The Battlestar Galactica and Caprica Discussion Thread

[The Apocalypse]

Is there any word of when the season 4 soundtrack is coming out?

Is there any word of when the season 4 soundtrack is coming out?

Speaking of soundtracks, are there any actual stores where you can get the first 3 season soundtracks? It seems like everywhere I go, nobody has them.

How is everyone seeing Caprica already? Is it online or something?

oh, as for Baltar's sex standards, I think Baltar has great taste. Every chick I've seen him shag on the show was at least an 7 or 8, Starbuck being the ugliest chick he's done and I wouldn't throw her out of bed either lol.

came out on DVD april 21st. It's pretty graphic as I mentioned, lots of boobies, sex and senseless killings on the show's metaphor of the internet, but it's VR internet(insert Dave Chapelle's skit about what the internet would be like in person). There's a funny line about how Greystone invented this VR internet, and the first thing it was used for was porn... classic

It wouldn't take much to edit a 'for TV' cut of Caprica, but it would lose a little bit of the punch.

I dunno when it's gonna be on TV.


And here's my first prediction for the show: Galactica will be built and launched in the finale

I searched around for this answer a little while ago,,, it seems the consensus out there is sometime in June, around the same time season 4 comes out on DVD

how much nudity are we talking here? Nipples or merely sideboob? For something that's just a tv show pilot, there sure has been a lot of talk of this show being kind of graphic.

[Sawyer]

I wish BSG had nudity.... all we got was Six's side-ass.

[Manic]

We also got some side-boob, if I remember correctly.

[Sawyer]

Did we? Eeh... unless its nips, I just kinda forget. The only reason I remember Helfer's side-ass is because it was when Kara walked in on Baltar pleasuring himself and suddenly you just see Head Six bent over a table with her dress pulled around her waist. I was like "holy **** is this really happening?!" :)

[Manic]

I think I remember Head-Six turned sideways with her hand over her boobs once, which didn't cover a hell of a lot, but was covered enough for basic cable.

[Sawyer]

Oh, I think I remember now.

[blksuperman2]

came out on DVD april 21st.

Did this come out in the future?

[TheComicbookKid]

That's what I was wondering.

There must be review screeners running around.

[Dugath]

It was interesting.. very graphic for sure.
But not sure I like it, at times almost seems like a teen drama.
It kept my interest for the most part though just because of the Battlestar connection.

[Superfreak]

put it this way: teens have turned a corner of the internet into a dance club with murder rooms, orgy rooms, sacrifice rooms etc. So the first half of the movie, there's a lot of exploring in there.


as for the teen drama... I was worried about this at first, but by the end of the movie, there is only one identifiable 'alive' teen in the cast, and Willy. If the show sticks with the moral weakness, corruption and racism, and sticks with the adults as much as possible, I think this show could be good.

[Superfreak]

Did this come out in the future?

yes, there are many copies floating around, for about a month now

[GL1]

Y'know... I know that as sophisticated people we're expected to despise any child acting of any stripe or shape... But honestly, what teen drama starts off with the typical love interest

Blowing himself and the star of the show up in a suicide bombing?

And commences to follow that as the main plot point. No goofy romances, odd love triangles or immature behavior of any sort, even... I dare say ESPECIALLY from the child characters. There's nothing remotely 'teen drama' about what I've seen so far. Maybe the last 30 minutes will suddenly not involve government conspiracies and metaphysics arguments.

If the idea of two young actresses acting against each other is an instant turn off, then yeah, don't watch it. But if all you are afraid of is typical insipid teen drama, you won't find any in this movie. None at all. Feel free to point some out if I'm wrong.

damn yall got me straight excited!! I wanna see Caprica now damnit!!!!

[Sentry2005]

You need to man... just watching it now, and it's simply awesome. Just in a completely different, yet linked way to Galactica.

[Dugath]

It was okay. Problem is I do not see it becoming a good series. Because if it does, say good bye to almost all that graphic contact which was used to hook people into the show. It would be like watching something totally different.

At least with BSG its straight to dvd Stuff stuck with the same ..hmm quality... as what you would get on the Tv.. and did not add a bunch of naked women and blood. Just My opinion though.

but the graphic nature is just to describe the motivation behind the characters. It's been defined now. So it's not a big deal.

It'll be good once it gets going. Different, not BSG, but good none the less

[Darthkush]

I MIGHT be getting a free copy of Caprica. A friend of mine has it and he says if he doesn't like it, he'll give me his. He's not really a BSG fan so i'm hoping he HATES it lol.

[BlackLantern]

on the SciFi website there is a really cool thing where BSG and the UN had a panel about the show and how it addresses contemporary issues

If I'm honest, at the beginning I wasn't really paying attention to the screen, so the graphic stuff sort of swept me past. It just seemed like a more intense version of the night club from BSG's finale.

I just really liked the whole shebang. I thought the guy playing Daniel was perfect, and Joseph IS Adama's dad. Plus, the throw back to the Admiral & Commander theme from season 3 when he was telling 'Willie' his true heritage was awesome. It made me happy inside.

I thought the character interactions were pretty good. This obviously is a show that can stand on it's development rather than the graphic scenes. And that first Cylon... I geek-gasmed, and then I orgasmed.

