Renegade, i dont think you are right. They boxed her model not because of her focus on the final five (who are the first 5 actually) but because she knew who there were.
himo.

Possible, but I seem to remember the cylons saying several times that they were 'forbidden' to discuss or even think about the five. And due to her insistance on breaking that particular rule, and just in general how "roguish" she had become, they decided to box her. After all... only Baltar was with her when she had her epiphany at the temple on the algae planet, and once she rezzed from that experience, she told her compatriots that she knew who the final five were, but that was AFTER they had already decided to box her series.

That's the way I understood it.

Uh, hello all... LTNS. I'm surprised by the amount of negative reaction to the show overall on this board. Personally, I think it's some of the best TV written and produced since West Wing. I'm slightly annoyed with Lee Adama ascending to the presidency in a single episode, but other than that I think the whole thing's a rip-roarin' good time.

I'm with you, TT. I don't know why a lot of people don't like this show. I think it's a great show and may be worthy of being called a classic along with Star Trek and Babylon 5. But the season's halfway over with, and I can't wait to see what happens when they finally find Earth (which may be this Friday, going by the trailer).

Heh...Would be funny (If I watched the show) if everyone on Earth was a cyborg...

[Azselendor]

it seems to me a lot of the negative reaction stems from it not being what people expected or wanted. For me, that's the most captivating part.

The first episode, 33 was amazing in my opinion.

My biggest complaint on the whole series in that apparent aimless plan of the cylons who, after wiping out humanity is playing with the survivors like a cat with a wounded mouse. That and many plot arcs could've been carried out longer and fleshed out in detail and made a whole lot better.

Such as Pegasus, new Caprica, the black market/zarek thing, baltar's trial and so on.

Oh, and I felt the revealed 4 cylons was a major cop-out.

I don't know about cop-out. I'm just amazed at the astronomical odds that 5 hidden Cylons, out of all of the billions of humans who died, are among the survivors. And most of them are well-placed, except for Anders, who's only Starburck's husband and a fledgling Viper pilot. But if Balter isn't the 5th Cylon, I wonder who it will be.

[Ragnarok-X]

Hum-Hum. Nice episode. Just watched the latest three (-s04e10) in a row. Now im kinda stuck. How does it continue ? Still lacking the final one.

[Azselendor]

We gotta wait until 2009.


those rat bastards.

[Ragnarok-X]

I figured as much after checking wikipedia. Damn that idiotic writers guild.
