Anxiously awaited turned into a let down so far.  Seems like one ok episode is followed by an awful one with the 4th being the worst so far.
Whoever wrote the storyline is an idiot, the whole Balthar thing is downright ridiculouse. 
Lee Adama turned into a douchebag? I¦m not sure if I should be looking forward to episode 5 BSG needs more spaceships pew pew and less soap drama!

Yeah, I'm getting the same impression, every time there's a religious or politic scene I just go "Oh, not again..."
I wouldn't mind these bits to be in the storyline, but it gets a bit uninteresting when it's the main focus point.

***Possible Spoilers Below!***
For some odd reason, I have a feeling the Cylon civil war is going to spill over in to the human fleet. With all the political shifts happening with in the fleet, certain factions are begin to grow hostile towards one another. With the Cylons fighting each other, and the Sharon and Six models wanting to reunite with the "Final Five" which they believe are in the fleet, they may end up making contact. Next weeks episode preview shows Starbucks ship meeting with a few Cylons to try and find the way back to Earth. We'll just have to see how things turn out.

Yeah, because the development of a small cult, centred on a charismatic leader preaching a gospel of a single loving God, which grows into a popular movement challenging the established polytheistic worship of Zeus, Ares, Athena etc - that could never happen in real life. Oh ... wait ...
Am still enjoying the series so far here, despite the lack of fancy battle scenes since episode 1 - I have this suspicion that they may, possibly, be developing characters and storylines first so that the action coming later has a context that makes sense. The way storytellers do when given the space to do what they're good at and not pressured by tv and movie execs who understand money and statistics but not drama and craft.

I'd say that so far in season 4 the Colonial side of the story is running out of good plots, but the Cylon side of things has given the show a whole new direction imo.

I suspect they are laying down the ground work for the rest of the season. With a pretty dramatic role change for the final five the writers I imagine have to reafirm that these guys are still the ones we have come to know.
On a related note, did anyone catch how Baltar got up after being struck down by the guard? I wonder if that was a hint that Baltars "imaginary" Number 6 isnt so imaginary.

Baltar's Internal Six has manipulated physical objects before, though I don't think anybody besides Baltar was present at the time. I also suspect that Shelly Godfrey was just Baltar's Six who allowed herself to be seen by others.

14.
2 for Razor, plus the 4 already shown from a season 20.
And I totally disagree. It's been awesome so far. I can't wait for the next.
Baltar's Baltar ghost/eidilon, whatever: hilarious.
Plus they even mentioned Mithras. I absolutely love the religious angle. And the civil war adds so many possibilities. The only problem with episode 4 was the lack of the Cylons.
Plus, Tory is one evil *****. Interesting...

BSG jump the tracks into Bizarro land a long time ago.
Last year I got so sick of it I stopped watching.
Now, since I don't care any more and am just watching to see what happens it's easier to enjoy it.
To a large degree what I'm seeing here are the grasping, pitiful, convulsions of a dying race. They've suffered what was a killing blow at the beginning of the series and are just gasping out their last days in confused self destruction.
The Humanoid Cylon's are all insane, which is about what you would get from trying to program humanity into machines. The problem there is that there are only 12 total models and 5 of those have been inactive up until now. With so few personalities it's to easy to slip over the line without the moderating influence of vast numbers of other personalities. Get half a dozen humans together in a clique and you're going to get some odd slants to the groups direction.
Anyway, it seems that the great strength of this show is in people wanting to see what's coming next and how it all will end - which is why it seems to have such limited appeal in re-runs. Once everyone knows what's happened - there's no interest in watching it again.
*shrug*
Like I said, I've long since ceased to care about the show but I'll watch it just to see how all of this finally ends up.
Which is more than I could say for Voyager. Once the half Klingon engineer whose name I'm not going to try to spell without looking it up got pregnant I just couldn't stand to watch a bunch of excruciatingly baby centric episodes so I just stopped. Tuned in for the finale but was busy playing a game while it was on so didn't catch much of that. Yeah, yeah, desperate measures, yeah, yeah super worm hole, yeah OK they're back - the end - thank goodness. 7 of 9 was the only reason I watched that show as long as I did.

I didnt like how chief's wife died, Stupid way to go really. They are starting to show that some of the people on the bsg are idiots. I am also starting to get the feeling that they have few good episodes left wth earth and all that, and are jsut filling up the gaps with random crap.
Killing off teh good cylons, kililing of chief's wife, and letting balther live to be a messiah, Since when to random chicks at a young age jsut get up and decide to make a religion of ther own? and hot the heck did that baby get betteR? |

I've been wondering about her for a long time, actually.
More and more now I'm beginning to think that there is a third power involving itself in things aside from the Humans and the Cylons, possibly the "Original Programmers" or the "God" that the Cylons worship.
If the Six in Baltar's head is just a delusion, why is she right so much? If you look back through the series she has consistently saved his ass, from creating a functional Cylon detector to guiding his actions to form the cult. It's far too much to be a simple coincidence, in my opinion.
And then you throw in the fact that the same type of apparition has appeared to Caprica 6 in the form of Baltar, and even to Baltar himself at one point. Waaaaay too much to be a coincidence. |

