but didn't seem to think "We're Cylons" until they saw Tigh and Tori.

Furtherman

03-27-2007, 05:42 AM

And what a great scene that was! Tigh walking in and saying "Nooooo frackin' way!" was just perfect.

They realized they were the only ones who heard the song - and knew it, as a memory. It was embedded in their minds.

Like Tyrol said, "So that's it. After all this time a switch is flipped."

He saw that happen with Boomer. To them, such a strange coincidence in their circumstances could only mean one thing - they're cylons. Although I think there is more too it - they may be human-cylon hybrids.

I've been saying this before, Tigh is not a cylon. The key here is that Tory, Anders, Tigh, and Tyrol *THINK* they are Cylons. Tyron's been thinking he's been a cylon since he found out Boomer was one.

The BSG writers have been quoted as saying that these characters are in fact Cylons.

Last weekend, I caught up on the last three eps, and I really, really enjoyed them. Loved Lampkin (love characters with a Scottish accent - I assume it was Scottish), and Lee's actions with the trial, although his "testimony" was BS as others say. As soon as he started talking, I knew Admiral Adama would vote not guilty. Someone owes someone an apology.

With regard to the final five cylons, hasn't the show said that these Cylons were boxed up? So even the other seven cylon types don't know who they are, and thus, these guys aren't part of the same movement against the colonies?

Who's the fifth cylon? You got to figure that the fact that they are holding one in reserve means it's one of the top four people - Roslin, Papa Adama or Son, Starbuck.

Battlestar Galactica's search for Earth continues to be an open-ended adventure, executive producer David Eick said.

Contrary to comments by Edward James Olmos (Adm. Adama) at the Saturn Awards on May 10, no end has been announced for the award-winning show. Battlestar Galactica is preparing to film its fourth season, one that will include 22 episodes, rather than the previously announced 13.

"For those of you who have been paying attention over the years, this is not the first time Eddie has made an announcement about the possibility of the show's end," chuckled Eick. "I promise you that when [executiuve producer] Ron [Moore] and I make a decision about Galactica's future, we'll let you know.""

I have finally got all caught up on this series. Started out in Mid May and finally finished watching all of Season 3 tonight. Having seen that final episode of the season I have to scream out loud "what the fuck!?!?" These guys must be on some sort of acid as they write this show. And you have to be kidding me with the whole "All along the watchtower" reference.

Ok in answer to your question...it is clear that Starbuck is the 5th. It wont be Apollo for the simple reason that he is the son of Adama. So that also rules out Adama. Roslin is a very, very long shot, but the possibility is there due to the dream she was having (the one involving her and Sharon Agathon.) I say it is a very long shot. The only thing I dont like about the chief being a Cylon is that they said the cylons were having a hard time impregnating females. So how the fuck are they going to explain the chiefs kid? I also found it curious that the cylons are hooking up with cylons. The presidents advisor and Sam, Starbuck and the other cylon (mind you there is no confirmation of Starbuck as a cylon, but it is what I am running with.)

The question is what Earth are they going to find?? An ancient Earth, or one that is closer to the one we know today?? Or even better, will that Earth they find be a space faring people almost to an equivelance of Galactica's technology?? These are questions that season 4 will answer.

I have to admit that I want to see this Razor episode, but I feel not as much excitement for season 4 as I did for the previous ones. I still am tripped out by the 3rd ending with them all singing "All along the watchtower." Does that mean Bob Dylan came from one of the 12 colonies??

All Along The Watchtower is the reason I'm extremely excited. You have to think about when they could be in our timeline. Watchtower is an old song. So they must be in the future. Our future. Which means humans, which started on Earth, spread out across the glaxy. Somewhere along the line Cylons were created. Created by man. A man implanted that song into the cylons - maybe a genetic code passed down through generations until the cylon - which at this point may be a half human/half cylon hybrid (Just like the Chief, Tyrol, Anders and Cheryl) - triggers it. Maybe when they get close to Earth.

My theory is that the humans, which are seeking Earth, are actually coming full circle, and they actually returning to Earth. Therefore an artifact of the past - the Dylan song - is a marker.

It's kind of hard to write down (I may have before in this thread), but that's how I see it going - which I think would be brilliant. Like the one Cylon said: "All this happened before, all of this will happen again."

All Along The Watchtower is the reason I'm extremely excited. You have to think about when they could be in our timeline. Watchtower is an old song. So they must be in the future. Our future. Which means humans, which started on Earth, spread out across the glaxy. Somewhere along the line Cylons were created. Created by man. A man implanted that song into the cylons - maybe a genetic code passed down through generations until the cylon - which at this point may be a half human/half cylon hybrid (Just like the Chief, Tyrol, Anders and Cheryl) - triggers it. Maybe when they get close to Earth.

My theory is that the humans, which are seeking Earth, are actually coming full circle, and they actually returning to Earth. Therefore an artifact of the past - the Dylan song - is a marker.

It's kind of hard to write down (I may have before in this thread), but that's how I see it going - which I think would be brilliant. Like the one Cylon said: "All this happened before, all of this will happen again."

I know where you are coming from on this - it makes a lot of sense that the Galactic timeline could be in our future. People from Earth stretch out into the stars and end up settling on Cobol (at least one group anyway). Then as that population increases they spread out further and form the 12 colonies. Ultimately the "13th colony" leaves to find Earth, although they are actually returning to Earth.

Now the survivors of the war are trying to find an Earth that has become part of their mythology because hundreds (or thousands) of years have passed and the knowledge that Humanity originally came from Earth was lost. Everybody thinks that Cobol was their home planet, but Cobol was really just a "colony."

It's something to think about anyway...
