Sci-Fi is just all fucked up beyond repair.

I read a multi-page press release detailing all of their new shows, both regular (and mid-season), as well as their new mini-series and "original" (read: straight-to-video b-movie clunkers they've bought the rights to) movie projects, and frankly, there's little there to look forward too.

I hate to keep going on about it, but I must: They cancelled Farscape for this.

THIS. DRIVEL.

I used to work with someone who did work for Sci-fi's website and was in touch with an executive there. Just seems that scifi is losing alot of money and are doing what they can to stem the flow.

And as for Farscape, it was a complete money loser and even at the end, after all the save farscape bruhaha, no one was actually watching it.

Whatever.

Farscape was the best sci-fi show since Babylon 5. It was the only GOOD show Sci-Fi has had.....well, maybe in its entire existence.

They're losing money? Good. I haven't watched the channel at all since Farscape ended earlier this year.

Actually, you have two watch the final eps of 1980 for what are prolly the best eps in the run of either show.

And remember, the main character for 1980 was Brady Bunch's cousin Oliver.

That's BLASPHOMY! If I hear it from you again I will get step ladder climb up it and smack you.

But all kidding aside, it was not that bad. One of the things I liked was how Adama was more of a "This is War and if we kill 100 men to save 1,000 then do it" attitude. His relationship with his son was very shakey instead of the love-fest we had in the first series.
I liked the look of the new cylons, but I still prefered the old look cylons. (did you notice the schematics of them when the opening scene was shot)
I think we will get amuch better look tonight as to what is going to take shape.
They are showing last nights at 7 pm tonight as well.
But the jury is still out on this one. I am not dissappointed, but not excited either. let's see what tonight brings

And the Cylon in the Muesem on BG.

The old Baltar conspired with the enemy to destroy the colonies

I also didn't watch the original series (or the 1980 one) very closely. Just saw bits and pieces.

Why did Baltar join the Cylons? From the little I did see he seemed to be leading the Cylons. Did he control them?

And is this show set in the future of that old show? They said something about Cylons haven't been seen or heard from in 40 years. IS the old show the old Cylon War they kelt saying was over? (that war actual kept development of technology from proceeding forward!)

Now that I think about it, I kinda like the new BG. Starbuck reminds me on the singer Pink.

I realize that I'm probably derailing this thread completely, but it's somewhat well-known that "Battlestar Galactica" is teeming with allusions to the Book of Mormon and the Church of Latter Day Saints as Galactica Creator and Producer Glen Larson was a Mormon.

DIDJA KNOW DAT?!

Also, I have vague memories of watching Galactica 80 and seeing two Cylons get thrown in a dumpster. Stupid Cylons!

I also remember one where they remade Hell in the Pacific, by having Starbuck befriend a Cylon after they were both stranded on a barren planet. It's really horrifying what the memory will cough up.

Doctor Manhattan

12-09-2003, 01:45 PM

I found this on a Galactica site:

The Cylons were actually an extinct alien race of reptilian creatures. The creatures known as Cylons on the show were actually machines built by the Cylons.

Well I guess the new mini series isn't the future of the old show.

I think it's more intresting for the cylons to be created by man and then revolting against man, only to come back 40 years later to finish them off. The old show must have had dudes in Lizard Masks or something

And this plot summary doesn't make the old show look so good:

"The Lost Warrior"

Apollo is marooned on a Western Frontier-like planet, where he meets a woman and her son ... and a damaged Cylon, known as Red Eye, who has become a notorious gunslinger.

And this was only the third episode!

Baltar in the ORIGINAL series joined the Cylons for one reason..to control what was left of the humans.
I must be the only one who remembers the old series. They had guest stars all the time. Fred Astaire played Starbucks long lost dad.

they shouldn't have revealed the boomer thing atr the end. leave a little mystery for the show.

Jeff, the cylons in the original did not revolt because they were not made by man. The Cylons were built by an alien race called the Cylons. The machines revolted against their masters and destoyed them. The war broke out because they're some what similar to the Borg, all none Cylon life needs to be destroyed. So once we made contact with them, they attacked.

The show began with at attempt to end the war. Baltar claimed to have brokered a deal with the cylons to end the war. in reality, it was a trap.

