Battlestar Galactica Season 3


Recommended Posts

In the episode Home, Part II, a few of Galactica's senior crew members were "on" Earth (in a manner of speaking). They look up and Starbuck notices that they are on Earth after seeing some constellations. That's when they see a familiar Nebula.

^ It was almost like a holo-projection of some sort. As soon as the cave entrance closed, the place lit up. And they found themselves in the middle of this grassy area with large stones pointing upward. There were jewels on the stones that corresponded to the constellations.

Kobol was the planet with the Tomb of Athena.

Ok, so the new one actually was pretty good with the good Dr. finally coming to terms with the possibility that he is a a cylon and then alluded to 'the five'. I still find it annoying trying to see Starbuck as we were first introduced to her as she tries to settle back into the routine. Throw her out an airlock and give her callsign to a womanizing guy that smokes a fumarello, please. I kept praying that Tigh would pull out his revolver in his drunken stupor and blast himself, maybe after taking out the President first.

I think thats my problem with the series in retrospect, I generally want everyone but Gaius and Adama to meet a horrible end. Oh, and the surgeon. He's pure gold.

Per above, aren't 'we' supposed to be the 13th colony that they are trying to find?

That would be a pretty depressing end...kind of like Planet of the Apes or something.

I'm glad Tigh and Starbuck are going to get their act together. So could that daughter be a Cylon model. Seems like having one that would be a kid would make sense. That way the woman that thought it was her daughter could have had some weird backstory of how she got her daughter.

I'm really enjoying this season, some of the best scripts are coming now that the storyline has developed so far. I think it would make perfect sense for Baltar to be a cylon, afterall six keeps telling him they are going to have a child together. Being that Sharon and Halo already have the "hybrid" baby this wouldn't make it seem like a big deal... I figure the spin must be Six and Baltar's baby will the first "pure" cyclon human model child... just my wild guess?

I missed the last episode, as I usually do. I hate the fact that its on a Friday night when people usually go out, anyhow I decided instead of downloading it the usual way ;) I was going to get it from iTunes. Well the quality was absolute crap, I can't believe Apple is not using higher quality especially since Battlestar Galactica is broadcast in HDTV.

Its not broadcast in HD. Sci-Fi does not have an HD channel.

As far as last episode. I don't think Tigh is going to get his act together. He is on a path of self-destruction. Starbuck is finally going to be the kick ass and take names pilot we are used to. She needed Adama to get in her face. I'm ready for the rest of the episode tomorrow.

correction Universal HD broadcasts Battlestar Galactica and the now canceled Firefly shows in HD :)....they are a season behind though.

Last night's episode was awesome as usual, can't wait for the next one.

I think we'll see more from that disease that only infects cylons. After all, we know that the Cylon halfbreed child is probably immune to it (like Athena is) so if it did infect the Cylons, they have a possible cure sitting right under their nose, which the humans will have to figure out at some point, which will also lead to Athena and Helo finding out eventually that their child is still alive =D

It was a great episode. But it still bugged me a little bit.

Damn sex scene. It was really messed up. The Cylon lady that only Baltar can see had sex with him while he was being tortured. Anyway, I'm glad Helo killed the Cylons before the Resurrection ship came into range. If he didn't, the disease would've spread to every Cylon in the fleet. And if that happened, the show would become boring with no Cylons to chase the Humans. They actually had "primitive" computers, lol. I saw Helo disconnect a molex power connector.

I agree, that sex scene was a bit much. I thought Baltar would make a vaccine for the cylons, but now it seems he professed his love for different cylon model. LOL Glad Athena is immune. It's really bad that helo messed with the enviromentals. Athough, the primitiveness of the circuitry is uncanny. lol.

Was a good episode.

My favourite show right now.

I really wanted the cylons to die from the disease. Regardless of which now it didnt happen, yet there is a means to kill them anyway and i reckon they should do it.

I mean, next time they get to a base ship, send a rocket with it laced with the disease, and the base ship eventually becomes disabled.

Anyway, thats my sci fi wanna be want.

If Adama has only been in command of Galactica for a year then why is there so many mentions of him strictly forbidding any advanced technology to be installed on Galactica, since by the time he got command of the ship the war was long over and the ship was getting decommissioned in a year, so surly any advanced tech it was going to get it would have had by then.

Well you just gotta go shoot the storyline all to hell... well let me attempt to cover up that little fact. Pegasus was one of the newer series battlestar class ships in the fleet, the only reason it survived the attack was all the computers onboard were offline for refit. When the cylons attacked and Cain saw how they had used a virus, she ordered all the computers to be unnetworked, alla "galactica" configuration. Make the assumption all the newer class battlestars have a redundant network of systems which can operate independently of each other as any well built ship would. Galactica is also capable of networked computer systems for increased computer times (cite episode Adama is shot, Tigh risks networking computers to calculate FTL jump to find fleet) but makes it vunerable to cylon virus (why they don't just shutdown the wireless internet i don't know...) but it would make sense if Adama had commanded the "Vylakie" (sp?) with the same premise of secure computer systems, then it may have just survived the colony attacks as well. Thus, the reason why galactica was being decommissioned was a newer class sister ship would take her place in the fleet. Also her "vintage" was important to the fact that the port side fighter bay was being transitioned into a museum and the other was left in working order as training platform. Anyways... that's my take on it and I'm sticking to it :whistle:

it was a continuity error, plain and simple. hopefully they'll dub over the 3 years ago lines with 5 years for the dvd release like they did for the timeline error in the beginning of downloaded last season.

From the Chicago Tribune:

'Battlestar Galactica' moves to Sundays

"Battlestar Galactica" will move to Sundays starting Jan. 21, Sci Fi confirmed Monday. In the Central time zone, the show will air at 9 p.m.

The new time and day will kick off the second half of "Battlestar's" critically acclaimed third season.

The second half of the season, by the way, will be preceded by the debut of a new Sci Fi series, "The Dresden Files."

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
