Battlestar Galactica

[TevashSzat]

Well, I saw some people talking about in in the Movie Review thread and guess I should start a thread for it to see if there are lots of people who watch it here.

If you haven't watched it, I highly highly recommend the series. Free complete episodes can be gotten from Here

Thoughts on the final season so far:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Found the battle in the premiere just great. The CGI was really impressive. The split within the Cylons is bound to be quite interesting too. I don't see how the Cavils/Simons/Dorals can surivive if the Sixes/Eights/Leobens have the Centurions/Raiders on their side. It seems according to the spoiler for the next episode that Cally finds out that the Chief is a Cylon. I wonder how she will reacts considering she shot Boomer and hate Cylons quite alot (there is a rumor going around that Cally might get airlocked in this episode. Hope that doesn't happen)

[El Diablo]

Some of us remember Battlestar Galatica with face from the A-Team as Starbuck (probably pre- coffee shop franchise) and Apollo as the annoying goody good guy.

That and they mangaed to get the guy of Bonanza to rule them all....

What I wanna know is, what the heck is up with Chip Gaius appearing in Baltar's own head??! Is he separate from Chip Six? Is he the same Chip Gaius that appears to Caprica Six? And just what is the significance of his most recent appearance, anyway?

They're not airing the last season here! Not yet at any rate.

Just finished season 1, it needed some time to kick in but now I am hooked. So many quality series lately, a movie just isn't long enough to really get a feel for the characters, perfect mixture of soap & action. Gonna buy season two when I am done with The Shield which is also very entertaining.

Gah! That sucks, Mouza. My sympathies.

[TevashSzat]

@Martok

IIRC, some people were theorizing that it was because they were too lazy to redo Sixe's hair or makeup or something like that so they used Gaius himself instead.

@Mouzafphaerre

You can get free full episodes from scifi.com which is the network that its airing on in the US. If you click on my link you should be able to see the new episodes. They always have like the 5 latest episodes on there.

@fragony

Keep on watching! I really liked most of the second season. Downloaded which is S02E15 I think is one of my favorites from the whole series.

I believe those are only available to viewers in the United States, unfortunately. Luckily The channel I watch it on is showing it as it airs for this season, instead of the few months behind it usually is.

[Lemur]

Seasons one and two were pure genius. After that, well, by the end of season three I felt that a shark had been jumped. Multiple sharks, in fact.

[cegorach]

I have just watched episode three from season four - so the latest one.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Certainly the best in the latest season (for now of course) - I was totally 'hijacked' the chief's wife pushed to the limits of her sanity.
I enjoy military episodes a lot ( 33, Pegasus, Resurrection Ship etc), but the psychological-political drama in this episode is really something.

Season four seems to promise a lot indeed, let's hope it will continue this way.

[Mikeus Caesar]

I've always meant to get into BSG, but stuff would always distract me from it.

From what i hear, Season Four has become Baltarstar Galactica. A supposedly disproportionate amount of screentime for him. Then again, i get this info from /tv/ on 4chan...

[TevashSzat]

@Caesar

Actually, there isn't much Baltar stuff so far. Indeed, there isn't any Baltar in the third episode at all.

Regarding the third episode

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

It seemed like that the cylon girl whose Roslin's advisor actually is embracing her Cyloness and seems to be less human now than the others. Can't believe she would kill Cally like that.

With the "rebel" Cylons attacked and most likely destroyed, wouldn't that mean that there is going to be a full fledged civil war since the individuals of every model can all communicate between each other? The Sixes can just broadcast Cavil's attack to everyone.

Did anyone notice the 1701D on the weapons locker? That was the serial number on Enterprise from Star Treck which Ron Moore also worked on.

Thanks for the link mate but I'd like to see them in appropriate order. That site seems to be hosting a few random episodes.

Well, I hope the NBC clone that had been airing it for the past couple of years takes it up in a few months. They've always followed it from a while back so I can hope.

