    Default Get your frak on! ONE WEEK til 4th & last season of Battlestar Galactica!



    Best show (currently) on TV, if you ask me. Not that ya did. Regardless, I'm psyched. Especially that this will be running over the summer while I'm cooped up in blissful-but-hermetic newmommydom.

    Anyway, I know there are other watchers here. Check out the BSG In Eight Minutes clip here. Aweomeness. (Though I doubt you'd appreciate if you didn't watch the show already.)

    Okay: Theories on the Final Cylon? I personally think it's actually NOT Starbuck - that she's something else altogether (like a hybrid, having to do with the ovary they harvested from her in that freaky reproductive factory), and that her reappearance at the end of the S3 finale was a red herring in that sense. I do have an idea about who the other one might be, but I want to hear other ideas first.

    And how frakkin' great was Razor?!? Exceeded even my own high expectations. I thought the Gina backstory was particularly potent.

    The Last Cylon is Fuhrer King Bradley.

    To be honest, my belief of the final Cylon goes back to the reference made to Gaius when they found the Cylon device in C.I.C. I always wondered if that guy was "wakened" or not, and I would really be impressed to find that the 5th Cylon has hints that go all the way back that far.

    Razor was great. I loved the relationship between the Cylon and the Admiral being so unspoken and done so well, therefor making the pain of the mistreated cylon so dark. Especially knowing how that all played out providing it such depth and meaning.

    I honestly don't want to guess at the fifth cylon. I think I know who it is, and I'm scared to say

    It would only be satisfying if it DID go back that far, and I predict that it will. THAT'S meticulously thought-out writing there.

    But who do you mean by "that guy"? Gaius? It's established he's not a Cylon, and would be a major copout if he were. Not to mention making bogus the entire premise of infiltrating the defense system through him at the very beginning

    No, in the episode where hottie bo blondie mcrobot points out the Cylon bomb mounted on the C.I.C display (I know you know the episode name you super sexy trivia winner), Gaius points out the round-faced cylon in the very stylin blue overcoat that had free access to the C.I.C and they ended up droppin his ass in the gas-surrounded re-arming station.

    I always wondered if he woke AFTER the X/O locked him in.

    Well, not to be all smugly Miss That's-An-Established-Fact here, but he is most definitely a Cylon and considered part of the established multi-copied Seven. His name is Doral. Coincidentally, check out his 1st name (which wasn't mentioned on the show that I remember, I just found the list on Wikipedia).

    The italics that follow each are my clarifications, just for thee.

    1 Number Three (aka D'Anna Biers). The actress formerly known as Xena.
    2 Number Five (aka Aaron Doral). Aforementioned low-rent Kevin Spacey-esque dude.
    3 Number Six (aka Caprica-Six/Head Six/Shelley Godfrey/Gina Inviere/Natalie). Duh.
    4 Number Eight (aka Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii/Lt. Sharon "Athena" Agathon) Tragic heroines, sniff.
    5 Leoben Conoy (Cylon Model Number Unknown) Starbuck's stalker.
    6 Brother Cavil (Cylon Model Number Unknown) Dean Stockwell's priest character who was boning Colonel Tigh's traitorous harpy of a wife.
    7 Simon (Cylon Model Number Unknown) Token black. First (and mainly) featured as a doctor to Starbuck in the freaky reproductive farm.

    Thanks.

    I meant that he just wasn't the one who planted the bomb. And the 5th has access to C.I.C. I knew he was a Cylon and I used "Awoke" in a bad way, I meant "Activated" like Boomer. He didn't get to his purpose and therefor was never activated until after he got exiled from Galactica. I often think he was "luckily" picked and turned out to be a cylon. Gauis did just guess, really.

    I know what you mean - BUT! I so respect this decision on their part. I think it shows a lot of integrity to resist the temptation to string a show out for as long as the writers and producers possibly can, just to keep it on the air and make money. I love that they have exactly this much story to tell, and they're going to tell it and be done with it (save for the occasional offshoot).

    How many other shows can claim that kind of discipline? How many originally great series become slowly watered down, more and more implausible or just plain convoluted over time? I'm sad to see it end, but I'd rather that than see it ruined slowly.

    Okay, I gotcha now. Personally, I think he knew he was acting undercover all along, but you could be right. Well at any rate, that device could have been planted by any one of the Cylons we now know to be high-up insiders. Tigh himself, for example!

    OR - could have been planted by the Final Cylon *I* have in mind. Though I have other theories too.

    HEY! I was just watching some of the other features on the site, and lookie who (among many others) endorses this by saying, and I quote, "It's the best show I've ever seen." That's right, my lord and master, JOSS.

    Check out the "Phenomenon" clip (after the "What the Frak is Going On" clip of course).

    Maybe they'll go all Jar Jar Binks on us and make up a new character this season that is and just give him a background that reaches back to S1.

    Pff. What do you think this is? "Lost"?



    (Apologies, "Lost" lubbers. )

    Mast, check out the clip I just linked. Along with His Jossness they have Scott Ian, the Robot Chicken writers, & other incongruous yet passionate fans waxing geeky about the show! Even that Talk Soup guy drops the snark (ok, mostly) and talks earnestly about his BSG lerve. Great stuffs.

    ^^- All I'm saying is how are we going to teach Rostridonicus how to sign "BSG"



    ETA: I have to say, I agree with all of them. Even my roommate and I waited to watch Razor till it was an appropriate time that wasn't toooooo far of from S4 E1. But right now we're totally doing the FMA thing.

    I think this is my MOST FAVORITE TV show EVER!!!! My brother kept trying to get me into but I didn't give in till February, where I lost days on my couch watching one episode after another.

    Look what happened to Alias.

    I will pathetically admit that it will leave a HUGE void in my life once it goes off the air

    I really haven't found a show that really encapsulated the human foibles of politics, values, and culture.

    I don't know how I'm going to bear waiting a week in between episodes.

    Any other shows in this genre anybody can recommend?

    While I am looking forward to Battlestar next week, it's also the start of the next season of Doctor Who, which I am 100 times more excited about! Doctor Who is my favorite show.

    Not that I have any idea about the final Cylon but I would think it would be hilarious if once the get to earth, they find that only human model Cylons live there.

    You should be scared to say. I throw things at spoilers.

    Can't wait, love it, allegory for our times, etc etc. Starbuck is from up here, coincidentally.

    Oh I love this show too! I'm not real sure how to describe it but there's just a certain power to BSG that none of the other current shows have. I can hardly wait till next week.

    Just have to share: Anthrax with Apollo!


    And Scott Ian getting into a Viper!


    Susan, I'm not surprised she's from your neck of the woods. You guys have all the badass babes.

    You should be scared to say. I throw things at spoilers
    Can I clarify here? I do want this to be a strictly spoiler-free thread, but by spoiler I mean specifically actual information on upcoming plot events, found out by access to upcoming episodes, scripts, interviews where some sloppy cast member accidentally spills something, that kind of thing. Pure speculation about our own theories is totally kosher and encouraged.

    If anyone's unsure about whether or not something counts as a spoiler but you want to post it, err on the side of caution by using spoilerfont (in the "advanced" options, select white as the text color). Like so (highlight to read, leave it to remain innocent): Roslin is the final Cylon. NO, no, not officially, that is but ONE of my theories on the final Cylon identity.

    Here's another little tidbit. A tease, really. An amuse-bouche.