Anyone know where I can find that 4 1/2 minute trailer Richard Hatch made when the idea of doing a new BG started? he made a trailer with some of the old cast and the company decided to go with Sci Fi's remake.

I guess I should rent the DVDs of the old series and watch the old shows.

Do I ever! My dad wouldn't take me to the movie because he said it was stuff we'd already seen on the TV show. I felt like Bart not getting to see the Itchy and Scratchy movie. I don't think it was in theaters too long.

Another bitter childhood memory regarding BG was Mattel's recall of the little red plastic bullets that shot out of the toy spaceships. It seems careless children were choking on them. Well I had a bitchin' Cylon Raider! And a Scarab! My grandmother told me if I gave her the bullets, she would send them to Mattel, and I would receive a Hot Wheels car for my troubles. I followed suit and never received dick. I lost my innocence that day. Now I'm forced to quote Skynard: "Gimme back my bullets!"

In the original series, Baltar's relationship with the Cylons seemed tenuous at best. The Cylons seemed to need him to help them find the remaining humans. But the scenes with Baltar sitting on that elevated platform in the dark did make it seem like he was the ruler or something.

The series had the possibility of being great, but the network wouldn't give them a decent budget. If I recall correctly, construction of the sets usually left little for effects. That's one reason you saw the same shots of the Vipers and Cylon ships over and over again.

I think the ending thing with Boomer was meant to try to get "fans" anxious about seeing what the angle is and encouraging a series. I thought as a production, it was good, except the actress who played Starbuck- I think she did it a little over-the-top. The effects were great, and had they had the ability to do those shots back when the original aired, it would be all the better for it.

I didn't like what they did to the story line too much, though. They didn't have to stick to cannon, but I think turning Baltar into a "sap" instead of a megalomaniac traitor was a bad idea.

From the Amazon preview of BSG The Movie:

This theatrical feature culled from the first and fourth episodes

And Hatch's trailer never went online. You pretty much had to be where he was showing it off at conventions.

Here are some nitpicks...

Surely, the Cylons know where their sleeper agents are transplanted?

So if that's the case, a certain attack doesn't make me very happy.

EM Pulses from the nukes - Both Number 6 and the Sleeper (I'm not spoiling it if hasn't been reported) should have been affected, because they were both in the neighborhood of nukes.

Starbuck's a butterface. Some shots she looks really good, other times, awful. She's got charisma though. Especially her comments about "wanting to kick the ass" of one of her shipmates and then finding out he died.

Col. Tigh = John McCain.

Does Apollo remind anyone else of the guy from 90210 who played Kelly's boyfriend? He's currently on Third Watch, I think.

I like how there is an Earth Conspiracy. Old School Adama was hard-pressed to find Earth, because he was positive it existed. New School Adama does not - he only used Earth as a motivational tool - and that could come back to haunt him.

I could deal w/o Olmos playing Adama... he didn't add or take away from the Character... but I can do w/o the President.

Also: There are 12 models of Cylon, with infinite numbers of each. So we have the Weapons Traded Cylon, The Number Six Cylon, the PR Guy Cylon, and the Sleeper Cylon. Right? Is that what they're going for?

What happened to the old days when we had 4 models of Cylons. Silver, Gold, Gay ones that sounded like C3PO and the Leader (Of course I had only heard of the Silver ones before seeing the new BG and doing research)

The best thing about the old BG was the Silver Dude, they need to have Machine Cylons not just Human ones. It's 30 years later, why are they trying to save money by using humans PRETENDING to be machines?

FYI, from Cynthia Turner Cynopis (a daily Television Ratings Newsletter):

Sci Fi Channel begins production next month on the new Battlestar Galactica, with an order for 13 episodes starring Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer reprising their roles from the miniseries.

I watched the first three episodes, and I'm really impressed.

I'm totally cool with the Tom Zarek character. I thought the reveal they did (OOH, LOOK, IT'S THE OLD APOLLO!) was understated a bit.

Starbuck is growing on me. The flight squadron briefing scene was funny. Sunglasses in space. That old gag.

Is it just me, or does New Apollo look like Dale Earnhardt Jr?

Last nights ep was also quite good, although i still dont like the Starbuck character, The show needs a second male action hero type, also i wish they would give some backstory about the colonys and the things that they refer to like last nights refrence to the explotiation Sagataria, also cylon 6 is so smoking hot

Ladies and Gentlemen My unlimited Love to Y'all

I think, not sure, but I think that they'll expan Tyrol's character a bit.

