I've inadvertently read spoilers for the next episode but I'm still looking forward to the final outcome.<BR/><BR/>So there were TWO stages of building machines? I guess there had to be with what we know now.<BR/><BR/>The main message I'm getting from this is that we're all connected and we would be a lot better off if we understood this.<BR/><BR/>I gave up on Lost when Virgin lost Sky in their spat a while back. Although it's back, I'm not tempted. I can't see where you can take that story. At times it was holding on by its fingernails.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-53897062164118092009-01-25T11:14:00.000+00:002009-01-25T11:14:00.000+00:00When I visited the other day I had to tear my eyes...When I visited the other day I had to tear my eyes away, until I watched it last night.<BR/><BR/>A bit weird (but in a good way)? Yes.<BR/><BR/>So it seems to work like this.<BR/><BR/>Humans evolved on Kobol, and eventually built a race of machines. There was a nasty war between them and the 12 tribes of the humans fled to found the colonies. The mythical 13th tribe were lost.<BR/><BR/>Millennia late the humans, having forgotten their history, built a race of machines, who turned on them in two nasty wars.<BR/><BR/>The surviving humans make their way to Earth to find that not only had those humans built a race of machines who turned on them in a war a couple of thousand years previous, but that were themselves descended from the 13th tribe ... who were made up of the original cylons.<BR/><BR/>Eternal recurrence anyone?<BR/><BR/>The semi-mystical plot line is starting to get very messy. I do wonder if they will iron it all out. That said, it's nothing compared to the tangled mess that is Lost (which is back t'nite :D)Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-7478561791154324252009-01-23T20:33:00.000+00:002009-01-23T20:33:00.000+00:00Hi GFS3,There's a lot of intelligent stuff being w...Hi GFS3,<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of intelligent stuff being worked out in the series you don't often find on TV. Hope you love it.<BR/><BR/>A, you had me rushing to my TV guide in case I was missing it. Are you watching in the US? Does this mean you're only half a week ahead of us?

In a month I viewed all the episodes from the mini-series to season 4 inclusive. It's that good! Try not to find out anything about what's happening now and start working your way through all the episodes from the start. <BR/><BR/>Madam Miaow -- many thanks for blogging about BSG. <BR/><BR/>As for Dualla's character biting the dust, I too was disapointed but can you blame the poor girl? Anyone who has spent time with Apollo would surely want to off themselves, no?<BR/><BR/>As for Starbuck, my favourite character, I believe she may be half-cyclon.<BR/><BR/>Tonight is episode #2 of the final season ...Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898085291577753520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-13252448639439139132009-01-23T16:48:00.000+00:002009-01-23T16:48:00.000+00:00I don't watch TV, but now I want to start renting ...I don't watch TV, but now I want to start renting the Battlestar DVDs and start watching the series.<BR/><BR/>And I did love the original...GFS3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15759347763430390352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-18530151734459491692009-01-21T21:08:00.000+00:002009-01-21T21:08:00.000+00:00Rustbelt, I missed the Mario Savio reference, I'm ...Rustbelt, I missed the Mario Savio reference, I'm ashamed to say.

Judas should be 5th or 6th from the left — maybe Lee Adama who's turned away from Six. Has his elbow on the table just as Judas does in the painting. On the other hand, so does Baltar, and he'd make a more likely Judas as he loves Six so much and is therefore in a position for any betrayal to have that much more meaning.<BR/><BR/>Starbuck is immediately to Six's right and should therefore be either Thomas, James or Philip. Doubting Thomas?<BR/><BR/>Matthew, Jude and Simon should form a group of three on the extreme right.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, dying to solve the mystery of who Starbuck is and why she found what she did on Earth.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-36567384988312429692009-01-21T10:48:00.000+00:002009-01-21T10:48:00.000+00:00Poor Starbuck... given the picture looks like da V...Poor Starbuck... given the picture looks like da Vinci's Last Supper... erm, I'll leave you to fill in the rest!<BR/><BR/>Poor Anna, best get your tissues ready!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-31502572511630704222009-01-21T01:43:00.000+00:002009-01-21T01:43:00.000+00:00I keep expecting to be sorely disappointed in BSG ...I keep expecting to be sorely disappointed in BSG and it hasn't happened yet. They have 9 more episodes to do it. So far so good. Excellent use of Bob's apocalyptic song. Didn't an earlier season have a scene where Mario Savio's Sproul Hall speech was given verbatim in a show about a general strike on the fleet? I also saw an interview with Ron Moore where he was wearing a baseball hat with a symbol that looked suspiciously like the iconic image from a flag that once flew over 1/8 of the world's surface. Coincidence?
