The Battlestar Galactica thread has been started! Here we can discuss all your BSG questions and comments, or just talk about the show!
haha, seriously though, here's the link, read up!

Hey mike this new topic you have started is not helping the partying situation. You say that us gongshowers have all changed since Cole left and theres no more helicopters and hawiian shirts. So instead of going out and getting trashed you would like us to take the time and sit down and watch BSG. I think you need to step up your game. Infact i think we all need to step it up a notch and fill in for Coles abbsense.
so let the celebration begin bitches
-
How about we drink while watching BSG?? Everytime a Cylon Raider appears or is mentioned everyone has to drink! OH the FUN!
-
I give it 4 more episodes before it gets cancelled. Bring on the new Star Wars live action TV show!
-
Now who's the loser guys.. Go and play with your lightsaber Shad
-
Deathstar > Battlestar
-
Umm, have you seen the Death Star? It's blown to shit.. Battlestar anyday...
-
Okay Mike I have decided that I am intrigued. I was reading some post somewhere that I should check out the miniseries (2003) before the first season. You agree?
-
I heard this rumor as well.
-
In that link Jami sent perchance? I was just being lazy.
-
Ya, the mini-series is good, everything taking place this season will make more sense if you watch the mini-series. Make sure you don't watch the old film, it's crap.
This is the link that Jami sent. The one about the love of my life...

Please don't make fun of me too much.
-
Come on Mike, you know we dont like to make fun here.
-
Heck no, besides I'm considering downloa...I mean...purchasing the miniseries and potentially previous seasons if I like that.
-
Well purchasing is always best Andrew. Best obey laws and follow rules I always say.
Do it Andrew, and then we can have long chats about it in this thread. And we can have little inside jokes about cylons and other people on the form.. haha.... I am just kidding everyone......
-
No he isn't. And I may take him up on it. Muhaha.
-
Bah ha ha ha ha... that is all
-
Weak Shad, I bet you haven't even watched it???
-
Ya... so? Let me be ignorant in peace.
-
I've seen Star Wars and thought it was good.... At least try it Shad. Come to the battlestar side.......
-
I'll never join the dark side... Never!!!
Ok, maybe I'll watch one episode, when's it on? I can be reasonable sometimes.
-
It's on Saturday's at 7, but it is repeated a few times throughout the weekend.
-
Good news, I am one hour away from "obtaining" the mini series. Plus I have a buddy at school (who I found through very discreet means to not out us both) who has burned the first 2 seasons as well as season 3 thus far. In no time I'll be caught up and on a roll.
Then we can discuss the finer plot points.
-
Hooray for BSG!
-
I really think this will bring us closer together.
-
It already has Andrew - it already has.
-
*Tear*
Okay I'm going to start watching the mini series before bed. Sweet.
-
After that, I'm having second thoughts... you guys are creepy!
-
You know you want in on a BSG menage a trois.
-
So Andrew, how are you liking the mini-series?
-
I have just watched part 1 the other night and I"m going to watch part 2 right now. So far so good. I'll reserve judgment until I'm done, but I think I'll be borrowing those dvd's from my friend.
-
Oh I will definitely get into this. BSG 4 life!
-
I mean seriously...Boomer is a Cylon copy? Aaaahhh!
-
haha, are you watching the new episodes or just getting caught up?
-
I was sort of planning to watch them all from the beginning before I watch new episodes. I sort of hate to ruin the surprises. Chances are I'll watch them in order, so unfortunately I won't be much good for discussing new plot points for a little while yet.
-
The 3rd season has by far been the best. I guess it's worth being caught up.
-
You realize that the time you spend watching that show, you could be doing anything else. Use your time wisely Mike you only live once.
-
I figure I can watch an episode or two before bed every night once I borrow the dvd's, I rarely get to bed before 2am anyway. There apparently was a catch up hour long show this summer that was meant for new viewers to get a recap before Season 3, but I'll do it the old fashioned way. I'll catch up to you soon though Mike I promise.
-
On an unrelated note. How hot is Cylon model #6? Meow.
-
She's Canadian, and I think she is from Alberta..... Tricia Helpher or something like that. I am far to lazy to find out. And yes... MEEEOOWW
-
Tricia Helfer from Donalda, AB or something like that. Not that we should turn this respectable topic into a smutfest. I will risk it for one little picture though.
-
I would.... even if she is a Cylon. *insert nasally geek laugh *-
-
She is attractive. I'm not sure she is "betray the entire human race and let us all get nuked" hot. But still.
-
BSG DVD's acquired. Commencing Season 1 this evening. Thoughts will follow so everyone will become so interested that they too shall begin to watch the show.
-
Four episodes in, the terrorist is my new favourite character. Man he owned the President. Down with dictatorships!
-
Damn terrorists make their way to space too..
-
Check out my new avatar Andrew..... hahaha
-
Loving it. I'm over half way through season one. This show is pretty wicked. It isn't even that science fictiony really. One episode was like a court room drama, this last one was about torture, albeit torturing a Cylon. I contend that we are not in fact geeks for watching this show.
-
Ya, it's not phasers, shields and defector dishes like Star Trek or other sci-fi shows. Wait till you get to the New Caprica episodes...... Compare it to current events and it's pretty nuts.
