I actaully don't believe the NBC thing. At least not as a perminent network move. Maybe more mini marathons as midseason replacements. That's the way I got my first taste of BSG a couple of years ago. The network move rumor came up at the end of last month but has been repeatedly shot down.

I'm more concerned about the shorter season if it's true.
 
comcast

on comcast cable you can see the episodes commercial free for free in the cutting edge section of on demand.

the show in the best space show ever on tv. better than any star trek, or any other show set in space. it so well acted too. unlike stargate atlantis those guys are hacks!!

what's everyones favorite cast members? mine are baltar and boomer. boomer is hot. especially those episodes when she was getting the crap beat out of her. looked hot with a little blood on the lip.

Yep Boomer's a Sexy little badass alright and I'd like to scape the burnt toast off anyone who says those other punkass scifi shows are even half as good as BSG. I'm with ya on that dope fiend Baltar he's a pretty fly for an englishman. ( No offence Pomz ) But seriously how could yo forget about the Six model?

Ya freakin' me out man!!! I have a bit of a thang the boomstar too but can't say I wanna see her lips bleed:eek:

Sorry that was a little distasteful. ;)

Yea, them Cylons got the bling on them too, just luk at their glowin eyes and their fly ships man. They can whop anyone's ass anytime. Adama an his bitches are not gonna take they **** though yo. They gonna come back and crunch some toaster!

What are you, 12?
 
Remember when Baltar "killed" the Chief to torture Sharon into telling him how many Cylons there were in the fleet? And she told him 8? Assuming she also counted herself, that left 7. Since her revelation, Brother Cavil was found--leaving six. We already knew about D'Anna, even though the fleet leadership didn't. After New Caprica, it's probably safe to assume that none of the 7 Cylon types we've seen (except Sharon Agathon) can ever be in the fleet again. So there should be a representative of each of the 5 unknown types still in the fleet. If the Cylons are smart (and they seem to be) chances are they never went down to New Caprica.

This is a great convenience for the writers. It must be very hard to be a twin among the humans just now. :eek:
 
I wonder what % of the viewing audience is just there for the girls. Though, most of the sexuality in the show—Baltar and Six, Boomer and Tyrol, Boomer and Helo, Starbuck and anyone—is sometimes so edgy that it surprises me people find it arousing.
 
Regardless, I don't want to be deprived of 5 episodes! :eek: ;)


You won't be. In fact you'll get five free if you got it from iTunes.

Question: Three weeks ago, I bought a season pass to Battlestar Galactica on iTunes. This morning, I received an e-mail from iTunes management stating that I was being given a credit for five TV episodes on iTunes "due to a change in the number of episodes the network plans to air." Is Season 3 being cut short?— Eric Lach

Ausiello: No. Here's what happened. There are 19 episodes of Battlestar this season, but iTunes erroneously billed season-pass holders for 20 episodes. As a make-good, they offered five free downloads to everyone who overpaid. Sounds fair to me.

About 2/3rds down the page.
 
Creepy.

Nope just about though so don't mess with MY navel
 
Goo Goo Gar Gar !!!

Yeah just havin' a lend.
Was a little bit of a drunk last nite ;)
 
Maybe I missed it, but...

...when did the 'D'anna Biers'/#3 model get 'outed' as a Cylon?

Obviously, when her copies showed up at the end of last season the humans would have known, but I don't recollect anyone making a big deal out of the best known reporter in the RTF being a Cylon?

:confused:

No, I don't think this was ever touched on either. As you say, obviously the humans now know she is a Cylon, so I wonder what happened to the actual news reporter Cylon herself - or was that her, the main #3 we saw on New Caprica?

Reminds me of the #6 that was trying to oust Baltar as the traitor and then just vanished. Nothing else was said or done regarding her, was there?
 
No I don't remember seeing anything on that one either but maybe you could search through the available deleted scences ? Might get the answer your lookin' 4 in them.
I just assumed that she blew herself out the airlock. :D

Don't really know why but I think that the #6 who accused Baltar was the #6 from his brain. His imaginary #6 disappears and a physical one all of a sudden appears and disappears as well. There's more to Baltar's mental wackyness then we know. Or at least I like to think so.
 
Wow...talk about a slow, but very interesting episode.

#1: the hybrids. Interesting. The one thing, posted on another forum that I laughed at, and agreed with, was the orgasmic reaction in the hybrid when told to jump. It's a wonder basestars aren't jumping for the chance to jump. :p

#2: I found the cylons even more hypocritical than ever, taking notice to the subservience of the tinheads compared to the human-form cylons. And the fact that they were reprogrammed to be subservient, and given their bickering amongst each other, it's officially come to pass, they are indeed hypocrites, but that's really no secret.

#3: Baltar. He has truly hit rock bottom. I don't think a man could be more destroyed than himself. The fact that he was in a hazmat suit does not discount that he isn't a cylon, merely it lessens his chance that he is one.

