What does everyone think about BSG Razor? I personally thought it was good, and had the typical strenghts of BSG (hard-lining with characters, not just playing around/fooling the viewer to create artificial tension, convincing actors and acting), but generally it felt more like an out-of-band episode, i didn't really like the appearance of the old-style Cylons, and i don't know what to think about the entire Hybrid story, it's a little hard to piece together what is now meant for BSG mainline, and what was just the "special" part about it which probably won't get any further mention.

All in all, i'd rate it a 7/10, with as comparsion "Downloaded (2x18)" rated by me as 9.5/10

Globally I thought it was pretty good, the main character was pretty interesting. However, when it comes to how the Razor storyline will fit in with the main BSG storyline, I can only guess that the hybrids will play some important role in season 4 maybe, and what the hybrid had to say about Starbuck was pretty interesting too.

Anyhow, we'll find everything out in season 4.

seems to be a bit of a wait for season 4...

Yeah, I saw that. However, i'm a patient man, I don't mind waiting a couple more months for the fourth season.

As the topic title said I just saw a commercial saying Battlestar Gallactica will be back in March.

I thought I'd share with those here on QSS.

I had never watched the show until I saw it on these forums now Im hooked. I can't wait for the new season!

The end of the season episode only left me wanting more.
did the cilons blow up the twelve colonies to put the final five through hell to see if they were close to humanity or not.
cheers for the info and i cant wait till march, thank god i've got sky one

I'm with you guys. Looking forward to the season 4 start in March. Also it looks like the writers strike is about to end so we may get the whole season and not just the projected first ten episodes. Check out this site for more news:

i was a fan of the old show
but i really havnt got into the new one

While I enjoyed the original with Lorne Greene emmensely as a boy. I prefer the "Reimagined" Series. A bit more flashy & the characters are pretty good. Even though the cylons can take on a human appearance now. Although it was also an adjustment to see Boomer & Starbuck being played by the fairer sex. Oh yeah, having the original Apollo back on the show, that was an interesting twist as well.

I have all three seasons & was only too glad to get the webisodes & Razor. Now Razor took an interesting look back on Admiral Cain's command. She was originally a rebellious character on Star Trek: The Next Generation named Ro Laren. My how she progressed.

Season four is a much anticipated show for me & the premiere on April 4 will not be here soon enough.

Here on the shows official home page is a neat clip called "What the frak is going on? Catch up to season four in eight minutes." Makes for some fun viewing, enjoy.

Who Do You Think Will Be The Final Cylon?

I think they might shock everyone and make it Lee Adama but im still undecided on who to pick lots of names have been tossed around as to who might be the final Cylon. So I figured I would get other peoples thoughts on it since Season 4 Will Air On Space On April 4th. Leave Comments

Been watching this the last 2 seasons. I'm ready for 4! They say this is the final season and that they will answer all the unanswered questions.... I guessed 3 out of the 4 cylons revealed last season correctly. Any bets on the fifth? In the origonal series, Baltar was the leader of the cylons, but that would be too obvious. My money is on the President..

I'm leaning in the same direction, however tragic that would be. I was not pleased with the fact that Chief Tyrol & Colonel Tigh were "written" like that, sighs.

I didn't like them written that way either. Esp Chief. But.. that does bring up an interesting twist though. If Chief is a cylon, what does that make he and Callie's baby? The next evolved generation of cylon? And is Callie human? Is the baby the "fifth"?

I sure hope someone can get the new epi link in here before I get off work Fri. nite.. I'm dying to see it!

Seeing that Helo & Athena (Boomer 2) have baby Hera, maybe Chiefs & Callies can go against 'em UFC style (dueling babies), grin.

The season four premiere is televised at 9:00pm CST/GMT-6. Chances are that it won't be linked until at least a few hours afterwards. It's good to dream though. REM is good for the brain, snicker.

dueling babies... LOL! Let's see here... I get off at midnight, home around 1, grab a beer and turn on the compy... Yep, I should be good to go. * rubs hands together* It better be worthy.

Worthy...?!! Of course it will, c'mon, it's frakken BSG. How long have we been waiting? Over a year, nearly a year. They could make me watch the cast paint a wall with white paint & I'd "still" frakken love it, snicker.

LOL! true nuf... I've been holding my breath ever since Starbuck went "KABOOM"!! C'mon Friday!!

President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) is a big one that's floating around. Strange how it didn't make the list.

I agree. Why didn't President Roslin make the list? Nonetheless, I will not jinx anything. This show gives me goosebumps. I cannot wait until tomorrow when Season 4 begins. I will be glued to my television, like I have been all week because of the marathon. I am going to stop here because I can talk for hours about this show.

