OT: Season 3 BSG

[GuyOfDoom]

Sadly yes, but it really really really should have ended after Anubis. And Atlantis should have never been made.

[Renegade 13]

Bah, I think SG-1 was/is still a hell of a lot better than most of the trash found on TV today

As for Atlantis...I think I agree with you there, it's mediocre at best.

[Makinus]

BSG needs more battles, make some crazy Viper x Rider dogfights with one or two baseships thrown in and i´ll be happy...

[Azselendor]

Atlantis lost me as a member of the audience once I saw the red/yellow/blue uniform color coding they use.

I also think SG1 hung around too long, btw. MGM only intended it for 5 seasons, but when scifi offered to pickup the bill and pay a hefty royalty, who was MGM to refuse?


hopping back a bit,
RDM has said in a few interviews that he's felt extremely strained writing more than 3 episodes in a row, and often points to the bad filler episodes as evidence of that. I think he said he wrote the first five episodes this season back to back and burned out on it. He gave kudos to JMS for his ability to write that whole season of b5 on his own.

Now tv guide had an interview with Eick, talking about the future of the show, the movie, and caprica. He said the movie is an almost certainty, and it's pickup will most likely green-light caprica as well. and as for bsg, he feels 13 episodes is best -- but scifi may give them 7 more to wrap up storylines.

They should encounter a vortex that allows them to jump back in time to hours just before the cylon attack. To Pycon base or something. Where they manage to steel one or more supply ships, constructions ships, and even a couple light cruisers or somethings. Hell even a carrier would be great. They then use the vortex to jump to just after the attack and they save hundreds of civilian ships and even evacuate a few planets. Then they hit the cylons hard, they take out the cyclon home world thus leaving the cylons with only the few resurrection ships they have and whatever basestars they might have deployed. When they find Earth, have it complete baron of life say for one man. They find in sitting at a desk in a buried building attending to a computer that he must enter a clock reset code into every 11 hours. If he fails, the universe ends. His name is Dr. Loren Darma.

Ok, that last bit was just weird, but seriously, a vortex? The biggest thing BSG has going for it is the lack of such Star Trek-style silliness.
For a proper ending, something along the lines of, they finally find Earth and Earth happens to have a big *** fleet which promptly wipes out the whole lot of them. Why? Because they're Cylons. That'd work for me.

[Atrocities]

What does a vortex have to do with Star Trek? You lost me Zero. A better ending would be they arrive at earth only to find it overrun with cylons and they have just enough time to kiss their asses good bye before they are blown out of the stars once and for all.

Go Cylons!

OBTW - When the semi blond Cylon, the one with the death wish that kept killing herself to meet God, finally met one of the final cyclon versions, she apologized and said that She had no idea. Wanna place bets on who that mysterious cylon was?

My money is on Adama. Right man in the right place at the right time. Accused of being a cylon by a cylon, and was specifically targeted by the cylon's after he had Boomer blow up that basestar orbiting Cobolt. Adama had left his wife, something a cylon impostor would do, distance yourself from those who know you best. He was in the area of cylon space running covert missions when a pilot of his was captured. Do you think he would have just left that man behind? He also knew that the first human cylon he encountered was a cylon whereas no one else did. How did he know that? Devinne intuition? No, he is a cylon. There are other examples but I am too tired to list them. Besides I must find my cat and put him out side less I end up with a repeat of last night. I am still picking up the mess.

Suspiciously convieniet space-time phonomena as a plot device are a Star Trek staple. Also, BSG tries to stay vaguely scientifically plausable, and that doesn't include time travel. Sorry

Wanna place bets on who that mysterious cylon was?

Someone we've never heard of before. If it's a known character, it's Baltar. Frankly, though, the device of having one of the cast members turn out to be a Cylon has already been used back in the miniseries, and it'd be strained for them to use it again. To hear some of the fan speculation back before the revalations about the Cylons this season, you'd think the Galactica must've been the most heavily inflitrated Battlestar in the fleet.

And anyway, Adama can't be a cylon has he is older than their entire race.

Because he was commader. The Cylon's don't know who the final five are, so they can't have been targeting him for that reason.

Cobolt

Kobol.

It's Romo Lumpkin, baltar's lawyer. Other cylons that said their back story have always indicated their parents died at a young age and such. Romo did the same thing.

As for an ending, how about no ending. a big showdown with the cylons with an open ending as the fleet jumps away, blindly.