Plus the first Cylon War will come into this eventually... at least you would have thought. The Cylon War was ten years long right? And Adama is like 12 or something here (if it's stated, I well wasn't listening), and entered service at the end of the war... he doesn't look that old, and probably enlisted at 18 (assuming it's the same age requirement as real life, which isn't a leap). Ok, maybe that's a hopeful outlook, but I want Cylon War :D

Also, if there's a spin-off spin-off, then I want Cylon War, Doc Cottle main character. Or Band of Brothers esc multiple viewpoint action. That would be amazing. *geek-gasms at own idea, then cries due to now apparent fan boy nature :(*

My God, she's such a MILF.

And Caprica has it's milf power too, with Polly Walker (Atia from 'Rome') and Paula Malcomson.

If Polly Walker gets naked in Caprica as much as she did in Rome (every one of the 20 odd episodes)... then Caprica is already off to a good start on the MILF front.

Otherwise I agree with what Sentry said above. It's interesting that the cast seems to be made up of old people (ie. parents) and very young (children - teens). With little 'young adult' aged characters

[Sawyer]

Okay, so, for those of you who've watched the pilot, whats the story with the cylons and the hologram crap? I'm not afraid to be spoiled, I'm not getting the DVD since, with 100% certainty, it'll be on the season one DVD, or it'll air on TV.

Basically...

The internet in Capricia is like Futuruama more of less, and lots of other Sci-Fi shows, in that we connect to it with head sets and then literally walk around in the web. That's the only place the Holograms come into it. Zoe Greystone figured out that the human mind is only 300 mb of data (or so), and while you can't copy someone's brain, you can pull together all the information which made them them.

Zoe does this, and her dad Daniel Greystone visits the avatar of his daughter in the internet. This makes him want to give her back her body once she is killed in a terrorist attack orchastrated by her boyfriend (the pair are religious extremists worshipping the one true God.

Daniel copies Zoe's Avatar onto a disc, and uploads it into the first Cylon (like the classic Cylons of BSG, but minus the 'skin' of metal). This doesn't initially work, and Daniel breaks down but decides to use the machine anyway, and lets it run a gauntlett to impress Caprican government representatives (I ASSUME they're government types.. they look it). Later on, the Cylon wakes up and calls Zoe's friend claiming to be back and scared.

That sums up everything I think you want to know... let me know if I missed anything, and everyone else let me know if I got it wrong.

[Manic]

I just can't find myself being all that interested in Caprica. I was looking forward to it when I thought it might be the origins of the skinjob cylons, but I don't see the point now that I know that cylons 1-8 were built by cylons from another planet who weren't anywhere near the planet Caprica prior to the war. It's like... what's the point?

the hologram crap is simply an allegory for our contemporary internet. Only in Caprica land, instead of surfing the internet on a computer, you put on your head gear, and actually walk through it.

Part of the programing that allows cylons to be created is found in the 'holonet'.

[Superfreak]

It's like... what's the point?

it's good. Out of the premier, we already have 2 of the major motivations behind the 12C Cylons. 1) that they want/need to be human, resulting in skin jobs a number of years later and 2) why they believe in a single god.


I just wonder, what are the chances that Willy ends up at the Athenian school?

[Manic]

2) why they believe in a single god.
But didn't Ellen Tigh and/or Sam Anders say that they programmed the belief in a single god into them? :huh:

:csad:

[TheComicbookKid]

I'm pretty sure the Centurions versions developed the belief on their own. Then tried unsuccessfully to build skinjobs, and the Final Five returned and gave them skinjobs because of their common belief in the single god.

[Sentry2005]

Centurions developed belief in a One True God (OTG), and when the five got to the Colonies, Ellen took this as a sign that the cycle of violence could be ended (as they were believing in compassion and love, a new development for Centurions) and pushed for the Cylons to embrace it. It might have been the five in general, but I thought it was mostly Ellen...

Anyway, that's resolved in Caprica, as they show us the origins of Cylon religion as a splinter religion of the Colonies, with Zoe Greystone (Cylon template number one) as the monotheist beginnings of Cylon religion.

[Darthkush]

wow, what an great BSG past couple of days for me.

-I just bought Caprica(my friend loved it so much, he bought the rest of the series so no, i'm not getting his copy lol)

-I found the season 2 soundtrack at barnes and noble and bought it(my fave track so far: "Martial law"

-Art ASylum(who makes the action figures) answered one of my questions in their weekly blog! See...

Kushmeer Farakhan:
We already know that if sales of series 4 are good, we’ll see more BSG figures. Can you give us a hint at who would be in the 5th assortment? Many want a final five box set. If you do it, may I make a suggestion. You could have a standard Tory and Ellen. Col. Tigh could be included with his eyepatch(and without one as an singlepacked figure), Tyrol could be in his orange suit(as opposed to the green fatigues we already have) and best of all, instead of a standard Anders(that we already have), we could have the Hybrid one seen in the final episodes of the series. Also, there’s been tons of talk of D’anna(which I know we can’t have) so how about making Doral, Simon, and CAvill? Maybe in a 3 pack?