My dad *****ed a joke about that very same thing.
I wonder what Athena would do if she learned atleast 3 of the final five are people she knows/close to.
I wonder if the final five are so diffrent from the other cylons as well, if you recall, Boomer and the Chief were an item for a decent amount of time yet Boomer didnt seem to notice even after realizing she was a cylon. Considering the cylons have some sort of ability of picking out individuals in a group (IE Athena reconized Boomer just by looking at her) it would seem odd that they wouldnt reconize the final 5 even if the final 5 didnt know themselves.
Maybe the final five are infact humans that were just slightly altered by the cylons and so their level of technology isnt nearly as high? Heck in the mini serise they were hanging around in that storm around the station and none of them started to break down even (though that may simply be a loop hole in the story).

What really interests me about these two "imaginary" characters is how they differ in their perspective, for example with regards to the colonies, one saw it as part of a divine plan, the other states it was nothing but murder (or words to that effect).

And when are they going to bring out the cylon Dreadghount? I mean, If you read some of the BSG books, the ones about some secret missions before the cylon attack. It mentions a Great dread built by man, And bit more detailed as you go thru the book.

The final Cylon is probably Baltar.
While he wasn't hearing All Along the Watchtower, he did say he was hearing some other music. Or he's just lost a few more marbles.
Could explain Six as well.

Speaking about one Cyclon recognizing another, I wonder if they just don't have some continuity problems.
Starbuck's husband is recognized by a raider across some distance of space while each is in their space ship (of course the raider is a space ship) but - the 6 in the cell with Col. Tigh gets much, much closer to him ... in fact she looks like she was about to have sex with him and yet she couldn't tell he was a Cylon.
Of course then you have Col. Tigh seeing his wife's face on the 6 he was talking to - while she clearly did not realize that he was seeing her that way.
This would tend to make the phantom Cylon's Baltar and others talk to seem more internal halucinations that something real.
And yet - we've seen these halucinations act on material objects - such as lifting Baltar to his feet.
Maybe the 12th Cylon isn't a physical Cylon at all. Maybe it's a virus with telekinetic power ...
*shrug*
Maybe Baltar is a Cylon and they lied to him when they said he wasn't ...
Another odd thing about Baltar's Cylon test - it showed that Boomer was a Cylon but not any of the other members of the crew who presumably all took it.

Well there's several different ways to look at that: - Until now he's been a "sleeper" and if you look back at the ep where the raider recognises him you do see a reaction at his end to (his eyes flicker red briefly) which could be the Cylon equivalent of an IFF burst. - It's never actually been stated that the Raiders or even the Centurions do not know who the final five are. The Raiders can't talk and until the very recent episodes the Centurions have had their "higher brain functions" suppressed so they follow orders without question.
Originally by: Candice Bormardin

This is open to interpretation. When we see the hallucinations interact it could simply be that we're seeing this happening from Baltars perspective (which would make sense given we're watching him interact with someone who isn't there). It could simply be that he's physically interacting with whatever he "sees" Six doing and not realising it. Of course this means that the imaginary Six does have the ability to manipulate him in a quite powerful way.
Originally by: Candice Bormardin

It seems unlikely, the creators themselves said he isn't but I've been wonder recently if he could be one of these "original programmers". We don't really know anything about the nature of these people and Baltar does seem to be tied to the Cylons in some form.
My other theory right now is that Starbuck may actually be the first Hybrid and the final Cylon (one of her actual parents) is on Earth already, I don't really have anything in the way of evidence, it's just a fun bit of random speculation I've made for now.
Originally by: Candice Bormardin
Another odd thing about Baltar's Cylon test - it showed that Boomer was a Cylon but not any of the other members of the crew who presumably all took it.
He did state pretty clearly that he rigged it so it would show everyone as human "as it would cause less trouble" - I can't remember his exact words since it's been a while but the meaning is basically the same. It's also implied that he rigged the test right after Boomers as hers was the initial trial followed by the the constant switching between Adam/Rosylens where he reveals the test is now rigged.

Well, I thought the reason that the raider recognised Anders was because he transmitted something to it. Remember he was about to shoot it, then he couldn't due to a "rookie error", then the raider spins round to shoot him. Suddenly, Ander's eyes flash red and the raider does a U-turn and the battles over.
Seems to me like some sort of OMFGEMERGENCY protocol went off in Anders, and the raider received a transmission from him with new orders (to bugger off). Seeing as that didn't happen with Tigh and 6, Tyrrol and Boomer or Baltar and anyone, we can assume that none of them were recognised to each other. ------