There's not one firm male action hero in the bunch, though. You've got Tyrol, who's the smart-ass mechanic... Apollo, wishy-washy... Adama, who probably kicked ass in his youth... Tigh, who is an asshole... Billy, who is a waste of skin and Mr. Exposition...

I'm thinking once Helo's leg is healed, he's gonna be your action hero.

Four episodes in, and we get a little more character development...

This was definitely a starbuck-centered episode, but the storytelling was a bit confusing... I didn't like the flashback-within-a-flashbackohwaitherewegotocylonoccupiedcaprica-flashback-viper crash-flashback.

It kind of felt like this episode was an excuse to squeeze all the regulars in for needless roles and some throwaway lines. ("What Cylon Detector?")

Here's what I don't get...

Obviously, Lee, Kara, and Zak were close to each other. As seen from the beginning of the episode, Lee and Kara seem like best friends, even though Lee knows Kara's secret. Now, mind you, Lee has only found out about Kara's secret less than 2 weeks ago (if we're going by the counter on Caprica, in the Galactica universe, it's been 14 days since the initial Cylon attack)

So Adama is absolutely furious with Kara when he finds out what she's done, but Lee, again, is totally wishy-washy.

I really, really want to like the Apollo character. But it seems like every time he takes a step forward in positive character development, he takes two steps back.

Anyone else notice the Top Gun reference, where a spike-haired, thick-lipped, Polish-last named pilot in flight school is twirling a pen with his fingers?

While I liked last week's episode, I thought the story could have gone forward a bit better and made more sense if Starbuck had let the new pilots back in with a "you're not out, but you screw up and we'll send you packing" line, rather than just letting them back in.

Sure the story had her overruled by Lee and the Commander, but there's no reason she should have let the students know that her mind was changed.

I'm pretty excited to see tonight's episode.

Ron Moore has a blog on Scifi.com about the episode, and there's somethings he's being very secretive about - including, for some reason, non-cornered paper.

I'm guessing - and this is just a guess - that bio organic fighters allows the cylons to grow their fighters rather than build them.

I've seen the entire season. (thanks, BT!) It's fucking phenomenal. I won't spoil, but it's just THAT DAMN GOOD.

For the show's second season, creator and executive producer Ronald D. Moore previously told SCI FI Wire that he has already been working on as many as six new scripts to resolve the multiple cliffhangers that will end season one. Moore added that he wants to delve deeper into the show's religious themes and open up the Cylon WORLD

the religious stuff is usally the slowest stuff for me on this show, and the show really shouldnt be about the cylons but the humans fleeing them, but i like the show so what do i know

And if there are cylons in the fleet (There seem to be lots of them) and they are in constant communication (Number Six explained that in the Mini Series, her thoughts are transfered to another model if she's destoyed) Why doesn't the BSG Boomer just let them know where they are?

She didn't, but he think she did. She's just playing with him. There seem to be TONS of cylons that have mixed in with humans. They seem to be holding off on having Baltar finish the Cylon Detector, I think they'll end the season with him finishing it and discovering that he's a cylon.

Boomer doesn't know she's a cylon (at least the one on BSG, and at least as far as we know)

Of course I'm just guessing.

At the very least that last show proves there must be a chip in his head and Number 6 isn't just something his mind is making up. She disappeared from his fantasy just as she appears in real life on BSG, then disappears from BGS and reappears to have some fantasy sex with Baltar who's now everyone's best friend. Wow they were really quick to put him in "the brig" and The president turned her back on him super fast based on one photo. what a bitch!

I was pleasantly surprised by the episode. I was sure that the cylon had just projected the fantasy world into being the Galactica instead of his nice little house. However, I have to wonder how she escaped. Did she just walk through a launch tube and into space? You would figure she'd have been under watch, that they'd be wary of any new face who just suddenly "appears".

hey guys im a new fan here of battlestar....i had never seen the old series, just the new one...ive seen the episode last week, i found it very interesting...anyway, is galactica the name of the ship?...is there a replay?

Every big carrier ship is called a "Battlestar". Commander Adama is in charge of "The Galactica", which happens to be the last Battlestar in existence. (Hence, the name of the show).

