It was rushed. In the latest podcast, he mentioned cutting a whole act, which, if I understand it right, is about 15 minutes worth of material.
About damn time the real Adama showed up. And that's really all I have to say about that. Interesting choice making Cain a woman. Also interesting how Cain isn't crazy, she's just a bitch. I think it made for a better story to tell. I had a hard time watching Pegasus-Six, which is odd considering I was advocating kicking Caprica-Sharon out the airlock a few weeks ago. Maybe it was the distasteful thought of her getting gang raped against her will, I couldn't say, but there was certainly a difference.

well the Pegasus' cylon (Six) got what was coming to her. i dont know why they opted to keep her alive...if you could call that living. i would've scuttled her thru the airlock a long time ago.
I still don't like sharon but it was comical that Pegasus' men were humping a robot and proud of it. |

Wow. I just watched the new episode.. I'm actually pretty glad that it wasn't the cliffhanger episode.. or I'd go nuts. At least I only have to wait a week.
This show seems to get better and better... anyone else watch it, what do you think? Spoiler: I thought the other commander.. the female one.. had a better plan for assassinating Adama than he did her. They were going to lock down the whole area. Adama just wants Starbuck to go in there and shoot her in the middle of her command room. Should be interesting |

Spoiler: That would be quite interesting. Cain's starting acting a bit crazy and now that some of the details of what's happened have gotten out...well, it looks like she may be a bit kooky after all. Cain sacrificing her ship in her obsession to strike a hard blow against the Cylons would make for some good television. I kind of hope they find some kind of 'cure' for Roslin, no matter how outlandish it may be. These past few episodes she's kind of grown on me. It be a shame to kill her off (for me anyway ) now that I've come around.

I only just descovered the remake by seeing the MiniSeries on Sky (in the UK).
I immediately went and bought the pilot and first series on Amazon to catch up before the second series starts soon.

That's what I love about BG. When they hint at something coming next week (an assisination or two, for example), it happens NEXT WEEK. Other shows seem to hint at stuff for the coming week, something happens.. and you're still left hanging waiting for a conclusion (I'm looking at you, Lost).

Well - you gotta figure a couple things:
- Neither Cain or Adama get capped this week. Too easy. Why build up all that tension and then just drop it? They will find some common ground somehow. She can't be just an evil bitch. Her characher strikes me as more complex (which may just be because I would like to have sex with her...) Maybe she is inspired by Adama or something and sees the error of her ways. That or she gets capped...what do I know? - The Pegasus is not long for this world. Despite the fact that the writers/producers don't show loyalty to the old show (which is great) the story is just a bit out of balance with the two battlestars somehow. Vegas has the over under at two more episodes. Any takers? Couple random things on top of that: - I know some of you listen to the pod casts and such. I really never have so if they explain this somehow, then whoops. I don't feel like I have a clear understanding of how the Pegasus makes it? I mean you have to figure they have networked computers on there. I understand why the Galactica made it. On that same page, those Viper Mark....the new ones whatever .... I thought they could not be flown by normal pilots (anyone except starbuck to my knowledge) without the computers assisting the flight controls and such. How are they ones from the Pegasus able to make it? - Before she is "Lost" (I bet they cut away with the Pegasus fighting to the death without really seeing her destroyed a la the OG commander Cain) I would like to see what the Pegasus can do. I mean so far, we have not really seen a lot from the Galactica. What good is a Battlestar? Lets see it! - What is the Cylon's plan for the Pegasus?

Yea the season is off to a rip-roaring start. No spoilers here but from what I can see, this show is going to keep on producing for the fans once again.
I keep watching DS9 reruns on SpikeTV and everytime I see one I think is REALLY good I notice that Ron Moore produced it.

Ahh, Mondak, good to hear your thoughts again.
And....straight to the white....Spoiler: I just knew Cain was going to get it and I knew it wasn't going to be Adama that had it done. I have to say, I'm glad she's dead, but I'm really disappointed in how it all played out. The escaped Cylon got her...how....convenient. by the way...how creepy was it to hear Cain's XO in the CIC just laughing? I don't know how in the world the Pegasus made it either. I could see missing the initial invasion and such, but my understanding was they'd been engaging Cylons up until they ran into Galactica. Not to mention the big battle tonight....why couldn't the Cylons just open up their visors, do their KITT impression and shut the 'new' battlestar and her vipers down? I've heard all but the last two podcasts and Moore has yet to explain it. I'm glad I'm not the only one irritated by it. Oh and...Spoiler: Adama and Roslin??? What the hell is that all about? Egads.... And who wrote the second half of that script? Good gravy.

