BUAHAH! I just started watching BG this season and I can honestly say that I LOVE IT. So much more than just a cheesy Stargate Whatever show.

I LOVE SG1 and SGA! But that's another thread...I love Lee (Apollo)!!! I'm sorry but he is soooo hot! But Jamie (Apollo) is really british!? IDK... but I heard him on a behind the scenes thing and I thought he sounded really strange with his accent, prob cuz I'm used to the american one. James (Baltar) was teasing him about the fact that he can still use his accent and Jamie can't.
Lee is so buff though!
Especially in that last episode!!! Where the news lady caught him with his pants off. Literally! But I wanna find out what happened to Starbuck's friends on Caprica.

^I know what's you're talking about with the frantic violins or whatever. Very tense!
:thud:...the attempted rape scene? Um, WOW. Hopefully this show will get some attention from the Emmys now!

I might just pass out from shock if the Academy ever pays attention to anything on the SciFi channel. :lol: And I don't even pay much heed to the Emmys. It wouldn't matter if it was the best thing on TV by a light year, it's not just a genre show, it's a genre network!

Why should that MATTER!? The Emmy's are not to award "THE BEST DRAMA...BUT ONLY ON A REGULAR MAJOR NETWORK!"
I mean that's just DUMB. Get off your self-absorbed a**es Emmy voters! Shows like Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, etc should NOT be snubbed because of their NETWORKS.

Man, I know what you mean, that ending was incredible. The Guias/Six scene was really well done. I felt so terrible after seeing Gina (abused Six name) like that.
I think something will happen like, Kaynes crew turning against her. I mean she killed her XO. Then she transfered Apollo and Starbuck, who were really the best Viper Pilots on Galactica. And she bad-mouthed Tigh. I really hope her crew realizes she's gone mad.

I hope she's a big, fat, Cylon who dies immediately. That would be cool.

I also agree that Battlestar Galactica should be nominated for an Emmy in the Best Drama category. Perhaps with these new science fiction shows on the Networks this season, BSG will be taken more seriously.

Sry duplicate posts, I didn't realize I did that. Sometimes my computer won't load so I don't know if it posted.
Anyway, I always hate it when people pejudge something just cuz they hear it's scifi. I'm like, how 'bout you watch it before you start critisizing? BSG better get a nomination next time...

People have a tendency to prejudge . . . and this is even a "remake" of a show that's remembered as being aimed towards kids . . . which this decidedly is not.

Anyone up for spoilers? Because I have a ton of them. If not I'll try and keep my mouth shut...

EEK! Don't post them in the open here! I'm SUCH a Anti-Spoiler Nut. LOL

Don't worry, I was going to hide them in the spoiler box, so just don't read it. If anyone wants spoilers that is of course... I guess I'll just have to go crawl back to my BSG site.

Okay, tell me I'm not the only one who watched BG Season 2 here! lol
I dunno if I thought it was better or worse than the first season. I think it's highs were higher and its lows were lower.
But "Scattered", "Valley of Darkness", "Home Part One", "Flight of the Phoenix", "Pegasus", "Resurrection Ship Part One", "The Captain's Hand", "Downloaded", and "Lay Down Your Burdens Part Two" were simple PERFECT.

(BSG) Does it hurt more now to KNOW a series is ending?
How will Battlestar Galactica end?
BSG's final season is going to be a rough ride for survivors both human and Cylon - and an agonising wait for us viewers

The moral minesweeper of a plot isn't the only rollercoaster ride for the new Battlestar Galactica, which begins its fourth and final season tonight.
From no-brow beginnings, when BSG still had to prove it had outwitted the shonky source material, the show gained cult respect and a few more viewers by the second year. By season three, it had earned plaudits as one of the best show on telly from Time magazine and the Peabody Panel, only for all that excitement and acclaim to fail to materialise in the form of viewing figures.
The network dithered, and when they did eventually commission a full run, producers Ron D Moore and David Eick opted for the chance to finish their story, and pledged to make season four the last. It returns to Sky One a cult once more; a condemned series, though its final season is its most exciting. The worst thing to happen to Battlestar would be to be hauled off air, so many questions left unresolved.
Suffice to say that the Humans and the Cylons are now both so morally ambiguous, they don't even really operate in shades of grey anymore, just a kind of flickering beige. Last year's Occupation saga took the chest-beating over who is the real terrorist as far as allegory can stretch. Where last year's opening episodes navel-gazed, this season's first shows kick ***. BSG is just as smart, but it's now a fast-moving space opera. The beauty of a final season is that they're not even expecting to pick up new viewers. Most shows have to hold your hand, but these episodes just grab hold it, and gallop.
The saga itself? There's no immediate explanation as to why Kara "Starbuck" Thrace suddenly came back from the dead. But the apparent calm the conflicted pilot appeared to show after claiming to have found Earth is short-lived, especially since the crew's initial assumption is that she must be a Cylon.
As for the real sleeper Cylons - the revelation that Tigh, Tyrol, Anders and Tory are four of the enigmatic "Final Five" is a major engine for season 4. It's lost on nobody that three of them were key players in the insurgency on New Caprica, and as they struggle with their true natures, there are devastating consequences for one of them by episode three.
The news that President Roslin's cancer has returned can only speed up her descent into religious fundamentalism and apparent dictatorship, and the grit in her eye - the deliciously manic Dr Gauis Baltar - finds yet another inadvertent form of treachery as reluctant cult leader.
And it's hardly going to be a surprise that the dissent among the Cylons, as they gain further self-awareness, is going to get bloody. Or whatever it is that robots bleed.
It's going to be a rough ride for the human survivors and an agonising wait for us viewers. BSG might not be the king of the ratings, but since Sci Fi US don't have anything else halfway this brilliant, they're stretching it out as long as they can. Of the 20 episodes remaining, 10 will go out this year and, word is, 10 in 2009.
So the ending isn't quite in sight yet. My guess is it has to end in some kind of unification - that the 12 Cylon models must have some link to the Humans' 12 Gods. But don't expect them to just find Earth and have nice happy ending. Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) doesn't know the ending himself yet, so what he told Sci Fi Wire the other week shouldn't be considered a spoiler - but as for his comment on the subject of who and who won't survive:
"Basically, if it's true to form, no one makes it. I think that people would be shocked, and they'd be hurt, and they would be totally, totally frustrated ... but I've got to tell you, that's a truth that people have to realise."
They wouldn't ... would they?

Caprica pilot filming this summer
This is what we need to hear. Not summer 2009, not summer 2010. But now, this summer.
Whatever reservations anyone will have about its placement on the timeline, where it can go or the crew that will be working on it, it is good news.
Eric Stoltz joins 'Battlestar' prequel

Eric Stoltz has joined the cast of Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica.
Best known for his film roles in Pulp Fiction and Mask, Stoltz will play Daniel Graystone in Caprica. The character is described as "a wealthy computer engineer who, after an emotionally crippling family tragedy, uses his technological wizardry to change the future of Caprica", according to Reuters.
The two-hour pilot for the Sci Fi Channel, scheduled to begin filming in the summer, already has Jericho actor Esai Morales and Deadwood's Paula Malcomson in leading roles.