As for the replay, I have no idea when it re-airs BUT... I know that they did record some interviews (or perhaps they were commentaries) for the DVD as Company X Audio here in Toronto.
Plus...there will most likely be a Marathon eventually anyway.

Ron Moore has said that he has NOT made a decision about Pegasus and Cain appearing in the new series. Considering the new season is 20 episodes, there's a lot to play with.

I'll say this though - I've seen the entire first season, and Ron Moore is GOD OF CLIFFHANGER. Best Sci-Fi cliffhanger since Best of Both Worlds Part I.

Hand of God is one of the best of the season, but episodes 12 and 13 (the final two this season) are fucking PHENOMENAL.

Anyone know how many episodes are left this season?

Episode 1x10 was Hand of God (Cylon base sneak attack)

Episode 1x11 is Colonial Day (Return of Tom Zarek)

Episode 1x12 is Kobol's Last Gleaming Part I (first part of the season finale, and contains the best 2-minute opening tease EVER.

Episode 1x13 is Kobol's Last Gleaming Part II (second part of the season finale, with the cliffhanger)

So in answer: three episodes.

Why did they get this show so much earlier than we do in the US?

I'm thinking it may have had something to do with the viability of the show. Maybe SciFi/Universal wanted to see how the show did overseas before giving a consideration to a second season? Don't forget, the second season was OK'ed 4 episodes into the first season here.

The first part of the season finale is on tonight (I've already seen it and it's fantastic!)

This got me thinking of the few minutes before BSG comes on. Sci-Fi Channel shows some crappy show before hand where there are these people on some planet and there are aliens they have to deal with. I understand it's not a huge budget show but the computers they use on the show are Dell Laptops, they don't even try to hide it. What the hell is that about?

<a href="http://www.torrentspy.com/directory.asp?mode=sub&id=93"> Try this site to catch any episode's you missed</a>I just re-read your post.Those episodes are in order, the storylines just don't always run so tightly together. And the previously's don't always reflect the show from last week, sometimes it's the whole season and mini-series. Ron Moore purposely made episode 11 and 12 very different in tone and plotline. Episode 11: Colonal Day. The old Apollo(Richard Hatch ) runs for vice-president (so that he can take over), Roslin nominates Baltar because people love the guy. Six says he can start having sex with women since sex doesn't equal love which is what they have and he starts with that reporter.Episode 12: Kobol's Last Gleaming part 1. Starbuck and Giaus hook up, there we're a few hints of an attraction in previous episodes. Giaus is free to have sex with other women and he's not stopping at that reporter.Episode 13 is readily available since it's already aired in the UK and recently in the US <a href="http://www.fox.com/24" target="_blank"><img src="http://members.cox.net/nicksporsche/wwjbd.jpg" border="0" /> "We're putting the band back together."</a>

Also we can look forward to another nod to the original series spoiler vision Battlestar PegususI hope that works

Ron's Podcasts are very good, they are actually commentary tracks that should be listened to while watching the show (And reportedly, the ones before last weeks will end up on the Season 1 DVD released in September, but not the DVD set released exclusively to Bestbuy next week)There is also a <a href="http://www.alanlight.com/cic/cic.htm" target="_blank">Fan Pod Cast</a> I found for the show via iTunes 4.9.

I think they just wanted to stay away from the normal Sci-Fi show Laser beam effect, the same thinking behind the more quiet space shots. But in space you need to travel faster that light to get anywhere in a practical time frame.One thing that I didn't really like about this episode: I don't mind Star Buck driving a truck on Caprica, but does it have to be a Hum-Vee? It just looks like something from the current war in Iraq, which I guess is what they are going for. But this isn't supposed to be earth.End Spoiler.