-
The fact that there was a suicide bomber in the early episodes has already made me start to think about current events and all the security concerns about "one of them" being among us.
-
Mike I think I am starting to agree with you after the XO's wife came on the show in the last couple of episodes (Ellen, I just double checked her name). She could for sure be a Cylon. If she isn't, she is just a giant bitch. Though it all seems too obvious, a possible red herring?
-
Will this thread never end!!! BTW I watched some BSG... I was pretty lost and only had a faint idea of what was going on.
-
This thread will prevail until the crew of the Battlestar Galactica reach the fabled Thirteenth Colony known as Earth.
I bet it would be confusing though to just watch a new episode. I would recommend the 2003 mini series to start, that is where I began.
-
Or you can just ask us for some factual background
-
I bet it would be confusing though to just watch a new episode. I would recommend the 2003 mini series to start, that is where I began.
Yah... probably not gonna happen.
-
Tsk tsk. You know Shad, true love takes work and commitment. I'm not sure you are really ready for BSG until you can give it as much as it gives you in return.
-
Exactly... I just can't be there enough for BSG. Maybe it's time we saw other people.
-
There is no one else Shad. There is only BSG! Trust me, you are talking to a guy that has been single for...well....EVER!
-
Ever think BSG might be the cause rather than the symptom?
-
No way, the ladies dig us for being dangerous. We risk getting beat up everyday for watching the show. Now that is a man's man.
-
And the ladies on BSG are WAY cuter than any we know. If you can't get'em in real life you may as well have them on your television.
-
We are going to make this the best and longest topic ever seen on the Gong Show. Do you think that the XO looks too old for his slutty wife?
-
And the ladies on BSG are WAY cuter than any we know. If you can't get'em in real life you may as well have them on your television.
Isn't that what Porn is for? Unless these BSG ladies/cyborgs/whatever they are get naked I think your argument is totally baseless.
-
Last episode I definitely saw some upper thigh and lower back. Oh baby, oh baby.
-
Season 1 complete. That was awesome when you-know-who gets shot. I'm sure he will survive. Does that prove he isn't a Cylon? Unless that was all part of the plan to make us think he isn't. Ah, circles!!
-
haha, ya Boomer really took it to him.. The second season gets crazy now.. The next attempted assasination is crazy!
-
Good thing no one knew that Baltar tested Boomer, otherwise he would be in shit for not telling everyone that she was a Cylon. Though the Chief had a pretty good idea, hope he feels some guilt.
-
Did Baltar's tets actually work.. I thought it was all faked?
-
No I'm pretty it sure works. When Boomer comes to ask him, her test comes up as red and it even shows the screen. But he changes it to green and tells her she isn't one. After that I think he just arbitrarily "passes" people regardless of the result.
Maybe he is a bad guy or maybe he wants to unveil all the Cylons at once. I mean if he reveals one person to be a Cylon, the others will know his test works and then might come after him. So it may be safer to wait until all the testing is done.
This argument doesn't really work though, because in that same episode he is telling Number Six that each test will take 11 hours and to do all the blood samples will take 60 years. So basically I'm not sure what his deal is, but the test does seem to work. Therefore he must know whether Ellen is a Cylon for real, even though he just tells everyone that they pass.
I was going to find the episode where he tests Boomer but the BSG wiki I use is hanging. It may be in Season 1 Episode 9 - Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down. In any case that is for sure the one where he "passes" Ellen and basically states to Number Six that it is easier if everyone "passes" for now.
Oh and I should point out something just in case there is some confusion. There are two "Cylon detectors" mentioned thus far into the show. The first was during the mini series and it was completely made up. Though he still managed to discover Aaron Doral was a Cylon, though he claimed it was because of the test.
Later he even admits to Adama that he does not have a working detector. At which point he asks for plutonium to create a real one. This is the one that I am talking about now that seems to work. I just wanted to be clear because I know you missed some of the earlier episodes so I thought maybe you were working off the fake detector assumption from the mini series.
Anyway...I'm a nerd.
-
Wow.
-
I know, my BSG knowledge level is slowly rising off the charts. Quite something to behold.
-
Andrew, don't read this next bit if you don't want to have some of season 3 spoiled. Nothing major, just some finer details. This relates to discussion on who the next five Cylon Models are, or at least who we think they are.
Baltar I think has to be some sort of Cylon. He protected Boomer and rigged the "Cylon Detector". He's survived the initial Cylon attack despite having been in a house with the Clylon model"six", as a nuclear blast ripped them both apart. He has a connection with "six" where they interact. In season 3 "six" and Baltar basically share information.....
Balter is numero 1 on my list of possible Cylons...
That's my little BSG rant. Stay tuned, I am sure there will be more
-
You had mentioned to me that Gaeda may be a Cylon as well. I just watched the first two episodes of season two last night and he was a little sketchy. It was his fault they were separated from the fleet when they jumped away from Kobol, forcing them to jump back and network the computers.
That resulted in a boarding as well as a virus attack that they almost didn't survive. Of course these could have been mistakes, but they are pretty big screw ups.
Also there is a marine, I believe they call him LT that is part of the party that crashed on Kobol. He keeps making sketchy calls and two people have already died because of him. Not that it makes him a Cylon, but I'm wary of people in this show who seem to act against everyones interest.
