Does anyone watch this show? I still have a preference for the old version, even though it was rather cheesy but the new one is doing a good job at keeping an audience...

[Steph*]

Isn't that the show with the hot asian or something? I don't really like sci-fi movies but I remember some girl...named Grace Park...or something like that on some space show.

[papabear]

yeah, Grace Park, she plays Boomer... and a cylon!

[cocoa]

I watch it! It's pretty good...so far I've only seen the miniseries and a handful of episodes from season 1 and 2.

I'm actually going to see the cast at the Paley Festival they're having in Los Angeles next Friday! ^^

[sweet_pai]

Last episode was really good, i wonder what the six and sharon will do with there new pact....

they're going to vote the annoying guy off the show...

[kiss*kiss]

How many episodes or seasons of the new Battlestart Galactica have been on?

I like sci-fi and this show looks interesting... but I feel as though it's too hard to follow... plus I just started watching BG: The Story So Far... right in the middle... hahaha... Great.

Anyone have links to a good site with BG background info/storyline?

[res0nate]

10 Webisodes to pre Season 3. As well as the 12min preview for Ep1.S3
20 for S2.
12 or 14 eps in S1. The pilot is debatable; was split from one full ep, or 2 & 4 parts. Same w/the finale.
Episode list

You could try wiki for BSG. If you do plan on watching S1-2, make sure you watch the Dir.Cut of the Pegasus episode in S2.

The Story So Far did a good job, they missed some things that might've filled out certain situations but yeah, gj watching half of it hahha.

I sat threw the first two seasons in a few weeks not too long ago. Easily one of the best shows ever. Anyways, you can catch the webisodes here at the sci-fi site. click

[globosapien]

this show's allright. the only time i watch it is to catch a glimpse of grace park. she's hot!

[kiss*kiss]

I'm watching the season premier right now... I knew this story would be hard to follow.

I read the wiki entry... Gave me the gist but I'm still lost.

One thing I'm really confused about: is the real Sharon Valerii dead?

And how many Boomer/Sharon cylons are there? I saw one on the ship with old Adama and then there's one on New Caprica. Both are cylons right? I'm getting that the one on the ship thinks she's good.... I don't know what's up with the one on NC.

Sorry for being such a newb! ^^;;

[res0nate]

Spoilers:
At the end of S1, Sharon encounters a whole ship full of clones which finally cements her fears about being a cylon.
End of S2, the Sharon that revives in the pool but doesn't accept her identity is the one that shot Adama (not the pregnant Sharon) at the end of S1; she feels a connection w/Six (the NC versions)
The Sharon thats w/Adama+Helo was the pregnant one.

The pregnant Sharon knew she was a cylon from the start but when she fell in love w/Helo, she tried to be good, like the 'real' Sharon that everyone knew. Over time, as things started to fall apart, she got more homicidal.

They'll elaborate more on the NC Sharon. So we'll see how in touch she is w/her human side after what happened in S2. All in all, they're all cylons until they do some "before Sharon got cloned" nonsense.
end.

I'll catch the Canadian premiere tomorrow night if it isn't on torrent soon. I'm curious as to who the other 5 models are when it comes ot the cyclons, iirc they had 12.

edit - Watching the premiere now, opinions later.

Great ep and its too obvious as to what happened in the end lol. Especially on what is going to unfold as the premise of this season.

[kiss*kiss]

^Okay, so after watching the mini movie and the first two eps of s1 I get why you answered the way you did. And I see why my question doesn't even really make sense. *sigh* I just wish she wasn't what she is...
So I've only seen ep1 of season 3, the mini movie, and the first 2 eps of season 1... My comment is in regard to those eps:

- Its so weird seeing who everyone is now hooked up with (compared to s1).
- Gaius Baltar and Six (whatever her name is...) could not be more annoying... I know they are a pivotal part of the show but I can't stand him, her, and their screen time.
- Starbuck has changed... (Ok, everyone has... But she's getting scarier...)
- Apollo is cute in s1 (hopefully in s2 also...obviously I'm a girl )

Which brings me to another point... Is it odd that a girl watches this show? When asking my friend to burn me s1, he was surprised and said it was weird... I mean I know this is a male oriented show (and don't argue with me because I'll say one word and win: Six) but I like sci-fi and it has a pretty cool storyline. Anyways... I can't wait for the rest of s3.

And continue to post spoilers! It gives me something to look forward to. ^^

[res0nate]

I felt the same way about Baltar and Six for an ep or two, until I realized just how good and dynamic they are in the show. I realized that I didn't answer you completely about teh Sharon thing, but there isn't a solid # haha.

I agree though, Apollo is a handsome guy (no homo!) then you see how far most, if not all the crew and reg. cast members have fallen in S3.