DSTChuck: All of the humanoid Cylons as well as Baltar would get a long look in the planning of the fifth wave.

I think I may go watch Caprica now.:woot:

[SV Fan]

Wasn't Caprica going to air on TV? or is it direct to video? It it only 1 episode or a bunch of them. How long as well?

[Superfreak]

I was worried about this aspect, but it worked out quite well.

[Sentry2005]

I was worried about this aspect, but it worked out quite well.

Yeah, I thought Caprica was really solid throughout. I wasn't expecting that at all, I was expecting ok, but not great... this actually feels like it could be as epic as BSG, but in a much different way (centered on the families, rather than human survival)

[Superfreak]

yeah, getting right down to it:

I'm interested in seeing Josef break away from his Tauron backers. I'm also interested in seeing what his stance on the OTGoders is, especially later on as the cylons develop. And the influence on Bill/Willy. I mean Bill lost his mother and sister on the same day, incidently his birthday. That's interesting to me. Even more, I'll be interested to see what Josef has to say about the cylons, especially when they start seeking freedom, especially if Josef becomes a judge as the series progresses

I'm totally expecting little Willy to end up at the Athenian school under Polly Walker's watchful eye.

Greystone, I don't mind either. They really nailed the character. I can't wait to see him rise in stature, and then fall when the cylons begin to get troublesome.

[Darthkush]

Watched Caprica(part last night and the rest this morning). I thought it was excellant. It has a very different feel than BSG but in a good way. The scenes with Josephe Adama seeing his "daughter" again were heartwrenching(While Daniel seeing his was more...thought provoking in contrast). I'm incredibly fascinated with all of the Greystone family and can't wait to see what happens to them next(especially Zoe. Wow. What a predicament they leave her in at the end of the pilot. I doubt she'll stay in there, but it's an great cliffhanger.)

I loved Bear McCreary's music for this. He continues to make pieces that sound more like film than tv.

One big thing that I want to throw out there that I've not heard anybody else say: Does anyone else think that they don't NEED the Adamas for this story? Don't get me wrong, I thought Esai Morales was excellant as Joe Adama and it's kind of neat to see an 11 year old Bill BUT the Greystones are far more important (seemingly) to this show and the plot and can carry the show without the obvious link to BSG that the Adamas represent. Are they really necessary?

[Sentry2005]

I think the Adama's are a nice Mythology link. It's cool to see how this affects Adama in his younger years. It's obviously going to develop in his hatred of Cylons sooner or later (either by taking on his fathers resentments, or because he will find out what the first Cylon was, and how his sister was recreated...)... basically, it's cool because it gives them options.

We also can infer it as part of God's plan; Adama needs to go throw this, to become the man who signs up for the fleet, etc, etc, until he ends up where God want's him to be.

Basically, I don't mind it. But I'm more into the Greystones development after watching the film.

I'm the other way around for the reasons you mentioned above. We know the Adamas will get sucked in. It's Josef who made everything possible, with the theft of the cpu

I get what y ou're saying about Adama. It reminds me of how I feel when I watch old season 1 and 2 BSG in regard sto Baltar. Now everything dumb/bad, he does feels like part of "god's plan"

[Eklypze]

Ok so I go into BestBuy yesterday just to look around a bit and right as Im about to leave something catches my eye, Caprica! Awesome so I pick it up go home toke up a bit and just WOW! I was completely blown away!! No movie or show has ever made me tear up so bad as when both the dads saw their daughters again. How freaking heartwrenching was that ****?!?! Plus whoever said this show looks like itll be just as epic as BSG I am in total agreement cuz this show is gonna be brilliant! Now I just gotta go watch BSG from the beginning cuz I havent seen any of the first 2 seasons.

Having another good BSG day. Today, my starbuck, Kat, andApollo/Dualla 2 pack figures all came by Ups. The collection grows. :bh:

[Eklypze]

Nope havent seen em man. It was a while before I got into BSG too Ive just really gotten into after the 3rd and 4th seasons. I gotta say though Im really wanting to watch it all from the beginning really bad lol I honestly never thought I would like it either but man these shows dont hold back at all they go straight for the throat! and I love it plus I love any show with such deep themes and symbolism and such rich mythology and A+ acting. Thats why I love shows like this and LOST. Now if we could just get Carnivale back on there air I could die a happy man lmao

[Darthkush]

Watching Caprica commentary. CAn't wait for more episodes.

[Eklypze]

Yea man Caprica is gonna be GREAT! I absolutely cant wait till it finally airs seems so long away it feels like waiting for James Camerons Avatar

[Superfreak]

I'm interested in seeing what happens to the 'holonet'. Because 58 years later, that would have been a really useful peice of technology to have when trapped aboard overcrowded ships.

I suppose the OTGers and subsequently the cylons will take it over, causeing the technological 'dark age' that Galactica was created it. But how that all plays out, I'm really interested in seeing.

I was telling a friend of mine that I got into Lost about BSG giving him the basics and whatnot and I was telling him about how alot of the planets and tribes or whatevers names are derived from astrological signs. I named the Taurons Capricans Sagitaarons and the Geminons and we started thinking "Are there ones for the rest of the signs?" Then it dawned on us that there must be Piscons and Ariens and lol yeah considering I havent seen the whole series Im just wandering if there are others. Ariens lmao ya gotta admit thats pretty damn funny

I noticed something easter eggy watching Caprica again. At the end when the Cylon is being tested , listen to the sound effect from its machine gun..
Its the exact same sound of the heavy machine gun in Cameron's Aliens.

