Battlestar Galactica:Season Finale {SPOILERS UNLIMITED} 1.4.05

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

That's pretty much only possible if the Cylons could secretly replace a "real" Lee Adama with a duplicate, or possibly if Lee was adopted, and neither seems likely.

Maybe not...we know that Caprica Boomer is carrying Helo's child. If it worked the other way(human mother carrying 'Cylon' child) then BOTH Adamas could be Cylon. Though I find that more doubtful now that Galactica Boomer shot Adama Sr.

 

[Eosin the Red]

First - I have seen every episode.
Second - I'm pretty much disappointed in the series as a whole. In particular Starbuck, Apollo, and anyone who interacts with Baltar.
Third - Adama was the only character I liked, so I will be watching next season to see what happens to him.
Fourth - The whole cylon religion babble annoys me to no end much like the quasi religious babble in the Matrix sequels.
Last - I personally know no one who likes the series, in fact I believe of my circle of friends I'm the only one who stuck it out to the end.

Its very sad, a lot of potential wasted.

Interesting, it seems that the exact reasons you are averse to the show are the reasons that make it brilliant for me: SB, Appollo, Baltar, & the whole theological aspect.

IRL, during a time of crisis and in acts of genoicde religion is usually a very major factor. I am very keen to see how the whole religion angle plays out. It makes the show more than just another simple SciFi. If season two pans out as strongly as season one BSG just might make all time great scifi in my book.

PS - everyone of my friends is glued to the series. Gaming buddies and my work buddies alike.

I suspect the fallout will be considerable. Here are my predictions. Adama will pull through, barely.

Everything else I agree with, but this? It could go either way, he could heal easy or he could almost die. He did take one of the bullets in the chest and the other in the gut, but it's not like [our] militaries are known for using high-powered handgun rounds. It's all up to the dice.

 

[Abraxas]

Get new friends.

Why would I get new friends over a crappy TV show?

Baltar doesn't bug me - the way everyone interacts with him bugs me. He is so obviously a nut case and everyone completely ignores it. Starbuck is just an annoying character who should have been jettisoned out an airlock, I have no empathy for her. As for Apollo, meh, I'm waiting for him to be consistent. As for the religious aspects - if it was more coherent and less "disturbed person wandering on the streets mumbling to himself" in form It might bug me less.

Why even watch it then? You just rattled off why you really don't like 3 of the 4 main characters, the President being the 4th.

Well I'm not who you were asking, but in my case, I'm still watching because I really liked the mini-series and am still following in the show in the hope that it will improve (though currently I think it is getting steadily worse, not better).

 

[magnas_veritas]

Was anyone else surprised that she made it back from the Cylon base ship? I thought that without the captured Cylon raider, it was a suicide mission.

That's not quite so preposterous as it would seem to be at first glance.

Most air traffic control radars really don't actually see the aircraft, they see the transponder and the signal it's squawking. Militaries use similar IFF transponders to identify aircraft from beyond visual range.

So, it's not unlikely that the Cylons would have just interrogated the transponder and been satisfied with it, despite the completely different radar* shape the Raptor depicts from a Raider.

Of course, there's also the option that the Cylons sacrificed the entire Base Star to set the fleet up.

* - Did anybody else notice how they referred to their sensors as GRADIS?

And for better or worse, silly monster movies are a part of the whole sci-fi genre.

Remember when the channel first started? Sci-Fi is the house that Gamera built.

I actually like the cheesy monster movies. I actually taped Mansquito and Frankenfish, but haven't gotten a chance to watch them, yet.

As to BSG, it certainly ended with a bang. I read a spoiler about Boomer shooting Adama, but I still half expected her to ram the Cylon ship when they couldn't launch the nuke.

Now that it appears that they can't avoid the fact that Boomer is a Cylon (since Starbuck has seen her), I wonder what they'll think of Baltar's tests. Didn't he clear her?

And you have to give the producers credit for giving the fans what they want: a roomfull of naked Boomers.

 

[Fast Learner]

Yeah, though the flesh-colored suits were a bit too obvious, I thought, almost like they had a texture to them.

Still, it's hard to fathom people thinking the miniseries was better. To me the show is way better than the mini-series. When I suggest it to friends, I always say "you'll want to watch the mini-series first, to understand the backstory, but don't base the quality of the show on it: they get much better."

Weird.
