OT: BSG Series

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Check to see if the auther was in the military. From reading some of the bio's in the book, at least a few military writers come from the military.

[Renegade 13]

2 days, and I finally get to see this series!

Is the series still continuing? I don't have TV, but I noticed that the local video rental store has the DVD, so I'm thinking of renting and watching it one of these days.

SPOILERS WARNING - SERIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD - NAVIGATE WITH CAUTION
























1. Boomer is definitively a Cylon - Dr. Baltar tested her positive in his "Cylon Detector" but didn´t said anything to her or anyone - but looks like she is a "dormant" cylon - a Cylon that think that itself is human...

2. The other Boomer (the one that is with Helo and knows that she is a cylon) starts to really love Helo and (without telling him anything) betrays her "Cylon friends" to save him... so Cylons can feel emotions and can betray their origins to help humans (maybe this would explain the Baltar - Number Six relationship)...

3. There are some hints in the show that the Cylon models are based in real human beings... so we can eventually see a real Boomer show up in the show some day (older than the cylon model obviously)... BTW: looks like the Number Six has based in the wife of Colonel Tigh (she shows up in the show, and while older, she have an striking resemblance with Numer Six... enough resemblance to attract Dr. Baltar and make his Number Six jealous...)

I´m waiting to watch the 10th episode of the series... while i found the series good so far i want to see more ship fights and battles, since i think they are the best part of the series...

Thanks. Appreciate the spoiler warning. I was only half serious though. I should have known better treading into waters better left alone.

SPOILER ALERT Do Not Read Unless You Wish To Know Things That You Do Not Yet Know.



The differance is, the one on DVD is the old 70's series, the one we are talking about is the new Sci-Fi channel one. Believe me when I tell you they are completely differant beasts. It would be like comparing a Cat to a Tiger.

Both had good points, the original had the better sets, and actors. The new one has the better visual effects. Both seem to have ok stories, although I liked the original series stories better than the new series. However the new series place far more emphesis on the actual holocaust wrought by the Cylons. I did like the original series cylons better than the new ones, but the new ones are a logical upgrade. I do not like the human cylons yet, but they are kinda growing on me.

For the record, I believe they are all cylons. I believe that Starbuck is actually Colonel Ties daughter. I like how they solved the water and fuel issues. I dislike how they have lost 20 + vipers and still seem to have plently left.

I like how they play up the dark side of what has happened, but it angers me greatly that they use things like "Peanut Butter, baked beens, and other "Real World" things that we have now in our day to day RL lives. This is just a product of a low budge. Instead of calling peanut butter "peanut butter" they could call it Baryon Paste.

The human cylons are clones, or other, that have been given conciousness, but not a soul. If they can develop human feelings and not just mimic them, then perhaps one day they can become human. And by becoming human, reproduce like humans. After all, we are machines, organic machines. I find it odd that a cylon would believe in God, so that is obviously a major story line. The fact that they have repeatedly stated that what is happening has happened before and will happen again is kind of interesting. I like where the stories are going, and hope that they do not run out of steam or money before they get to the climax of the series.

I watched the series opener Last night, and I must say I like it. Especially the part with the "Olympic Carrier" civilian ship. Most shows don't include a moral dilemma the way they did....and that's only the first episode! It seems to me like it's a logical continuation of the first, and if the powers that be cancel it after only 13 episodes, I'm gonna find 'em and break some heads!