[Superfreak]

any word on when "The Plan" is coming out? All I know is that on the Bear Mcreary site, he confirmed that the "Caprica" score will be out later this month. The season 4 score is pushed back to July, and being expanded to 2 CDs (the season on 1 disk, 2nd disk is the Daybreak score). But he also mentioned the "Razor" score for the late summer along with "The Plan" sometime after, although he does note that he hasn't seen or worked on "the Plan" yet.

[Speedball]

I just wrote a seven page paper analysing the racism in Caprica for my Anthropological theory class. :) :) :)
I titled it "The Plight of the Tauron: An Analysis of Racism in Caprica".

that post from bear mcreary wasn't too old either, in which he said he hadn't seen it... meaning it certainly wasn't scored yet. I suppose it is possible to be done in under 60 days

[Darthkush]

Found something of interest while we're all sitting aroudn waiting for the Plan and the 4.5 box set. I just picked up an issue of SFX magazine dedicated to BSG. In it, it has the top 20 favorite characters on the show(new and old) as picked by the fans and it's quite a list.

20. Apollo(old show)
19. The Centurions
18. Billy Keikeya
17. Commander Adama(old show)
16. Anastasia Dualla
15. Doc Cottle
14. Helo
13. Leoben Conoy
12. Brother Cavil
11. Laura Roslin
10. Galen Tyrol
9. Starbuck(old show)
8. Eight(Boomer/Atehna)
7. Six(Caprica/Head)
6. Lee(Apollo) Adama
5. Romo Lampkin
4. Kara(Starbuck) Thrace
3. Admiral William Adama
2. Col. Saul Tigh
1. Gaius Baltar

Top 4 are unsurprising. Lampkin being number 5 smells like his fans bombarded the magazine with votes for him or something. Billy?! Better than Gaeta, Cally, and Anders? I think not. Are the Centurions really even countable? They're nothing but fx foot soldiers.

[Manic]

Lampkin? Freaking Badger?! Wow. He wouldn't have cracked my Top 20 at all, let alone be #5.

Where the hell is Ellen Tigh?! Crazy, drunk, Lady MacTigh.

No love for D'Anna?

[Sawyer]

Anders and that MILF Ellen Tigh need to be on the list.

[The Apocalypse]

Anders and Ellen should be on that list. I'm a huge Billy fan but he doesn't deserve to be on that list. =(

[Manic]

I'd keep Billy on the list. He had the potential to be a likable version of Tory, had the actor not abandoned BSG to star on some failed new show that nobody's ever seen the pilot of.

[Darthkush]

I forgot about D'Anna. She definitely should've been on the list. Anders and Ellen too.

What do you guys dig about Billy? I thought he was kind of boring and even though I kinda liked him with Dualla and didn't like Apollo taking her away from him, once he got offeed, I just didn't miss him at all. Tory was boring too at first but at least she became the "Evil ***** of the final five". I don't think Billy would've done anything nearly that cool if he had lived longer on the show. He's just sort of bland to me.

[Manic]

Billy and Dualla were just a great pair. You got to see their relationship progress in such a genuine way. From looking at each other without saying anything, to subtle flirting, to finally courting.

I also think that, if he had stuck around, his relationship with Laura Roslin would've gotten pretty interesting. He was also a budding politician who Laura said was going to be president one day, and I can see Lee's political role toward the end of the series being Billy's instead.

Maybe they were a great pair and yeah, Dualla would've been better with him than Apollo BUT in the interests of being an more engaging show, I liked the whole Apollo, Dualla, Starbuck, Anders merry go round. Without that, there'd be no "unifished business"(one of my fave episodes ever).

So why did Paul CAmpbell leave the show? Did he want out or was he simply killed off by the writers?

[Manic]

I remember hearing that he was leaving the show to star on some new sitcom or something. I imagine that show was either never picked up, or it never aired in the US.

I just finished season 1 of this show and it is ****ing epic, what a cliffhanger!

[Sawyer]

At least Billy's at, what, 18? How the hell does Romo Lampkin warrant a spot in the top five?!

[ttotheusher]

Lampkin is easily one of my favourite characters. He should of been on the show more.

You're in for a great ride. I honestly wish it had gone on for a fifth season. I would've stretched out the final five thing longer and maybe prolonged the cylon civil war stuff too to bring us into season 5.

[Manic]

If there's one flaw those first three seasons had, it was their habit of repairing the status quo after destroying it during the previous season's finale.

[Superfreak]

I disagree. Adama reuniting the fleet after being shot: Brilliant
Adama returning after the occupation: brilliant. And then in SIV, the F5 revelation episodes were great.

IMO, the weakness' lay more in the weeding out of uneccesary characters in the first season or two.

Battlestar Galactica actress in speculation over role in Daredevil or Deadpool films
By David Bentley on May 24, 09 12:54 AM


BATTLESTAR GALACTICA actress Katee Sackhoff has started a plague of gossip after buying a stack of comic books featuring the character Typhoid Mary.

