No BSG until January 2008 (almost) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Sigh, but we are going to see an extended episode about the Battlestar Pegasus and Cain that will also come out on DVD.

I can sympathize, Duncan... I fell asleep during BSG last night. I'm so ashamed.

I have to wait until tonight. :cry:

Ok I saw it. Makes alot of sense to me. What are you talking about cliffhanger? I am just wondering how she died in the first place. If she is the 5th, where did she get the raptor from? Or what apollo saw never happened that way.

Question:Why did music cause these newly-revealed Cylons to discover they were indeed Cylons. Sharon didn't hear music when she figured it out in season one.

Ron Moore: It's more that they arrived at a certain point in space and they were made aware of who they are. The music manifests a dawning awareness. These are four of the final five, which puts them in a separate category from everybody else. There are reasons for that I can't really get into. We'll be playing out those plot lines for quite a while.

Question: Are these four all full Cylons?

Ron Moore: Yes, but they are different fundamentally.

Question: Will we meet the final fifth Cylon next season?

Ron Moore: I think so.

OK, so that means STARBUCK is or is NOT a cylon then?

So... anyone else wonder what Baltar is carrying in that suspect box? (It's the cop in me)... I'd have him show me, then nail him for kidnapping...

[edit] And, you're right Nerde... "Holy frakin' cow!" hehe... [/edit]

Re: No BSG until January 2008 (almost) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Why cliffhanger? Because it was so fucking *contrived*. It was the equivalent of godmodding in an RPG.

Revealing those four of the final five: Fine. It makes sense. Sorta.
The Cylon fleet jumping in on top of the humans *just* after they get their power back: Cliched.
Starbuck reappearing: This can only happen if she's a Cylon. Elsewise, WTF?
Starbuck "knowing" Earth's location: uh... wtf?

All of that happening in what was (in the BSG universe) a space of no more than five-ten minutes is just a TAD bit overdone.

It was a good episode, but the cliffhanger was very poorly done.

... on the note of the Chief being a Cylon... anyone remember in the first season, during the episode where they revealed that the Cylons took human form... that conversation between Cally and one of the other deck hands?

Deckhand: "That means Cylons can look like anyone!"
Cally: "NOT. THE. CHIEF."
Deckhand: "How do you know?!"
Cally: "I. KNOW."

Irony, sweet sweet irony...

Starbuck being a cylon: not sure about that. Rather think she might be a hybrid rather than a pure cylon? BTW do we know who her father is?

IF she is a cylon how did she get into the same raptor she flew when she allegedly "blew up" at the gas planet?

IF she is not a cylon how did she survive the explosion of her ship, or did this never really happen and she flew into a wormhole, the big swirl on that planet? And that is what her mission had been from the beginning since she had been drawing the paintings depicting exactly that.

I prefer the hint about the Chief (and Brother Cavil) from 2.19:

Chief: "But how do you know I'm human?"
Cavil: "Oh, well because maybe I'm a Cylon and I've never seen you at any of the meetings"

SciFi and Ron Moore have announced that the Battlestar Galactica movie is moving ahead with plans to air sometime in mid fall.

Ron Moore confirmed to IGN that the top secret Battlestar Galactica movie is leaping forward. Essentially the movie is a flash back to the days prior to Battlestar Pegasus joining the fleet. It will center around Commander Cain and crew's survival following the holocaust. The movie is, in Moore's words, really a couple fo extra episodes for season four, so expect some information revealed in the movie to have some level of relevancy when season four kicks in. The movie, which does not have a title yet, will debut sometime in the fall, about 3-4 months ahead of season four.

If you think this means you won't be seeing your Galactica favorites, think again. Some of the movie takes place before the holocaust and Moore has stated that all of the original Galactica characters will be making an appearance to some degree in the film. As for the prequel project Caprica, this has once again slipped into that abyss known as 'development hell' for SciFi channel. While not completely scrapped, there are no moves being made in a positive direction at this point. SciFi is moving ahead with several new series, and a controversial mini-series remake of The Wizard of Oz, all will be part of the channels fall and winter lineup.

HOLY FRAK! I just watched the season finale (had it sitting on my drive for weeks) and all I can say is HOLY FRAK! I got chills. I admit most of the season I thought was a bit dull, but the last few episodes absolutely blew me away.

January cannot come fast enough.

Uh oh... noticed the IP hijack?

Totally legal... a little war driving... I was out of town, and I stumbled upon a Panera cafe... they were closed, but their net wasn't - open wireless, so I checked in.

Oh, wait... you mean in the box that Baltar was carrying... (forget everything before)... well, it's as small as a gnome...

Ok, I saw it. Not sure what I expected, but I was not too impressed. The pilot movie was far better. As you said it shows what actually happened, where before we had just heard about the "crimes" of Admiral Cain. I guess one could call it an extended episode. What i liked though is the appearance of the old toasters hehe... "at your command." :D

What I found interesting was what the tank being said before being nuked about Starbuck, how she will bring doom for the humans. We know something mysterious is going on with her, since she died and came back,... cant wait til january. Well, now it isnt too far off anymore. I will probably watch Razor again.

I got the torrent when it first released, about 3 weeks before the episode aired. It was a DVDRip of the screeners, perfect quality. I liked the episode, even though it really was more of a fill in the blank than anything. I would have preferred some kind of big step forward, but it was cool. I want to buy the DVD which is extended, not sure how much they've added.

I watched the first 2 episodes of TSCC and it was okay. I am a big fan of the first 2 movies, so it would have to of been extremely good for me to not be disappointed. I'll have to see where they take before I pass judgement, but so far it just seems "okay". I'm looking forward to BSG coming back, but I still haven't seen Razor.

ok I saw episode one and I thought it was boring. I will watch a couple more before I can decide if I like it. Razor is nice, but not as nice as I had hoped.

Impavid is certainly not MiT. You've missed quite a bit, Vehement. Look at his entry in the [VPR]pedia wiki, do a forum search for "Impavid", or ask around in-game. Welcome back.

Dammit, need to keep better track of these things. Having cable service would help, but I find it hard to justify the cost for what amounts to 1-2 shows I would actually care about watching. Need to see what online options are available.

And I frakking work for NBC Universal!

Heh... I got to see it in the largest lecture hall on campus, which is effectively a big movie theater.

Probably should have said "frakking epic", to be honest... ^.^

Whoa... BSG is getting a lot of attention... and rightfully so.

Now, there are twelve models... and my take is Starbuck is *not* one of the final five... actually... there is more to the equation... but to come later...

Re: No BSG until January 2008 (almost) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
An interesting thing to note is the numbers of the models that we do know:

#1: Cavil
#2: Leoben
#3: D'Anna
#4: Simon
#5: Doral
#6: Caprica
#7: Unknown
#8: Sharon
#9: Unknown
#10: Unknown
#11: Unknown
#12: Unknown

We know numbers 1-6, and 8. 7 and 9-12 are unaccounted for. My best guess is that the four we know are numbers 9-12, and the fifth is #7. Dunno who it is, though...
