So, who watched Razor? Cain looked human before the Cylon attack. Her treatment of Gina seems a little more understandable since they were "lovers." Shaw was a rather well-developed character.

I hope so. I really don't want them spending half the season rehashing from events earlier on. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill. Those who seek power and control of others, no matter the level, no matter the intentions, should never be given it. |

What you are referring to, Buzz, is the 2 hour special movie coming out in November called Razor. I'm pretty sure that isn't the season opener. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

Quote: The season opener will not be connected to how the third season ended, not picking up after the cliffhanger but instead going back a bit in time a season or two ago (perhaps into the second season), connecting events there with what will happen in season four.

Off hand i'd say i wouldn't like to see them go past five series. Series five would probably have to be shorter as well or it might begin to feel dragged out. Saying that they might write something into the script that adds longevity and life to the show, however i can't see where it would come from. All good things have to come to an end sadly.  _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

It appears the Fourth Season will be the last season!
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070511c.php I believe 4 seasons is a good length for BSG. Anymore would just be stretching out the story. Obviously, Battlestar Galactica is nearing Earth, so there won't be too much to show once they arrive and get situated. *UPDATE* http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?id=41457 Seems season 4 will be longer and may be not the end. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist This comment was edited by R2D2 on May 12 2007 02:54pm. |

Quote: Interview with Moore
I think season 4 will have a chance to redeem this show if it gets back to what made it great and moore doesn't try to shove his views are current politics into every scene. That's why Heroes has been so good; its complete escapism. My biggest issue with the cylons has been the numberings. You have 6, Sharons are 8's. The D'anna model is a 3. That puts them all over the place in numbering and no spot for the 5 mystery cylons to have been a sequential number set. It takes away some of that believability for me that the other cylons couldn't know who they were like they seem to. The last cylon to be revealed will be the Cylon's God I think. I think there are 12 Cylon "skin job" models and also one Cylon God, making a total of 13 Cylon types. 13 tribes... 13 Cylons... Perhaps there is a connection. Also, Alex, I think the BSG movie is meant to go more into the background story of the Pegasus, and somehow relate to what is currently happening. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist This comment was edited by R2D2 on Apr 06 2007 05:31am. |

Just saw it and... QFE! HOLY FRAK what an great two parter. That final 10 minutes was crazy, thought the music worked really well to build up the scene as well. Knew Starbuck would be back though. 
My first thought was - she is the 5th model. What with the music playing and the others obviously being the four then it seemed likely. However her saying she has been to Earth made it a little more unclear, also wasn't she wearing a helment from the original version of BSG? That would be new... If its not her then i'm not sure who it is. I don't think its Baltar - I think it would of been revealed if he was and Caprica's vision showed Baltar being with her and Hera as the looked upon the final five. Can't see who could of resisted the music, maybe they were not onboard Galactica though? This series has evolved as it has gone on, but its still proving consistantly watchable for me - and i think it classes as excellent escapism, but clever twisty and complex escapism. Kinda like Lost in that way. Roll on series 4. Oh and in case it hasn't been posted yet i read on Wikipedia that the tv movie will be a prequel about the Pegasus. Plus am i the only one here who thought them choosing the guy who played Badger from Firefly to be the defence attorney was a brilliant move, that guy was awesome. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Quote: *DISCLAIMER* If you have not seen the season finale, there may or may not be spoilers in this post.
There is still one unrevealed cylon left!! Any guesses? Oh please let it be one of the Adamas to drive that final nail into humanity's coffin. The "good guys" always win. I want to see something new! I think those 4 peeps are Cylons, but a different kind imo. I have this theory which I sort of posted on facebook briefly. What if the 13th Tribe, aka Earth's inhabitants, had a hand in developing the Cylons to begin with? The first models they created were intended to support/protect humanity. 4/5 of these "cylons" we saw earlier. They are located in important positions in the fleet or have played a key role in the Resistance. Perhaps their proximity to Earth triggered the music, resulting in their revelation about their identity. These 5 "Cylon" models were unique from the other 7 and were kept hidden from them as a back-up plan by the 13th tribe to protect humanity. About the fifth cylon... my guesses are: Baltar - he may have heard a tid-bit of the music before the psycho chick took him to the Jesus Baltar cult Starbuck - for obvious reasons Felix "Butterfingers" Gaeta - Gaeta maybe hiding some secret about himself... Dee - she always seemed a little mysterious to me _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist This comment was edited by R2D2 on Mar 27 2007 05:11pm. |

This season really has taken a turn for the worse overall I think though. Still probably one of the best shows out there but its definitely taken a dive. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Sorry for the double-post, but I found a nice interview with the actors portraying Roslin and Admiral Adama.

It is getting some interesting plot stuff going on. The love rhombus/quadrilateral has been resolved, found that a bit overexaggerated when it was a major factor of an episode during a battle with the cylons. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

*Bump*
Yeah i know, double post but just wanted to say how badly hooked i am into this since i rented the second series on dvd, i've almost finished it and its blown me away 
Great, fantastic, television, with some very clever plots. Why isn't more tv like this? How are people finding the third series so far? It just seems to keep getting better for me. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?