The character is an enemy and former lover of Daredevil and has also featured in stories with Deadpool. She has multiple personalities and powers of telekinesis as well as pyrokinesis (setting people or objects on fire).

Sackhoff is being linked with the mutant villain (see montage above for Typhoid Mary alongside the actress) after Golden Apple Comics reported that she had visited their Los Angeles store and bought up all issues featuring the character.

Fox studio bosses want to reboot the Daredevil film franchise and are also planning a solo movie on Deadpool, the sword-wielding, wisecracking mercenary played by Ryan Reynolds in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So, if Typhoid Mary is to make a big-screen appearance, those are the likely projects.

Sackhoff, 29, played Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace in Battlestar Galactica, and evil prototype cyborg Sarah Corvus in the Bionic Woman remake.

A different interpretation of Typhoid Mary featured in 2005's Daredevil spin-off sequel Elektra, which starred Jessica Garner in the title role. In that film, Typhoid Mary was played by Natassia Malthe (see image on right) and had the power to destroy anything or anyone she touched.

The character takes her name from the nickname of the real-life Mary Mallon, the first US citizen identified as a healthy carrier of typhoid fever.

Last year, Eva Longoria Parker sparked similar speculation when she was seen clutching a pile of Avengers comic books, leading to rumours she was in line to play insect-winged superhero the Wasp in the Avengers movie.

But she later denied it, although no one has ever explained what she was doing emerging from Marvel's offices with a pile of comics.

hmmmmmmm...

[Upset Spideyfan]

I just watched all 4 seasons of this show. I regret not seeing it on its original run. :(

[Darthkush]

Just watched "The ties that bind". Good episode. I never understood why Ron Moore didn't quite dig it. His commentary indicates he was dissapointed with it, but I loved it.

As I've been rewatching the series, I'm slowly forming an "favorite episodes" list(which I will post when it's ready) and I also have a handful of "sucky episodes" listed too.

Any news on the Plan yet? I want to watch it SOOOO bad.

[Eklypze]

Hahaha omg this is so funnny. I let a friend of mine borrow my copy of Caprica the other day. I told him what it was but I dont think he was really listening and when I woke up this morning I had a voice mail saying "You *******! That movie was so awesome up until that retarded ending! Why the hell did you get me interested in this!" It was so funny I called him and I was like "Dude its not a movie its the pilot of the BSG spinoff" hahaha was so funny. He said it was awesome all the way till the ending and he was like WTF! haha so damn funny.

muh, I love her on BSG, but I'm yet to see her in anything else and find her interesting to watch at the same time

[BlackLantern]

I'm not a 24 fan at all, but it has been a big hit for Fox for the last 8 years

[The Apocalypse]

I swear I heard on Sci-Fi 'and a sneak peak to BSG's 'The Plan'. I just don't know when it's coming on. I think it was during a commercial for another show.

[Darthkush]

muh, I love her on BSG, but I'm yet to see her in anything else and find her interesting to watch at the same time
Even though the show was awful, she was amazing on Bionic Woman.

Darthkush presents his top 25 favorite characters!...

25. "in Head" Baltar
24. Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmonson
23. Ellen Tigh
22. Romo Lampkin
21. Admiral Helan Cain
20. Sharon "Boomer" Valerie
19. Ensign Samuel "longshot" Anders
18. CAG Louanne "Kat" Katraine
17. Lt. Anastasia "dee" Dualla
16. Lee "Apollo" Adama
15. Tory Foster
14. Specialist Cally Tyrol
13. Lt. Felix Gaeta
12. "In Head" Six
11. Capt. Karl "Helo" Agathon
10. John Cavill
9. D'Anna Biers
8. Chief Galen Tyrol
7. President Laura Roslin
6. Caprica Six
5. Dr. Gaius Baltar
4. Capt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace
3. Lt. Sharon "Athena" Agathon
2. Admiral William Adama
1. Col. Saul Tigh

Couple of notes-I like Apollo but I don't love him like other fans do. He has great moments but he's a little bland. Six rates higher than other fans rate her for me because frankly I think Tricia Helfer is underated as an actress. I had such low expectations of her when the show begin and she stuns me often. Cottle and HOt dog leave little impression on me so they don't appear. I love Tory despite most hating her. Despite their ratings, Athena, Starbuck, Baltar, and Six I like all about the same depending on the season and /or episode.

[Darthkush]

I swear I heard on Sci-Fi 'and a sneak peak to BSG's 'The Plan'. I just don't know when it's coming on. I think it was during a commercial for another show.

As in a special or as in a 5 minute commercial during a crappy sci-fi tv movie?

FILMMAKER COMMENTARY


SYNOPSIS
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan: The Cylons began as humanity's robot servants. They rebelled, and evolved, and now they look like us. Their plan is simple: destroy the race that enslaved them. But when their devastating attack leaves human survivors, the Cylons have to improvise. Battlestar Galactica: The Plan tells the story of two powerful Cylon leaders, working separately, and their determination to finish the task.

