i saw he whole screwing up thing as confirmation that it was just a mistake, and not some subconscious cylon plan, like boomer shooting adama. but the melt down was definately fun....i was expecting adama to have the guards escort him to his room or something to kool off, but he just friggin demoted his. thats both sad and awesome at the same time.
Yea, I saw the screwup as an honest mistake...but he was being way too hard on himself. Its not like Adama knows everything hes going through...but that was still kinda rough of him to demote him like that.
so....leobin's with the demetrius now, the chief is likely going to start following baltar, and starbuck's been relieved of command with a mutiny.
I don't know how I'm feeling about that chief lately...his character is changing a lot (I like it, but..); much like Tory and Tigh are (even though he is loathe to admit it). Speaking of Tigh...i wonder exactly how he was made, if he's supposed to be like 71, but the cylons were created about 40 years ago. (it seems that he has aged, since they've shown him in his younger days) I could understand the creation of the other 3, as they seem to be in their 30s, but Tigh is much older than them; and even older than Cavill (the perverted cylon). I just find that a bit odd.
The final 5 seem to pre-date the other 7, that is the impression I always got as well. From the previous incarnation of the story line perhaps...
Are you referring to the Original series?
I don't think I am but it is possible. While I didn't watch the original much at all I don't recall them having human looking Cylons? Perhaps the first series is supposed to be the start of this all and the final five were created then?
I'm not sure really, but my theory is just that these five are from the last go through of this play, they talk constantly about how all this has happened before and will happen again, I choose to believe for their universe this is truth.
To clarify, I think that the final five predate the Cylon war at least; Tigh should have been heavily involved and I don't find it reasonable that they replaced him.
What do you think?
This is why I like this series so much, so many interesting questions.
the first series was not the time period for the creation of the final five
the story of the first series was basically the same as this one "a fleet lead by a man named Adama captaining a battleship named Galactica looks for Earth"
this series just made everything better, the old series was bad, and i mean bad, terrible writing, terrible stories, terrible acting
As far as predating the other 7, I agree, they do seem to do that. I'm thinking more that they might be "more human" than the other 7. I'm still not sure if they have other models to resurrect to.
Why not? I'll admit my knowledge here is minimal but Starbuck being a girl rather than a guy is to indicate that we are in a different time line. Did they have human Cylons? If not I think it is an interesting idea at least. =)
I'd bet the final five can not resurrect.
im pretty sure it was stated at some point that this series was a remake of the original...i dont think they've got some parallel timeline going here.
I agree with the final 5 predating the other 7....im under the impression that they were the first 5 human looking cylons created, but were too human and too different from their machine brethren, so the next 7 models were manufactured differently, and programmed to never think about the final 5. The hybrid is also very interesting, since alot of the jibberish it spouts has to do with god and destiny and such. I wonder at what point the hybrid was created, between the 5 and the 7, or after the 7.
Also, how does starbuck fit into all of this, with her visions of that swirly thing since she was a baby...it would all make sense if she was a cylon and those were pre-programmed memories or something, but i dont think the writers will make her a cylon.
ps: i think after the season 3 finale the "omgwtfbbq" surprise factor is gone....i can't think of any revelation for the final cylon that will make me go "holy shit, i didn't see that comming" like with the reveal of the 4.
Sorry time line was a bad phrase to use, I mean rather that they are not in the same time period as the original, but rather they are at some later point in time. (earlier is a possibility but not one that I think is right)Originally Posted by Assassin
My impression that making Starbuck female was to distinguish this from the first series, I could be wrong and I would probably be disappointed but whatever.
Ya, I really doubt she will be a Cylon.Also, how does starbuck fit into all of this, with her visions of that swirly thing since she was a baby...it would all make sense if she was a cylon and those were pre-programmed memories or something, but i dont think the writers will make her a cylon.
I don't have any ideas that I consider good enough to talk about concerning why she has had those visions.
Ya, I doubt anyone thinks the revelation of the 5th will be as surprising as the last season's finale.ps: i think after the season 3 finale the "omgwtfbbq" surprise factor is gone....i can't think of any revelation for the final cylon that will make me go "holy shit, i didn't see that comming" like with the reveal of the 4.
Interesting thing about visions...There are some theories being tossed around on other fourms about there being another player (other than the humans and cylons), and that this 3rd party may be responsible for all these visions and such. For example, we have Rosalin, who has phophetic visions, Baltar and 6, who see visions of each other (and we recently found out that head 6 is real!), and Kara who has visions about how to get to Earth. It would be something if a 3rd party is revealed that's capable of such manipulation.Ya, I really doubt she will be a Cylon.

when did we find out she was real?
About 2 episodes ago, when Baltar was being beat by the cops. He didn't stand up on his own; Head 6 kept lifting him up. If you have it, watch it again...the way he got up was physically impossible to do unless he was being lifted like the 6 was doing.
oh ya, i remember that...that was pretty weird.
so do you think then, the 6 that appeared back in like season 1 (for 1 ep) and framed baltar, and then disappeared was really head 6? Cuz head 6 says she'll prove something to him, and walks out as they're doing it, and thats when the 'real world' 6 appears as some scientist.
That's a possibility, but the thing is, is that 6 really a 6, or something else?
Cylon 6 Got ThermoOptical Camouflage ?
The Heeeeelllll ?
Nothing like that...the same thing would apply to Head Baltar also.

First you have Battlestar Galactica the Miniseries (2003)
Then you have Seasons 1 and 2 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407362/episodes
Battlestar Galactica:Razor seems to fall between season 2 and 3 in the time line but it was shown to us after season 3. It is a movie (not standalone at all though)
After Razor you watch up to the current episode in season 4.
Everything pre-2003 was the old series which is the same idea but you do not need to watch that one to understand this one at all. Also it is pretty painful to watch.
Edit: Oops ya, the webisodes are redundant.
