Battlestar Galactica

[tboy]

science fiction has always been used for a long time for commentary on modern times, original Star Trek, Mad Max during the energy crisis of the 70's, Blade Runner etc, whats an interesting point is the dissention between the Cylons ya would think they would agree on a course of action, but apparently not, wait till Six comes back oh she is gonna be pissed hehehe

That too is a direct comparison to what is happening in the US about Iraq. Some are for it some are against it....

Yeah, Six being pissed, well, getting shot in the forehead will do that to you lol. I just wish someone would pop baltar....I so HATE that pompous prick.....

There's more:

Cylons: Believe in one god
Humans: Believe in many gods.

Now now, it's my penis that does all the decision making, then my brain saving lives. If it wasn't for me, we'd still have a ressurrection ship with all these blondes and asians taking over Cobalt. Not too fond of all the male cylons, they seem to be all limp. Bad for mongering.

Gyaos Baltar (President of Caprica).

Cylons: Believe in one god
Humans: Believe in many gods.

I noticed last season that Cylons have a monotheistic religion much like Christianity, where the humans are heathens that worship the old Greek/Roman gods.

maybe someone can explain to me, how do the humans plan on defeating the Cylons if you kill one they just come back in another body a la Starbuck's guy who she has apparently killed 5 times already

Last season they destroyed a spaceship where "spares" were kept so that the dead can't "reincarnate". There is a limit to how far they can "throw" their memories when they die. Now that they are on New Caprica, presumably there is a location where the "spares" are kept on the planet (or maybe in near orbit).

Right - The Ressurection Ship. That is why in season 2.5 the cyclons stopped resorting to all out mass attacks because of their inability to be "resurrected"

 

[freshbreath]

most likely they built another one though

It's in the script.

It looks like it's going to be a really dark season a head, I was big fan of the old series and I still don't like the new starbuck!

 

[burlboy]

what a frakking great episode and I am surprised no one has jumped on the writers for making all sorts of links to present day political events, ie occupation, suicide bombings, establishment of a police force by the occupiers, insurgents etc.... remember the original Star Trek was used by Roddenberry to make all sorts of statements on the political and social climate of the US during the 1960's

and yes fattie Apollo is interesting but do we really need another tv show with fat guy married to hot chick hehehhe, speaking of hot is it just me or is Starbuck with longer hair and more homicidal that just much hotter?

The writers pride themselves on not being predictable so I expect in the future just when you think you have button holed all the sides as the US vs Terrorists they will pull a role reversal. They did this a couple of times last season to keep people off balance and keep them guessing about the future episodes. Just when you thought they were feeding you plot along the lines of liberal dogma the next episode they would do the exact opposite.

Get over it. The new series is 'Battlestar Galactica' in name only. It's a re-imagining as they say in the biz, and it's been successful.
