Good good, I hate having to read posts with my eyes half closed! Can't wait till S4.

[ML]

Isn't season 4 airing today across the pond?

[barty911]

Razor aired last night, I think the season begins on the 11th or the 14th.

[ML]

Gyarrr! I want to start talking about this already!! :( *sigh* Oh well...

[barty911]

Do you think theyll catch on if we start talking in Morse Code?

Beep, Beep, Beeeeeeeep, Beep?

[ML]

Yes...

[apollo]

A few more days...tuesday is when it premieres. I thought it was last tuesday, but that was just a repeat of razor as barty said.

[ML]

*sigh*

[myrmedon]

*talking about episode 3 aired on the 11th*

WOW, the way six said her line to cavil, and the first thing that happened afterwards had me going :grin:, the second thing had me jumping up and down with joy.

I also thought the other thing with Apollo was moving. before that though, anyone catch that triad game with racetrak :grin:

Am i being vague enough for those across the pond?

Cannot wait to see how the thing with the one fleet turns out next week eh?

Myrmedon

[ML]

Episode 3? :?

Anyway, my fraking parents cancelled the recording of next aired episode of BSG season 4!! I am soooooo fraking pissed!!! :furious:

[apollo]

I hate when parents touch my sky+ (like tivo), they've done that to me before too. Gutted for you ML.

[barty911]

I think he means episode 2

And yeah, what Six did was badass. Stupid Cavil.

[ML]

Lalala! Don't want to heart anything, barty911!!

[apollo]

Please use spoiler tags in this thread since we're not all on the same episode ;) - [spoiler] [ /spoiler] (without the space between [and /)

[barty911]

Right, sorry.

[apollo]

It's no problem mate.

[apollo]

WOOOOOOOOOW! AWESOME!!!!!

Yeah 6 was badass!!!! Can't wait to see what happens with that story line! I LOVE this show.

[barty911]

Something I noticed when I was re-watchin the mini series. In S4Ep1, the Cylon Raider scans Sam, and does not attack him. The only reason that the Cylon got away was because Sam didnt shoot him. Now in the mini series a similar thing happens to Starbuck, the first time she encounters a Raider; it scans her and doesnt attack... Just a funny little thing ive noticed, only really sticks out because of the big question if shes a toaster or not

Ah that's true! But...

I think it scans her in the mini series to transmit the virus, and doesn't shoot because it thinks that will be enough.

[ML]

Did you guys see the missiles turrets on the Basestar when it shot all those fraking missiles?! :shock: Or was it just me?

[apollo]

Yeah, that was new!

[SoloX]

just sean ep's 1 and 2 of season 4 its soooo frakking good!!! but i was just rewatching the last few of season 3 and

just after the revealed 4 of the final 5 realise who they are when the cylons attack, we see apollo going somewhere, away from the fight, but he suddenly changes his mind, very un-apollo as you would expect him to be first out to battle, perhapse he was also being called to..... oh and the thing with almost all of the cylon models being in some way suseptable to gias baltar when the meet him (3, 6 and now laurie(presidents aid)) because apollo did save gias bigtime....
and im pretty sure starbuck isnt a cylon.. dunno.... oh and why didnt she mention anything abbout the 13th tribe, she says she flew into earths atmosphear, surly she would have seen something...

[ML]

Apollo didn't suit up right away because he turned in his wings, remember? He just decided to go out because the entire fleet was still powering back up and they neede all the help they could get. I highly doubt he's the final cylon. It wouldn't be significant enough.
So far we have:
the Chief, head of the flight deck
whatshisface, former leader of resistance
Saul Tye, XO of Galactica
Secretary of President, whatshername
Number six infiltrated the defence mainframe through Baltar
The others were also strategically placed as well:
Ragnar Anchorage
Galactica
Preacher within the fleet

So yah... :)

I mean it would be significant, but there are others more important. Admiral Adama or Roslin for example. ;)

[myrmedon]

cally noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I hope that born again cylon gets what she deserves... grrrrrrrr

[ML]

That made me so fraking mad! Why didn't she just go to Adama or something?! AAARRRGGG!

Anyway, so Roslin's secretary seems to be adjusting well... :lol:

[apollo]

Hahah yeah, nice hammer action Tom :) Ooooh I want to slap Lee - I hope he goes back to being a viper jock.

Tory definitely seems like a bad cylon, or maybe she's just an empowered woman and wants the chief ;) .

I wonder if the rest will be bad.

[ML]

Tigh will probably kill himself from the confusion and depression from killing his own wife and end up on a base ship.

I willing to assume the others will follow suit in killing themselves to join the others...

[Viper047]

do i understand right, boomer and athena were the last 8 after the attack of the baseships? will see what a bad cylon tory foster get, after she killed tyrols wife

[ML]

You talking about the most recent episode where the cylons are fighting each other? :?

[ML]

This is from the most resent episode of BSG season 4.
What are you guys thoughts on what the hybrid said to Kara?


Thus will it come to pass.
A dying leader will know the truth of the opera house.
The missing three will give you the five who have come from the house of the 13th.
You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace and you will lead them all to their end.

Okay, the show gave us a prediction as to what this means. That Number 3 (Diana), who knows the faces of the final five cylons, will point them out.
In which the final five cylons could be from the 13th colony, Earth. Thus them knowing the way to Earth.

