I love Battlestar Galactica

[Poor Richard Lex]

just saying. What a show, much better than the original.

[Skink]

1. Was Kurt Russell in that?

I can't remember.

[Poor Richard Lex]

2. dont think so, but the guy from Gunsmoke was

or was it Bonanza - the guy who did the alpo commercials.

The sci-fi channels re-adaptation of it is just great, awesome characters.

[crispini]

3. Tonight's ep

was one of the best yet. Primo suspense! :thumbsup:

[Poor Richard Lex]

4. next week looks good too

is Boomer really a cylon? she is such a hottie.

[Huckebein the Raven]

5. That's what I want to know

We know that there's at least one Cylon copy of her.

[crispini]

9. I bet she's a Cylon

the way she seemed to "understand" that Cylon ship.

[Cannikin]

21. yeah, I think the chief really picked up on that too.

[Swede]

6. The folks making this show are reallly giving it their best.

One of best shows on the tube.

[Ilsa]

7. Totally excellent tonight!

Is the scientist a cylon also? I keep thinking he's a mentally ill cylon.

And our hero, caught on to her lickety-split when she came on to him. I love that.

This episode is repeated when, Tuesday? Monday?

[crispini]

8. On again at midnight where I am..

Edit: I think he's "infected" somehow -- but I missed the miniseries, did they give us more of the backstory in it?

[CatholicEdHead]

10. Backstory

He did have sex with Number 6 before the invasion. Then he was shown with Number 6 as the shock wave blasted through his house (as is shown in opening credits). During the sex Number 6's spine glowed.

Later he is shown in the crowd going towards Boomer's damagaed ship.

There is no clear explination how he can get from a destroyed nuked house and the landing zone who knows how far away.

[crispini]

12. Interesting. So he *might* be a cylon.....

Thanks for updating me!

[CatholicEdHead]

13. Yes he could

so far they have only identified 5 or 6 models out of the 12.

[Poor Richard Lex]

11. the hot blonde cylon used him to compromise the

defense computer systems to attack the planets. She planted a chip in his head while he slept and he hallucinates about her.

she is a victoria secret model, btw. Starbuck is a a great character too.

[crispini]

14. So did he really do the sabotage,

or was that really a fake?

[CatholicEdHead]

16. He sure could have at the defense mainframe

Boomer is clearly a cylon and she has no memory of some of her actions (planting bombs at the water tanks, leaving that door open for the sucide bomber, etc...)

[Cannikin]

15. The mini/pilot episode is available on DVD.

Awesome sound. Ok picture.

No, he didnt do the sabotage,he had no idea the defense computers had been hacked until it was too late. His involvement was letting HER into the computers unauthorized.
By the time he found out about it, the attack had begun.

[crispini]

18. ooooo,

off to Netflix! :hi: thanks!

[EstimatedProphet]

17. It really does rock

Tonight's show was suspenseful. right to the end.

[yvr girl]

19. Better than the original - can't be

I had the total hots for Starbuck.

[Cannikin]

20. She is awesome. Couldnt have picked anyone better. IMHO

[yvr girl]

25. I'm talking about the original Starbuck

[Ilsa]

26. I lost the hots for Starbuck when I found out what a pig the actor

is/was about women. Besides, like Star Wars, they didn't have any women flying the aircraft is so bogus.

[crispini]

22. Hum, this is interesting

apparently Netflix has a "spot" saved for the DVD of this series but they seem to have gotten it wrong in their blurb?

Battlestar Galactica: Season 1 (2005)

This 2003 series, based on the original TV series from 1978-80, was broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel and instantly won a legion of admiring fans. Join Adama (Edward James Olmos) and Laura (Mary McDonnell) as they lead a ragtag fleet of human survivors (from the destroyed colonies of Kobol) in search of a mythical planet called Earth. But beware, the robot race of Cylons is in hot pursuit … and it seems nothing will stop them!

23. where you looking for the Miniseries?

[crispini]

24. yeah, thanks, I found it

I just thought it was funny that not only do they already have a spot for it (the series), they got the year wrong.