OK... Spoiler Vision for 2.02 first:I think Kara's ride was budgetary constraints.  They've obviously spending a lot of money on this show, but I figure that Kara's ride is going to figure into future plot points.  So they couldn't make a CGI car, or modify a ton of old cars to look "Caprican" as it were.  So they just saved money, bought a used hummer, welded some cosmetic metal to make it look different, boom, done.I mean, Star Trek:Nemesis had a land-based vehicle and it just looked gay.  At least Hummers are cool.I finally like where Apollo's character is going.  Such a prick now.  Awesome.Now, another question:Why does everyone call Crashdown "L.T."?  Is it supposed to be short for "Lieutenant" or something?With the eerie music playing, I knew Adama was gonna kill the "child".  I thought at first he was just going to snap it's neck with Baltar watching, but that may have been too intense for TV.Interesting parallel back to the miniseries, when Six killed a human baby though.Dumb question - how can Six be pregnant if she's just an illusion in Baltar's head?  Did Shelley Godfrey and Baltar interact physically when she was on the ship in season 1?Last thing:Yes, the Pegasus is coming back.  However, Moore made an interesting casting choice for Commander Cain... Michelle "Ensign Ro" Forbes.This makes Forbes 4th foray into high-quality cult television.  TNG, HLOTS, 24, and now BSG.

Doctor Manhattan

Actually, Paul Campbell who plays the assistant to the President had a chance to be in a pilot and his contract allowed him to leave the show, so they wrote a way to be able to explain why he wasn't on the show any longer. That pilot didn't work out, so he will return to the series in a few episodes. This was said by Ron Moore in his latest podcast.Also, if there are 8 cylons in the fleet you know there will already be some on the Galactica, wouldn't make sense for a cyclon to follow the president and see what happens? He knows this will spilt some of the fleet away from the Galatica, so wouldn't a cylon need to keep tabs on the presidents side of things?<a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202" target="_blank"><img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=skw" border="0" /></a>

I didn't know that about the actor that plays the assistant... Thanks, it does make sense. I always thought it was a perfect position for a cylon to be so close to the president of the colonies. They did already catch one cylon positioned on Galactica, If he is a cylon, it also makes sense that he would want to remain closer to Adama then Roslin... Whatever number Boomer is, her model failed at killing Adama...Obviously I'm not the first to think this, but it would be foolish to think Baltar is not a cylon as well...Never Rub Another Man's Rhubarb...

they found Kobol by accident. they didn't even recognize it at first. the
twelve colonies are: Tauron Geminon, Virgon, Sagittaron, Caprica,
Picon, Leonis, Canceron, Aerilon, Aquarion, Scorpia, Libris.Most
of the characters hail from Caprica because the Galactica was based
there. it also seems to have been the capital of the colonies.  and the survivor tally doesn't include those left behind on the colonies.

Tonight's episode will be fun."Starbuck.  Welcome Back.  You're court martialled."Here's a dumb question... with Crash dead, Starbuck potentially courtmartialed, Apollo AWOL, then who the hell is the new CAG?I have a bad feeling it's going to be Hotdog... which is ridiculous.

Helo is back! Can a Raptor Co-pilot be CAG?Starbuck disobeyed an order from her commander, but I don't think they will court martial her for that, plus she is bringing back Helo and a Second Boomer for them to play with, and this one knows who she is. She picked a fight with a superior officer in the Mini series before the "End of the World" happened and they didn't court martial her then, just threw her in the brig. Since they need her I think they can't afford to court martial people unless they really fuck up. Adama love her like a daughter and he's back in charge. so she's safe.I love this fraking show!<a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202" target="_blank"><img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=skw" border="0" /></a>

You're right.  They lost the Cylon Raider, but they have the heavy raider, plus they have a PREGNANT cylon and they have a rescued pilot and vital intel on what the cylons are up to.So add all that up, and yeah, probably no court martial.   Plus Kara could potentially blackmail Adama - she knows that Adama doesn't know how to get to Earth, (remember, when she left, Roslin didn't believe in Earth but she changed since Kara was gone) but she's the only one in the fleet who knows besides Roslin and Adama.

All spoilers:Just a phenomenal show tonight.  From the teaser - which was GREAT - all the way to the final shootout on Kobol, so much stuff was forwarded tonight, it was great.I think the best part of tonight's episode was the Hotdog/Cat issue.  When they went for the extreme closeup of Kat's eye when the asteroid went up, I was like - "Holy shit, they are finally gonna kill her."  RDM is not beyond killing the role players, as shown with Crash, Socinus, etc.I liked the Apollo/Helo/Mexican Standoff.  Just sounds weird having him called "Agathon".Poor Elosha.The Starbuck/Apollo relationship has taken a really weird turn.  Apollo is a total asshole, then "I wuv you kara".  Bleeeeeeeech.  What are they, 15?BTW, Starbuck has been sweating Apollo for like, what, a year or so?  She fucked Baltar but still loved Lee, and she's with Anders for like a WEEK and she's forgotten about him?  Jeez.One more think - Loved Six talking to Baltar about how the humans have a thing for self-destruction while he's SMOKING.  Glorious.

