Battlestar Galactica Season 3

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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?

Would be great if they find the earth and this one is completally destroyed (by ecological disaster, by cylons, etc, just name it)

[Arbiter]

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.

[Budious]

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.

Friday's episode was messed up. :|

Ohhh believe in me, believe!

[Kushan]

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

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

[Kushan]

Haha, yeah, I noticed that too :geeky:

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.

[uniacidz]

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.

[Beastage]

gotta love that Dr Baltar... now he got 2 cyclon chicks :D

[cbosdell]

i bet that

Three is the cylon model that is permanently boxed this season

[Kushan]

I have to say, when Bulldog punched that three in the face, I burst out laughing. I am going straight to hell.

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.

[thefonz]

Apparently the story isnt based on "real life events" either...

I'm disappointed and it has TOTALLY ruined my take on the show!

[Pox]

This show still exists!? I saw the original miniseries, seemed ok.. might have to check it out.

[uniacidz]

Good episode

Still my favourite right now.

You have no idea. It just keeps getting better and better!