Sharon Agathon (now called Miss Helo!) is going to... well, you'll see later on haha.

I don't want to post spoilers from S1/2; you have to sit through it all and just love how it all comes together haha. I wouldn't even know where to start =\

Not odd at all for a girl to watch BSG. Good looking ppl aside, it has a great story that keeps viewers hooked and to an extent, a space opera. Not to be compared to rubbish like... I don't know. Passions or something haha.

Had BSG been on FOX, the series would've bit the dust just like Firefly, which was amazing for its unfortunate short run.

[kiss*kiss]

Spoilers:
All in all, they're all cylons until they do some "before Sharon got cloned" nonsense.
end.

Okay, I'll watch the rest of S1 and S2, while watching S3... hahaha... BUT you MUST answer this question for me 'cause it will drive me bonkers if you don't:

Is there are a real Sharon Valerii? I mean... a REAL one. From the little that I have seen... I just figured that the cylons that look like humans were just made...

Oh, and I also wanted to say that you don't have to post things that have already aired (like S1, S2 info) as spoilers on my behalf. Because they really aren't spoilers. Plus, I've been watching BSG in a nonsensical order (BSG: The Story So Far, S3 ep1, S1 ep 1 and 2).

Aw, and "Miss Helo"... that's so adorable. What I thought was THE sweetest moment was when Helo and Sharon were looking at their baby and she said "We made that." Hahaha...

[res0nate]

Haha, ok I don't know for sure but they probably do have an original pure human one for each model or atleast bred and altered via the genes / embryo.

Maybe Sharon is technically 40 years old after the first war, they managed to get a hold of embryo's and have been tweaking them ever since, growing them in batches until its just right lol.

Well, then I can't spoil much bc I tried not to read much into the happenings of S3. I just feel that Miss Helo will turn her back on the humans again, and someone unexpected will help Adama and crew.

Starbuck and Conoy are damn freaky. I thought the kid would blow up or something lol.

edit - I'm waiting for Xena to do some warcry and just manhandle ppl.

[kiss*kiss]

I finished Season 1! It was awesome. I'm hooked.

Okay, so I figured out why I don't like Gaius and Six. Aside from being a broken record: Gaius - "I'm not on any side." Six - "Repent. God loves you. God has a plan for you." (I get it already...) I'm just completely dying to know whether a) Gaius is nuts/feeling guilty and that's why he sees Six, Six really did implant a chip in his head, c) Gaius is a cylon, or d) God is really speaking to him. I just want to know which one it is already!!

[res0nate]

*In S2, the Dr scans Baltar's head and doesn't find anything foreign, so that rules out a chip. Six also denies it later on in the season iirc.
And for a while, lots of viewers figured him to be a cylon, except his personal thoughts, actions and whatnot ruled it out.
I don't think it was fully explained, its more like an imprint / conscience; Caprica Six (in S2, appeared to have "died" along w/Baltar when she tried to shield him from the Caprica nuke[might not be true.. I think]) has images of that specific Baltar as well.
But that doesn't work, bc Six tells him things he doesn't even know himself. The baby+Miss Helo, being one of them.*

I can't wait a few days till ep3 =\ After watching S1, did anyone else come to mind, as to the other human cylons? I still have one name but I'd be completely surprised if it was actually true.

Good to hear that you're enjoying it.

edit - so much for spoilers eh. I hope that makes sense.

[kiss*kiss]

Oh man, the latest episode gave me a bad feeling about things to come for Sharon Agathon. Her whole "Adama wouldn't lie to me" line... yikes.

Which leads me to a question because I haven't watched S2, but does Adama know about the baby swap? I know Roslin knows... but who else?

One more question (heh, of course...) do they ever address how Gaius survived the Caprica bombing/explosion? I know res0nate you mention him dying with Caprica Six but in the show... how do they explain him surviving the blast?

And I don't care if Tyrol is married to Cally and had a baby with her... they just don't seem to "work" for me. I can see Cally in love with him... but I don't think he loves her like he loved Sharon.

And what's up with Ellen's face? That's been bugging me... she has this like weird mark/scar on her upper lip area...


I'll be back with more comments and questions later.

[res0nate]

I tried not to read too much of your post since I didn't see tonights ep.

Roslin + secretary, Adama, Doc Cottle and.. I think thats all they revealed. I'd have to watch the ep again to see if anyone else was present and or told.

I'm assuming Ellen got beat by Cavill; they never showed anything about that in the webisodes or what actually lead to Tigh's arrest. It jumped from planning something big to.. bam, right there inthe slammer.

re: Baltar blast. They didn't, other than that particular explanation w/Six.
Haha, I can understand the Cally thing. It was one of those things where it was subtle in S1/2 and all of a sudden in S3.