4x01 - He That Believeth In Me - Recap

They just had to do it...
Eerie how the cylon fighter ship recognized Sam, then they all left.
Starbuck's ship is clean & w/o nav records. They don't believe she's human.
Apollo wants to work as a civie.
Gaius got a makeover & almost lost his throat in the process.
Starbuck's got the prez in her sights...to be continued...aaarrrggghhh.

I screamed at the to be continued. Man I am still on the edge of my seat, especially that whole thing with Anders and the Cylon base ship. I could not help but cover my mouth when the camera went back to Colonel Tigh after that happened. I can't wait until it is revealed that they were Cylons the whole time. There is a good chance I will cry because I cannot imagine how the rest will act. Man I can't wait! Everything is driving me insane!!!

It's alright...besides, they're gonna drag it out...oh the agony.

Hi all

Somehow I missed all the activity in this thread.

There has been a tag line in the commercials for the premiere episode that says something like "all will be revealed"
Lol, while I did not expect everything to be revealed in the first episode, I did hope that we'd get a bit more than we got.

That comes from the fact that I had not watched a single episode of this show until just a few months ago, So I was lucky to watch the shows for the 3 past seasons
one after the other ( thanks to the magic of QSS ) no waiting for a week to see the next episode.

So I guess I must use my patience and wait for this season slowly to unfold
, and all will eventually be revealed.


btw, I too was a fan of the original series. Obviously the advancement in technology makes for a more spectacular use of special effects.
I happen to particularly like the battle scenes with all the missiles firing and the huge array of ships all moving about and exploding, quite impressive!


Enjoy the show!

Glad you could pop in for some fun, thread starting Sinbad, grin.

Oh I know they will drag this out like crazy. The little things they do to make sure we come back for more!

Hmmm

I had to vote: Not Sure

First - I know that it appears that we know who the 4 are, but has it been confirmed?
I mean, we have seen that they think they are cylons and there have been a few odd things to push
us to believe it, but are we sure?

Second - I have to think that the final one is someone real big - First assumption might be Star buck, but as
Deathdealer and Urbangiggles have said President Roslin certainly is a possibility.
However, every time I think about it Admiral Adama keeps coming to mind. I cant shake the feeling that they just might go in that direction.
But, then I think about the big deal the cylons are making about the "first" human cylon baby. So since Admiral Adama has children that
more or less rules him out I suppose. It points toward someone without children.

I hope it's not Baltar, Imho he's a bit to obvious of a candidate.

Hehe What do you think? last episode five minutes to go they tell who it is, then screen goes black , credits roll? - just kidding that would be ugly.

Youre late with Starbuck, she is no cylon thats offical, she said it in many interviews

OMG.. didn't get to watch until last night, and hmmmmm...
Starbuck's ship was one I wasn't expecting. They keep trying to throw more evidence on her to make it seems she's the fifth, and I still believe she's not a cylon. I'm thinking pointing a gun at the Prez is probably not the brightest idea. And the scene with Sam and the cylon ship.. they had to recognise him as one of their own. He was so freaked out about "the what if" when he took off.. poor guy's gonna be a train wreck before it's over. What's the deal with Gaius and the little boy? They spent too much time on this little boy for his connection to Gaius to be no big deal. Maybe now Gaius will think he's got a hotline to God... LOL! Col. Tigh's little head trip on the bridge... WOW! for a sec I thought it was real! *whew* This final season will drive us nuts with anticipation.

I love this show!!

ohhhh, one question. Anybody think that the 4 revealed and the fifth have anything to do with the time spent on the planet under cylon occupation last season? I was just wondering how many of the five were made prisoners of the cylons during that time?

Interesting theory, all four of them were on New Caprica too. The Colonel is the only one that was incarcerated though. Twas where he lost 'is eye...yarrr.

That is an interesting theory. I have one as well concerning the fifth. The person I think is the fifth is someone I think a lot have passed over because it is kind of insane. I am actually leading towards Lee Adama (Captain's son). EXPLANATION: There was that scene at the last 5-10 minutes of the last episode last season where Lee is running in one direction and he changes direction when he sees the crowd running the other way. I was thinking what if he heard the music as well and was running to find out where it was coming from but did not reach there in time with the others? Not unless I missed something, but he had no reason I saw to run that way. That would mean Captain Adama would have some explaining to do. What do you guys think? This sounds weird but I could not help but think that at that little scene.

Here's more theorizing on the fifth/twelfth.

