OT: BSG - wtf? - Page 2

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but I didn't like the new BSG serie from the beginning. The first episode (when the Cylons destroyed the diplomatic station, or whatever it was) was absolutely cool. But as soon as the story introduced multiple copies of characters I lost interest. Also the camera-work during battles is in my opinion horrendous. I don't like the constant panning, zooming and rotating. I want to concentrate on the beautiful models the CGI crew created. Later on, as RandallW said, I got irritated by the dull episodes. So I stopped watching.
Ah well, everyone his or her own fault.

I am almost completely sure the final cylon is a character we have not met or has only played a minor role so far

Romo Lampkin. You heard it here first. (He's supposed to show up once in the first 10 episodes, and once more in the last 10).

Or how about that guy who can't seem to hold down a job for more than an episode or two, but still somehow manages to be an expert.
Flyboy. Military Advisor. Detective. Captain. Lawyer. Politician.

Great Gobs of Guano, Batman, that Jack of all trades really ought to suck.

Shouldnt it be pretty obvious that Baltasar is the 12th Cylon ?
In the last episode he did appear to himself, just like what the blonde cylon did. I believe that indicates that he is a cylon as well.

"Baltar is God. If you haven't figured it out yet, he is not a cylon, he is THE cylon. He is GOD."

Wow, what a revelation.

And of course Kara is not a cylon, but Lee's wife is.

I don't think you're too far off. I personally feel that Baltar is a 13th unknown/unrevealed Cylon. I think that he is the Imperial Leader that they used to mention in the old show, but was never seen. He's just being groomed with all of these adversaries before he's aware of who he really is.

Errr... this is going to sound really stupid (it might not have made its way to the UK yet), but are we talking about a new Battlestar Galactica (ie not one with bad 70's hairstyles and Dirk Benedict as Starbuck)

Yeah SciFi channel is it's infinite wisdom decided to do a remake of BSG. It changed a lot of the various minor plot points, but tried to keep the overall humans vs. cylons.

Is it any good? Hopefully, it does not repeat all the duplicate shots from the originals

OK, saw the finale the other day. Whoa!! What a way to end the show. From the previous posts, it don't sound like a lot of you liked the show, but I thought it was a great show from beginning to end. I just wished that when they had found our Earth, it would have been in a modern setting, not 150,000 years ago! Can't wait for the dvd set to come out to see them again.

If I was the sort of person susceptible to outward expressions of positive emotion then I'd be laughing my head off. I just love that I quit caring years ago rather than waste time watching it.

I didn't realise it was finishing, but then again I haven't been paying attention. All I knew was something about taking a year off, or only having half a season, and then suddenly I hear it's going out with a 10 hour marathon or something. I looked it up after it finished and could hardly believe it, but then I can't think of any other way it could have finished, except the one I've had for years. It was the endless inner philosophy, along with losing respect for the bunch of them, that put me off and the ending I read about seems to at least be an inevitable result of turning the whole thing into philosophy....IN SPACE.
I've got nothing against philosophy, in fact it's one of my study hobbies, but you can have science fiction and then you can have sitting down and contempleting things. Both at once just gets boring, much as I understand people dislike the Matrix films (note: I do however love that the head machine that solves the problem at the end is literally called the Deus Ex Machina).

Actually I'm at a loss to understand some of how it ended, which is only natural since I stopped caring 3 or 4 years ago, but I'm not even interested enough to seek clarification of the bits I don't understand.
