Will... I'm willing to bet Starbuck is real. Imaginary Starbuck I can buy.... imaginary Viper and imaginary DRADIS contact I can't buy that RDM would do that.
The 4 revealed ones were all key resistance members on New Caprica. That's the only thing they all have in common. Now if they are Cylons that would be even more interesting as far as that goes... why did they end up leading the resistance? |

Here's my thought.
Starbuck is now on her second body, having underwent a totally corporeal ressurection. The President is sharing dreams with Hera and Six because she has some hybrid DNA in her body now, due to the cancer "cure". The four revealed are all cylons. |
Terrible Bob Dylan cover.
I have to vent in this episode, that the cover of Bob Dylan that they used was simply awful. Since the show has a lot of it's feel based on music, I think this bad cover really detracted away from the episode right at the key point of revealing the cylons. I just started groaning at that point and gave up on the show.
What was the point of season 3? |
I thought it was a great cover :( Fit quite well in the BSG universe. To each their own though: music is certainly a different experience for everyone. :)
As for the point of season 3? Episodes 1-5 (counting the 2 hour premier as episodes 1 and 2), 11-12, and 17-20 (although 17, "Maelstrom," wasn't a particularly great episode). The other episodes weren't generally all that bad - in fact, I quite enjoyed a few of them - but having so many such episodes in the season really dragged down the momentum. I would have preferred to see them spend the first half of the season on New Caprica - plenty of storylines available there - and then quickly move on to Eye of Jupiter and Rapture in the middle just like it was, followed by Collaborators and then a couple of the more character-based episodes leading the the arc of the last 4. Would obviously require some tweaking to make the episodes fit together that way, but I think the pace would have been much more steady overall. Either way, what's done is done. I'm looking forward to season 4 :) |
SecretMethod70: the only problem with staying on new caprica for half the season is Galactica and Pegasus were somewhere else. doing a storyline on them would be freaking boring all this time. I'm glad they did this way because it had just the right amount of action and not too much galactica/pegasus boringness.
|
While the people were struggling New Caprica, Galactica/Pegasus would be struggling with the debate over whether or not to return and attempt a rescue while also piecing together the puzzle to find earth. For example, Galactica/Pegasus would be discovering the clue to go in the direction of the mid-season planet, which would then make it nice and convenient to quickly go from the rescue to the Eye of Jupiter/Rapture storyline. While the Galactica/Pegasus storylines wouldn't be full of action, they'd be full of at least no less intrigue than we were already given between the rescue and Eye of Jupiter. Alongside that, there would be much MORE action with New Caprica, as opposed to the lack of action that followed the New Caprica storyline. I'm not one to complain about lack of battles and such, but I do think that this season lacked urgency.
Just a thought. Certainly not perfect, and most definitely irrelevant at this point :p |
Hey Secret Method - good to converse again.
During the Occupation/Exodus, the Admiral and Commander would have been thinking: 1. Are there sufficient human beings in the current fleet that would allow us to just bug off? 2. Since the answer to no 1 is no, then what can we do in order to get the humans off of NC and back into the fleet? 3. Thus, the mega battle over NC. After this, the fleet seemed to be in a lull, just trying to get their bearings. But as we were allowed to view life on board the Cylon Basestars, we could see that they are also conflicted as to the direction they should go. I'd like to say, however, that Helo is not exonerated for blowing the chance to end the Cylon threat (regardless of Athena's feelings.) Helo became a traitor by not allowing the virus plan to unfold as ordered. They'd not have cylon probs now if he'd done it! Down with Helo, I say! :thumbsup: |
Holy crap.
I've spent the last couple months catching up on this show, and I just finished watching the Season 3 finale. I loved it. The whole show's been a blast... this season had some slow points, but it ended really well I thought. Lee's speech was great... The outcome of the trial seemed expected, but I at least thought it was well executed. I had no doubt that Starbuck was coming back, so that wasn't a big surprise. Her death was definitely rushed, it seemed obvious that we hadn't seen the last of her. The jury's still out on whether her return was well-done. We'll have to see where they go with it. Also: Lee's encounter with Starbuck was eerily similar to what Starbuck experienced right before her ship blew up. Coincidence? But my favorite aspect was the music they kept hearing. Could you guys tell what song it was, before the four of them started to sing it? I remember Ty saying it the lyric at some point, but I didn't catch on to it being the Watchtower song they were hearing until we saw the montage of them singing it.... which creeped the hell outta me. I was pissed about Gaeta lying on the stand. I had a lot of respect for the guy doing what he could in the rebellion, and standing his ground when Ty and co. were prosecuting the traitors. But then for him to stab Baltar in the back like that was wrong, regardless of one's feelings for the arrogant ass. Was he coerced to lie? And.... 2008? That's a joke, right? :sad: |
Unfortunately not...
But I hear that there is going to be a Pegasus Mini series about the time between the fall and when the two ship meet up. That is supposed to be this fall. I could be wrong, as my wife say that wouldn't be the first time. |