An inspired, visually stunning reimagining of the 1978 series of the same name, Battlestar Galactica captured the imaginations of a new generation of fans with its gritty realism, compelling storylines and commanding performances. The show garnered numerous awards, including two Emmys and the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and was recognized by the American Film Institute (AFI) as one of the most outstanding television programs of the year for two years running. In March 2009, Battlestar Galactica's impassioned explorations of today's hot-button issues, including politics, terrorism, treatment of prisoners and religion, even inspired the United Nations to host a special panel to discuss the questions it has raised. The series is from Universal Cable Productions and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick.

So who are going to be the 2 cylon leaders. I havent gotten to where Cavil or Deanna are introduced yet. Damn i hate being broke a jobless! I need the rest of the seasons now! Also what is Razor all about anyway? I dont even know what it has to do with or anything.

Razor is the story of the Pegasus and how she survived the Cylon attack and the events that led up to her meeting with Galactica...we also see Lees first mission as Commander of the Pegasus and a Young Bill Adama at the end of the first Cylon war....with Classic Cylons

[Eklypze]

Awesome! I needa go pick that up when I get enough monet

[BlackLantern]

its actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be

Awesome! I needa go pick that up when I get enough monet

Just remember this, Razor comes with season 4.0. It'll save you some money.

[Superfreak]

i'm getting impatient, i want my effing score already

[Sawyer]

The season 4 score was epic. Especially in the episode that Cally died.

[BlackLantern]

I was clapping too loud to hear the score when that cow got airlocked

[Sawyer]

lol Oh, BL....

I wish that scene held more shock value for me, but unfortunately Sci-Fi decided to put the damn scene in the previews! :cmad:

[ariellem]

I couldn't stand Callie (Cally? I'm tired) OR Tory. Wish they'd both gotten airlocked. But Tory was definitely the evil one in that scene. Always liked Chief & felt bad for him that first he ended up with C. and then that T. airlocked her. Kept hoping he'd find someone else.

[Darthkush]

You guys don't like Cally? why?

[Eklypze]

Just remember this, Razor comes with season 4.0. It'll save you some money.


Thank you kind sir. You are truly a good friend. (Internet friend at least) lmao

[Eklypze]

I loved it in the finale when Tyrol straight choked Tory out! That was so great. I wish I never deleted it off my dvr now

[Sawyer]

Watching Galen Tyrol choke the **** out of Tory in the series finale was the closest I'll ever come to erotic asphyxiation. It was amazing.

[Eklypze]

Hahaha Ive come a bit closer to that man and lemme tell you.... FUN FUN FUN

[BlackLantern]

You guys don't like Cally? why?

she was boring, irritating, looked like the Pillsbury DoughBoys ugly younger sister, was a cheating *****

[Superfreak]

she was boring, irritating, looked like the Pillsbury DoughBoys ugly younger sister, was a cheating *****

I thought she was alright right up to the 'crazy' airlock episode... in which she was excessively annoying... and was glad that Tory killed her.

I didn't like Tory much either, but she was a pawn of the unseen force. Driven mad by the music, to piss off Galen enough to stop the secret of resurection from being revealed. And I felt slightly sorry for her... that being said, she was a squirrely little ho, and was quite happy when Galen tried to rip her head off.

[Superfreak]

well, review of the score:

it was good, lots of great tracks, but I was not as impressed with it as earlier seasons. Some tracks were so different from the 'theatrical' versions, that I didn't like them as much... I think they could have excluded the whole "Assault on the Colony" track and replaced it with some hendrix, or a cue of music that would develop from Starbuck on the piano, to 'Heeding the Call' (S3 OST), to 'All Along the Watchtower"(S3 OST), with all the crazy final 4 cylon music thrown in... it's a theme that slowly grew over 2 seasons, and would have loved to have a track that takes us from the beginning of the 'music' to the finale.

loved the track for 'Tigh's confession and the meeting before going to Earth1' although, as I note later, I don't like how the order of the music is changed from the theatrical release.

loved the track with SB at the piano with dad, especially it's extended version.


The OST was good, but I was not as impressed as I was with earlier scores. I prefer my OSTs to be as similar to the theatrical versions as possible... but there was clearly a lot of chopping up of the music during the editing process on the show. I like to have my scores come in the order I heard them in on the show, as far as possible of course.

(ie. you have the heavy beat voice/drum track, where Apollo is about to blow Tigh out the airlock, and starbuck getting there just in time to stop him, great track...... But then the conclusion to that scene, musically, comes 4-5 tracks later, but includes Tigh's confesion music (prior to the near excecution), and the Signal meeting by Starbuck's magic viper (after the near excecution)). I felt that the three tracks mentioned here, fit very well together in the form they were delivered in on the show... I'm dissappointed that it was reorganized for the OST.

Otherwise, another solid BSG score, still love it, just not as blown away as the earlier ones.

well I only bought season 1 because I had a 40 percent of dvd set coupon from Borders, I bought seasons 2 and 2.5 used for 25 apiece, so Ill give those to my cousin or something and pick up the full set in a couple weeks

[Sawyer]

Got season 4.5 today. :up: The saga is complete!!!

Now I just need to wait for The Plan and Caprica.

I really hope Caprica goes the distance, and ends with Galactica being launched for the first time.