And in response to you, Baltar does seem to be very very sketchy all the time. How the hell does he get elected to government? I wish I was a genius so I could be a sketch bag and still get respect.
-
OMG...this thread is getting worse by the minute! You are turning me off ever attempting to watch the show because of your geek talk.
-
Watch it Shad, your neighbours are actually all Cylons. They will come get you at one word from me.
-
I can't belive how often and lenghy your guys' posts are in this thread.... wow.... heh
-
Jealous Ryan? You too could reach our level of sophisticated BSG banter if you just watched the show......
-
Okay I was on a brief hiatus but now I'm back in full swing. I should comment on a guess I had made in one of my most previous posts. I suggested that LT (callsign is Crashdown I have confirmed) might be a Cylon because he was being a terrible leader on the surface of Kobol. I guess that theory could be debunked now that he has been shot by Baltar. I realize that this doesn't rule him out completely but it would take the fun out of it to kill off a Cylon copy before we know that he is a Cylon.
Other than that, man I hate Tighe's wife Ellen. I seriously want to shoot her in the face. How much more Cylon can you get? Still wary of red herrings of course. Thank god Adama has recovered from his wounds now. I can only handle so much of the Tighe's running the fleet into the ground.
Final note. Was it wrong to be mad when Caley shot Boomer even though she was a Cylon? What a bitch.
We are so cool Mike.
-
I think think that you are correct in your suggestion that Crashdown isn't a Cylon, as for Helen though. She plays a crucial role in season 3 that I think will prevent from being a Cylon, so again, I agree with you on that. I think Billy might be a Cylon. For reasons we can discuss once you know more about Billy.
The whole thing with Boomer gets really crazy a few more episodes in and EVEN crazier in season 3..... dun dun dun.....
Hurry up and watch the episodes faster damn't!
We are FRACKIN AWESOME Andrew.
-
This topic is frackin' awesome.
So I watched three episodes last night. The fleet was just reunited and they found the map to earth on Kobol (Two parter episode, Home). I'm a little confused about how Boomer is going to bear the "child" of Baltar, seeing as it is clearly Helo's baby but I'll go with it for now. I assume Six didn't mean his child in the biological sense.
Further Baltar is very fracked up, no chip in his head so who the hell is Six? One wonders if he has performed his Cylon test on himself. Not that we would be privy to the information. I also just met the fifth known Cylon. That Simon guy is creepy guess I should keep an eye out for his copy in the fleet.
Final note, the Cylons using women as baby machines? Man did they get the right idea.
Haha, I put "Final note" at the end of my last topic.
-
I think that Baltar is high on the list of candidates for being a Cylon. Season 3 has come with some twists that make me wonder. But I guess you'll have to wait..
The whole Baltar Six relationship gets much crazier in season 3. I think they call it "projecting". DUN DUN DUN....
Anyways, watch them faster!
-
Almost onto Season 2.5, one more episode to go entitled Pegasus, which to my understanding involves the discovery of another Battlestar that survived the Cylon attacks.
Nothing much to report except that where the hell did the producers of the show find Lucy Lawless? Hilarious. Very appropriate that she is a bitchy Cylon. Also Adama really should be nicer to Caprica-Valerii. He still wants to kill her even though she keeps saving everyone's ass. As well, did it take the Chief like two days to construct an entire new ship (The Blackbird)? I guess the timeline was vague but it was pretty funny.
Moving as fast as I can. My Cylon count is now at six, so I guess one more before we have to guess them all for a while.
-
Season three is done untill Feb.2. I suppose you can take your time now... The Pegasus episodes are pretty good. You should enjoy them.
Lucy Lawless took me by surprise as well, but she does fit well in to the good looking cylon theme. It's kind of funny though, as soon as I saw her I pegged her as a Cylon. Who else could she be on the show...
-
Just so you know I'm not sure that it is finished until February.
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes/ (http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes/)
That seems to imply that the next episode is this coming Friday.
-
Nice, but I don't get that channel. I watch it on 46, the space channel. I should double check, maybe they are going to air it then as well. I looked yesterday to see if it was a new episode and they instead had Hackers on.
-
Oh yeah, I guess it would be Space in Canada. I know they moved it to Fridays though.
-
If I miss one i'll just download it anyways. Not a big deal.
-
I watched Pegasus tonight. Holy crap it was awesome. It was continued and I really want to watch the next epidsodes (two parter called Resurrection Ship). Adama is badass and shouldn't take shit from the bitch Admiral Cane. She could be his god damn daughter, how is she Admiral and he only a Commander?
Galactica > Pegasus.
-
Ya, I didn't understand the ranking either, but they tell you later on.. so you just wait... oh just wait. The Pegasus episodes are some of the better ones.
-
She probably slept with someone. That is how women roll.
-
I can't believe I read these, every freakin word for some reason. It's all over my head, but yet, I'm here.
-
I have stopped reading these. I enjoy that button that reads something like "mark all as unread and return to wherever it says". Comes in handy quite often!
-
Hey Ryan, you are welcome to start your own thread. How about you start the Gilmore Girls thread?....... I'd love to ignore it.
-
Yet if he ignores this thread how did he know to post right after what Steve said?
And Steve, we will suck you in ever so slowly.