guthmund, as usual I disagree with you although I have to admit I am surprised. I mean as a Baltar fanboy, I would think you would love his involvement in this whole thing. (by the way, if you see him, can you ask him if he is ever going to finish that damned Cylon detector or not? We still don't know what they all look like and so that COULD come in handy...) This moment has been building for many seasons. We couldn't figure it out, but this Six is who frees him from that crazy puppetmaster in his head. Interesting concept, but totally impossible. I think there might be a single guard or camera in between the brig and her quarters. Just a thought. I don't want to get all technical and stuff, but they better not keep doing crap like this (see my last post). Sloppy.
Okay - I was wrong that I did not think that they would get capped. What happened worked with what was in my head. I mean - I just could not see Adama or Cain doing it. The fact that a bullet from someone else got her works just fine. Sad I did not see her naked before she was gone. By the way, blowing up all that cylon shit has to give us space for a few episodes of whirlyball or whatever or some space casinos or something. Starbuck has to be hankerin' for a hunk o' tail about now. I was kinda hoping she would dike out with the president before she packed it in, but alas. . . Oh yeah - and Can a brotha get some space battles for gods sake? I mean holy crap! They take two Battlestars against gobs of Raiders, the Cylon's most important ship and Two fraking basestars and all we get is some wide angle shots from 10,000 miles away cut in between images of Apollo floating? Sheesh. I mean, I watch the show for the stories and the charachters, but gimme a couple minutes of space shoot-em-up every once in a blue moon. I still have not seen jack shit of what a Battlestar can do? Oh yeah - and why didn't both Battlestars get hit with like 150 nukes or something?

Man, if you hated that you would've really hated the original idea. Moore talks about (in the podcast which I finally got around to listening to) about how the original idea was for Gina to kill Cain in Pegasus' CIC, which meant killing everyone else in CIC as well before making her escape. So...as unbelieveable as it was that goodwoman Gina managed to kill the Admiral and escape with nary a guard or camera in sight, it could have been much, much worse. Since we're talking about the good doctor...I thought when he swiped Six's Pyramid story and passed it off as his own to get closer to Gina...brilliant. Although, I have to wonder why he chose Gina over Six...

The way he swiped the Pyramid story helped me to understand how the whole Cylon transfer conciousness thing works I think. Tell me if I have this wrong:
So the Six who died on Caprica who worked to get the codes out of Baltar (I am guessing she died here) transfered her conciousness to the other Sixes that were made, but only those who had not yet been "deployed". So lets say that the Six aboard the Pegasus was on it before the Six who was with Baltar on Caprica died, she would not know much about Baltar (only what she knew from being a Cylon and being privy to operations or something). So that means that the Six on the Pegasus was put there after the Cylon attack. Ok - no that doesn't work at all since the Sharon who came back with Helo knew about the Chief .... Okay anyone want to explain it to me?

That being said....TONIGHT'S EPISODE WAS AMAZING. Spoiler: For a moment, I honestly believed that Baltar was going to abandon the Cylons and then....he went and did one of the best 180s I've ever seen. Facinating. The president is not only not dead, but CURED, and by the cylong amalgam none the less!!!! The Six from the Pegusus (corporeal Six) is now in charge of a terrorist group pushing for peace with the cylons. I need to go lie down. |

See? 'one of the best 180s he's ever seen,' Will says... A Baltar convert in the wings, eh?
Quote:
I thought Baltar using the pyramid story was kind of like..."If you're all basically the same then the things that make you (Six) are going to make her (Gina) feel the same way." I'm going to rob from Mary...to seduce the other Mary. Either way, using Six as a baseline for any of the Cylon's behavior or abilities wouldn't work as she seems to be operating on a different playing field and playing with a different rule book. (In his head...not in his head. Canoodling in the lab unseen by any....trying to seduce Adama and seen by all.) I'm not sure how the 'downloading Cylon consciousness' thing works at all. Both the Caprica-Sharon and the Galactica-Sharon were operating in their respective places at the same time. So, how did Caprica-Sharon know about Tyrol? Were they in contact? When Galactica-Sharon was killed did her experiences 'download' to all the Sharon duplicates...active and inactive? For that matter, how did Galactica-Sharon's memories get there? Were they still close enough for the trick to work or did Galactica-Sharon's consciousness go the Resurrection ship? This week's episode was fantastic, by the way. Of course, that's probably tainted by my Baltar fanaticism. Now that Roslin knows there's a connection between Baltar and a known Cylon agent... Well, it looks like Moore and company are finally setting things up for the shit to hit the fan...so to speak. Either way, I'm with willravel....I need to go lie down

I can't wait until the President shoots Baltar in the effing head! That traitor piece of crap needs a bullet for frak sake.
I agree though - nice turn around. By the way - doesn't the president now officially have cylon "cooties"?

How about another way of looking at the Pyramid story as Baltars way of testing whether the 6 in his head is "real" or just psychosis.

Too hot in the hot tub!

As I have been understanding it, all the cylons are individual entities with no nural ties to one another. But if a cylon is destroyed, it's conciousness is sucked back to home base and stuck in another copy of that model. Kinda like "respawning" in video games. Maybe I'm wrong though.

That being said, I don't think so. I think once a cylon is 'in the wild' that they communicate with their 'commanders?' much the same way their human counterparts do. Is that what you meant? Edit: -2 Redundancy apparently I managed to forget reading pixelbend's post and said the exact same thing... I'm going to agree. I think it's like respawning in a video game.

Ok then I'm confused. Because the Sharon that shot Adama and the Pregnant Sharon are 2 different 'entites' that were online at the same time. And yet when pregnant Sharon got to the Galactica, she knew all about her "other self" and the Chief.