#4: Plot hole. Why would someone dying infect a new body on a resurrection ship? If they are downloaded, why would it affect them, they're connected with some sort of galactic wifi, so... all that would be transferred is the mind.

#5: Starbuck getting her act together was interesting. I felt more for Saul than anyone else at the moment, merely out of pity that he has joined Baltar on rock bottom, or is in the process of getting there. I was glad to see that Gaeta was in the good graces of Roslin and Adama, probably it was announced to the fleet that he passed information to the Resistance, despite it's unorthodox, and horrible methods, to which Saul should have been charged for. There was no reason to launch a suicide attack against the market place.

#6: The way Six was saddened that Baltar lied, despite the fact that the device was right there in front of her. So far however, there's been no information as to what it could be, merely that it is "assumed to be from the 13th colony". Tying into the deliberate biological weapon tactic is just stupid as Gaius would have no time for any of that, given A) he was at odds with Adama immediately after the colonisation of New Caprica, B) he was imprisoned with the cylons during the entire period of occupation, and C) he was on a basestar after, so I don't see where this "he deliberately led them there" came from. My guess is they're trying to point fingers.

Umm, wasn't she on Cloud 9?

We don't know this. For all we know there's a tiny jump drive in the brain of every human form Cylon. The implication is that something physical is transferred. A second implication is that if the "Cylons as modern day Earth humans" theory is true, something like this virus preventing resurrection, and therefore leading to a single lifetime for each Cylon would make them more like us.

Six was more than saddened. She realized that the other Cylons didn't trust that Baltar was telling the truth (as she said earlier) and that SHE shouldn't trust him either.

By the way, Athena (nice to see that name back again) quoted the Scrolls of Pythia when she saw the dead Cylons. As to why they blame Baltar, he's just the human at hand. I wonder if they see him as an agent of the human gods?

For all we know the virus is a hybrid biological/computer virus. If you copy a virus infected hard drive the virus is on the new one just like the old one. Since the Cylons are somewhat organic, as we've seen in the raiders, a virus like transmission system that implants the computer virus may be what they are dealing with. Once the initial infection causes a Cylon to die the malignant code is transfered to the resurrection ship and once there will infect every resurrected Cylon.

Which just demonstrates how clever the 13th tribe were...

Makes me wonder: What was the combined population of the 12 colonies? I get the feeling that all told, it was LESS than the current population (c. 2006) of Earth. So when they get to Earth (assuming they do), how are 40,000 people going to be greeted by 6 BILLION, living in 200 nations? And can Earth, as it is militarily armed right now, defeat the Cylons?
 
Umm, wasn't she on Cloud 9?
No. That was Gina, who arrived with The Pegasus, killed Admiral Kane, then went into hiding.

How's this for a theory:-

Going back to the "all of this has happened before" line, and the fact that the War of the Gods is pretty much unknown, I'm beginning to think that the 13th tribe deliberately went to Earth, the remotest colony, in order to lose contact with the others. They were the other side in the war that laid waste to Kobol.

Why? Because they were synthetic, just like the Cylons. The only difference being that the 13th tribe could have children, knowledge the Cylons want. The entire human genocide was organised to force the humans to seek out Earth for them.

The device was genuinely infecting the synthetic 13th tribe with something deadly, so they ejected it to save themselves.

Bit of a shock for both the humans and Cylons when they find Earth though. Firstly, the humans finding they've run straight to their greatest fear, and secondly the Cylons finding out that their "plan" leads to their descendants becoming indistinguishable from everything they hate.
 
It was interesting - but next weeks should be even more interesting because it looks like the humans find a number of survivors on the Base Star....

Still - I have to wonder at why the 13th colony was so far away from the others. I'm still laying odds that Earth is the real home of humans and the "Gods" took a bunch of humans on a 3 millennia tour far, far from home....

The writers better make damn sure that when/if the RTF gets to Earth, the language of the Colonials comes across as something like ancient Greek or something... we shall not have "aliens" speaking English. ;)

Well, they haven't met anyone else yet - so we don't know how they're going to handle the language issue.

Stargate had the different language thing for a while, then they sort of gave up on it (in the first season) - it would get in the way of the flow of the show to have a big problem communicating. Not to mention having a bunch of people speak a different language.

So I'm not thinking the language thing will even pop up -- didn't you know everyone speaks English in space :p

To be honest, there are some differences, at least in the form of slang and curses. But yes, it would be interesting, but alas', this is not OUR earth they're coming too.
 
What if... the folks who "originated" on Kobol were outcasts from Earth (prisoners or something, a la Botany Bay), dropped on a terraformed planet and indoctrinated with a mix of ancient Terran mythology and led to believe that Earth was, rather than the homeworld, just another colony? That might explain why Earth is so far away from Kobol.

When the RTF arrive at Earth, they may find that Terran humans have advanced far, far beyond either the Colonials or the Cylon.