I prefer the Hendrix version.
|
I too prefer either the Hendrix or Dylan versions, of course, but the podcast (by Ronald Moore) for that episode explained it pretty well for me - he basically said that according to the mythos they're developing, it makes sense for there to be a song 'All Along The Watchtower' identical to the one we have...but for Hendrix (or Dylan) to be singing it wouldn't make sense, since there wouldn't be a Hendrix or Dylan in the BSG universe.
Ok, it's a bit of a stretch, but at least it's an explanation. http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/pod |
People may be aware, but just in case...
http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?id=41457 Edward James Olmos scared people by saying the fourth season was the final one, but David Eick said that was not the case. We've got Razor in the fall to tide us over until next year. |

It's bittersweet. I know that something this amazing needs to end on it's own terms, but I'll miss it terribly. It feels like a divorce.

Boomer is hotter than Starbuck (IMHO) especially when she is soaked (Water). - didn't the original Starbuck actor go on to become "The Faceman" in the "A-Team"? I just obtained the 3 seasons on DVD from my neighbour, and have been working my way through them (on Season 1, the episode where they decide to elect a vice-president). Astounding series and I am hooked. I really like the way Olmos does a Horatio Cane, do you think they were tutored by William Shatner? At any rate, he makes the show. -- Just a note on the history/cosmology of the series: I gather that in this universe, Humanity has long ago left the Earth to build an inter-planetary civilisation. It currently appears to be heavy into Greek/Western deities and astrology for cultural/symbolic support. What is the reference to Kobol? One of the planets that has now become ancient in Human history? How long ago in this universe did humanity leave Earth, if nobody knows where it is now? |

Is anyone excited about Battlestar Galactica: Razor?
Is anyone else sad that you have to endure Flash Gordon to watch it? :-) Luckly for me I have Tivo. Fast Forward FTW! |
Quote:
I will get it on DVD in early december. No publicity ;) As for the story itself, might be interesting, but it's season four I want :oogle: |
I tried to give Flash a shot. It is painful. I will wait until I can download the Razor stuff.
|
Agreed on Flash. It's a joke, and not a funny one.
|
The Season 4 Promo is up on Youtube! Enjoy. :)

Battlestar Galactica: Razor Flashbacks (Part 1)
Battlestar Galactica: Razor Flashbacks (Part 1) Please to enjoy. Remember, even though we've all agreed Flash Gordon sucks ass, we get full quality Battlestar during the commercials, brand spanking new. I'd watch Fear Factor if it meant new Battlestar. |
Yay - more Baltar, also glad to hear that this isn't the final Battlestar season!
|
Say what? Yes it is
|
^ Oops - you're right, read the wrong article up at the top, or at least didn't read the article afterwards.
|
The newest Battlestar Razor was awesome. It was nice to see the classic Cylon ships again! WOOT!

Not really a fan of the guy playing young Adama, but the webisodes have been cool nonetheless. Definitely great to see the old style raiders and basestars. Plus, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they made the music more reminiscent of the original series as well, which is cool.
|
Yes they did, but it's still very much Bear.
|
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
I'm either the first or the 100th loser who's came in here and said this. |

I haven't seen any of the Razor flashbacks yet but I watched the Razor movie last night and it kicked ass. I loved the old school toasters.
|
Was it leaked? Is it the joyous time for spoiler tags in the BSG thread again?!
