BSG: Season 4

[XadionDarkborn]

From what I have seen about BSG I would rank it near Farscape and Stargate, but not near, even or above Bab5- bab5 to be is still way better, they had the arching plot figured out before they started...that has proven to save it in so many ways next to many of the other great epics such as BSG, Farscape etc-


Lest not forget DS9...I dunno I liked DS9 > Voyager and Enterprise and = to TNG... although 7of9 is hot and we got some side boob, Dax still trumps all ;-)

Wait back to BSG - anyone want to throw me a torrent? I am thinking I need to catch up on it all

[Malakriss]

B5 pretty much kicked ass the whole way through. DS9 only got better as it went along. Voyager's first seasons had too much OMGz Temporal Anomaly! SG-1 had it's ups and downs but for the core show (S1-8) it was above average overall. Farscape had a great storyline but poor filler episodes in between.

Of those I would have to agree with Xadion since BSG is like a combination of Stargate and Farscape, ups and downs with poor filler episodes.

I stand by my original guess that Baltar's lawyer is the Fifth of the Final Five. He's a surprise minor character that's been around as long as the other Four, and he has that conniving cylonesque feel.

[Kreugen]

Talking to a dead cat that he imagines as alive certainly brings him more in the line with the rest of the show's bat shit crazy.

[Malakriss]

I was right about Six being pregnant as well

Although the Tigh/Adama fight was obviously not what the trailers made it out to be. Plus they didn't show the cylon nuke battle either, so that makes me wonder what they're saving the CGI budget for.

[Wolfen]

So Tigh gets the cylon pregnant and then gets command of the fleet? Tell me that makes sense.

[x1hundredregrets]

At some fucking point, the people that make the teasers at Sci-fi said to themselves: "How much can we give away in the previews without it being a spoiler".



Then they went ahead and said fuck that train of thought and just gave everything away.

[Malakriss]

The preview for next week's episode is so misleading. I'm sure that D'Anna was talking to Anders rather than the president (as the clips imply) or even Baltar. This gives nothing away as she simply doesn't realize that Anders figured it out already. When learning this she probably clams up and keeps the fifth a secret to protect them.

Baltar's lawyer reminded me a lot of Frank Herbert's writing in Dune about politicians and power.

[Snugglebear]

Space Above and Beyond was a damn fine show. Expensive for its time, too. I see the black admiral guy pop up in the Sarah Silverman show as God from time to time.

[Cybsled]

That one clip from the preview for next week looked cool where D'anna snaps the neck of Cavil ;P

I was kinda pissed they killed off Natalie, though. I hope they bring her back somehow.

Definitely Anders.

Baltar will never be a Cylon. I probably posted this before, but it totally negates his arc. He dreamed of being a Cylon because it absolves him of all his sins. It's much better keeping him as a literal personification of "human weakness", all of them really. He's a drunk, a whore, a liar, a thief, etc...

I think someone above hit it on the head. The cat was the giveaway that the lawyer is the Cylon. He was holed up in his apartment, depressed and talking to a dead cat which he "projected" as being alive. The only contradiction is that he couldn't hear the music that Tigh heard in the courtroom last season. Originally I figured everyone in the courtroom when Tigh testified were humans since none reacted to the music. But maybe I need to watch the lawyers reaction again. /shrug

I don't like all the shakeups though. Just glad it's ending soon so we'll get some finality to the original plot. "They have a Plan"? I'm starting to think the robot Cylons (Centurions) have the plan. And always have.

Space Above and Beyond was a good IDEA for a show, but the writing and acting were so awful.

That's what I thought too. This really brought down that whole arc and Adama quitting as Admiral. It makes no sense whatsoever for him to give over command to Tigh. The interesting thing is the Cylons can breed between themselves now albeit a final 5 cylon and a regular model.

[Mist]

Well, a lot of his crew has gotten cylons pregnant. :P It's not like its a precedent, lol.
