Okay gang, I need some info here. I saw Battlestar Galactica when it was initially broadcast in the late 70s. But, I was in the navy then and out to sea when Galactica 1980 was aired. In fact, I only learned of its existence in this or one of the other Galactica threads. My Tivo, having...

Mark Turetsky has it right. The election went on as required by the Constitution (Articles of Colonization).

I've noticed SciFi muddier of late too, and I also have DirecTV.

Yeah, but how many human/cylon hybrids are wandering around for them to steal blood from?

Side bar: Were Sharon and Six referred to as "Heroes of the Cylons (plural)" or Heroes of the Cylon (singular)". I'm pretty sure that I heard singular and if so, it would imply a more Borglike collective than I had thought up til now.

Right you are, and I neglected to add that exception to my example. I think though, that among the people who know or knew a spylon, and knew that "person" was a spylon, the perception that they aren't humans, deserving of rights, is significantly more problematic than it was on the day that...

Interesting observation, from Yee and from the show. I was a submariner and on the boats the skipper always comes from the ranks of engineering officers. And it showed in the CO's priorities. Although our stated mission was to hide and be prepared to fight (I was in the weapons department), our...

This a smaller scale invasiveness, but Adama ordered Sharon II's fetus's blood be draw for injection into Rosslyn. I do not recall if Sharon gave her permission, but do you think that Adama would have conceded to her wishes if she had said no? And the fetus certainly did not give permission...

I think back to the flip side of the coin though, back in time to the "33" episode (the first of the series after the mini). There is a moment, at the end of the episode, after the destruction of the maybe-Cylon-infested passenger liner, that may have been simply full of fleeing humans, a moment...

Oops! I hadn't even considered that. Andrew and all others, please accept my apologies for my blabbery.

Baltar (Battlestar Galactica), who gives a nuke to the Cylon spy after his ego is tweaked by a criticism from President Roslyn. equals Charlie (Lost), who teams with Sawyer to steal the guns after his ego is tweaked by being dissed by Claire and punched by Locke. It is not a perfect...

I have been unable to understand what she said in her illness and drug stupor. Anyone?

CharlesD says: Agreed. But my argument is that one's understanding of the facts is shaded by one's point of view. And I think that people in my group #1, rightly or wrongly, see themselves engaged in a battle for survival, and would find the idea of negotiating with the enemy suicidal.

I don't find that concept incredible at all. I am in danger of sounding political here, but that is not my intent. In our real world, here in the US, there are people who earnestly believe that Al Qaeda is intent on converting the entire world to their theological worldview and destoy everyone...

I still dispute your argument. Lions and tigers can mate. I cannot say for sure, but I believe the liger or tion offspring are fertile. Lions and tigers are similar species, but not identical.

That was my wife's immediate reaction. She turned to me and and told me that, for the first time in this series' run, she felt as if she had been cheated. Just for a second, she thought it might be a flashback to the burial scene in the mini when Adama firts broached the idea of going to Earth...

Conversely, the human survivors on Caprica (and supposedly the other colony planets) may be hopelessly irradiated. They may be suitable only to be human hosts to make more of models #1 through 12. Starbuck, on the other hand, is freshly arrived and doped to the gills on anti-radiation meds to...

Charlie Campisi - It is precisely and only because this is science fiction that the cylons need human reproductive organs to make the human models. And I am not implying that they are clones, but I think that we will find that they are visually representative of, and possess the memories of...

I think that “The Farm” has immensely clarified the direction of the story, answered a number of questions, and demonstrated the intentions and dilemmas of the Cylons. It has also completely changed the direction of the story. The Cylons have evolved, but they still are not the sentient...

Man, oh man...who doesn't?

It is funny how different people react differently. I thought eps 1 and 2 of season 2 were just about as gripping as anything I have ever seen on TV. But, if we were all the same, if we all felt the same way about the story line of a particular drama, then each and every drama would be...
