Battlestar Galactica: It's Frakking Over; The Plan coming this fall

[quote name='Dunvane']Well, this is probably REALLY out there, but
What if Gaeta is the dying leader? The thought of the "wasting" disease is what makes me think it is possible, as for the last few episodes we've seen Gaeta "wasting" away, in both physical and mental health, and he's begun to take a type of leadership role in a rebellious fashion. It would certainly be a twist, anyway. :p
[/QUOTE]

Now you may be on to something. Good job!
 
way way way too many ways things might be able to "twist" hopefully they will not try to "twist" things too much to mess up the show :(
 
I hope this doesn't end like Voyager -- when poof, they're home, and that's it. I like some of these theories though.
 
We got one of the most intense episodes of the season tonight, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I can't wait for next Friday.
 
WOW!

The characters are back and better than ever! Kickass!

And I got to watch the show in HD for the first time, it's pretty. :)

So who do you think will end up dead next week? :lol:
 
I hope it is good. I finally convinced my wife to watch it with me. I have to get up god awful early tmro to go to the YMCA with her and our daughter.

Agreed. I just want to
punch Gaeta in the face
 
I was always shifty on Gaeta, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and even kinda liked him for a while.

It amazes how well the actor and writers have done in order to make me hate him. But then, of course, anyone who disses Adama like that and isn't Lee, Starbuck, or the chief... well they're dead to me. :p
 
I'm not going to bother reading the posts in this thread, because I don't want to read spoilers, but this show is like crack. I ordered season one on HD DVD for around 10 bucks and thought I would check it out and if I did not like it I was only out a little over 10 bucks with shipping and tax. Now I'm playing catch up because I'm hooked on it and in the past week and a half bought seasons 2 and 2.5. I'm currently downloading seasons 3 and 4 now but will be picking them up after my taxes come in when money is a lot better then what it is now.

One thing I did not like to much was they killed off the presidents aid. I think they could have done more with his character. Also started to think that the end of season 2 was Gaius Baltar dreaming about what would happen if they started a colony on that planet but I guess it really did happen.

There might have been contract issues with that character, but I don't remember exactly.

The producers have expressed regret at the way that went down, called it their worst episode. It was filler trash.
 
Billy wanted to leave the show so they had to kill him off.

And yes the writers admit that a lot of season 2.5 and season 3 is bad and didn't come out anywhere close to what they wanted.
 
[quote name='Over easy']Don't worry! Now you can catch Billy on Knight Rider! [/quote]

Wow.... he is moving on up in the acting world! :lol:
 
Some of the stuff in 2 and 2.5 did seem like it was flller. The one that really comes to mind is the episode where they went around with a news crew and filmed the ship and interviews. That always just says filler episode to me. It seemed like they were just trying to push the rescue mission for caprica back till later in the season. I think they could have had it earlyer then what they did and just make it more episodes then what it was.

Did you not watch the end of that episode? That's a favorite episode of mine that's just a stand alone.

Season 2.5 and three are known for useless filler and badstory telling and Moore admits that it is his fault, and the writers fault and not the acting or producing or anyone elses.

At least part of the problems of season 3 were that Sci-Fi wanted more stand alone episodes to draw in new viewers, which is pretty much impossible with this type of show.

Yes I remember Moore talking about that, however he admitted that several story lines didn't work out during the season because of his bad writing. Most famously was the dreadful and strung out love quadrangle.
 
WTF??? That episode was sick. This entire 1/2 season has been really good so far.
Is Tigh really dead? What is the purpose of the fleet now that there is no Earth to live on? That was Earth, right? Starbuck is a complete badass too - I can't believe she just shot those guys without hesitation.
You never see that on TV. God I love this show.
 
To answer your question, no, and really no considering.

Earth has come and gone, that was Earth, that is the Earth that was talked about, they have found Earth. Obviously it wasn't the promise land.
 
They still never explained how/when their discovery of earth fit in with our own earth reality, which is what everyone was waiting for.

I expect that to be answered, otherwise they are basically saying this whole story takes place somewhere else in the universe, they happened to use the word "earth" and many of our same ancient mythological gods, but otherwise have nothing to do with us - and that would be super gay.
 
The 2 hour "Caprica" movie/pilot will be available to download or buy on DVD starting April 21. Yay! The series still won't premiere until 2010. Boo!

Holy Cow! I wondered where I knew Billy from, it's Billy. He totally makes Knight Rider.

No way... that has to be the dumbest idea ever! Oh yeah.. It's Sci-fi Channel...

The movie/pilot will not be shown until the series is show, which at the earliest will be January 2009.

No, not me. I'm just going along with the ride.

And super gay... your type of show then? :roll:

Great episode as others have said. Just realized today (thanks to my wife) that the actress who plays Pres. Rosaline, is also on Greys Anatomy. I guess she has her future after the show already figured out.

Also, Karl Agathon is on the new show Dollhouse w/ Eliza Dushku. And the Chief was the Casino Dealer on Walking Tall w/ The Rock.


And yes, I loved last night's episode. I was literally at the edge on my seat.

Yeah 2010.

BSG didn't have a miniseries, it was a two night TV movie. A miniseries is something like Crusoe which is shown as a series over several weeks.

Caprica pilot is just a 2 hour long episode.

It was miniseries says so right the box.

I just got cought up to this today. Last nights show was the best since season one. I have to say the last few episodes were the kick in the ass this show needed. I'm still wondering what starbuck is. Is she human or cylon or what. She isn't one of the five and was to far from a reserection ship when she made it to earth. Also the bodie and viper looked like they have been there for a long time. So if she is not a cylon how did she come back from the dead because humans can't do that. Now with the cylon civil war I wonder how long till we see more fighting from it. Also if the 13th colonie was all cylons that left 2000 years ago why did no one remember that at one time humans and cylons lived together. I might have to rewatch all this from the start.

Hrm, when I watched it I assumed that meant there was something wrong with Galactica's FTL. *shrug*
 
Very good episode.

I was waiting for the lawyer to say "The pen is mightier than the sword" after he killed the guard with the pen.

Frak! That would have been perfect on so many different levels.

chief had already taken care of the FTL when he saw the crack. IMO it was more symbolism, the cracking of the alliance between gatta and zarek. Also it might have something to do with a potential crack in the friendship between the friendly cylons and the humans. As for tighs wife, I never really liked her character, but if she resurrected maybe she is with a 3rd cylon group that don't know of the internal civil war.

[/quote]
I think they were stress fractures from age and battle, and Galactica's FTL drive isn't going to last much longer.
 
just saw a preview of next weeks episode. Tighs wife comes back and now she knows she is a cylon. I really could not stand her character. I wonder whos side she will be on. Also with the hub destroid how can she come back? Unless they say that it happend hours befor the ship was destroid.

i hate her...annoying as hell

She is going to be in the remaining episodes, she plays a big role. Also she can come back in several different ways, the hub was destroyed, but there was only one? That's stupid. The final five could have their own hub, that wasn't destroyed. It could have been the only hub and she could have came back to life right away, but it wasn't the right time to return until now.

What I really want to see is her and Caprica Six talk. :lol:
