Re: BSG Predictions
 

The thing is I actually liked the Apollo character more in the first season and first part of the second season, but the last few episodes have really damaged the character. Like I said I don't know if it is the acting or the actor, or the quality of writing for the character, but I get the strong sense that the actor is bored playing the part, or the character in general has lost focus and they are trying to hard or not hard enough to build the characters dark, personal, inner self.

Right now Apollo is my least favorite character. But things change.

I like the President as she is a no frills women who's character is only getting better with time.

Above all though, the Cain character was one that I really liked and wish could have stuck around. Something about the way she took control of the show captivated my interest. I was deeply put out about her ending. Job well done to the writing staff. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Baltar, well this character is most assuredly one of my favorites because I am just sickened by him. The character is one that you just loath because the actor and the writers do such a solid job of making the character out to be so loathsome.

The supporting cast is also great. Starbuck is my second favorite character though. I really like the actress and how she plays the character. The writting is also great for the starbuck character.

I guess you can say that the Apollo character is the least interesting one to me currently. I do hope they change this though.

Over all this show is very effective and addictive to watch. Each week I cannot wait to see more. It has been a very long time indeed sence I have had that kind of interest in a show.

Also for Canadian guys...we're about 3 episodes into Season Two.

Favorite Character; Starbuck http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif : Oh yeah! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Least Favorite: El Presidente. She's annoying. Very annoying. Thinks the civilians can have any real power over the fleet...yeah, right. Without the military they'd be totally lost, dead, kaput. Figure it out already.

I predict some of the star pilots will end up on Earth with a group of super kids and cool motorcycles. Once there, they will go camping and run away from the police with their souped-up cycles.

Re: BSG Predictions
 

Ok, I've only watched the mini and season one, and am waiting on the first half of season two on my blockbuster subscription... so I am not entirely caught up...

But... I could really see Dr. Gaius Baltar turning out to be a Cylon. Sort of an experimental 12th model, that the Cylons don't have complete control over; they made him too human. In the first season, we know of four of the twelve models: Doral, Leobon, Number Six, and Sharon/Boomer. I put them in that order, because that's the order of humanity I see them to be in. Sharon seems more human than Number Six, who seems more human than Leobon, and so on. Baltar is the epitome of the selfish, narcissistic human, and to me, seems so over the top that it isn't much of a stretch to think that he is what the Cylons believe all humans to be like.

Anyway, it's probably wrong... but what if? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: BSG Predictions
 

What makes you think there being only twelver models strickly referred to the huminoid Cylons will? Who's to say the raiders and the centurions aren't included in the 12 models?

I don't think baltar is a Cylon though, doesn't make any sense for his character. I think you will agree with me more on this once you get further along in the series.

Re: BSG Predictions
 

In the mini series a captured cylon said that there were only 12 models. Of course he could have been lying.

Re: BSG Predictions
 

Well, I just re-watched the miniseries this weekend... and 12 Cylon models appears twice. The first time, Number Six tells Baltar that there are only 12. The second time, Commander Adama sees a printout note in his office that says something like Curiously, he notices this just after President Roslin leaves... and then the miniseries ended. And it still hasn't really been answered who exactly left the note (up to the end of Season 1)...

Re: BSG Predictions
 

I assumed Baltar sent it anonymously?

!!! Spoilers !!!




If I remember right, Pegasus will not be destroyed. I believe Ron Moore commented on this in his pod cast and added something about how destroying the ship would a cheap way out. I hope that RDM and the production stick with that and keep Pegasus as a fixture on the show.

As for the nuke, I think we might see that again in Season 3 involved with the next stop on the long road to earth.

From what I've seen, Ron Moore is taking story elements from the original series and reworking them into new episodes. In many ways, he's retelling the original BSG story in a far better way.

Now story element that hasn't been mined yet is from original Kobol arc on the original series where baltar destroys the pyramid holding the course to earth. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
