Battlestar Galactica:SEASON 2 PREMIERE

[Flexor the Mighty!]

I really dislike Starbuck just becuase she is so damn annoying, and last season was such a huge focus for the entire show. But I was really hoping she was going to air out the Cylon and Helo last episode. The Cylon becuase...wells it's a genocidal cylon and Helo because he is such an idiot.

The herding thing does seem

Spoiler

like the Cylons we know, like what they were doing with Helo

on Caprica. Seems to fit the MO pretty well to me.

Well,

Spoiler

herding them is quite in character. What seems out of character is doing it by shooting at them from ambush like that. On Caprica, they mostly did it by placing their patrols so as to herd Helo and "Boomer". On Kobol, I'd expect them to herd the survivors by putting out metallic cylons in a search pattern for the crash survivors that would force them to flee in the desired direction.

BTW, Truth Seeker, I know this is being totally pedantic, but since the threads are very active, I end up seeing it many times a day: there's a small typo in the new Stargate/Atlantis and BSG threads you created... should be "Premiere."

I too was really hoping Starbuck would just shoot Helo and then take out his girlfriend. I'm getting tired of that part of the plot: we already have Gaius, his girlfriend, and their baby, do we really need Helo, his girlfriend, and her baby?

Starbuck wouldn't have to kill Helo, just shoot him in the leg. When he doubled over, she could take the killing shot on the cylon. And then she could put Helo into the cylon raider and go back to Kobol.

But instead, we get the lame "B*tch stole my ride" line. Definitely the weakest part of the show. Well, expect for the new opening music. I really miss the old version.

Theory for your to think about maggot:[sblock]What if the baby that Gaius sees is Boomer's?[/sblock]

I love the last scene, with the Cylons on the Crash ship....Now the base shups can track them, if they don't find and off all the Cylons...

Yes, yes. That's one thing that gets me...so, the Basestar launches a swarm of Raiders and this one thing that makes a slow beeline to Galactica.

Why the frakking heck wouldn't you aim the turrets at it? I mean, seriously, it's coming at you, you've never seen one before and don't know what it is, the obvious idea is to KILL IT! Oy.

Oh, and on the planet...don't the metallic cylons use beam weapons? I'm reasonably sure those were projectiles being fired.

Maybe they're from stay-behind Kobolds?

To my knowledge there has never been beam or energy weapons in the new BSG.

The Cylon Centurions shoot bullets, as shown in the final scene of the miniseries and that time they attacked Helo in the diner.

My thoughts as well. I think the 'Yours and Mine' line from Six to Gaius really means 'Human and Cylon' rather than them personally.

I concur on the Six/Gaius Boomer/Helo thing.