Mike I am on a brief hiatus from episodes while I figure out why my computer hates me, but I shall be back!
-
That's alright Andrew, it's like the episode when BSG got infected with that virus. You just have to get the work done.. Their FLT drive is like your Computer.
haha. Wow. Anyways, I don't know if you get ACCESS network out there, it's channel 13 here. I doubt you do, but old episodes are on that channel Sunday nights at 10. If by some slim chance you get it. And anyone else , Shad, Ryan, Steve, that needs to watch some older episodes can do so....Bob you too - imagine the debates we could have over who's a Cylon and when BSG will reach earth!!!!
-
... imagine the debates we could have over who's a Cylon and when BSG will reach earth!!!!
Imagine all the better things we could be doing with our lives!
-
Like posting on this forum!
Yes it is like when they got the virus, and then Boomer put the cable in her arm and sent the virus back to the Cylons thus saving everyone but Adama still doesn't trust her. Oh man it is totally the same thing.
-
If the rest of you think BSG is such a waste of time why do you keep reading this thread? BSG is critically acclaimed and recieving rave reviews from across the media spectrum, but you guys MUST be right.... Ya, cause I am sure the quality television you watch is SOO much better.
Andrew we rock. I wish I could plub cables into my arm and send viruses to a waring faction.. Ya that would be frackin awesome.
-
Because it's too much fun bugging you!
-
Okay I have acquired a replacement computer and I can resume my BSG watching...er...I mean exam studying.
-
WTF, tonights episode was all flash backs! Things finally start to make sense... Andrew you are missing out.
-
Gah, I'll work on it soon!
-
I hit it hard last night. Just finished the Black Market episode more than halfway through season 2. Man what is up with Baltar? He gave her a freakin nuke? Is he out of his fracking mind? I mean she is hot...but still.
Also, did you sort of feel that miraculously curing cancer was sort of a cop out? Don't get me wrong, I love Roslin. But still her character seemed better maybe in part because of what she had (or didn't have) to look forward to. Now she is basically like everyone else, except for some Cylon fetus blood of course. Not that I wanted her to die, but that was a part of who she was on the show and it seems so artificial to let her live like that when I was in a way hoping for a bittersweet moment in the future when she finally departed.
-
I guess it was a bit of a stretch, but she is a key figure...... I don't know for sure, but it's kind of obvious that her and Adama have something cooking.. That's the only reason she is still around..
-
Yeah I could always sort of sense that impending romance. I do also agree that she is a good key character who is likely popular with the fans so of course the show should want her around. I don't know, I just didn't think they should cheat like that. Though I am still glad she is there because she is badass for a teacher.
-
You'll quickly forget about the minor details... Season three will be yours soon enough!
-
My next Season 2 episode is Scar. I heard it is pretty good so I'm looking forward to that later tonight.
-
ya, it is a good one. Full of Viper fighting, and toaster killing
-
Toaster, Mike? Please don't be racist in this thread, that is a slur. It is fraking impolite.
-
Small update time after last night and my foray into BSG awesomeness. You will be happy to know Mike that I have exactly three episodes left in Season 2.
Looking pretty good so far though it sucked when Billy bought the farm. I'm not sure why you think he may be a Cylon yet, perhaps Season 3 will illuminate me further. That would be cool if he just reappeared though because I was starting to like him.
On the same note that bitch Dualli (sp?) was banging Apollo in the very next episode, which I recognize was a month later. But still, what a whore.
If I was Apollo I'm not sure I would be so happy about being promoted to Commander of the Pegasus. Their commanders are 3 for 3 in getting greased so his odds look pretty shitty.
One thing that bothered me that you may or may not know or have noticed. At the beginning of that episode (The Captain's Hand) in the "Last Time On Battlestar Galactica" segment at the beginning the producers added two scenes that never occured in the previous episodes.
The one where Gina insists Baltar run for President and the one where Adama promotes that engineer to Command of Pegasus and Tigh objects. When I saw them I knew they didn't happen and I found a website that said they just added them later using old footage and dubbing over voices when the camera wasn't on the "speaking" character.
It sort of annoyed me that they did that, introducing new scenes in that segment is cheating. Not that I still don't love the show, it is one of the best on television in my opinion. It just seems like they should have thought of this beforehand and it looked sloppy to me. I just think I expect better from such a quality show. Anyway, wondering what your thoughts were, if you had noticed that (I realize I have the benefit of watching them in a row in a short period of time).
This went way too long.
-
I didn't know that they had cut in new scenes, and to be honest I don't remember the exact episode you are talking about.
As for poor Billy. I guess I don't really have a reason for thinking he is a Cylon, I just figure they would use a character that was somewhat developed and easily recongnizable, rather than popping in a whole new character midway through the third season. Who knows, I certainly am just guessing.
On to season 3!!!
-
Well the particular episode is the one where the new Commander of Pegasus (I think his name is Barry something) walks into a Cylon trap against orders and then dies and Apollo gets promoted at the end. They just created two new scenes by using footage from two of the more recent episodes. No big deal, just something that I noticed and was slightly bothered by.
I do sort of like the thought about Billy though. Billy coming back as a Cylon would have some dramatic effect it is true. Just having a random Cylon that we have never seen before is not nearly as exciting. So it has to be someone we know who then betrays or someone that we thought was dead showing up. Either method is way cooler than introducing a brand new character. Plus it would cause shit with Roslin who is always so eager to smoke Cylons.