Was there the Cylon twist that they looked like humans originally or is that new?The old show had a different story line. There was a race of reptile aliens called Cylons who created the robots that humans ended up fighting on the show (also called Cylons) I don't remember if they ever showed the reptile aliens, I think they may have died a while before the show started.There were no human looking Cylons on the old show, this is something new. Also in the new show the humans created the Cylons who looked like the silver robots from the old show (they showed on in a museum) and then rebelled. <img src="http://s2.imagesubmit.com/cylonmuseum.jpg" border="0" />quote: Would the Mechanical Cylons be considered model # 1  <img src="http://s1.imagesubmit.com/cylon0005.jpg" border="0" />actually, on the new show they called the old show style ones "Cylons Centurian Model 0005" They didn't say it but I'm sure the new Centurians were designed and built by the Cyclons themselves (Baltar said the last time any humans saw one they looked like Chrome Toasters, the new ones aren't chrome) I don't think they have given the new Centurians a model number or anything.<a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202" target="_blank"><img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=skw" border="0" /></a>

because the cylon machines, the "Lucifer" model, not the centurions,
rose up against them. All orchestrated by Count Iblis, but that's a longer

Thank you. I knew nothing about Reptile's. I guess I will get the Original Series on DVD.It seems to me that on this series most Human nationalities are represented by each Zodiac Colony. Most black people that I've seen on this series seem to come from Geminon. Are other Races specific to certain colonies?  "Sagitaron's are so scared of Geminons"Obviously, they believe in the Greek Gods, but I noticed in the Mini Series, Adama sighed and muttered "Jesus". This show is outstanding but incredibly confusing...

I was doing some research on the old show (still debating If I should try and watch it) and another thing they carried over from the old show was Apollo's brother: Zac died during the Cylon attack at the beginning of the old series. In the New Series it's spelled Zak (and in the new series Adama is his last name, unlike the old series where Adama, Apollo and Starbuck are their full names)Zac is played by Rick Springfield who was a friend of this guy:<img src="http://s1.imagesubmit.com/boogie.bmp" border="0" />

Baltar's not a cylon, because then Six would have never been needed to access the Caprican defense system in the first place.  Another question... the Six model is superstrong and superfast as evidenced in Kobol's Last Gleaming.  Other people have made mentions that Boomer has excellent endurance, and she's a really good shot.  Leoben is also super-strong as seen by the miniseries - even with his silica relays destroyed he whupped Adama.  So it's assumed that the Cylons we've seen are stronger and faster than us.So why has Sharon been thrown around?  She got dragged off and allowed a front choke hold.

I understood the connection in Baltar's mind. Once he mentioned Starbuck, she appears dressed as her, I just liked the goofy bug eyed impression she was doing. I can't understand Baltar anymore. I used to think that he couldn't possibly survived that blast they show in the begining of every episode, that's why he's a cylon, but I never thought about why did #6 really need him in the beginning. I've wondered why Sharon is such a physically weak cylon too, but I can only think that this particular one is pregnant, and # 6 mentioned once that her model is flawed. She is the most emotional Cylon it seems so far, but that might be intentional. She might have been designed for love so she could have the cylon baby and that's why # 6 despises her.  maybe...   Never Rub Another Man's Rhubarb...