I think that there's something special about the raiders, to be honest. When the human cylons were debating whether to lobotomize them or not, they spoke about the Original Programmers designing the raiders for a purpose, and that they shouldn't tamper with their designs. I think that the raiders have some form of innate ability to recognize the final five cylons. Do the centurions have this ability as well? Impossible to say as they haven't encountered any since the four of them realized they were cylons.
Quote: Maybe Baltar is a Cylon and they lied to him when they said he wasn't ...
No way...given how they speak of the final five cylons, there would have been a noticeable change in their behavior towards him - specifically, they wouldn't have been so easily considering executing him on New Caprica when they forced him to sign the death warrant. ---------------- Tarminic - 35 Million SP in Forum Warfare Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

Edited by: Jonathan Calvert on 29/04/2008 18:54:04 I agree, too much drama, not eneough scifi and pew pew. Compare the first season when they built a stealth Viper, and had to mine a planet for fuel to now when they barely run into a Cyclon fleet anymore. Whats the point of this show anymore? Star Trek has the same fate when they tried some series long story arc instead of just 1 hour of entertainment.
And I think the final Cyclon is Baltar, the President, or Starbuck.

Yes, god forbid the explosions take a backseat to character development! 
I like the fact that they don't get involved in an epic battle every other episode. Hell, if they did they'd run out of ammo, fighters, and crew in no time.

I definitely tend to agree. I'd be bored sick of it if the program was nothing but shakey-cam explosions the whole time.

4th episode sucked though, seriously. It was somehow ridiculous at times, made me lose interest. Hasn't happened before.
I guess too much of the "crazy" stuff in one episode isn't a good idea.

the final cylon will be tom zarek (richard hatch).
cue the scene (and its composition) where he's talking to lee adama about "the truth staring you in the face".
it's him. just you wait. (he's the only one connected to the old series too - and R & D are not above playing "meta-games" with both series...)

I have the feeling that the producers are showing a darker days to the fleet and to the Cylons in this first episodes.
We have Cylon civil war, divisions inside the Galactica, religious cults apearing everywhere, cylons inside the Galactica fighting with themselves to understand what they really are and so on.
I think this initial episode phase will be about the inner struggles of everyone.
Something tells me also that after this we will see some great action moments.

Compare the first season when they built a stealth Viper, and had to mine a planet for fuel to now when they barely run into a Cyclon fleet anymore. Whats the point of this show anymore? Star Trek has the same fate when they tried some series long story arc instead of just 1 hour of entertainment.
Yes, god forbid the explosions take a backseat to character development! 
I like the fact that they don't get involved in an epic battle every other episode. Hell, if they did they'd run out of ammo, fighters, and crew in no time. Plus, it makes the awesome battles even cooler.
I definitely tend to agree. I'd be bored sick of it if the program was nothing but shakey-cam explosions the whole time. The reason I like BSG over others of it's types is the dark, gritty character development. The awesome looking battles are some of the series highlights, but not the point of watching the show.

Except theres been almost no conflict with the Cylons this season. At the very beginning we had a small fight, and they all fled. Now its just drama. The point of this show is that humans have been almost wiped out by the Cylons. The only drama we should have is Why did the Cylons do this? And how do the humans survive and fight back. Instead we get political intrigue about some religious crap, some religious crap from toasters, and now more religious crap with Balter and his Harem. Im not asking for for all fighting, although with the last season upon us, youd think wed be at the climax. Heck, I can watch any number of drams on tv to get the exact same thing. BSG is a space scifi, and people watch it because of the scifi and the space, not unoriginal plots.

You don't represent my viewing tastes, gg.
(personally I'd much prefer them doing something innovative than getting stuck in a percieved genre boundary. Since they 'reimagined' it BSG has never been a space scifi - it's always been part drama, part sci fi, part action, part opera-epic and so on. I agree it's started a little slow given where they left off, but that's fairy normal for the beginning of a season to 'reset' the intrigue, even in the last season, to give the writers something to build up to)

I almost completely agree with you! I like the depth and the darkness about it, although i do wish they would have a few more dark deep stories that involved weaponry.. such as the one with the raider that they kept losing pilots too, loved that one (scar was it?)

Here's the deal:
The Lords of Kobol create Man (subservient automaton for carrying out chores). Man develops a 'soul', fights with his creators, and is expelled from Kobol. Did Man exterminate the Lords of Kobol in a furious act of genocide...? I don't know.
The next we hear about man is that he has established twelve seperate and entirely unique colonies. There are myths of a thirteenth.
Man creates Cylon, a subservient automaton for carrying out chores. Cylon develops a 'soul', fights with his creators, and is expelled from the colonies.
The next we hear about the cylons is that they have evolved themselves into twelve seperate and entirely unique models - and then they do exterminate humanity in a furious act of genocide.
And... um, now the cylons are lobotomising their raiders? Making them subservient automatons...

Finally; the serpents numbering two and ten - were they Roslin's hallucination, or in fact Vipers?

No, dumbing down the raiders is the attempt to make sure they dont get a soul and rebel....A wise decision from 1, but the mental behaviour of 6 is puzzling.

I dont have any proof to this or not but I suspect that Roslin is not going to live to see the end of the season and her replacement will be Lee. I doubt the remaining powers that be would let zeric reclaim the role of presidency and he knows it. Lee is also quickly gaining popularity with his in roslins face approach among his fellow corum members. Just a thought.