Are the 13th tribe's inhabitants really cylons? Holy frack that would be wierd!

Also, who exactly is Kara Thrace the harbinger of death of? Who are them? Humanity? The Cylons?

I think this was really interesting so lets discuss this. Please post in "spoiler" tags for those who don't want to join in until they've watched it. :)

[ML]

You modelers will probably go bonkers over the new
cylon reserrection hub
from the most recent BSG episode! Did anyone else see it?

[Snowship]

Interesting to see

Both sides well laid plans (of screwing eachothers deal) turn to crap..
Wonder where the Hybrid jumped to :shock:. And what'll happen when the Rebels find out about 6
I'm starting to think Kara's "Harbringer" is more to do with the Cylons than the humans.
I'm also thinking the final cylon is the one who knows earth, cause Tye and the rest obviously don't

[apollo]

A new ship!? Can't wait!! Come on tuesday.....

[ML]

A new ship!? Can't wait!! Come on tuesday.....

Yah, it's huge! Larger than a baseship me thinks...

I'm starting to think Kara's "Harbringer" is more to do with the Cylons than the humans.

Nah, I bet Earth is probably like stored in their memory somewhere and they just don't know it.
I'm also willing to bet that Tye, Roslin's secretary, Sam, and the Chief are like some kind Earth cyborg type models or something and they left Earth and happened to find their cylon "brothers." Or something along those lines...

[Snowship]

I hope not, I see that being lazy writing.

[ML]

Yah, you're right, snowship. With the quality writing that BSG has gone through, I'm sure the finally will be pretty satisfying.

[ML]

Holy frack! Did anybody else see this weeks episode? Thefinal cylon model could very well be Roslin!! :shock::shock::shock:

[Snowship]

That wouldn't be exactly shocking.

Still, cant wait to see the Cylon side of the story

And poor old Tye

He either forgets easily or a case of imaculate conception there :lol:
But he gets to run the show now :shock:

[ML]

Yah, pretty interesting twists this week... :)

[Elffin]

here's a nice short preview....

http://galacticasitrep.blogspot.com/2008/06/canadian-promo-for-hub.html

[Snowship]

Nice action and curve-balls there in this episode.


Good to see Roslyn did let Boltar die, tempting as it would have been for her.
And nice comment there from Diana about Roslyn being one of the five... She can screw with alot of people now. Including us viewers :lol:

Is it just me or does the rest of the 8's seem very nieve? Wish they'd grow some backbones.

[ML]

The 8's are the boomer's, right?

Can't wait for next episode!!! The previews gave me goosebumps!! :shock:

[ML]

Man, when's the galactica gonna get some action? :(

If their saving it for the end, it'd better be good!

[apollo]

That was frickin awesome! One of my fav episodes ever! Are Roslin and Adama not just the sweetest thing ever? And yeah D'anna's comment about roslin being a cylon was so well timed! Funny cat.

[ML]

Yah, that was pretty great. And almost a smile from Roslin to a cylon... :shock:

[Snowship]

The 8's are the boomer's, right?


Correct!

[ML]

:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:
Oh my fracking gods!!!
That was such an awesome episode!! I know I say this every Friday but I cannot wait for next week!!!
I just wish you guys across the pond have seen already too. By a long margin, the best episode yet in the entire series!!!
:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:

[Snowship]

ML; no next week, it's now a 8 month wait til the remaining episodes (11-onwards)

[ML]

crap... :(

[Snowship]

My thoughts on Ep10


It was realistic to have had the inhabitents of "earth" blow themselves to hell. And in keeping with the darkness of the series. But twas still a bummer.

Although;
I noticed they didn't show a clear picture of the planet from space, and no continents were visible. So this planet might not actually be Earth.
I'd have liked to have seen the place and been able to say: That's the Americas, That's Europe or Africa. But we never got a clear picture :(

Cause they've got roughly 10 episodes to go, and I can't see them all about adjusting to the new situation

[ML]

Yah, I'd have to agree, Snowship. It would have been cool to see some life on Earth. Who knows, they may still find some.

Even though they didn't clearly show Earth, I still believe their on Earth. Did you not see the cross on one of the pieces of buildings?

Maybe it could be a colony of Earth...

[Elffin]

Well I'm intending to get Sky back on line this summer... any suggestions of reruns for S4... let me know guys...

Any pics of the planet?

[apollo]

Hey Elffin. If you get sky back they have a Sky Player, you can download it for free from their website. I saw an advert which mentioned they had episodes of season 4 on it, not sure how long they'll stay there for though.

I'll see if I can pull up anything. ;)

[Viper047]

Any pics of the planet?

have a look into your pm's

[Elffin]

Thanks Viper.. Someone mentioned that the Cylon freighters were visible in this episode - did see some freighter type craft in one of the pics.. but they do look different to ones that appeared in S1.. interesting pics tho... ;)

[ML]

Can I see them, Viper047? Or Elffin?

[D!S7RUG@7OR]

It seems that the national television TVR1 decided to broadcast Battlestar Galactica in Romania....:grin::grin: YAY!!!!



Cya :jump:

[ML]

Me having season 4 withdrawls. :(
