Battlestar Galactica Season 3


Recommended Posts

I find it strange no one has talked about it lately.

Season 3 starts today :D

I don't think these first episodes will be action packed, but they sure have a lot of tension

Here are 2 nice links for news, synopsis and chats about BSG.

I have NEVER heard of Battlestar Galactica until I heard that Lucy Lawless was going to appear on some episodes. LOL!

I'll keep an eye out for Lucy! :hug: :wub:

OMG surely you are joking.

Looking forward to this, the webisode's where great, short but great.

I've been anxiously awaiting season 3 ever since season 2 ended....the webisodes on the Sci Fi website have helped to show what daily life is like under the Cylon occupation.

There's an interview posted at the site where several of the actors say the first 4 hours of season 3 are some of the best episodes ever shot...so my expectations are set pretty high for tonight's show. I just wish I could get SciFi in high definition.

Season 3 is going to rock. And just miffed that Im going to miss the premiere and the rerun this weekend. *sigh* Guess I'll have to download it.

too bad I won't be home tonight...crap I guess i'll have to download it.

Yes..yes...must download it from Itunes ASAP. :shifty:

I really enjoyed both episodes. :woot:

I've been watching BSG on and off for some time and I still don't understand the cylons' motivation. Does anyone know?

They're driven by a religeous ideology. The occupation was part of the plan to gap the divide between them and the humans

The first 2 episode was great, can't wait for next week.

I think the Cylons believe they're closer to God than the humans are.

The end of the 2nd episode put me on the edge of my seat. The preview of the 3rd episode put me at ease. So far Battlestar Galactica has been great.

Spoiler time! :D --->

Judging from the preview for upcoming episodes, it looks as if the Cylons are headed for Earth, to make it their new home. And the humans have a plan to wipe out the Cylon "race".

I just got time today to watch it and WOW. W-O-W. For a moment I thought I was watching something comming from Iraq. In this case, the american ocupation forces = cylons. The Human resistance = the iraqi ppl. The ppl fight for their freedom with the only weapons they have. Even more the cylons has a human squad to control the humans. The fiction so close to the reality.

This confirm why this series is by far the first 21st century series (at least to me). I cant wait to this week!

to be honest I was thinking about the Iraq vs US thing too.

I continue to be disappointed in this show. The first season was good but its been all downhill from there. I gave it another chance and that will be it for me. The rough 'Insurgency' talk was a bit annoying as well and just wasn't good sci-fi IMO. (N)

I normally try not to argue opinions, since obviously it's very hard to pursuade people from their own opinions. But I think you are (literally) the first person I've ever seen say they are disappointed in the show. Frankly, I think BSG is the best show on TV in YEARS. The writing and acting are superb and each week they take on new parallels with current events in our lives, and really put them into perspective for me (and I assume alot of others) and give you alot to think on.

But really, it's all opinions in the end.

I do like parts of the show, just not the soap opera aspect of it. The original mini-series was great and so was much of the first season. Overall my biggest gripe is the mysticism and lack of good science fiction. They don't experiment with new ways of handling a problem, if anything they are more regressive in many aspects than we even are today. Its like the dark ages in space with two religions fighting each other.

to be honest I was thinking about the Iraq vs US thing too.

I was thinking something similar as well.

It could be just complete coincidence, but I can see a lot of parallels between the Cylons and Humans and Western/eastern views today.

And I'm pretty sure that the Cylons are meant to represent us (the western world, possibly mainly America) from a different viewpoint. Especially when they constantly mention about bringing their ONE God "to the people". Then the occupation of New Caprica would almost certainly be a reference to the occupation of Iraq.

The suicide bombings by the humans make it almost obvious that this is in some way meant to make you think about the Iraqi people's point of view on things

.

Then when you look at how much the Humans in BSG hate the Cylons, how they're so willing to completely mistreat them, throw them out of airlocks etc. and compare that to some Iraqi rebels capturing someone and cutting their head off and it really, really really does seem like a very clever reference to our world today.

What does anyone else think?

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
    • I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