They are not the borg, they think for themselves. And much like the humans, the leaders sometimes go in their own direction (hence the Galactia and Pegasus about to go into battle with each other)Also the plan with Sharon was to start a life on Caprica with Helo. The finding Kara and the Resistance and flying back to Kobol/Galatica in a Heavy Radier was not part of the Sharon Baby plan. quote: Galactica survived the orginal Cylon attack due to its Comps not being networked and the fact that its an older ship while some of its airwing was disabled by the cylon virus (miniseries) The ships age plus the fleet of vintage vipers in the museum gave it an edge So how does Pegusas show up a much more modern ship then the Galactica and what looks like its complete airwing would they have been exposed to the virus at the station they were docked at and been more vunerable?  The Pegasus was docked at some station ready to have an overhaul, with her crew to have shore leave. Her Computer Network was probably offline when the attack began. They didn't engage the cylons but instead did a quick blind jump (Which I don't think is so risky because Space is extremely vast, chances are you aren't going to jump into something dangerous, since 99% of space is a void.)I still don't understand why it's so easy to hack into a Battlestar's network. Wouldn't it make sense to have it be a closed network of the computers on board the ship? Do they have to have the wireless lan up and running? In Scattered (First show of this season) they networked the computers together, How did the cylons start to hack it unless there was something they could use to access it? Couldn't Gata just connect those computers as a closed network? Did he need internet access?<a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202" target="_blank"><img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=skw" border="0" /></a>

I missed it Friday and wanted to break my TV, but I was lucky. I watched it tonight.I'm not making light of rape, but I can't understand why The Imaginary # 6 would be so shocked. Of course it's terrible, but look at what the cylons are doing to human females. I think The Pegasus crew abused her because they didn't have the same emotional bond to their captive like Galactica does. They saw her as a Murderous Machine (which she is). What happened to # 6 is disgusting, but I kept thinking of the time she snapped the babies neck in the Mini Series. This is what I think will happen. Fighting will occur, caualties on both sides, The Pegasus's XO will refuse to stand for any more and a mutiny will occur against "Ensign Ro". She will probably be killed and eventually everything will go back to normal with a new Battlestar at Adama's command... I missed Ro Laren. She should have been the first officer of Deep Space Nine...<img height="438" src="http://home1.gte.net/ccindy/StarTrek/RoLaren.gif" width="322" border="0" /> <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~bob80/RFnetXMRonFez.jpg" border="0" />

Well, the Humanoid Cylons seem to have genuine emotions. The only people affected by the treatment of Pegasus Six are Baltar's Six (The Cylons seem to have a bond with the other verisons of themselves: I remember the Sharon that was on Capripa watching the film that Xena made saying "I'm still alive" when she saw BoomerV2. Plus it would be weird to see yourself be abused.) and Baltar who is in love with Six (Shelly, Gina)This is what I think will happen. Fighting will occur, caualties on both sides, The Pegasus's XO will refuse to stand for any more and a mutiny will occur against "Ensign Ro". She will probably be killed and eventually everything will go back to normal with a new Battlestar at Adama's command... Good call, it may not work out exactly like that but you know they will have something that calls back to the Cain/XO/Gun issue. I can't imaging the Galactica wanting or being able to destroy the Pegasus, so if they don't follow the old show (having it's fate not really known) I'm not sure what they would do with the ship. There is that mysterious Cylon ship from those pictures, the Pegasus could go after that and be lost from the Galactica (Sort of like the old show with Commander Cain going off to battle by himself)

I honestly didn't think about that. I guess it would be very disturbing to see a twin (or however they see themselves) abused like that. I also realized that I even said "Imaginary # 6". I think that version is more Baltar's Emotions then an actual # 6 model. I consider # 6 the most heartless, but Baltar's version would obviously be more sensitive. The Boomer model confuses me. She has to be specially designed for Love. In season One's finale all the naked boomer's kept saying I love you. All they knew was love without Sharon's Memories being downloaded. One fell in Love with the cheif and the other with Helo. Her sensitive emotions have to be a part "Of The Plan".I just think they give Sharon the benefit of the doubt to much. I know she's clearly helped them many times, but they abandoned the Media Cylon and shot a Leoben out an airlock. I don't think The president would have trusted her to find the tomb if it were any other model.I really don't know anything about the original series, but I've seen every single moment of all Star Trek's. 40 years of almost the same stories twisted around makes some Sci Fi pretty predictable. The Gritty Dark Edge makes This BattleStar Great, but it's really still a mix of Star Trek, Star Wars and Lost in Space.

Family Guy did this too (Season 4 isn't over but they just released Volume 3 of the DVD series (Volume 1 covered Seasons 1 and 2, Volume 2 covered Season 3, so maybe Volume 4 will cover the rest of Season 4, so that after this the Volume number and Season numbers will match: Volume 5=Season 5)Do you guys think they will release a Full Season 2 DVD set or just release a second half of Season 2 DVD set? I know that set will include a longer version of Episode 10 (Ron Moore mentions a 15 minute longer version of "Pegasus" in his podcast for the episode but the podcast and extra footage didn't make it onto the Season 2.0 DVD set, just the aired version of episode 10) but will it just be Episodes 10-20? I held off buying the set thinking they would release a big set later.

