Battlestar Galactica

[Ranger REG]

Typically it takes four seasons of a show before it goes to syndication, then it is one season behind. I think SG-1 went to syndication a little sooner, but that may have been because it was originally on Showtime which had an even smaller subscriber base than SciFi channel has.

For some networked shows they follow that format, but SG-1 and Andromeda seem to be the exceptions. For that, I am grateful. I was hoping they would make BSG also an exception, to be aired in syndication by one of the local over-the-air broadcast stations.

I would, but I can't email you through the boards and you can't receive PMs.

And I can't post these kinda links on the boards.

blues02@sbcglobal.net if you wouldn't mind. I'd really appreciate it.

If I recall correctly, the miniseries isn't the first time that a Cylon had appeared in human(oid) form.

Wasn't there a two-part episode in Galactica 1980 which had a few Cylon Centurions and some newly-made Cylon human(oid)s reach earth and speak to Wolfman Jack and all that?

I've done my best to erase Galactica 1980 from my mind...and now you've gone and dredged that up. I'm going to go soak my brain in bleach now.

Well at least there is always The Return of Starbuck!

A totally random thought here. The Cylons (or at least the blonde Cylon) keeps going on about the Cylons being God or the gods' vengeance. It made me wonder if anyone from Tripping The Rift works on the show. If you recall, one of the points on that show was that robots believed in God because, if God didn't exist, they would have to worship their nerdy creators.

It makes me wonder if that's being used as part of the Cylon psychology? :\

Someone pointed out earlierin these threads, what I had realized during the airing of the new episodes this last weekend. The Cylons kept reffering to God, while the Colonials kept reffering to the "Gods". Two times that I clearly remember are when the missing ship jumps back into the area near the fleet and someone on the bridge of the Gallactica says "Thank the Gods". Another time Baltar is talking to someone and that someone clearly says something about the "Gods" and he says "God" (definately in the singular) in his retort about God having nothing to do with it.

I'm just guessing (and I'm sure our English counterparts already have more of an insight on this), but I believe the human looking Cylons are more human than we are lead to believe. I also surmise that there may soon be strife within the ranks of the Cylons. I think the human like ones might even cause a civil war within the Cylons and are experimenting with the humans, and that this is why the survivors have made it as far as they have.

Just a big fat ole guess though on my part that may be "off in right field screaming for someone to hit me the ball".....................

Since the DVD/miniseries has been mentioned here.

Having just watched it (was a Christmas present!) and now having a Tivo (yes, I finally gave in - am loving it, but I think we end up watching MORE TV now than before! anyway....) with the 2-hour series premiere ready to watch, the question that nags at me is...

So did Baltar really know that the "reporter" was a cylon? I thought he had completely fabricated any and all evidence to throw any suspicion away from him. But then out of all the possible people to point at he actually got it RIGHT? Maybe his genious worked unconsciously, but it kind of sits funny in my stomach......
