Battlestar Galactica

Really? Because the first few minutes of the movie, some dope decided to slip in a commercial right before the seductive Six killed the diplomatic officer ... at least that's what I think I saw.

Exactly.

12 versions if the note the captain read is correct.


This is a pretty damn good show. I was a naysayer at first, now I repent!

My question now, for those of us not in the UK with prior knowledge of what is gonna happen, is about Baltar. Could he be the 12th version? Is this why he keeps seeing 6? Is this why when he had a slip of faith bad things starting happeing? I started thinking and watched the mini-series again. When 6 explains stuff to him on Caprica, then the nuke goes off and she states something about not dying, and tells him to get down. Now we don't see him again until Boomer picks him up. Makes me think about what he really might be and what happened to him when the nuke went off. He hasn't been near any of the "areas" that cause Cylons to get sick either. Both Boomer and him were safely aboard the ships probably shielded from the effects or the weapons depot area's effect as was the "traitor" that the Gallactica guys left there.

Makes you go hmm.......or not

Anyone know what was cut-out of the NBC re-airing?

I have to say that I was blown away by the first (two?) episodes. I never got a chance to see the mini-series, so I didn't know really what to expect. Considering this is Sci-Fi, I was kind of expecting something more along the lines of Andromeda, if you know what I mean.

The only things that I didn't really care for were the "Firefly cam" (that blurry then zoom in effect), and the new Starbuck.

BTW, what was the character name of the black girl on the bridge? I think she's the communications officer. The actress looks kind of familiar but I can't remember where I saw her.

Not sure if this is the correct spelling, but her name is Dualla. They tend to call her 'D'.

It is also not afraid to touch upon mainstream religion (Although they never explicitly said it, but it is basically Christianity), and is willing to portray it in a negative as well as positive manner. Which not many shows dared to do.

As I understand one of the episode summaries on AICN, the Colonials are polytheistic, worshipping the Greek pantheon. The Cylons, though, are monotheistic.

And I could swear I heard someone say "gods" on the show today (repeated this evening).

Thanks! Checking out the IMDB, I found out the actress' name is Kandyse McClure. I probably remember her from an episode of Andromeda she did. That or Return To Cabin By The Lake.

As someone who was in his impressionable teens when the first BSG aired in the late 70's, I must say that I am a thorough and complete convert to the new BSG. I missed a good chunk of the 2003 miniseries, but have watched this weekend's episodes twice, and I absolutely love this show. In the original, I never felt humanity was truly in any danger, and what was up with finding more human colonies nearly every episode? Didn't they realize the Cylons would just wipe them out?

But this show... I really felt for those survivors. The new series (IMHO) really conveys the sense of loss and desperation their situation demands. I think I have a new favorite tv series... and that's not something I declare often.

I'm liking the show so far, but I'm hoping that they don't keep the "the viewers know that Boomer's a Cylon, but neither she nor anyone else on the ship does" thing going very long; it's starting to get old even two episodes in.

The previews on Friday showed a clip of her saying "I'm a Cylon!" combine that with the events of the second episode and I'm guessing they aren't going to drag it out too far.