I understand, but you could have just addresed the comments I made instead of attacking my posting style. Using generalities is common in debate. Havent you ever said, "everyones ****ed about boot.ini getting deleted" or "everyone hates war". When someone used the WE or EVERYONE they are expressing their opinion that those groups agree, or at least the general consensus. Again, this thread is backing me up. Most people seem to think that more action is needed, and less drama.

Most people seem to think that more action is needed, and less drama.
To clarify:
When you saw my response of "You don't represent my viewing tastes, gg." you interpreted this as not allowing you to "express your opinion" and you now view it as "attacking your post style."
When I saw you state "the only drama we should have..." and your statement of why "people watch it" I interpreted it as not conceeding a contrary opinion could exist or be valid. (If I was going to be really sensitive about it, I'd suggest it doesn't allow me an existence let alone an opinion! )
It might be common to generalise, but speaking for others is guarenteed to come off arrogant to people who disagree with you. (as I'm sure this explanation is coming across as patronising) As for the thread backing you up - are you concerned about the right to 'express your opinion' or do you see a debate as something to be 'won?' (and yes, I know I wrote 'gg' but I was joking )
A common consensus of what people like probably isn't going to change what I like. (and really it's not surprising if the majority of people want pew pew on a forum about internet spaceships!) That doesn't mean if I hear a good arguement I won't take it on board, but with something as subjective as opinions of a TV show there's little you can really debate apart from the facts which make up those opinions. (I like this and so should everybody else isn't really an arguement)
I did address the content rather than style of your arguement in the brackets, feel free to focus on them instead of posting style and I'll do the same. 
If it helps, I didn't mean to personally attack you anymore than I'm sure you didn't mean to talk for me, deny me a view or imply my taste is crap.
Bottom line is one of semantics, as most forum disputes are. We're creating more drama BSG is, though we aren't nearly as entertaining. 
TL;DR Kiss and make up?

Ooh - why didn't I think of that? I've been holding to the idea that Leoban was telling the truth when he told the President "Adama is a cylon" right back in the first season, but it never occurred to me to connect to an Adama from the original series. I think I'd actually be quite happy to see that Zarek as the final Cylon now  Trinity Nova Mercenary Services Web Site - Nominated for the 2008 E-ON Magazine Awards |

I have a feeling that by the end of the series it will transpire that the BSG and convoy will reach earth and it will be uninhabited, and settle there, with renegade cylons, 6's and boomer's and it will turn out that it is the foundation of modern humanity on earth, with the followers of the old gods settling in italy and the followers of the one god settling in the fertile crescent (palistine)

ok i watched the first 4 episodes. TBH reckon that writer strike they had back along affected this season...
I actually found myself browsing eve-o forums during some parts of this season.
After reading whats to come on tv.com well i cant say im looking forward to it.. at all.
Another truce with the cylons... christ sake i wanted to see them hunt them down until we found earth, find out earth has some **** off big guns and watch a massive war and live happily ever after; cue unanwsered questioned ending for a possible film; then wait for the video game to be realeased LOL.
I do want to be surprised ofc, but tbh im bored already. Ugh... Prolly would have given it more slack if it wernt so long since i watch the previous seris, left us all on such a high aswell!

i dont think it will be any character that is currently portrayed in the BSG version of "the last supper" that is currently on display on the bsg website. it is interesting to "read" the photograph though - in the context of the original painting. for thos that havent, y'all should read the art history interpretation about daVinci's "Last Supper": its very interesting...
i also dont think it will be another "main" character; they already shot their wad with at least 2 (tyrell and colonel tigh) main characters turning out to be cylons.
starbuck is a red herring. shes not a cylon. her "arc" is there to fool you into suspecting she is. her "arc" is about knowing who you are in the face of total doubt and "believing in yourself".
i have a suspicioun that the final cylon will one who was present >on the planet< where they found out about the nebula. lucy lawless sees who the final cylon is on that planet and is immediately like "oh its you!", which to me suggests it was one of those present (on the planet). she hadnt met many (if any at all) other "humans" before that story-arc.
that leaves zareck (richard hatch). (who was present on the planet, who was also a freedom-fighter fighting for equal rights everywhere, who was an adama, who tells lee he hopes he will do the right thing "when truth is staring you in the face")

We're all forgetting someone important.
Anastasia Dualla
Leoben said that "Adama is a Cylon," correct? Well this obviously suggests the Admiral or Lee. BUT!
We've all forgotten that even though everyone still refers to her as "Dualla," she's married to Lee, and there's been noting in the series to indicate that they're divorced, only separated. Which makes her legal last name - that's right - Adama.

I think the cylon she saw there was actually Anders, hence why she asked for forgiveness (remember she was about to kill him when they were buried under the ruins of the bomb on Caprica). It would make sense she'd think "oh****" when she realised one of the final five she'd been searching so hard for was someone she almost killed.

Except Leoben has made accurate prophecies in the past, and seems to know a whole lot of things that he shouldn't. For example, he knew of Starbuck's "special destiny" and knew that Starbuck would tell him that she loves him (which he did).

