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

Well maybe some didn't abandone their legacy and let their old civilization be forgotten. Their was what 30,000+ left of them. Who knows maybe another movie will be made showing that. Or it will be shown in The Plan. I have to say I wouldn't let it be forgoten also.
 
They did let their legacy be forgotten, they had to so the cycle of violence and death would end.

They abandoned everything to stop the violence and death. Plus after living on the ships for 4-5 years and running out of food I think everyone would be happy to forget that life. I do find it odd they left the medicine behind. Plus if this really happened then the humans from BSG and us would kill each other through diseases. But it's only a TV show so I'll live.

The Plan takes place in seasons 1 and 2 and will have nothing to do with the end. There will never be a movie taking place on Earth, that would be silly and stupid. That's the ending, live with it, talk about theories,but it's not going to change.

Did it really end though? Adama talked about how technology pushed forward but humanity's wisdom didn't always keep up. They let their wisdom die with them. Starbuck was forgotten, they all were.

Also, does this mean they're the Aryan race?
 
Moore should have ended the show the way his favorite series ended for all the bullshit he will be putting up with.

The BSG is in the middle of the fight, the ship is about to be boarded and all hope is lost and someone screams "Oh my Gods!!!!" and the screen fades to black.
 
So, I guess the question will be whether the complete set will be just seasons 1-4 and Razor or if Caprica will be thrown in as well.
 
The Complete Series on Blu-Ray only will include everything BSG that has been shown on TV so far, and the webisodes.

No Plan (Really dumb move), and no Caprica.

Caprica is it's own series, so the pilot shouldl be on the first season or complete series DVD when that most likely comes out in the Fall of 2010. :lol:
 
Yeah the BD set should have The Plan and is a bad move not to have it. I was not sure what would be in the set and don't know if they have a price set yet. I'm going to guess it will be atleast 300. If they have them on their own I might pick up what I need for the rest of the series that I don't have but I'm not sure. Wish this news would have come out about 2 or 3 months ago when I got hooked on this show. I bought all but season 4 as of right now. Really don't want to double dip.
 
So the ending wasn't exactly unexpected in general. A few points were shots out of the blue: for instance, Tory. It all went so fast in these last episodes that you knew there wasn't going to be satisfactory resolution on a lot of threads. Only the Adama/Roslin love story felt like it was a priority for the writers...everything else was flying by. Enjoyed the ride, anyhow.

I want to second the point about Leoben: that is, follow-up on that character and his relationship with Starbuck. I've never cared for Starbuck or Sackoff's performance, but I was able to overlook it when Leoben was in the room. That actor playing him was also in Fox Mulder's new show on Showtime. It's a crummy show--it's mostly for Mulder addicts (guilty) with some T&A and shaqfu thrown in since it's on Showtime--but Leoben gave a great performance in it. He's got moxie.

That show is garbage on a stick. The first season was half good and half really bad. It was like there were two different writing teams that rarely talked to each other writing the show.

Ah, thanks for the help. Yeah, the show really is shit. Every premise is ridiculous. I tell myself not to watch because I can see how poorly done it is, but the Mulder jones is strong with this one (yes, I saw House of D and it blew goats).

Anyhow (i.e. back on topic), Leoben made the bullshit easier to stomach while he was around. Same goes for Xena/No.3's appearance on Flight of the Conchords. I paid attention to what would be an otherwise dull FOTC season 2 episode simply because the Xena was doin' what she do.
 
The actor that played Leoban is Callum Keith Rennie (sp). I agree he is very good. He is also on the new x-files movie, which is odd. Maybe he is buddies with David Duchovney.

Well seeing how they had a giant war with robots ever 2,000 years or so before, and after "starting over" they lasted at least 150,000 years -- I think that shows they made the right decision.

Is it really a victory to delay the inevitable decision they'll have to make by simply being too primitive?

I'd hang out with the centurions before I'd agree to that. They're the entire legacy of 3 civilizations (the colonies, the first Earth, and the Cylons). Make them the spinoff.
 
Re: the Kara Thrace prophesy, it was always pretty loose and I don't know anyone I watch the show with who took it literally. We knew she figured in somehow, but her being a harbinger of death always seemed to me an easy way for the writers to make Starbuck more angsty and annoying than she already is.

A more fitting complaint over short-changed prophesies, IMO, is that of the Opera House. So somehow there was a greater force guiding these 4 beings to experience a vision of running into one another in a corridor? That's it? When Roslin saw in the vision Hera being carried away into a brightly lit doorway and looking across to see Sharon, she was foreseeing herself in a corridor next to Sharon watching Hera be carried into the CIC? And the CIC is the opera house?

I just don't see the scope and drama of the vision matching that of the event it foretells. It was literal and far too lame. I wonder if Zak Adama ever had a Vision of My Brother Hitting on My Girlfriend wherein he sees Lee and Starbuck groping each other in a circus tent decorated in x-mas tinsel. Because holy shit that would have been right on the money!
 
Well my problem with the god this and the opera house is why did everyone need to be strung along? It was 4 years at least they were floating in space. Why didn't god help the humans get to the point sooner instead of playing games? The reason in real life, there is no god, on the show they needed some lame excuse to have a show.

And yet somehow I'm not bitter or mad about the anticlimactic ending, I'm fine with it, I don't know why.

Sent them back Starbuck so she could get them to Earth.

Surely you've seen her performance in Eurotrip... I think it would be she who was doing evil things to you.

Of course you are totally assuming that "God" was involved at all.

The only fact is there was a third faction at play since the beginning. That's it. They have the ability to make people see visions and time does not seem to affect them. Saying what they are beyond that, is nothing but assumption. Just because some of the characters interpret them as god, doesn't mean it is god.

The finale was very careful to point out that these "head people" could have been angels, or demons, or anything in between. It's also important to point out that we truly do not know their real goals. For all we know they could just be bored advanced aliens meddling with less advanced races.

The nail in your "god theory" coffin is at the end when head six and head baltar were in New York and Baltar said "don't call him god, he doesn't like that".
 
Loved the show. Loved the Finale. Loved the "All Along the Watchtower" references.


Also the Halo nerd in me wants to say that these Gods, Lords of Kobol, God, Demons, Head People or whatever are the Forerunner!



By the way, the numbers Starbuck puts in the FTL drive to go to Earth were: 1123 6536 5321. Those numbers correspond to the original melody Bear Mccreary wrote for his version of "All Along the Watchtower."

Theres no place like 1123 6536 5321!

God is God and he gave us the freedom of choice. otherwise people would not sin.

When you have choice, you also have consequences.