Those are very interesting. I did not even think about the half-breed, maybe because that is a tad bit too obvious. Some of the underdogs really would be a nice choice. A lot of us do not know what they are all about, they are good choices. I can't help but just keep thinking on who it could be. I did like the original Starbuck choice, that would be very interesting.

I had to stop and think for a minute... Prez Ros was captured (hmmmm...) and so was Callie, but she got help getting free. I don't recall off the top of my head how Prez got free. Maybe tonight's epi will give us another clue. I think with this being the last season, they won't be able to hold out on who the fifth is for too long. They'll have to reveal them, and have the final battle/race for earth to tie up the storyline by seasons end.

President Roslin was with the group on the truck that was being "escorted" out of town to the slaughter.

At the last minute, one of the NCP's helped her & the others find freedom as the rebels opened fire on the convoy.

They all escaped as Galactica & Pegasus arrived to ferry them off. It was a tumultuous scene.

Quoting myself above - I guess I can stop being suspicious that they were pulling one over on us and admit that the "4" cylons
are confirmed since even the lead in to the show tells us they have been identified and shows them to us.

I don't have any serious new thoughts on who the twelfth will be, but recently seeing the show again where Admiral Adama mentions his role
in the actions that caused the cylons to start the war made me start to rethink that he would have been a good "plant" by the cylons
since I assume they were looking to start the war anyway.

As the series is winding down I have to believe that the remaining cylon is a major character.
In my mind that means

President Roslin
Admiral Adama
Lee Adama
Gaius Baltar
Starbuck

I have to add that even though there are statements that Starbuck is not a cylon Ill believe it when they confirm it in show

I just don't think that Cally or Gaeta are important enough characters for either one of them to be the twelfth.

I couldn't agree more with you. It makes sense for the Cylons to be the more important characters. I mean look at the four they have revealed to us. Colonel Tigh is an important figure and close to the Captain; Tyrol is pretty much the backbone of the ship, he helps it to run; Tory is the assistant to President Roslin; and Anders is one of the more stronger pilots/soldiers. It definitely has to be someone of importance or someone who it close to someone who is important.

4x02 - Six Of One - Recap

Poor Starbuck, nearly got shot, now she's gone over the edge.
Cylon 1 - Cavil told off his counterparts, final five can't be w/the humans. Dissention is brewing.
The cylons on board Galactica are curious about the fifth.
Adama put Starbuck on the floor. Have they all lost it?
Gaius it talking to himself, more lunacy.
That talk at 23:53 w/Adama & Roslin...ouch.
Attention to orders for Lee Adama's departure, a rare gift. Did he & Dualla split up?
Centurians got a brain, then slaughtered a room of skinners. Rebellion at it's best.
Starbuck got a reprieve, should be interesting to see where to.

I'm dying here.. omg! Gaius talking to himself.. LOL! dude has gone completely over the edge... and thank you very much sci-fi for a sex scene I could have lived without...ewwwwwwww!( why don't we have a puky smily?) Adama and Roslin.. they pulled no punches huh? I almost cried when Lee got saluted. Yeah, guess he and Dualla are no more, good thing too after the way he said goodbye to Starbuck Can't believe Adama gave Starbuck a ship... I didn't think he was going to help her, it was a good surprise.

Maybe the Cylons will be so busy stabbing each other in the back to notice Starbuck making a get away. The previews for next week are awesome. Poor Callie! and thanks again for the links..

Man, Eick and co. sure have a knack for making me say, " I can't wait for next week!!!"

Cylons split down the middle, more or less...never did like Cavil much, now he's really got me ticked!
One of my fav characters...freeze-dried! NoooooooooooOOOO!!! Can't wait to see what the chief does when he finds out it was Tori that did it...

C'mon, Friday!

I.....am......STUNNED!! Callie!! OMG!... truely, I'm just completely stunned.. never saw that one coming. Callie is dead, we still don't know the fifth. LOL... think how FUBAR'd Tori will be if it turns out that Callie is the fifth. *snort*

4x03 - The Ties That Bind - Recap

Cavil & cylon boomer kiss ----> ick.
Tory was touching chief at Joe's Bar, whose having troubles with Callie.
Lee is Caprica Quorum Rep.
Demetrius issue has surfaced, Geda, Boomer, Helo, Anders are all on the crew, interesting.
D'Anna unboxed for the greater unity?
Yikes, that convo after the lovin' with Anders & Starbuck sure had a cylonish tone.
Executive order 112 discussion at the quorum, was a bit of fencing. Whom did it benefit, the VP, Lee or the Pres.?
After the cylon attack on cylons: We're machines dear, remember? We don't have souls.
Callie found the note meant for the chief: weapons locker 1701D 1330 hours. She heard Tigh say the chief is a cylon & they heard her drop the thingamabob. Tory saw the cover off. Dayyym, Callie mashed the chiefs skull. Tory got Nicky & launched Callie out...woah.