So I just watched the latest BSG, and uhhh...I think because of that there should be such thing as character overdevelopement..
I meant come on, we need more pew pew. |

Or atleast somekind of developement(finding earth and getting allies or a warfare type of build up).
I mean BSG is starting to turn into a scifi reality tv show where you have alot of anti social people beating the frack out of eachother and ultimately do not progress. |

I'm actually wondering if I should keep watching this at all.
Haven't ever before fast forwarded through parts, but when Baltar's harem crap started for the 3947543543453854th time, I went after the FF button =/ |

BSG is turning into a soap opera in space. The Cylon insurrection was interesting. I liked that part. This stuff with Baltar needs to stop though. I find that character extremely boring now. The crazy Cylon lady thats in his mind is fine but this religious crap needs to go. |

battlestar always has been a soap opera in space. both in the late 70's and now
its a character drama first and foremost. that being said, you like it or you dont. what you are witnessing now is something most shows wont ever attempt, the finalization of a plot line.
we could have more pew pew (and i'm all for it) and they could continue to try and escalate the stakes and keep the show running forever and ever and ever.... and like most shows that do that, after season 6 everyone would say 'they should have quit while they were ahead'.
i find this 4th season to be pretty intriguing. we are seeing the characters morph into what will eventually climax into a great grand finale. its a tragedy, so this is the downward spiral and i really dont think i've seen a show this good ever.
to each their own. personally, it doesn't get any better than this. if todays tv shows were books, i look at bsg as classic lit / Shakespearian even where the run of the mill are more like harry potter / eregon / what have you
(terrible analogy i know, but i think it sort of applies) bottom line, it breaks the mold, i like that. it does it w/ depth and consistency and in a very artistic way.

Potential SPOILER: In last episode they will attack each others near Earth, in massive blob fest, system will lag and node crash. Carebear Earthlings will petition to God about how dangerous is to fly around, then He will send giant solar storm to wipe em all. Starback and Apollo will be the only survivors, with great duty to repopulate Earth again. Last scene: Apolo is playing with their 20 kids, Starbuck is waving to them, than she looks straight in the camera, puts evil grin on her face, her eyes turns into red and history rewinds. The End

Just finished this weeks episode. I would say it was better than the last few but still nowhere near what it was. It is very obvious that the writers are trying desperately to keep us holding on.
In the middle of this episode I thought, "this is why books and movies will never come close to TV". Simply put if your reading the book or watching the movie you already paid for it. No need to hold the action back.
The good news is I can cancel my cable subscription knowing I'm not missing anything and keep a few bucks out of the pocket of my crappy cable provider (charter).
I still think BSG is the best sci-fi series produced but its over. My second favorite was farscape, they kept it going all the way to the end.

god i hope not, but they sure seem to be heading in that direction
this last episode was pretty cool. the whole boat crossing the river thing gave me a flashback of an old macgyver episode.
looks like admiral adama and athena are the only characters that haven't done a complete 180.
wondering what they gonna do w/ this basestar and the 'free thinking' cylons. and better question, what are they going to do w/ that hybrid. did they kill it or just turn it off for a bit?

They disconnected the hybrid, it's not been explicitly stated whether this killed it or not. They said disconnecting would probably kill it. That centurion certainly thought they were killing it.
I can't wait until next week when the Demetrius turns up with a cylon base-star in tow. The look on Adama's face is going to be brilliant  --------------------------------------------------------------------

And Roslin: "It's another Cylon trick!"
And of course the Demetrius will fail to use good tactics, such as leaving the basestar one jump back while the Demetrius goes ahead to explain what's going to happen, in order to forestall any jumpy gunners launching nukes when the basestar arrives. ---- What part of "shorn't" do you not understand? |

I wonder what is going to happen to the cylons when they finally manage to put faces to the final five. Remember when Diana did that in her vision, she went into a self destruct mode but was saved because the ressurrection ship was in range, these cylons dont have that luxery anymore.
If they do go into a self destruct mode I would imagine that the colonials will try to use the final 5 as a mass weapon on the other cylon faction, given how they were willing to infect them with that virus I wouldnt put it past them. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

And since Cara needs to know who the final 5 are, why doesn't sanders just say, she wont kill him if she needs him.

Edited by: Minmatar baby on 19/05/2008 12:27:15 I hope Athena is getting punnished for killing Natalee.
Come on, she had no reason or right to shoot her, after all, its was a Ally, and if she get¦s away with this, its just a bit lame..
she wasent even the one in her dream.. (it was six)
also:
I've been thinking a lot about the oft echoed prophecy of the hybrid that, Starbuck:
"Is the harbinger of death, [and] will lead them all to their end"
Especially in the context of this episode, where Natalie speaks to the quorum about the fact that mortality can, in effect, make the cylons "whole" - perhaps Starbuck will be the one to destroy the resurrection hub, and in doing so, make the Cylons "whole".
In this manner, she would lead them to a meaningful existence, and lead them to their "end" - yet in a very positive way.