I want to like this show and the bits I've seen over the past couple of years intrigues me, but I can't seem to get past the "shaky cam" way the show is filmed. It annoys me more than the storyline interests me.

Really? I personally have never noticed the shaky cam...goes to look at episodes.

I suggest that you just watch the miniseries that starts off everything to get a feel for the show and its style.

[BananaBob]

The remake of Battlestar Galactica is probably the best show I have seen in years, the plot, camerawork, cgi and acting are all absolutely stellar. I missed the episode before last and the first half of the first season, and other then that Ive seen them all as they air. A true cinematic marvel.

[cegorach]

The fourth episode...

Damn, I must say that the season is getting more and more interesting all the way.

I can't help not thinkig if the fleet will indeed fracture, with some notable part from the four 'youngest' Cylons who are (at least three of them) losing their minds or maybe 'only' their humanity.

[TevashSzat]

The previews for the next episode seem interesting. Seems like Starbucks is going to do some crazy things

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

From what I can see, raiders that contain the rebel cylons dock with the Demetrius. Starbucks allies with them, but everyone opposes this.

Indeed.

It'll be interesting to see how she behaves with Leoben around again.


Also: Caprica Six kissing Colonel Tigh??

[Martok]

Next episode starts in only a few hours! 'Twill be....interesting to see how things go between Kara, the Cylons, and the rest of the crew.

[Fragony]

The bro gave me another series since Battlestar wasn't silly Star-Trek and science fiction as a genre doesn't necesarily suck. ' Firefly', so far I am having a blast.

[TevashSzat]

I though "Faith" was the best episode of the season. It really moved the story along. The next episode with Athena/Six tensions seem pretty nice too

Thoughts:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Thought the hybrid's babblings are too vague for anything definitive. Kara may be the harbinger of death, but it doesn't specify to WHOM, the humans, the cylons, or both. Furthermore, to the end may mean earth as well as death.

I can't believe that Roslin is starting to believe Baltar's religious talk, but I guess that dream was pretty powerful.

Very relieved to see Athena's character developed since I thought she was being inconsistent in this season so far. When Leoben gets on Demetrius, she doesn't even talk to him or give any opinions that shows she is a Cylon other than when he talks to her on the Raptor right before they leave for the Basestar

[cmacq]

You all know, how this is going to end?

[Martok]

I really enjoyed "Faith" as well -- a very interesting episode.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I was actually more intrigued by Anders' actions than anything else, though....especially when he comforts the Eight model that dies from the gunshot wound. I have to wonder what the other characters will think of that.

You all know, how this is going to end?

I assure you, we're in the dark just as much as you are.

[ShadesPanther]

I assure you, we're in the dark just as much as you are.

They will team up with the Rebel Alliance and overthrow the Galactic Empire. (man that would be so awesome. )


But yeah I really enjoyed Faith.

Can't wait for Adama's reaction to the Baseship

[TevashSzat]

You all know, how this is going to end?

The Humans and the Cylons end up in a huge firefight. The whole fleet is destroyed except for Starbuck in a Viper. Right before she gets killed by a missle, she wakes up and finds herself back in the brig right before the attack. That would be really funny....

Or, they get to Earth and find themselves in the Terminator world. 3 way free for all fight for the planet then

[Martok]

By the by, I still want to know what happened with

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

the Fleet suddenly losing power simultaneously right after they entered the Ionian Nebula. What the heck caused it? And was it in some way related to Roslyn having that weird reaction right before it happened?

Gah! Need answers!

Heh. Yeah, that'll be a great "WTF??!" moment.

[cmacq]

Nice...

Although, they've been shoving it in our face, since day one, do you really want to spoil it? Still, I wonder why the characters seem compelled to profess an esoteric and somewhat psalmic canticle over and over and over. Speaking of esoteric?

[Fragony]

HA excellent, just finished season 3. Didn't like it as much as the previous seasons, tbe mystic element feels a bit out of place but still cool as frak.

[Geoffrey S]

Sod Battlestar Galactica. 'tis fun, but I want more Firefly!