Yes, what a crazy episode, I couldn't agree more.

take a peek at this...

http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/

Upper right hand corner- click explore the photo. You can move around the pic... click on each person. You see any clues or inuendos? Did you notice who is not in the photo? I've heard some talk about the similarity to "The Last Supper' and that it was by no coincedence that they made it that way. hmmmmm... thoughts anyone?

btw... this show is frakkin' awesome. Anybody want to place their final bets on who the fifth is? I've picked mine.

Why yes, I've seen that pic before. Here near the middle of the article dated 4-10-08. I hadn't given much consideration to whom is missing though.

Double-darn, you have me all twisted up now & I won't be able to sleep until I fully grok it, sighs discontentedly. Thanks, thanks por nubbin.

teehee.. if I can't sleep, neither should you.. LOL! That pic is going to make me nuts, I swear. First off, why is Chief holding a knife? Why is the book "closed" in front of Starbuck and Sam? Symbolic perhaps? Why is there an empty space with a chalice in front of it, and why is Lee looking at it? Why is Tighe looking at Lee so intently? Where is Tori? Athena and Helo are each looking at different versions of Six, and neither look happy. Book is open in front of them. the Prez and Adama are the furthest apart, again, symbolic? and Baltar has that "what's going on?" look.... the full and half full glasses of water??? Natalie pointing at Six like it's all her fault....

I'm losing my widdle mind..

Did you see the preview clip this past weekend that had someone saying that all the final five were in the fleet? If only 4 showed up on the Galactica, then the last one has to be on another ship...perhaps where the Quorum is?

I was thinking as to why the show does not focus now more on Chief Tyrol's baby. Since he is a cylon and had the baby with Cally, doesn't that make their baby a half-breed like Helo and Sharon's baby? Maybe thay have not got around to it, but I surely hope they do.

4x04 - Escape Velocity - Recap

Interesting episode title considering the last show.
The scene in the Chiefs quarters at the beginning, Col.Tigh had on Admiral insignia (continuity error).
Col.Tigh is loosing it, seeing his dead wife in the face of six & talking to her daily etc.
Chief is loosin' it too, jacked up that raptor pretty good he did.
Baltar crashed the temple, interesting.
23:06 Tighs Admirals insignia gone, Colonels insignia is back(continuity error).
Interesting convo with Pres.Roslin & Baltar in jail. Have a quiet life. Translation, chill out or I'll have DeathDealer pay you a visit, grin.
Specialist Tyrol now, dude's gone from bad to worse in short order.
Ass whoopin's being handed around for Baltar & Tigh, ahhh the clarity, grin.
Oh hell no, was that six sucking face with Tigh? WTFrak?!!
The cult of gaius, love thyself, we are perfect just as we are, he said with a bloody maniacal grimace.

Love the recaps DeathDealer!

That one was a bit strange. Chief is going to totally lose his mind in short order... guilt does strange things to ya. All this "God" stuff with Baltar is bizarre. He's really buying into his own worthiness. Gaius... clue... get over yourself. And yeah, it was Six and Tighe... *gag* Where the frak is that going??? As near as I could tell, this epi was a "laying the groundwork" one. This week's previews look good. Mutiny on the garbage ship... I love a good mutiny.

That bit about the mutiny is funny debloree. Might it have something to do with the purpose and/or cargo of the ship? I suppose garbage could do that to just about anyone, except maybe Oscar the grouch.

great... now I'll hear the Seasame Steet theme in my head at work all day! thanks.. so what would the punishment for mutiny be? garbage detail? LOL!

4x05 - The Road Less Travelled - Recap

Starbuck goes cookoo while on patrol, then they find a cylon raider & Leoben speaks to her about a truce & a chance for a completion of the journey, he tells her she needs to talk with the hybrid, spooky.
The Chief is all twisted up about the loss of Callie & Tory isn't helping.
Leoben proposes an alliance to Anders, help Leoben's bunch against the Bad cylons & the hyrbid will lead them to earth.
Cylon ship on Demitrius went boom.
Chief nearly snapped Baltars neck, then nearly did himself in.
The Demitrius crew thinks Starbuck is a cylon & Anders is twitching about it, while Helo brings the smack down.
Baltar has some nerve barging into Chiefs quarters & they actually made up, will wonders never cease.
Starbuck is relieved of command, mutiny on the Demitrius...to be continued...ahhh (Deathly scream).


Sweet debloree foreshadow.