Didnt the preview for this week show Natalee in an intensive care unit? I could have sworn there was a second or two showing her in what looked to be a surgery area.
Athena getting punished is going to be a grey area. At this point in time the cylons havent proven their worth yet, if anything Athena may get a slap on the wrist like Cally got for shooting boomer. Furthermore, I doubt these cylons would demand her blood, they consider her blessed for giving birth to Heria.
As for her shooting Natalee even though she wasnt the one from her vision, keep in mind that vision kept flashing in and out, her daughter litterally said bye to her and she has a book full of drawings of number 6, in short shes a mother on a mission to defend her child and will kill anyone who stands in her way, which was Natalee. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

the harbinger of death thing had me for some time till this whole 'no more resurrection' thing entered the picture.
and she is hot w/ crayons too. while i wouldn't mind letting her melt some crayo... erm ahem. back to the topic!
no way natalie6 is going to die, not gonna happen, calling it now. i think the thing w/ athena and her kid is going to play out as a self fulfilling vision between her and the president.

Nah, can't be. They need it to be someone big enough that even the casual viewer will go "OMG! NO WAI!". They arn't gonna make it some guy who a non-addict could well have missed had they been away for an episode or two. It'll be someone who was in it from the start. - Violence isn't the answer, it is the question. The answer is yes. |

I don't agree at all, and I stand by my previous guess of Zach Adama. He was never in it, but has quite a presence. So does the lawyer.
The only thing they can't do, if they have any clue, is make it someone completely new so that there's a scene of, "OMG, you're the fifth Cylon!!!! Who the hell are you anyway?"
Zach can at least provide Apollo or Adama with an anagnorisis on the scale of Euripides, or even one of the talented Athenian playwrites.

I remember reading the only real reason the character was killed off was because the actor at the time wasn't prepared to commit to a long term contract. Tory who is now one of the final five was basically a replacement character for Billy assuming his role.

I've always wondered why no one has ever suspected Dr Cottle (sp?) as the final five. Every one is suspecting one of the 3 Adama(s), Roslyn, most of the main cast, etc, etc.
Here we have the Dr who is an observer. He does not show much hatred to anyone including the cylons. Remember when he was performing surgery on the injured Cavel on New Caprica? When Diana (the 3) asked him whose blood it was and he said it does not matter whose. Life is life to him - he treats both species as precious.
I suspect him the most. |

Season 1 and 2 were great, but the series has gone downhill since then. The writers keep creating new plot elements and then dropping them without explanation.

Ive noticed a rather interesting trend:
Caperica 6 Sharon Tyrol Tigh Anders Leoben
What do these 6 characters have in common? 1. They are Cylons
2. They are involved with a human in a romantic relationship, either recipicated by the human or one sided.
3. Of the 12 cylon models, these are the most human like in personality. Caprica saved baltar in the mini serise and repeatedly kept the other cylons at bay for him on New Caprica. Sharon went against her cylon mission and went with Helo even after becoming pregenant and so on.
Caprica 6 to Baltar Sharon to Helo Tyrol to Cally Tigh to Ellen Anders to Starbuck Leoben to Starbuck
Now when you look at the other cylons:
Doral Simon Cavil D'anna Tory
You will note three things as well.
1. All five have little to no compassion for human life. IE Cavil proposed the nuking of new Caprica, Tory vented Cally after securing Nicky, Simon was into that mass baby boomer facility, and so on.
2. All five models do not have romantic interests in humans, but are not above having sex with a human to get what they need.
3. All five have a cold, calculated personality.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. Of the 11 out of 12 known cylons, 6 models have a relationship or connection to humanity in some way and the other 5 do not. If this is to be believed, and assuming the writers are going for a measure of balance between the cylons then it means that the final cylon will likely be cold, calculated, and likely uncaring of humanity.
I know of only 1 person on the cast that was recently introduced that fits the bill, Lampkin.
1. He doesnt care if his clients win or lose 2. Hes manipulative 3. Hes a lawyer 
Thoughts? Should I go to the cookoos nest for this one? |

Very good points, Jacob. But you have one problem: Sharon, i.e. Boomer, isn't a "good" Cylon. She sided with Cavil. You should change it to Athena, to differentiate between the two. Athena is more like the other models than Boomer is, since only Boomer voted with the "bad" Cylons.
I'm leaning more towards the lawyer, but still hold out that Zach or Billy could be 12. |

I should diffreniate, though in defense even Helo refers to Athena as Sharon. I wonder though if this is just a shared name between Athena and Boomer or if the entire model 8 serise is named Sharon. |

I think it comes down to the fact that Athena was originally impersonating Boomer in order to gain Helo's trust. So they're both Sharon's, but Athena has gone out of her way to differentiate herself as the Athena-Sharon, rather than the Boomer-Sharon.
But, yes, the entire line is called Sharon in an unofficial sort of way. The humans have named each version after the first one they encountered who had a name. So there's Cavil, Lehoben, Simon, D'anna, Caprica, Sharon, and the news guy. The Cylons have taken up this mechanism to make it easier to differentiate the models to humans. But only the individual units of each version have a name: there's a Cavil 1, a Caprica 6, a Sharon/Boomer 8, an Athena 8, etc. They seem to use their number when referring to each other in general, unless they're addressing the actual entity in question.