I think it's a safe bet that it could survive past its first season. If this were a broadcast network (ABC, Fox, NBC, etc.), I'd probably be a bit weary, but this is on SyFy (horrible name) and BSG was a success for them, so I think they'll keep it around for a while.

Who else caught Olmos on Attack of the Show the other day?

I haven't seen Olmos do a lot of interviews, but AOTS interviews are lot more loose then your average talk or interview show

I did watch the UN panel on the website a couple weeks ago and its very good, I highly recommend it

I loved that Olmos basically told The Sopranos and The West Wing to suck it. :hehe:

Same with me! Plus I now have the last 8 hours of the series on my dvr. Gotta love those all day SyFy (ugh) marathons

Lost and BSG are the best shows ever imho. Only one that has ever come close to the greatness of them was Carnivale and we all know what happened there. Caprica will be just as great too watch and see.

yeah, this show is da bomb. The miniseries is good, but it's nothing compared to the actual series. The first episode of the regular series knocks it out of the park, and it just gets better from there. I still gotta pick up S4 and 4.5.

[Superfreak]

If thats a veiled critisism of LOST, I wont hear it and I wont respond to it. [/Arrested Development]

Lost and BSG have taken the post 2000 award for redefining TV me says, especially in the sci fi genre. I think they did this by re-embracing the concept that the sci fi in a genre show, is nothing more than the setting, and that it is compelling characters that drive the show. Both Lost and BSG have done this. If they told the same stories, in a non-scifi genre show(with a little adaptation), I think it would be equally as entertaining.


One thing that BSG had over Lost, was that it felt like it was going somewhere from the beginning. The first few seasons of Lost could have turned out like Alias (ie. all the build up, and none of the payoff, otherwise known as a moneymilker). The premise was interesting and attractive, but the pace of the show was nut crunchingly slow. I was very worried about investing my weekly hour and anticipation to Lost. But I was so very happy that Lost finally committed this year, because it was fantastic.

[Eklypze]

You ask me Lost commited at the end of Season 3. Thats when everything made the turn for the better if you ask me

[Sawyer]

LOST definitely turned itself around by the end of the third season when they announced that the show would end with season six and with their flashforward finale. You could feel that they were really heading places. Which is more than anyone could say for Heroes. And dont even get me started on Smallville. That was really a show that should have had a plan from the beginning, but it's abundantly clear that they had no such plans.

yeah, smallville. The show had just as much potential as BSG or Lost when it started. But, Lost, as others pointed out, commited to it's long run narrative. Smallville never did that, and now we're at season 9, and the narrative still doesn't know where it's going. Smallville is a perfect example of what Lost could have been had it not kicked in and ante'd up. And visa versa, Lost is a perfect example of what Smallville might have been, had it had someone with some balls in charge of the production. Moreover, SV had so much access to BSG show runners/players, and still nothing rubbed off. I wonder if there were jokes flying around Vancouver F/S between the two crews, ie. the crew that makes gold, bashing the crew that constantly produces feces

[Darthkush]

Bought season 4.5 last Tuesday and finished it about 20 minutes ago. Wow, I love this show. I agree with what you guys were saying about Lost and BSG. They really are the two best shows post 2000(and for me both are in my top 10 of all time) because although they have sci-fi trappings, they rely on the strength of the characters, writers, and actors more than most shows do. They don't win as many thing because of their sci-fi elements but I think we'd all agree here that they SHOULD.

Oh, and I also agree about Alias and Smallville. Alias started off great and it seemed to have a plan but I'd say after the third season ended, it became all about pleasing the network and making it more accessible and it just becamse very one note and directionless. I'll never forgive them for how bland they made Arvin Sloane who pre season 3 was slowly becoming one of tv's greatest villains.

Smallville's problem is it just doesn't know when to die. I felt seasons 1 and 2 were fun but 3 and 4(by far the worst season for me) were just treading water. Then we got the phenomenonl seasons 5 and 6 which really should've ended things...then it didn't. Season 7 came and I liked it well enough but again, it should've ended(especially with Lex leaving. How do you let Lex find the fortress...and then keep going????!). 8 was...well, better than the worst Smallville seasons but it reeks of beating a dead horse. The worst part I've heard about 9 is that they still think they can go for 10! That's nuts.

Back to BSG, now that i've finished the show again, that list of my fave episodes I mentioned a few pages back, will finally be ready. Expect that soon and I urge you all to chime in with yours too. In reflection of season 4.5, I think it has a weak middle but not as weak as many claim. What has affectionatly become known as "The Gaeta mutiny/rebellion" to many is easily the strongest part of the season but while the middle is well...middling, it still has stuff going on. Mainly resolving a bunch of dangling plotlines like Boomer and Tyrol's former relationship, the oddly formed triangle of Tigh/Ellen/Six and the...baby, etc. It's not as great as earlier stuff but at this point in the series, we care so much for most of the characters, it feels better than it probably is. And the finale still rocks, I dont' care what anybody says. Other than the kind of flimsy way they handle Starbuck's deal(which after THAT much hoopla and buildup IS poorly handled no matter how you slice it), I think it's perfect. The deaths are touching, the action is awesome and(I wish I had a gif or something of it) but as we all know Galen choking Tory=awesome.

