Oh no you didn't. Oh I can't believe you made another bad post about my favorite show. Now you've really ruined it for me. Waaahhhhhhh. I can't believe you convinced me that good is bad. You're such an awful person. How could you? Tell me what other shows suck so I can make sure not to like them either OK? Thanx.

I think this is the first time I've put someone on my ignore list from a non-PL post.

Avoiding all spoilers in this thread I just wanted to add I am getting the first disc of the first Season of BSG from Netflix tomorrow.

Can't wait to get the addiction!

Right on. By the end of season 1 it becomes like crack.

Be sure to watch them in order though as it is one big story arc.

[sek929]

I am getting the 'miniseries' disc first, even though I already watched the original I might as well.

And written by the person who wrote the single worst epsiode of the entire series. No thanks.

Which one do you have in mind? Black Market (2x14)?

Spoiler: it's the emperor's new clothes. You don't need to waste your time on this. Trust me, I know what I'm saying..

With this forums with its constant spinning of yarns and the usual patterns of discussion I thought I *was* in a knitting forum!

Oh pull the wool out from your eyes! Can't you see he's just needling you? Don't let it throw you for a loop.

Very punny...

[ort888]

Let's leave politics out of it... but I'm sorry, this is just funny.

[Shaddim]

Ok, I'll bite. They'll find clues that a remnant of Earth's population was able to leave the planet and left behind a beacon (this is what Starbuck's Viper picked up on) relaying information about where they're headed, a planet the Earth scientists found that was believed to be inhabitable.

The humans from Earth left several generations ago, but have (much) slower ships, so the colonial ships and the people of Earth arrive at the new planet on the same day at the exact same time. Yes, the planet is fine, but it's ruled by sentient machines and their leader is the last 12th cylon. After a bit of conflict it's decided that the humans can live there, but the 12th cylon has his own agenda, something to do with the human/cylon hybrid children.

Oh well, it's pretty flimsy, but I just finished 4x10 tonight and haven't had much time to sit and hash it all out.

[Cadaver]

I just downloaded season 4.0 in HD from iTunes... can't wait for next weekend to have a marathon BSG session.

[mrtew]

When is the first episode of the new .5 season going to air?

[reader50]

January 2009.

I think it will be revealed that the entire thing is just a holodeck scenario on the Enterprise.

(And Data is the 12th Cylon.)

I read a while ago that Zak Adama would show up at the end of the season in a series of flashbacks. It wouldn't even make sense for it to be Adama's kid. You can go through life not knowing your best friend and second in command is a cylon. You can go through life not knowing your deck chief is a cylon. But how do you explain a child you raised from birth being a cylon? The old hospital baby-switch trick? Might work with the antichrist, but not with cylons. That would be pretty weak.

[scottiB]

My $$ is still on Zarek.

I think they are going to give us a pretty damn good reason. They even hinted this season when starbuck came back that "What if it was zak that stepped out of that viper. Would it matter that he was a cylon for the start, would they love him any less?"

I still think it is him for some reason as it has to be really shocking.

If you go through IMDB you can also see that Dee is only up to episode 415 so I assume she dies then.

[Stogieman]

Good. She is probably the worst actor on the show.

Her pep talk to Lee on the Pegasus was a horrible piece of acting.

I think it would make sense if Zak came back and was still played by Rick Springfield and Adama realized that Zarek was actually his human son "Apollo" and the guy everyone knows as 'Lee' is the robotic-acting 5th cylon who replaced him at birth.

So pay up.

Just saw this on IO9.com. Part of an interview that Aaron Douglas gave SFX magazine:

 

The four that were revealed at the end of season three are what they are, but they're one-offs. They're the original Cylons. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when there were 13 colonies on Kobol, 12 went that way and one went that way to found Earth — or create an Earth — and that colony was actually Cylons. They're individuals, there's no multiple models. The seven that we know are a different kind of Cylon that came much later. They're probably ten, 20 years old, born out of the metal machines that fought back in the Cylon wars of the 12 colonies. So they're essentially like the gods. And we were on the new Earth, and destroyed that and came back to the 12 colonies to rejoin humanity to find the cycle of time.

Why do we create a world and destroy ourselves? Why does humanity do that? And why do we as Cylons follow that path to humanity? So we sort of turned off the Cylon part of us and went and joined the humans. They don't know we're Cylons, and we didn't know until we started getting closer to Earth — that's when we started hearing that music at the end of the last season and get woken up to the fact that we are.

Chief certainly seems to be the most loose lipped cast member.

[design219]

Oh, geez, I don't like this.

[analogue SPRINKLES]

I'm not reading that.

[Uncle Skeleton]

The only way that could be any better is if they land on earth and everyone is apes.

[mrtew]

Wow I almost read that! Who read that! Are you glad you did? Should you not have?

[starman]

Ummm.....

I read it.

It kinda makes sense if you think about the progression of the show, but leaves holes open for the next 10 shows.

You don't need to read it.

[voodoo]

I'm pretty ambivalent that I did.

Whatever end the 'writers' will choose for this show, it will be an anticlimax because they've 'written' themselves into a corner a long time ago.

This is Twin Peaks all over again.

I started to read it — really major spoilers, but the little bit that I read was stuff that I (and probably most other fans) had already guessed even though they haven't revealed it. I didn't want to go on, though, because it's pretty explicit.

EDIT: That is, "explicit" as in it's a detailed description of how things turn out. Not like there are naked folks or anything.

And, of course, she always tells the truth.

The spoiler above is over a year old. A writer from TV Guide called it when he learned that the 13th tribe was named

 

Cylon

.

[mrtew]

Doh, that's it... I think I'm going to stop clicking on those spoiler tags!!! Or even reading this thread!

It's all pretty much in line with what I've been thinking.

[Shaddim]

I almost read it, but stopped after about the 3rd word.

[ThinkInsane]

Sorry about the lack of spoiler tags. Stoopid on my part. Thanks for fixing that Reader.

[andi*pandi]

It's what I had guessed anyhow. Still doesn't reveal who the 5th one is.

[analogue SPRINKLES]

By the way I saw Olmos and the chief at the comic convention here in Toronto about a month ago. Me and my friend were in the front row centre seat cuz we got mistaken for press and scored big time with some wicked picts.

Olmos is very different in person than his character, he smiles the whole time, very relaxed and polite. Not a hint of an Ego, super nice man. The chief is cool but very hyper and sarcastic.

Anywho he MIGHT have let a bit of a spoiler slip from what I heard. He was saying how the cliffhanger was so impactful to the characters because "they arrive at earth and find it is nuked so bad THEY CAN'T EVEN STAY". The "can't stay" part was interesting as I thought they might make due for a while but by the sounds of it they leave right away and god knows where they plan on heading.

[voodoo]

The worst actor on the show.. it's redundant. They're all equally awful - except from Olmos. He's pretty good... no thanks to the script, the show, the directors, producers, co-actors --- in fact he's the anomaly which proves the rule.

[Don Pickett]

I read it: it doesn't really spoil anything, as it gives no clue where the show is going.

EJO is uniformly recognized as being a Nice Guy, very professional, and outright fun to be around. And this isn't "since he's matured and smoothed out," either. Check out the special features in the Bladerunner ultimate release-a LOT of cool stuff came from Eddie on that one.

IIRC, someone in the last scene was holding a geiger counter that was clicking pretty rapidly, so I just sort of assumed they weren't going to be hanging around anyway.
