This is a midseason break, the writers strike messed up their schedule. It will be back... I wanna say fall 2009?
......
i have to wait a fucking year to finish the season?
3 and Baltar really stole the show this episode, but I'm not sure if Lucy Lawless used her actual accent in previous episodes or not (tell me I'm not the only one that noticed that). There was a fair amount of action, and I also thought Baltar was a goner for sure (also his scenes with the centurion and his admittance of guilt were brilliant.) Roslin's still a bitch, but it looks like the Old Man (playing it cool with his 'It's about time") might give her some of that Latino Heat soon.I'm not sure when the final season starts, but there are talks about possible BSG tv movies: http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune....attlestar.html
Well that wasn't expected on my part.
Watch 10, it's worth it.
Of Course...and Tigh and Adama were great....i.e. the way he just broke down when he found out his best friend in the world was a skinjob, and that scene between Lee and Tigh, and Tigh 's about to be airlocked. Just wow.
But who the fuck is the five ?!
He's not on BS75 ? Then where the fuck is he ? Could he be Zak, Lee's brother, coming back from the dead ?
man, what a fucking great episode. I loved the 'semi-ending' and then the final scene on earth. I wonder what that was all about. it seems earth is in a post-apocalyptic state. I guess the 13th colony had a war and the planet was destroyed, resulting in humanity leaving to form the 12 colonies. Or maybe they left a long time ago, and those who remained destroyed themselves recently. I still dont know if the BSG timeline is set in the future or in the past. Are they our descendants or our ancestors?
As for the fifth cylon, Diana said he/she wasn't in aboard the galactica/fleet....It could be zack, but it could also imply that the 5th one was on the baseship as one of the hostages. Alot of the big players were there like Roslin, Baltar, Helo etc.
I doubt we will ever know for sure where this falls in our time line given that earth is not current day or near it. I love the ambiguity of the time line in BSG.Originally Posted by Assassin
Amazing stuff.
If they bring Zak back as the 5th that would just be stupid. It needs to be someone we know.
Well, I can't read much of the thread since I'm not up-to-date, but there will be no more episodes till 2009:

The end made it look to me like the Earth had suffered a nuclear holocaust, radiation detectors and blackened soil, destroyed buildings and to be honest...I thought I saw the remains of a suspension bridge in there at the end.
I'm really itching to see how that one is explained.
All has happened before and will happen again.
Here's some news on a BSG movie, etc:
http://www.tv.com/story/11441.html?t...y_list;title;9Actress who plays Sharon on Sci Fi's hit says Battlestar movie has been given green light.
The Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica may currently be shooting the series' final episodes, but that doesn't mean the sci-fi hit is done for good.
In May, The Chicago Tribune unleashed a tidbit of information that made BSG fans' heads spin--there was talk behind the scenes of making up to three made-for-television movies set in the Battlestar universe. The series already had success with a pair of telefilms: the two-hour pilot and Razor, so the idea wasn't completely alien. A follow-up by The Tribune in June reported that at least one of the new movies was "looking likely."
The latest on the prospects of a BSG movie comes straight from the mouth of Grace Park, who plays Sharon in the series. Speaking with The Los Angeles Times, Park said, "I just heard about the first Battlestar movie being greenlit. A TV movie, but still!"
Apparently the news is so fresh that none of the cast's managers or agents have been contacted. Production is currently scheduled to begin in August.
As for those still reeling from the series' midseason finale, be prepared for some more mind blowing when Battlestar wraps in 2009. According to Park, "There's one episode where everything is explained and I had to read it three times," Park told the paper. "I had to sit down with [series creator] Ron Moore and he had to break it down."
The second half of Battlestar Galactica's final season is expected to air sometime early next year.
Now, we have not seen the rest of the season but from here it doesn't really seem right to continue. Plus I thought Ron Moore said that was the end of the story? I'm hesitant to say the least.
Here's a column on the spin-off Caprica:
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-en...tica/800043570
Caprica: The Battlestar Galactica Prequel Explained
"The end of humanity has a beginning."
So goes the not-so-cheery tagline for Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel. The two-hour TV movie about the pre-apocalypse may or may not be a backdoor pilot to a new series, according to Sci Fi Channel's president, Dave Howe.
Caprica stars Esai Morales as Joseph Adama (father of BSG's Admiral William Adama) and Eric Stoltz as Daniel Graystone, who meet when their daughters are killed in the same terrorist bombing. The trouble/fun starts when Graystone, who is an entrepreneurial inventor (a la Bill Gates) decides to bring back the dead girls as robots. Paula Malcomson (Deadwood) has joined the cast as Stoltz's successful surgeon wife, and Polly Walker (Rome) plays the headmistress of a school that secretly teaches monotheism. Walker admitted that she was not a fan of science fiction in general before she was cast in Caprica. "I am a foster child of [the genre]," she said. "I watched all of Battlestar Galactica on DVD. "And now," she said with some resignation, "I'm a huge nerd."
