Battlestar Galactica (a thread for fans :)

[Barbara Moulton]

For those of us who do watch this show...any comments on Season 4 so far?

I found the episode where the civil war began among the Cylons fascinating. Cylons had rebelled against their human masters yet had begun to treat their raiders and centurions in the same way they had been treated by the humans.

Reminded me a bit of Animal Farm. But now I am a little frustrated because there have been two episodes with nary an update on what's happening with the war.

I have also found the metamorphosis of Gaius into a cult leader to be a fascinating revelation of how people can be led into following anyone who brings them hope, when they are facing desperate situations.

And the death of Cally (spelling) absolutely floored me.

I am a fan. I have enjoyed the "what if" notion of the series. Unfortunately only two seasons were screened here and then for some reason it never returned. Now that I know that there is a third and fourth I will have to go and see if I can get it somewhere.

I just finished watching Season 3 last night.

I have noted with interest the messiah characteristics of Baltar, even including the long hair and the beard. No other man in the cast of characters looks or talks like Baltar.

So Cally gets killed...I'm not surprised. Her character is basically an extension of the scenery.

Yes...but how she dies is pretty surprising.

Barbara,

I've just finished season three and the first two episodes of season 4. I am watching number 3 and 4 tonight and then I'll weigh in. But I did find the civil war element to be a neat spin. This has all happened before...oh wait...that's someone else

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!!

Waiting patiently here bro :)

Oh yeah, one more thing. Helter Skelter as the Cylon call to know yourself? The Clyon God must be John Lennon

Do you mean All Along the Watchtower (http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/watchtower.html) by Dylan?

Was one of the most surprising elements of the plot...and super cool. :basic07

[Barry Clarke]

Dylan, yeah, yeah, that's it. Ooops. What can I say? That's what I meant. :) I knew it all along :)

I didn't recognize the song (first heard in season 3), but it's nice to know what it is.

[Barbara Moulton]

Wow...tonight's episode was "edge of the seat".

And it says that NEXT week..."All Will be Revealed".

[Barry Clarke]

It was pretty intense. This is the first episode I've watched live so it is kind of hard to think about waiting a week.

I know. Same here.

By the way, I really don't like Starbuck :)

[David Parker]

Wow...Col. Tigh is running for president...

A very amusing 8 minute summary of the series to this point. The narrative is hilarious, but does a good job of summarizing the events.

Can't wait for the final 10 episodes. :)

I'm looking forward to how they wrap up all of the storylines. This half-season was pretty good.

I agree. There are so many "unknowns" hanging out there aren't there?