The twelth cylon is going to be Maddog. He has omgwtfNOWAI factor as well as he could be the specific final Cylon Xena was refering to in the temple. The thirteenth cylon (one for each tribe) is going to be Billy and he will be the king of the Cylons (this I threw in jokingly ofcourse but I wouldent rule out a 13th Cylon). I also believe Tom Zarek could be a Cylon, he has the whole No Wai(!) factor rolling for himself and I personally think a show willing to metagame (Leoben: "Adama is a Cylon" Zarek played Adama in the original series) is awesome.
****SPOILER ALERT***** The earth they find will be a post apocalyptic late 21st-22nd century earth covered in ruins. The final five are considered "Cylons" because they (just like the rest of the earthlings) believe in "the one true god" that the Cylon's believe in (although that doesent explain Anders glowy eye). The final five were sent from earth to warn both the Cylons and the Earthlings of the futility of warfare and peace and happiness rules amongst them all forever more.

That had to be the absolutely perfect reaction Sual could have made to that observation.
Im still of the opinion that our lawyer friend is one of the final five, if not a bit crazy for imagining his dead cat (seriously, wtf? why a dead cat?!) -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

*spoiler alert*
Tigh got 6 pregnate. It was prevously stated cylons couldnt procreate with other cylons. Does this mean that Tigh isnt really a cylon afterall or are the final five a "diffrent type" of cylon? Is the unborn the final cylon to be revealed? If not does this mean the unborn is a "thirteenth model"?
Also, I wonder if Roselin will not be returning from the cylon base ship. Given that she has cancer and has been portrayed that she wont live to see earth, and with Lee the acting president, I wonder how that will all work out. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

It was stated that the cylons couldn't figure out why they couldn't get pregnant, so they tried an experiment to see if the missing attribute was love (the whole Helo/Sharon thing back on Caprica in season 1). Though it seems to have worked, it seems an odd hypothesis to start with; humans create pregnancies all the time in situations where there is clearly no love felt (e.g. rape). Nor does it seem likely that Saul is really in love with Caprica. I suspect there's something else at work that was preventing cylon pregnancies.
IIRC, there's also a cut scene where D'anna refers to Hera as "Thirteen".

Did ANYONE notice the Empyrean Age teaser that was used as an EVE Online commercial during the second to the last commercial break on BSG last night????
http://www.eveonline.com/empyreanage/index.html (Teaser 1)
I was laying in bed sick with a fever watching BSG and I saw this EVE online commercial on TV (SciFi HD) and it gave me goose bumps. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake or not delerious. At first it didn't even compute, I thought it was a new game, like a BSG game, then I was like HOLY **** that's an EVE commercial on TV (US)!!

They are Human Cylon hybrids though, a point made quite clearly by Baltar when it used Heras stem cells to temporarly cure Roslins cancer. What Saul and Caperica have going though is a 100% cylon offsping on their hands if it is indeed Saul's (my dad made the interesting point that it could be possible more then one person was visiting Caperica). -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

It could actually be Baltars as he was sleeping with her back on the base star before being captured although I'm really not sure exactly how much time has passed since then.

True, though I would say atleast 3-4 months in the BSG universe have passed from the end of Baltars threesomes with Caperica and Diana to now so wouldnt there be atleast some physical indications in Caperica of her pregnancy around now atleast?
Damn, I wonder if the child in Athena, Roslins, and Caperica's dream is even Hera now. They never show the childs face right? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Found this while browsing the Youtubes. I present you with .... the 1 minute per season funny BSG recap video! "Bad Boomer!" 
Also entertaining, a movie in 9/11 conspiracy style dealing with the fact that the Cylons never actually nuked New Caprica, but that something else was used instead. Yes, you heard it right, the nukes are a lie!
(No, both of these are not rickrolls, I swear)
More on topic, I just got up to speed on the latest episodes, and watching them all reaffirmed my belief that this is probably one of the best sci-fi series out there. Seriously, the wild plot and excellent character development are stunning imho. That last episode was pretty damned good.
Bets on who the final Cylon is: Either Romo Lampkin, Tom Zarek or Gaeta, with Gaeta being the least favorite of the choices...

She also has guards and security cameras on her 24/7 except when Saul is visiting. There's no way that anyone else could have been responsible, I don't think.
Plus, this alone suggests that the final five are fundamentally different from the other 7 human cylon models, as they can't have children. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

I don't know mhow accurate this is, or even if it's well known and I am behind the times, but according to the IMDB there is at least one more episode in June, thats 10 episodes from this last season, then at least 9 or the last 10 are due for broadcast in 2009

I've been betting on Tom Zarek since the season started because:
- hypotheticaly thinking: he already knows he's the 5th, thus resulting in his previous crimes of terrorism (as well as would also give credence to his constant political character manipulations) - he's not in the "last supper" BSG image that was released, where the directors said that everyone in the picture who is not a cylon is not the 5th - it's a nod to the old series - This is going to sound dumb and is not really worthy of a bullet point, but being bored at work and reading here and there, I just realized, if you count the letters in his name, "tom zarek" has the same number as "the fifth."

