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?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays.

SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
