OT: Season 3 BSG

I think that the Mechanicals are turning against the Organics.

I think that the Mechanicals that appear to execute the Humans actually will shoot the Organics.

I think that Kira is also playing an elaborate game of deception to gain the Organics' trust in order to be let outside to accomplish some thing.

I think that, ultimately, the Organic siding with the humans(forgot her name) will still be a Cylon that turns on the Humans again.

I agree with geoschmo in that Rosalin should not of been portrayed in the preview of next weeks episode. That must be an unintentional and ridiculous spoiler.

LOL, proud to say I have never watched the new show at all.

I still think of Lorne Green when I hear BSG

I began watching BSG with a very sceptical eye, having come to the conclusion years ago that Sci-fi was no longer a viable form of literature but merely popcorn. I was a hesitant watcher, but from the first moment, I had beenmesmerized. BSG is GREAT TV. It makes one think, question, look around, and it sticks with you far after the show is over. It makes you wonder about all the important things and obsess about the unimportant and everything in between. It is stunning TV. And I hate TV.

Now, having just seen the first episode of the third season, I can honestly say that, in my 38 years of existence, it is the best sci-fi I have ever seen.

I mean, if you want good v evil, robots v humans, black v white, then go watch star wars or star trek or something like that. But BSG is about humans, in all our foibles and bs dealing with trauma and death and life and all that entails...and it does it all in a futuristic environment.

It is perfect. I can't off the top of my head think of a way to make it better.

Have all the women naked? In a non sexist way, of course.

I'm sorry, I've only just now seen the episode, and only just once, but I don't recall seeing roslin in the graduation ceremony at all. There was a group of humanoid-cylons, and all the graduates, but neither Baltar nor Roslin were there....or did I miss something entirely? I mean, Roslin is back at the school in the scene just prior wasn't she...?

And, any show that can make people, today, now, in our world, hope for a suicide bomber to complete his mission, come on, that's some GOOD writing.

After the end of the show there was a "this season on Battlestar Galactica" montage of events from the upcoming episodes. It wasn't a teaser for next week, per se, just for the show for the next few weeks.

Before I answer, was the season premier in your location a two hour episode, or just one hour? If it was only one hour then don't read the rest of this...

MORE SPOILERS

I wasn't talking about the police academy bombing. At the end of the second hour the Cylons decide to get tougher and cart off a bunch of humans to the outside of town and line them up apparently for a mass execution. The show ends without actually showing the people getting blown away, but you hear the gunfire and the inference is obvious that Roslin, Zarek and a bunch of others are done for.

My own guess is that the human police recruits have a last second crisis of concience and decide to fight it out, and that's the gunfire we hear. But we won't really know until next week. But the previews make it clear at least that Roslin lives.