-
The Roslin and Billy connection I thought would make a pretty interesting sub-plot over and episode or two..... I was expecting to see him at the beginning of season 3, but no show yet. I am getting a little anxious to find out who the new Cylons will be.
My other thought was that maybe the Cylons are creating new versoins. I am not sure the episode, but Starbuck gets stuck on Caprica and meets her boy there. She spent time in a Cylon hospital, and in season three she has a run-in with some cylons.. I wonder if maybe they haven't created a Cylon clone of her?
-
I do wonder if they aren't creating new copies all the time. I mean they never give a good reason why there is only 12. Twelve colonies? Twelve human archetypes from the Cylon point of view?
I was excited to come back on because I took a small break and watched one more episode called Downloaded. I now only have the two part finale of Season 2. That episode was crazy.
This Baltar/Six thing is bizarre now that I know that she seems to have him in her sub conscious as well. It is interesting the personality differences between the real characters and how they are portrayed in the subconscious. Like the vision is affected by the perceptions, making it seem more like their own mind playing the trick. I will be interested to see how this plays out. I hope Caprica-Six and Galactica-Boomer go kick some Cylon ass.
-
The Baltar/Six relationship gets crazier too. Season three has some interesting developments between the two of them.
The fact that they have each other in their subconsiouses may be why he could be a Cylon?.....
-
Phew, done Season 2. Interesting developments. I'm starting to dislike Baltar, but I guess I dislike the human race more for voting him in and wanting to live in tents on a shit hole. We totally deserve to get enslaved by the Cylons. I hope Anders dies, Starbuck is fucking annoying when she is happy. That is all for now. I hope Adama leaves them all and finds earth and then impregnates all the women left on the Battlestars. That would be awesome.
-
Nice, soon season three will be yours.. Have they found New Caprica?
-
That is the end of Season 2. Baltar makes it the election issue and they move down there. At the end everything is shitty because the planet ressembles the Northwest Territories. And then the Cylons come and Baltar surrenders and the Cylons are all like: Pwned!
-
haha. Those crazy Cylons.. Just wait Andrew, just wait. I think it's the third or fourth episode that has been my favorite of the season so far. And wait till you see Apollo..... haha, what a dick.
-
I heard he got really fat. But I won't judge.
-
Admiral Adama sets him straight.
-
Oh I bet he does. Imagine if Adama was your dad and you had to tell him you were gay? Man you would be dead.
-
Ya, imagine if he ever caugh you roller blading on the flight deck with the Chief. WOAH, you'd be out the airlock frackin quick..
it's a good thing we are just kidding, otherwise I think we've just crossed a line.
-
Holy crap, the Chief is gay?!?!?
I kid, I kid.
-
so I thought that this last Saturday's episode they had revealed who another Cylon Model is... turns out I was wrong.. but they did kill off a character! You won't guess who either. The suspence of who the new cylons are going to be is getting to me. Or maybe it's all the caffine.. Either way, catch up faster. Less SS and more BSG
-
You will be happy to know that I am merely five episodes behind from where we are now. I just finished the first five episodes of Season 3 yesterday. This season is pretty damn wicked I must say. I was getting worried at the end of Season 2 that it was losing some magic but it is now back in full force.
Everyone is so pissed off now, I love it. Too bad everyone has a hate on for Gaeta now. He is a hero, they'll see that eventually I guess. Unless he is a Cylon, but that wouldn't make much sense. I'm sure they wouldn't let him give away information like he did if he was a Cylon.
Isn't it weird that we know of seven models and that is all there ever are running around? Seems strange that the others weren't on New Caprica. Number 3 even notes to Baltar in the last episode I watched that the vote is split 3-3 on whether to let him live and it is up to the Sixes. That makes no sense...what about the other twelve? Maybe it shall be explained. Or maybe they just have to do that because they obviously can't show us who the other 5 models are without ruining the surprise.
-
They know the other models, but ya, it is weird that none of the other 5 have shown up... I haven't seen a single one yet. Poor Gaeda...
-
I just watched two more last night and in the one with the infected basestar Six tells Baltar something like: "We don't talk about the other five". What the hell could that mean?
Side note: Why hasn't Tigh invested in a sweet eyepatch?
-
hhaha, you know I thought the same thing.. and it's cause he's a drunken fool. Ya, I dunno about the other 5, maybe they disagreed with the war.. I was thinking that maybe they would appear on Earth... Or join BSG.
-
You would rather post about BSG then help me pour concrete? You bastard.
-
in a word - Yes.
-
Only two episodes left before I'm caught up. I just watched number eight of this season called Hero, where Bull Dog comes back in a Cylon Raider. Tigh did get an eyepatch, hooray!
I like what you said about the other five Cylon models disagreeing with the war. Do you think they have them imprisoned somewhere? Perhaps they are a rebel group within the Cylons? Though there is the implication that all 12 models are in the Colonial Fleet so that wouldn't make sense with that then. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
-
I am not sure if there is the implication that the other models are with in the fleet somewhere. I really wonder if they aren't opposed to the war. Maybe they are a faction now. Maybe they are chasing the cylons as the Cylon are chasing the BSG. There is a divide among all the Cylon modles we know now, but we really don't know why...... who knows.