Interestingly, even though the movie clearly takes place in the future, it has a 1950s look, in which men wear suits and hats, for example. "We made a choice for it to feel retro," said producer Ron Moore. "Even though it's a completely different world [than BSG], we are looking back," he said. Fans will probably be sad to learn that, other than the presence of a young William Adama, the new movie will not contain any winky references to the BSG mythology. "Caprica is a different animal," said Moore.
Are the cloned daughters the first Cylons? While the question wasn't answered directly at Sunday's Sci Fi session, it sure seems so. "This series is about our lack of control of technology," said Remi Aubuchon, Caprica's writer and co-executive producer, "how we take for granted the service class around us."
Sci Fi prez Howe says he'll see the completed movie next week, and then decide whether or not to order up a series. — Mickey O'Connor
Just watched episodes 5-10... pretty good stuff. I have to say that there were a healthy dosage of boring, repetitive, and redundant scenes this season, but there were a ton of kickass moments. Good stuff.
So we made it to Earth, and this really seems like the beginning of a whole different series or big arc at the moment now that it's apparent that the final goal of the series wasn't to arrive at Earth. Sadly, all we have left is half a season. I'm in anticipation mode waiting to see the new direction the series takes.
I wonder mainly who the enemies are going to be, now that everyone seems to be getting along. Will they be an external force or an internal force? Will it be a force that both the Cylons and Humans have to fight together? Or will this be a 3-way...
With that said, as for when this scenes take place in regards to our era and history, I can only place it after this one because of all the architectural structures and skyscrappers. There's nothing to say that this Earth is an alternate universe Earth, with its own set of history. With that said, one has to wonder if they'll try to tie its history to ours. If they do, I hope they tell us who won World War III so that I can make the proper arrangements while I still have time.
Also, I don't think we've seen the last of Boomer. She should be alive and kicking and ready to cause some trouble. Now that the Chief's wife is dead, maybe she'll come and seduce him... some Cylon lovin'. The six who was in prison got pregnant. So, if she really got pregnant with Saul's baby, it means that these new Cylons make it possible to have Cylon + Cylon babies... I can see Boomer trying to get her own little monster.
The whole opera thing is pissing me off... hopefully we'll get that out of the way soon.
Here's some news about the next half of the season:
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-en...nded/800044499Battlestar Galactica: Super-Frakkin'-Sized Episodes
TVGuide.com confirmed with Sci Fi today that Battlestar Galactica's final season beginning in 2009 will air "extra-long" or extended episodes.
Executive producer Dave Eick told the audience at this year's Comic-Con that the final episodes have become so critical to the series arc that they couldn't possibly wrap them up in toaster-sized hour-long installments.
Does this mean we'll get multiple two-hour episodes — more than the 10 remaining planned — from Sci Fi? Eick didn't reveal the exact method of lengthening the episodes, but that should keep us fans frakkin' happy during the long hiatus.
Will the idea of super-sized episodes keep you toasty and warm while you wait for new Battlestar episodes? — Erin Fox
Longer than an hour episodes is going to be amazing.
friggin awesome.....even more galactica goodness.
I wonder what they'll do though. Are they going to split the episodes in order to make a longer season? Are they going to do the same experiment FOX is doing with less commercial breaks? Are we going to get 2-hour specials constantly? Or are they simply adding 5-10 minutes of footage here and there...
I'm hoping that they still have plans for that movie after all is said and done.
Hmm, Battlestar Galactica keeps pumping out good news after good news:
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-en...cial/800044707Battlestar Galactica Special in the Works
Battlestar Galactica may be wrapping up for good soon, but fear not: There is still more space drama to come.
A two-hour Battlestar Galactica special is set to air following the series' end in 2009, Sci Fi announced Thursday. The as-yet-untitled episode will be directed by star Edward James Olmos and will feature familiar BSG faces Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas and Dean Stockwell. The network will name-drop more stars in the forthcoming weeks. No details yet on plot, but longtime sci-fi and BSG scribe Jane Espenson will pen the script.
Currently on mid-season hiatus, Battlestar will return to airwaves with its final 10 episodes after "the first of the year," executive producer Ronald D. Moore told TVGuide.com.
In the meantime, the Peabody Award-winning show will vie for six trophies at the Emmy Awards next month. — Joyce Eng
So let's recap what I've understood from all of this:
- We'll get longer episodes next season, 10 in total.
- We'll get a 2-hour special episode after the season is over.
- There's speculation that a movie is in the works as a sequel for the series.
Sounds good to me.