I watched the first 2 episodes of this season about 2 weeks ago ( I work at a newspaper and they recieved a press screening disk and our reviewer knows i'm a fan) and i gotta say that this is one of the most consistiantly well written and acted shows out there at the moment, maybe ever.

Not giving away spoilers, but the final scene of the first episode is probably one of the most intense moments i've seen on TV, and all it involves is people talking....

They probably will release two versions on DVD. A verson 2.1 of the second half of this season and most likely a full season 2 set with more features so I have to buy it. I was stupid enough to run out the first day and grab Season 1 "Best Buy" exclusive. I didn't realize it was the British version. It was fine, but I had to buy the regular season as well.

"I wouldn't count on that." Adama always gets the best lines. Here's
a dumb question about the resurrection ship... Starbuck's pics were
obviously close enough that we saw pods holding the "Six" cylon model. I
guess they didn't want to tip their hand on what other cylon models are
still lurking in the fleet?  As far as I know, the models of the
12 that have been revealed are...Valerii model (Boomer) 
Six Model (Six, Gina) 
Leoben Model (The Arms Dealer/Terrorist that was on Ragnar Anchorage and interrogated by Kara) 
Doral Model (The PR Guy in the blue suit) 
Simon model (The Doctor on Caprica who messed with Kara) 
Friel model. (Xena model)Am I missing any?

</a>Thanks for the pic.  That's a new sig pic, thank you. I
doubt that Moore would make Cain a cylon.  The whole point of this
exercise with "Pegasus" is that their crew is the worst humanity could bring out under the circumstances. The potential cylons that I've heard rumored about are (spoiler vision) Col.
Tigh's Wife - who wouldn't be a new Cylon model, but rather an older,
"aged" version of the 6 model... but personally that makes no sense, as
Shelly interacted with Tigh and surely he saw the comparison if this
was true... Felix Gaeta, and Billy. I
personally think they have to slow down in introducing the new
Cylons.  They've gone through half of them in the first year and a
half.  If this show has the preservance of a Stargate, they are
gonna need to stretch it out over 9 seasons or more.

I thought the fight was anticlimactic as well. There should be more action in the next few episodes though. Cain will have to die. I just hope The Pegasus doesn't get destroyed and can become a part of the fleet with The current XO as it's new captain. I didn't think Starbuck actually got that close to the models. It was just the magnification level that made it  possible to see them. They did go through half of the 12 cylons already, but they could possibly be making newer human models that can stretch it out a lot longer. I doubt that Cain is a cylon and the more I think about it I really doubt Baltar is one as well, but until it's proven wrong I feel The President's Assistant is definately one of them. I don't know how to do the spoiler vision, but I'm just guessing at all of this. Doc Cottle could be one, but if he was, why would he be so adamant about about saving Adama's life. Just more guessing.

I'm not sure who the better actor in this show is... Callis as
Baltar or Olmos as Adama. Because even though Helo and Boomer
have a "real" love, you can't feel it. Baltar is absolutely
batshit insane but you can feel every emotion he has, including the
love for GinaSix - even after he watches her kill a man right in front
of him. Edit: And puts the idea in her head about killing Cain, although he had no real idea how fucking crazy she was.

I started out hating this series now am religiously taping it. (Still cant stand Starbuck though, still think of her as the girl who gets her head chopped off and rolled down the stairs in halloween #20 or something). Last nights was the best action episode of series, very tense. Great episode. And agree, have never seen the guy playing Baltar before but he's by far the best actor on the show. Just hoping there's not too many subplots now that there's 2 ships involved, betting Pegasus gets destroyed at some point soon.

[cue me saying "Huh, that's Baltar - and he's gay?"]

One example that comes to mind is when Gaeta is explaining the reason the water tanks may have exploded and how much water they have left in the episode called "water" early in season 1: The foam core presentation board with the schematic of Galactica was rectangular. And that would be an easy item to put into an octagon formation.