-
Well when they first captured Boomer in Season 2 after she shot Adama Baltar injected the Chief I think with some poison and was yelling at Boomer. At which point she said there were 12 Cylons in the fleet. At least I am quite sure of that. So there would be no point in having doubles because that is obvious. So that is what I meant by the implication. Anyway we shall find out!
-
oh really.. I don't remember that... hmm, well the plot thickens!
-
Oh it always does. Man Starbuck is a slut. Though Anders is a fuck up so I don't care.
-
have you finished the boxing episode?
-
Mike I can do you better than that. I had watched the boxing one by the time you sent that message. And further I watched the one after that, where they needed to get through the radiation to the star cluster and "you know who" bites it. Not that I cared, she was a shitty character anyway.
Then I even watched my first real episode on TV Saturday night because I am finally caught up!
That was a pretty good one on Saturday. I can't wait until January now, stupid cliffhangers. Though I think it is pretty safe to say that Adama will not be launching nukes and incinerating about 3/4 of the regular cast members. Unless they all wanted out of their contracts and we don't know about it. God damn I hope we figure out about those five remaining models soon. Is that why the temple with the Eye of Jupiter is called the temple of five? It seems too coincidental.
-
Now that Andrew's back, have you two got some BSG dates planned? Some Cyber.., I mean Cylon-cuddling
-
Ya the mini-series is on Jan.1, Andrew and I are going to get together and enjoy each others company while also enjoying BSG..*tear*
-
It will be awesome. Anyone who wants to experience BSG awesomeness first hand is welcome to join us. Not that I really believe anyone reads this topic anymore.
-
I read it Andrew, and as long as we have each other and BSG.. we'll be alright.
-
I read it too... then I cry for you both.
-
Shad loves this topic. He secretly rented all the Seasons and watched them on those cold Edmonton nights.
-
I am 1 hour and 15 minutes into distracting myself while Bobby watches the 2 hour BSG mini series. If Bobby gets hooked on this crap, you boys are in BIG trouble.
-
Joke is on you, it is four hours. Two parts, take that!
-
This is CRAP! Crap I say. I just missed watching an America's Funniest Home Videos special with just animals!
-
I dare say you are better off now than you would have been.
-
Watching AFV has been proven to increase brain apathy. It also leads to increased rates of deuchism. You're lucky Bob watched BSG. You should also be thankful for such a quality show as BSG.
-
I didn't think I was going to watch it all because I've seen it before. But man, it gets better the second time through. Simply one of the best shows on television.
And it returns January 21st. Still time to watch the first two and a half seasons to catch up here people.
-
Four more days until the Winter premiere! Sunday January 21st 10/9C.
With the Galactica outgunned by four Cylon base ships, and the Colonial forces on the ground being flanked by a platoon of Cylon Centurions, how far will Admiral Adama go to keep the Cylons from capturing the artifact that shows the way to Earth? And will Apollo put the mission at risk to save the downed Starbuck — or let the woman he loves die?
That was from their website by the way, I'm not that uncool.
-
I am surprised mike hasn't been all over this topic. I did load up his hard drive with 20gb of BSG the other day...
-
I haven't had time to watch any of them yet. Plus the new episodes start on Sunday. I wanted the older seasons so I can refresh my memory, or watch them with the super hot model I am no doubt going to meet that also loves BSG.
-
Did you get your BSG pornographic material yet Mikey?
-
Lies Steve. If there was pr0n with Six and Boomer I would know about it.
-
Ya STEVE, newb.
-
He is definitely on course to get put out an airlock.
-
Tonight is the night people. I will try to be back on later to give my impressions. Because I know you all care.
-
i'm excited! Maybe we can call each other on commercial breaks and talk about what's happening!?
-
I bet we don't get it at the same time. I get it at 11pm my time, which is 8pm for you. I'm doubtful that is the same, I'll call you and ruin the surprise for you.
-
Damn!
-
Not too shabby Mike, I won't say anything more than that. We need to do some thinking on this episode however.
-
You know, I wonder who Diana saw there. I thought that she was hinting to someone she had done something to in a previous episode. She said "I'm sorry, I had no idea". But then I wonder, maybe she was just dilusional?
-
Oh so you have seen it. Well it could mean nothing. But more likely I think it is a hint. Who did she hurt or do something bad to before? The only one I can think of is Anders when she was going to kill him in that collapsed building. But she was stopped by Six killing her with a rock. But Anders being one of the five isn't that exciting at all. So I wonder who else she fucked over?
There is a BSG wiki that might have her character history. But the server is terrible and always down so my recollections are limited right now.
-
I may have to browse the first few episodes she appears in. She first appeared shortly after Helo and Sharon had their baby right? She was a reporter or something I think..... Maybe on one of those episodes.
-
I'm checking it out right now to see what I can glean. It was Season 2, around Episode 8 or 9. It was called Final Cut and you are right she was the reporter.
Do you think it is Starbuck though? What was that stuff about at the end with her drawing of the Eye? Plus all of the Cylons would have reason to apologize to her all the shit on Caprica and then again on New Caprica. The farm, holding her captive.
