    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    Movie news isn't war, and IESB isn't embedding reporters. Half the time they're grabbing other people's scoops and throwing a watermark on it anyway, with warnings like "Don't re-publish my stolen intellectual property because it's mine and you can't steal it." AICN stopped being a first on...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    There's not gonna be a Caprica series. I'm almost certain of it. I'm surprised at the reporter's reaction at IESB. Well, kinda, IESB is some of the worst "online reporting" there is on the net, and most of their "writers" are, to be kind, fried dogshit, but still--if that woman is covering...

    This might be "The plan," actually ;)

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    See, I still think season 3 was better than season 2, overall. The problem with season 2 was that it weaved a lot of important storylines straight through some pretty subpar episodes. You can't just chuck Captain's Hand, Sacrifice or even really Black Market, because if you didn't watch em, the...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    I didn't know it still wasn't :) predictability and rote storytelling isn't the guys milieu. So the fact we're befuddled and a little confused but still THIS INVESTED tells me something.

    but what if Cylon as it pertains to the final five is just a different breed of humanity? That's the option that opens up.

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    Yeah, it seems to be shifting to "What is humanity, period?" I dunno, I sorta like that shift. I can buy that one. Maybe a little TOO existential for spaceships and asplosions, but they've shown they can make it work in the show previously, so I don't know why it wouldn't work moving...

    I so lucked out with that call, too :) I mean, I have the advantage because I actually get to TALK to her because of my job, but she didnt' tip me off or anything. And I didn't think she was a cylon when she first showed up, but re-reading--it seems like she would naturally be the fifth...

    They're Cylons. The question this brings up is just what the hell a "Cylon" really is. And what "humanity" really means.

    Holadem: Just a nitpick--but it's spelled BALTAR. Not Balthar. :)

    Season 4 extended to 22 episodes, 2 hours of which will be alotted to a standalone movie that will air this fall to bridge the gap between Seasons 3 and 4. Expanding the season from 13 to 22 tells me this is the wrap up. They're getting 7 extra episodes to finish the whole shebang.

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    I think she's one of the five. I think the five aren't cylons. I think they're gods. I think Kara leads them to earth. I think humanity starts over on earth, but humanity being what it is, the same mistakes are made. All of it happened before. All of it happens again. Another reason...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    13 and a miniseries is a perfect out. I hope they shitcan the idea of making the mini a "backstory" thing, and instead save it for a finale. 13 episodes, and a 3 hour series finale.

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    It was nice to see Zarek, finally. It was a decent episode. It wrapped up a little too safely, though, and the stunt casting didn't help any. Bruce Davison = heavy at this point. You knew automatically how it was going to go down if you were at all familiar with his recent career. I kept...

    Been seeing a lot of people complaining that this seems to be a big "reset" button as far as the Love Quadrangle goes, but I never once saw it that way. This was the breaking point. It's just that Olmos directed the episode so that the ending was quiet, and subtle. No grand statements or "Slow...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    Yup. That's Caprica. Should be fun to see what happens when someone, ANYONE, realizes WHY Caprica Six is CAPRICA Six. :) Another theory about D'Anna's "oh. I'm so sorry" is that the final five are communicating wordlessly, and are telling her that she is, in fact, NOT the chosen one, and she...

    theories about that pic have been flying since it first hit. I don't see what you're seeing, but it seems to be like a cast Rorschach test. Some see who you're seeing. Some see a couple other cast-members. I only see ONE current cast-member, but one of the crew that NO ONE is mentioning--and yet...

    My girl had the same idea, but I don't think so. They snuck him onto the ship in a bodybag. I can't imagine they'd put him next to a Cylon for any reason, I bet they keep them in very separate cells. I liked the feeling the last 5 minutes of this episode gave. A real "The board is set--the...

    They're not gonna use Felgercarb. They've used "Shit" and "Bullshit" at least 3 times on the show now, and those are the words "Felgercarb" was supposed to replace. Frak appears to be the only bit of Larson-esque terminology that's made it over. Frak and Tyllium. you guys seen the latest...

    I'm surprised the thread took this long. This show seems to spark some of the most heated discussions all over the net. You cover as much incendiary subject matter as this show does WEEKLY, you're gonna hit on SOMETHING eventually ;)

    Actually, that's a pretty decent theory. Their numbers match up with their astrological signs stereotypical behavior? does 8 really equal sharon, or 5 really equal Doral?

    She still could be faking. The look on her face was interesting as shit, but that might be more because she knew what was coming. The really surprising one was My inquiry as to Roslin's health Or again, it might be that she was surprised I went there, not so much that I'd caught her...

    Interview had quite a few really interesting tidbits in it, AND, it's about the same length as an episode sans commercials. so if you wanted something to watch while it played, you could do that. It ventures into some spoiler territory, and I think she accidentally lets one fly that NO one...

    Then I'd happily munch my fingernails and come screaming back to the board to hash the show out with you like we've been doing for about 2 years now :) I think reading through, it looks like you gathered I'm not trying to have the paranoid aspects of the show ditched or even neutered, just...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    I didn't know we were honestly debating that ;) Look, Moore may WANT five, doesn't mean he's going to GET five, (Moore and Sci Fi have admitted the move to Sundays has a lot to do with whether a Season FOUR is even ordered) and I think "The final five" isn't the load that we need to be...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    That's not a bad thing, I don't think. I know Moore wants five seasons. I think he's wrong. This thing could wrap up gloriously in one full to bursting 20 episode season 4. Quentin's compromise sounds decent, but honestly, I think some of the tonal problems more viewers are picking up on...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    True, but at this point--the audience has gotten comfy with the idea of knowing the seven are all that's left. It was starting to get stretched a little thin when you were "which cast-member is really a cylon" as far as credibility inside the story, and at this point, I think the show's best...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    Now, this I disagree with. Poor writing is a sign of poor writing, fleshing out characters is what you're SUPPOSED to do. The trick is not doing it clumsily. But the conceit of using flashbacks and discovering things about the characters isn't inherently bad. The problem is that shows like...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    To me, this episode was notable mostly for the way it completely re-established the alpha dogs on the show. There were definite solidifications on who has the REAL power, and the episode seemed to revel in the re-establishing of the roles on the show. Adama has completely taken over by the...
