I'm excited about the movie, we're gonna learn what Cain did in the months between the miniseries and Pegasus meeting galactica.

Are you sure it is after the miniseries? The Pegasus was clearly up to something before the miniseries... between Adama's covert incident violating the Cylon border and the miniseries.

Yep. Basically it's a story setup involving Cain and the Pegasus after the attack at the scorpion shipyards and before pegasus found galactica that will tie into episodes 16 & 19 (maelstrom and Crossroads) of season 3 and have an impact on season 4.

For which particular reason?

They\'re Cylons!

It's more that they arrived at a certain point in space and they were made aware of who they are. The music manifests a dawning awareness. These are four of the final five, which puts them in a separate category from everybody else. There are reasons for that I can't really get into. We'll be playing out those plot lines for quite a while.

I wonder how they're gonna explain Colonel Saul Tigh fighting in the first war with the original toasters? And the fifth Cylon? Madam President's head rush? The phantom Kara Thrace?

Re: They\'re Cylons!

i think roselin isnt the only one smoking something after watching this episode.

Re: They\'re Cylons!

Any one notice that the sets of Galatica bare a strong resemblance to sets used for the DUNE mini-series?

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG

Something just occurred to me, there are now TWO cylon human babies. Think about it. Boomers daughter, and the Chiefs son. Why haven't the cylons tried to get his son?

R: When did you decide to make these four characters Cylons and how much did you have to go back and check to make sure that fit with things we already knew about these four characters?

RM: It was something I came up with this season as I worked toward the finale. The conceptual framework in which these guys are Cylons, it all sort of works once we laid down their individual back stories.

I don't buy for a minute the sudden and in my honest opinion, sloppy story change that Tigh and the Chief, as well as two others, are now cylons. That is just a fracking cop out and a cheap writing trick. I have to be honest, and many fans agree, that this was nothing more than a cheap plot twist though of without any consideration for thought. This kind of thing seems to be a hallmark of the series. Hey lets go down this road.. whoops, not working, lets do this now.... whoops that didn't work... hey I know, lets make Tigh and the Chief both cylons. Um what about the chiefs son, and Tigh's record? Who cares, the people who watch this show are too stupid to figure things out and think for themselves. Besides its a cool plot twist... write it up and people will accept it with some clever back stories. Ok RDM, we will see.

However as some fans pointed out on other forums, they might not really be cylons. They were all at one time capable of being captured by the cylons therefore they could have simply been brain washed and programed to respond to certain sound stimuli. But I don't believe it. I think RDM took his show into yet another new direction.

Certainly the mind frack has begun. Kara has returned and she knows the way to Earth. All along the watchtower we stand and wait to see if the thief shows the joker the way on how to get out of this place.

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG

I don't think Tigh's record as a Colonial warrior is inconsistant with him being a Cylon. It's been clearly established form the begining that there are human form cylons that don't know they are cylons. Six stated it pretty much in exactly those words during the original miniseries, and the point was proven with Boomer.

As to why the Cylons haven't been as hot to get the Chief's baby as they were Hera, it's also been pretty clearly established that the Cylons aren't some hive-mind like the Borg. They have a sense of each other, but it's not perfect. They are even capable of lying to each other. They may simply not know he has a child.

Plus, there might be some difference in having a half Cylon child with a human mother and one with a human father. Chief's baby may be nothing special as far as the Cylon's are concerned even if they knew about it.

I thought the finale was pretty good. I'm only pissed it's going to be next year before we find out what happens.

Re: OT: Season 3 BSG

I know. It's all wargames. Everyone is a cylon. There are no such things as coloials, or if there are that's what the wargames are for, to deteremine likely tactics. It's like red team vs blue team only red team has had artifical memories placed in them to help them "play" their side better.

Perhaps the Human programmers have been following and watching in their cloaked lab ships http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Edit: I wondered for a second about my hypothesis since a few of them have been back to Caprica but we know in the Base ships the Cylons see their own reality, that's why the inside is so bland. Those who went back to Caprica were just seeing an artificial reality.