For those who are on the fence about buying the rest of the series, I urge you to do so. Many are divided on the final season with it's focus on the final five but nobody denies the awesomness of the first arc in season 3: the new Caprica occupation. Those episodes are better than most major motion pictures, they're so good.

Finally, my Chief Tyrol action figure is now on it's way to me. Yay!

[Flash Facts]

I was just watching the G4's Edward James Olmos interview where he mentioned more Battlestar movies and it made me think are there really that many more stories to tell during that period and do fans really want them to keep making movies? The plan seems like it will fit in very well with the rest of the series but if they just keep making movies they could end up feeling really out of place and like the are obviously just milking the franchise.

I'd love to see what happened to bulldog in one of these movies.

[BlackLantern]

id like to see maybe something from when Adama first took command of Galactica

[Upset Spideyfan]

I imagine that would be pretty boring.

Adama became a Battlestar commander during peace time so that scratches out any Cylon encounters all together.

[Superfreak]

there's a huge gap in the New Caprica narrative which could easily fit a movie. Hell they could do a whole series about the extremely undermanned fleet that abandoned NC. There's certainly enough time between the initial flash forward on NC, as well as the gap between the ending of season 2 and the opening shots of season 3. Lots of time for a movie narrative to fit in there.

[Speedball]

I've had an idea for a comic series that take place in our time.
An Archaeologist finds Adama's Raptor in a temple in Africa, activates it, and he and his crew are sent to the last place it jumped to, which is the Cylon Colony.

Well... they go from the colony, where they find the remaining Cylons, who are Centurions, and are followed to New Caprica. The Raptor has every coordinate it's ever jumped to logged. They go all the way to Caprica, where they find survivors of the holocaust roaming a Fallout style landscape.
Eventually they get back to Earth, and the Cylons follow. The end of the comic series ends with a huge war going on between the Cylons and Earth.

It's Nuclear Winter Caprica. What else is it going to look like? There had to be survivors. I'm not saying there are going to be super-mutants and all that stuff, but the general look of the landscape would be that.

nah, if a present day BSG was to be explored, I'd set it about 100 years in the future, some space exploration around the sun... and low and behold, Anders is still floating around up there. If BSG was the Odyssey, then this present day concept would be the Illiad.

[Eklypze]

that's what the plan is about

Is it? I thought it was just going to be showing like the Cylons pov before the fall of Caprica and afterwards. I didnt know they were gonna do anything with the final 5 in it.

I doubt they'll have very much of the final five backstory, probably just a few scenes. I heard its going to be mostly about cylon infiltrators in the fleet.

I think making Tory less of a wanton skank would be entirely possible. I get the impression everyone's personalities were slightly different in their old lives.

Bryan Singer may direct a BSG movie. source (http://movies.ign.com/articles/101/1013496p1.html)

[Darthphere]

I don't see what the point is. The argument is that BSG didn't bring in a lot of viewers and that it's just a loud and loyal fanbase but it's fresh in people's minds and has a lot of pop culture reference to it. Like Salma Hayek's character in 30 Rock being a huge fan. I frankly can't see this actually happening.

Ugh. TOO SOON. If they're smart, they'd wait another 10 years and then do a feature film that combines elements of the older and newer series if they have to remake it again at all.

Very Hyped about the Plan. Throwing my hat in the "I heard.." ring. I heard it will be told mostly from the perspectives of Anders and Cavill. If that's so, I think we will get more final five stuff than previously thought.

Still hoping Daniel is somehow Starbuck's dad.

if this is the film that explains the antagonist position, then the F5 are gonna be in there. Clearly they were part of the plan, be it as a victim, or as a perpetrator. So they're gonna be in there. Moreover, we have to see how 'the plan' was initiated, how John took over. Why he wanted to punish both humanity and the F5. I just see the F5 as a very integral part of the whole cylon's plan is concerned.

[Manic]

...and she's still not a cylon. Cylons don't go poof! and vanish
She's no more a cylon than Hera. Also, she only went poof! and vanished in the end because she was a ghost. Starbuck really did die. What returned in the brand new viper was some sort of spirit.

I've been seriously invested in this TV show since it came on air, for someone to come in and mess it up seriously breaks my heart. It messes up Moore's vision for the series, and now makes it completely irrelevant.

Well, I'm a 2004 fan too... but I'm just being realistic here. Who cares if they do something new?! It's an entirely different continuity, most likely. It's not going to wipe BSG off the face of the earth.

It'd piss me off. In fact, it's happened before. By Bryan Singer's hand. I just like to pretend Superman Returns never existed, otherwise I go off on an uncontrollable rant about illegitimate dads, homewreckers, terrible casting, and the director not deciding whether he should make a sequel, remake, or reboot-- all the while preferring to use the old movies as a reference without much regard for the printed source material.

I'm not exactly enthusiastic about the idea... but we also have to remember, the same argument was being made 6 years ago by the BSG purists, luckily, BSG2000 turned out to be fantastic.

so again, I'm not exactly excited by the idea of a return to the old stylization and narrative... but there is a part of me that is saying 'keep an open mind'. There is a very small chance that this movie could be actually good.
