Battlestar Galactica Season 3


Recommended Posts

I think the writers are trying to hit that parallel between their universe and what's actually going on in reality, to bring us closer to the characters and the situations in the show. It's a good tactic on their part and it's also VERY entertaining. These two episodes were the best yet, and I can't wait for more.

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.

you're obviously missing then what makes the show great..its not just techno babel (a la SG1 & Star Trek,) but it has also a great story and good acting that's relevant to todays news.

I agree... I'm finally glad there is a Sci-Fi genre that keeps stuff low tech, projectile weapons and no shields... and the character story lines and plot development remind me a lot of 24...

Science Fiction is normally about the "Human Condition" or showing Humans in an alien enviroment and seeing how they cope with it, and if they can continue to be "Human" etc etc. There are many classical definition of what Sci Fi really is, but I think BSG embodies SciFi perfectly, as does Stargate as well. I mean it takes current level technology and Humans and puts it up against superior alien technology and makes it LOOK real still. That's the key I think to BSG as well, they make things realisitc to the point that you really think that that could actually occur right now. Though obviously we don't have FTL or Hyperspace technology....yet.

I was just thinking that as I read through the threads. SciFi is all about being human, and BSG is all about that, but with a fantastical edge. It isn't hardcore scifi by any stretch, but the situations and humanness of the characters is refreshing when compared with "solve the problem in 40 minutes" shows. I just hope they don't try to make it a perpetual show, and milk it past its prime. Let it have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Do anyone else hope the occupation and living on New Caprica are a dream sequence or some sort of alternate reality? The episodes are good, but I feel like I'm watching a different show.

President Rosland...PLEASE WAKE UP and realize you have to steal the election!!!!!!

Its done on purpose, the science reason for it being the harsh atmosphere on New Caprica

The writers intend that the viewers will see it as an unrealistic enviroment/situation

Just to let you guys know, the 3rd season premiere of BSG pulled a 1.8 final rating, with 2.2 million viewers. Of course Sci-Fi will spin it all good and crap, that it's up like 7 percent here, and 4 percent there. And they increased viewership for October by like 93 percent from last year at this time, blah blah blah.

The 2nd season premiere did a 2.7 (or 2.8 I don't remember) and 3.4 million viewers last year. That's a huge drop. Sorry to say but the 8 month wait might have had something to do with it. Plus I truly think alot of SG-1 fans are actually not watching BSG to still protest them cancelling SG-1 like that. But who knows. If the ratings don't improve we could be talking about another favorite series of ours being canned.

I thought BSG was moving to another network anyway?

But I have to wonder, is there another factor here for the dip in ratings for BSG AND Stargate? I wouldn't know as I don't live in America, but is there actually something else that's pulling so many Sci-fi viewers away at the moment? Another show perhaps? Or something that's changed with Sci-fi's service?

It MAY be moving to another network, it's only a rumor not confirmed yet. And yes there are plenty of factors. One being the show was off for 8 freaking months! Plus there's alot of other shows on Friday nights now to compete with it. And I truly think Stargate fans are ****ed they canned SG1 still.

All I know is it's a good show but it has crappy air times. Up here in Canada I went to watch the season premier last Friday but it wasn't on Space ... I was thinking, wtf? I checked the listings, sure enough, wasn't even on there. It said it was on Saturday night but I either missed it or it wasn't on. :| I ended up going to a friends with a satellite dish to watch it.

BSG isn't moving to another network. Wasn't that rumor debunked days ago or did everyone here not get that message?

Galactica Rumors SQUASHED

SCI FI Channel and its parent network, NBC, put to rest fan rumors that SCI FI's original series Battlestar Galactica will make the move to NBC. "There is no truth to this rumor," a SCI FI spokesperson told SCI FI Wire.

The rumor has appeared on fans sites such as the Battlestar Galactica Site and been picked up by other entertainment news sites. "Word has begun to circulate that NBC's acquisition of Battlestar Galactica is in the 'waiting-for-the-ink-to-dry' phase at this moment, and an official announcement could be days away," the Battlestar Galactica Site said.

Battlestar Galactica returned for its third season on SCI FI on Oct. 6 and airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. It was the number-one cable show in its timeslot for the night.

No comments on last nights episode?

Another awesome one, that scene with Adama and Apollo had me in tears. Such great acting there. And I assume next week is the big final push to rescue everyone on New Caprica.

Wonder what Boomer-Galactica is gonna do when she finds out the truth about her baby, gonna betray Humanity, or forgive them. Or worse....

I'm going to watch in 30 minutes.

I knew she was going to find out when she was selected to go down to the planet. My only gripe this season thus far is the Starbuck storyline. Its been four months and she has only killed her new roomy five times? Last thing she said at the end of last season is, "Fight 'em until we can't." They must have really done a number on her if she's already used up all her fight. Maybe they promised to do something to Anders if she didn't cooperate.

he's been careful

she didn't have a knife to eat her plate, for example

Still, there is glass in the apartment, wood that can be shattered, etc. It is not completely destruction proof and she does have access to all of it, minus the bars which block her exit. I'm wondering if she isn't in the detention center somewhere.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