There's the obvious places where you can find information necessary to share data between many peers, if you will. I usually get the HD versions of the episodes about an hour after they're aired online, which is more than fast enough for me 
Edit: This episode might be one of the better ones yet I think. I'll refrain from further comments until everyone has had a chance to see it though :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I don't think CCP regards posting links to such material or software as a favorable action, so I'll refrain from posting direct links.  If someone else feels the need to invoke the wrath of the forum mods, they're free to go right ahead.
Well then do me a favor and evemail me the info or something if u get a chance. I cant get cable at my house (too far out in the sticks) and the mountain blocks my satelite signal, and im dying to see "Hub". Again thanks in advance. |

I've never seen an episode of BSG, more-over i've never seen a single second of an episode of BSG, however, as with all sci-fi based series they all follow a set formula. Name any sci-fi series and its always the same .. stick with me here ...
Initially, they are ALL cgi heavy, this is to draw you into the series. Slowly they get more 'soapy' as this is far cheaper to make than cgi heavy episodes. ALL series will get a set fiscal amount per series. The writers/ producers/ directors have to make that money last. So they have to save money by making some episodes far cheaper to save money for the more expensive episodes IE: spaceships pew pew ones. Therefore they have to get 'soapy' to a) lay a future plotline b) expand character development c) save money. Therefore far more episodes take place on a planet / caves / ship corridors etc as these are incredibly cheap in comparison. I dont know the financial details of BSG but I do know that by series 3 of Star Trek Next Generation, each episode was only given 1 million dollers per episode. A CGI heavy episode would cost in excess 2 million so they had to save that money from somewhere. Therefore ST got more 'soapy' to save money. Purely financial. This will be true for BSG as well. If you want more BSG you have to balance the fact that to get 3/4 spaceship pewy pewy ones you need to put up with 20 'soapy' ones. Otherwise they would never raise the money to continue making BSG at all.

I recall reading that towards the end when SG-1 was still playing the average episode code about 2 million to produce. I think that was after they blew up the piramad (sp) (I recall someone actually saying they were over budget with that episode and worried that would cause the show to be canned). -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

It wasnt the Seaon Finale. This is the final season, SciFi likes to split the season into two smaller seasons, we got the mid season finale. Galactica will likely be back around September. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Btw baltar is the cylon, dianna said the final cylon wasnt in the fleet, so that means either the pesident or baltar...
And dianna already said the president isnt a cylon.

If baltar was the 5th 3 would have said so out right. She is/was on a holy quest to bring all her people under one roof.
This means 2 possibilites.
1. The child growing in Caperica is the 12th model as he/she would be the first pure cylon offspring. However this is unlikely as 3 has seen all 5 faces.
2. The final cylon is alive on earth somewhere which means the planet isnt entirely dead. This is the more likely option and makes the most sence as the final 5 have been or were orginally from earth. This also explains the unique viper and the signal the other four were getting. However given that signals take time to travel in space the question is how long ago was the signal sent from earth. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

I'm Aware. This is the end of season 4.5. September is optimistic, unless you mean September 2009...

The final five were sent from earth to warn both the Cylons and the Earthlings of the futility of warfare and peace and happiness rules amongst them all forever more.

Whoever the final cylon is they had all been to Earth before. Something tells me those cylons were sent to the colonies from Earth by the cylons there to recreate what brought Earth down in order to step in and intervene, once the cleansing fire had done its work and the warring factions had grown enough and proven themselves worthy of saving, to live side by side.
This as the cylons discovered they needed mankind for new blood as mutations in the flesh as well as thought is a strictly human trait.
Why else would they have been to Earth and who else but the cylons built the new viper that came back? Cylons survived the nuclear war on Earth, the humans didn't.
Starbuck may well be the harbinger of death, death in the way that old ways die and there's a shift in paradigm.
My money's on old man Galactica himself as the final Cylon. I'm sure there will be hidden memories coming back to him, when he did things that played into the hands of the puppetmasters, once exposed to his true self.

Yeah, but there should be a couple webisode storylines and another straight to DVD thing like "Razor." I think the long wait is due to them wanting to end it the same time Caprica starts.

Edited by: Wloire on 24/06/2008 02:47:27 Edited by: Wloire on 24/06/2008 02:47:03 Everytime I watch the final five minutes of episode ten I just cant help but smile. Of course this isent the end but everyone's distraught face as they look upon the nuclear wasteland just makes me grin.
I cannot wait to see the conclusion, and I really hope none of the machines turn out to be the final cylon (Starbuck's Viper specifically.) That would kill the whole season for me.
Edit: God damn. I love how happy everyone is when they jump in, five seconds before they see the ground.