-
Three also was the one that tortured Baltar so he still isn't ruled out though I would think she would have already apologized for that incident now that they were sleeping together. Anyway I found this picture which may be of little use (could be extras) but still noteworthy.
-
The far right robed figure kinda looks like Adama. I was also thinking that maybe the Chiefs wife Kaley could be a Cylon. Don't know why.
-
Man that guy could be Adama for sure. The middle one could be Starbuck. Kaley could be a Cylon...she is useless and I can think of no other reason for her to be on the show otherwise.
Why do I think we won't find out until at least the end of the season...if even then.
-
I'm giddy for next weeks episode, although I doubt we'll find out a Cylons identity.
-
All I know is that in the commercial for next week Baltar looked like freakin Jesus. Man that is awesome.
-
Ya, that Roselyn is a real bitch too. I wonder if they'll kill him or not. I would think it'd be hard for him to stay alive on Galactica.
Here's my prediction: Baltar is found guilty and executed during, or shortly after a surprise Cylon attack. After he is shot, he'll be re-born on a Cylon resurection ship. BAM! Baltar is the first of the five.
Too predictable?
-
Extremely, hah. He will find a way to weasel out of trouble. Inside info on the basestars anyone?
And a bit off topic. Holy frack Tricia Helfer (Six) is in Playboy this month.
-
Really, I may be purchasing a copy. For the articles of course.
-
Bit Torrents > Spending money
-
very true. But I at least try and give the impression i'm going to buy it.
-
Oh yeah...I buy all the things I download. I just put backups on my computer. That's it.
-
Woo, tonight is a very special night for BSG fans. New episode!
-
i'm excited for it. Baltar is going to get it! Don't you think sort of looks like Saddam crossed with Jesus?
-
Gaeta is such a pussy. If he tried that pen shit with me, so help me God!
Sensational trial episode. Now what is going to happen to Baltar? Escape? Found innocent of all charges? Date with an airlock?
-
Come on Pronger!!
Who knows what will happen to him. I still think he could be a Cylon.
-
Pronger is a cylon!?
-
Holy crap! Talk about your plot twists.
-
Ya, well I may have typed that in the wrong window. And APPARENTLY clicking the back button only adds things to your previous post. So Ya, I believe a guest appearence of Pronger on BSG is imminent, and he is a Cylon.. BAM! I should write for this damn show.
-
Can you write me an episode for this week. I can't wait another one for a new episode.
-
Just so everyone knows I did make it without the episode. Mike did you see those guys jump out an airlock? Would you actually survive that? It can't be good for you.
-
I thought people just imploded in space. You body isn't a perfect seal right... And aside from the vacuum of space, i'm pretty sure that you would freeze to death exceptionally fast. But if there were two people on BSG who could survive a space adventure with out suits, it would be Kali and Tyrol.
This Sunday's episode looks pretty good. Tyrol's mutiny!
-
Did you ever see Total Recall? Hiyaaarrrggghhh
-
haha, where his eyes bulge out of his face and he looks as if he's passing a watermelon out his poop-shot.... Arnie wasn't in space though. Mars has some atmosphere. I still think instant or near instant death in space.
-
I sure as hell wouldn't want to be holding my breath. They did have an oxygen mask that would be sealed tight...for what that is worth. I'll have to believe BSG and assume that they wouldn't lie to us. Seeing as we can't really test the theory.
-
We could write into Mythbusters. But they may just call us stupid..... you write in.
-
I think I have been called worse than stupid. I risk I'm willing to take.
Or we just construct some primitive rocket and launch a small child up there with a camera on his back.
-
I'm excited for today's episode! I wonder when they are finally going to put Baltar on trial. You should write a paper on Caprican law Andrew. I'd read it.
-
Hmmm, I'm sure I could even hand that paper in, in place of this assignment I'm doing right now.
Man I almost forgot that BSG was on tonight. Some sort of greasemonkey uprising?
-
I think so. I seem to remember, Tyrol plays some sort of instigating role.... Apparently he recovers quickly from space exposure
-
Hmmm...possibly because he is a CYLON!
-
AHHHHHH! Maybe that's why he had such a connection with the Eye of Jupiter place........ And maybe that's why he was so attracted to Athena
-
I miss Starbuck. I wonder when we'll see her re-born.
-
Or come back as an uber Cylon and kill all humans.
-
EX--TERMINATE........EX-TERMINATE
If you have seen the origional it will make sense
-
I have not...which also has the effect of making me barely less gay than you. But only barely.
-
Be proud of your BSG addiction. I've been out about my BSG preference. I hope you all accept me for who I am.
-
Tonight is part 1 of 2 of the trial of Gaius Baltar. Scary stuff.
-
I think we'll have to wait till next season to see Starbuck again.. I think Baltar is going to be off the hook.
-
Oh something will no doubt happen. Next week is the season finale. Baltar can't get killed and we will see Starbuck again.
-
Tonight is the special night. The season finale. The website states something about the final five. I can't decide if they will reveal them or not. Almost revealing them would be a good cliffhanger, but I'll be pissed.
Do you think it is coincidental that the trial "jury" is five members and there are five remaining Cylons?
-
hmmm, the plot thickens.... I can't imagine they'll show us all five. Plus I am 99% sure Starbuck is a Cylon, so if the jury were the final five, there would have had to have been two Starbucks in the fleet. I find that unlikely.
