OT: BSG Discussion

Black_Knyght · #1 March 8th, 2006, 03:24 AM

I just caught up with my TiVo, and after watching the one of the most recent episodes a stunning thing hit me concerning the show.

Now I'd always just assumed that the "Number 6" in Baltar's mind was either a Cylon mindfrak or some type of implant they had in him intended to moniter him and the escaping humans. Then his original "Number 6", after getting BLASTED on Caprica, gets reborn and a couple of NEW mysteries pop up -

1) she and the one in his head aren't the same, or even inter-connected.

2) she has a little Baltar of her own frakking around with her sanity.

3) neither "persona spiritus" acts like their REAL conterpart, and each seems to have their own agendas.

Anybody else think that maybe this isn't a Cylon thing, but that someone, something, else is doing this ??? Some as yet unknown third party, perhaps ???

Just an interesting thought, IMHO....

I am sure it will be explained as at some point as a mutual download curruption link that some how mixed both of them together. That or Baltar is a cyclon.... who really knows at this point. Good show, it keeps you guessing and wanting more.

I just hope that they don't blow up or sacrifice the BEAST. That is one cool ship.

Baltar could just be crazy. He suggested as much when his "Mind 6" showed up originally. The more we see the more I suspect it's true.

So this elaborate story is all in his mind? And solely written to explain his eventual governance of the Cylons? I think not.

Who said Baltar will end up governing the Cylons? Was that in the spoilers somewhere?

From the original series, I believe. I don't remember if he got full control, but he did boss around quite a few chrome-domes.

As far as I know in the original series he was originally executed after the Cylons had no further use for him, however they changed that soon after and he became a sort of advisor for the Imperious leader who was hunting the Galactica. That Imperious leader was destroyed, if I remember correctly its base star was ambushed on the surface of a planet, and he became the leader of the cylons hunting Galactica, with the help of Lucifer, a Cylon assistant.

I think NBC's been in there from the start. After all, don't they own the American Sci-Fi Channel?

I think you are correct. I don't necessarily mind NBC being involved per se, it's just that I wouldn't want to see them switch the show over to that particular network. Shows seem to go downhill after making such moves. But who knows? Maybe BSG will thrive on a big-time network such as NBC. Time will tell.

You guys didn't hear? BSG has been cancelled, they decided too many of the characters are just out of touch with the youth of today. The new series? BSP (Battlestar Pegasus.) They are basicly going to retool the show, keeping some of the younger cast and have it be like "Friends" but on a starship......

I kid you not.