-
Yeah, I wasn't really implying that the jury were the Cylons. Just thought the number was interesting. We only really know one or two of the jury anyway, so introducing new characters for Cylons would be gay.
You think being able to hear the music means you are a Cylon? So Tighe and I think Anders could hear it for sure. Guess we'll find out later. I also think Starbuck will be one. So if we only find out about four of them tonight then we'll know for sure she is number five.
-
AHHH, that's crazy Andrew... you are a prophet... or a cylon......... I think the president is going to see them all, and know who they all are.
oh, I also think that the cylon fleet is not going to attack... They are all going to jump to earth. The power failure was something left by the earth people, like the satellite that killed the cylons.
-
Yeah are the Cylons and humans going to be friends now? Weird, who will they all fight. Too bad we may have to wait until next January until Season 4. If what I have read is true.
-
I miss BSG.
-
Is it toast?
-
Nah, season is just over. I don't think Season 4 is going to start until next January either. Though there is supposed to be some mini series sometime in the fall, like the pilot episodes.
-
We're going to spend sometime watching all the episodes over again.....oh ya.
-
I think that I may buy the seasons someday soon. Then we can have BSG marathons starting from the Pilot.
-
This glorious topic was in danger of falling off the first page. We all know that can't happen. To stay on topic, we should find out how long until the mini series/dvd release that is coming this fall so we can start counting down and speculating.
-
I think we should make a day of it. We all get together and watch some BSG.... And no, I am not kidding.
-
That would be super awesome. We could get some supplies and make a grand day of it. Would be educational.
-
Wow, I really miss hockey, there was a significant lull of when you guys forgot about this shit, and your manhood may have grown back during that time.
-
Trust me my manhood was always intact so long as Six and Boomer were around. Update!
Razor is the working title of an upcoming television film of the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series.
Sci Fi Channel has confirmed that part of the show's renewal for a fourth season of 22 episodes will include a television film to be released sometime in November 2007.The film will be made up as two of the 22 episodes in the fourth season, and will be shown on Sci Fi the day before it is released on DVD.
-
Mike, if you want to pass the time check out these quizzes.
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/about/quiz/ (http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/about/quiz/)
I got 10/10 on Simple and Easy, 9/10 on Tricky, and 8/10 on Hard. Though it won't tell you which you get wrong. They get pretty tough though so I made some educated guesses. I haven't done the bonus quizzes yet, but perhaps I will soon and post my scores.
-
I can't wait to get those quizzes done! Man I wish I could take BSG classes at school, now that would be educational! I can't wait for the 4th season. I am really excited. Steve is just jealous. He doesn't understand the true gloriousness that is BSG. So sad.
-
Get a life you two!
-
Uh, we have one thanks. And an integral part of that life is posting about the best show ever on the Gongshow. This is in fact one of the most popular topics on the site so everyone must agree with us.
-
If you don't want to read about BSG don't read this topic. No one is forcing you to click this thread. Don't be such a hater.
-
It's kinda like a car-wreck, or uglypeople.com, you don't wanna look, but you end up just looking anyways to see the spectacle of those less fortunate than yourself...
-
Har har Steve. Mike, I had Season 1 in my hand at Best Buy the other day. I should have done it, I know that I will eventually.
-
I still have them all on my computer. Thanks again bob. I can haul my hard drive to anyone's computer and share the glory that is BSG with them. Just let me know.
-
We should tie people down and make them watch it. Oh by the way, the new mini series is coming out in November and is called BSG: Razor. Should tide us over until Jan or Feb when the final season starts.
-
Razor. November 24th. 107 days. It's a Saturday night. Mike, we have a date.
-
Oh we have a date indeed. And it's a Saturday... nice!
-
Saturdays are always free when you are BSG nerds like us.
-
Who am I kidding. My whole time table is reserved for BSG. If I don't have time, I make time.
-
It's true, a real fan will cancel anything for BSG. Work, wedding, even my own funeral. It can all wait.
-
104 more days until Razor.
-
T-Minus 90 days. I am starting to salivate.
-
I'm so excited for Razor, i'm going to cut myself with one everyday till it's on! YA!
-
Although I'd advise against it, that is still a damn good idea Mike.
-
Remeber, down the road, not across the street
-
I've been slacking. 67 days to go.
-
Bet you all thought it was gone for good. That is right the most popular topic on the Gongshow is back for another round.
BSG started the fourth and final season three weeks ago and it is off to a great start if I do say so myself.
Mike, have you checked out episode three yet? I have it on my computer if you need it. The last 5 minutes are pretty crazy. Discuss.
-
No I haven't had a chance to watch it. I'll have to download it. I did see the last five minutes, or at least I glimpsed what was going on. I couldn't bring myself to watch it without having watched the last 55 mins. But ya, pretty crazy....
-
You watch it yet? I totally forgot about the one last night as well. I will have to download it right now. Definitely slacking.
-
I am now officially caught up. Pretty wild, I can beleive that Cally is dead. That bitch. I wonder when tyrel is going to find out? Wait till you see what Colonel Tie does - yikes.
Anyways, I know I have brualized their names, but ah well.
-
The Road Less Travelled is the next episode, in case I forget later.
-
How far along are you now Mike?
