The Battlestar Galactica and Caprica Discussion Thread

[Superfreak]

The new poster looks pretty nice!

I like how she's attractive, but not supermodel hot

 

[L.A.]

Hey guys I started watching battlestar galactica earlier this year but stop cuz of school. I got as far as season 2 episode 7 home part two. Anyone know which disc of season two that is, so i can added on my netflix?

 

[Alistair]

LA,

S2 D2. You will have one more to watch, and then S2 D3, with 2, and Pegasuses as the "Final" and you'll move over to 2.5. =S Sad part is, I had to pull out my disks.

I swear, 4.0 is still way to expensive. =D


Hasta,
Ali

Caprica starts tonight. Cant wait.

 

[Soapy]

It's just the old pilot isn't it?

Yeah, but I never got the DVD. I learned my lesson when I bought the BSG miniseries just to find out that it was also on the S1 DVD. I'm not about to make the same mistake here.

Pleasant surprise, seeing James Marsters in the montage for upcoming episodes.

 

[Soapy]

Do you guys think that this will have any major spoilers for BSG? I'm going through it for the first time now and I was just wondering.

I doubt it. Ron Moore has said that, though they are connected in that it is a prequel to BSG, he wants to establish them as two different series. Plus, the only character the two shows have in common is Bill Adama.

Thanks much. I was curious because I was wanting to watch The Plan wherever it fits chronologically with the rest of the series, but someone said that would ruin the rest of the show for me or something. And I didn't know if it was going to be the same with Caprica or not.

Oh, the Plan might, I'm not too sure. I still have yet to see it.

But I doubt Caprica will.

Something I would love Caprica to do is show how the military worked prior to the fall. We got to see how things worked on Galactica, but Galactica was always special. Things slid by even before the fall due to its retirement coming up. I would like to see some campaigns Caprica gets involved in militarily and some of the first war with the cylons. I want to see some of the deeper workings of the military, and how it functions within the society.

I don't see caprica going all the way to the first cylon war... it might end with it, but I don't think the show will be involved with it.

The first cylon war happened 40 years prior to BSG, and Caprica is set 50 years prior so its not a stretch that they could cover some of it in a few episodes. But I Have to be practical and expect them not to. Otherwise, I'm just gonna set myself up for disappointment. I just want more Battlestar so bad lol.

So what's everyone's thoughts on the two hour pilot?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Just bought S1-4 of BSG 2weeks ago since Wal-Mart had it on sale and just finished it yesterday. Love the series, just got better as it went on. Was sad to finish it.

And just finished watching Caprica today and thought it was good for the most part. But I think/hope it gets better as the show goes on.

Depending on how this series goes, would be great to get another series that focuses on our present future. Kind of a beginning/middle/end for the BSG universe.

It all depends on how they jump the timeline in the series proper.

They gotta age Bill Adama atleast 10 years or something before tossing him into the colonial fleet meat grinder.

I'd love for this series to end at the beginning of the war... Maybe as Bill leaves home. But I don't know what the outlook for the series is yet. I don't really have a feel for what ground it's going to cover.

But am totally interested in how the OTG ideology gets picked up by the cylon, or how it is spread by the chloe avatar. Also excited to see Polly Walker get her hands dirty... she can be so evil, it's lovely.

I watched the pilot even though Ive seen it like 5 times by now. They changed a few things around though. Plus no boobies lol. The preview for the rest of the season is what got me psyched up!! Seeing Patton Oswalt was one thing but James freakin Marsters!!! Funny too cuz Ive been re-watching alot of Angel n Buffy alot lately outta boredom then I see Spike is gonna be on Caprica?!?!?! Epic win! Hopefully he has a good substantial role

what do you mean, like BSG2010? Cylons return to contemporary earth?


I'd really like this show to cover the lead into the cylon war... BSG proper cover the aftermath of the cylon war... and a third series about the actual cylon war, with Husker Adama

the boobies, I know, gone.

 

[Maximus One]

Husker Adama?? Im sad to admit Im a bit lost

That's Adama's viper callsign. I was implying a middle series after this one that tells the story about the actual cylon war.

 

[Maximus One]

Really!?!?! I never knew that. To be honest Ive only really rewatched seasons 3 n 4 cuz I really like them the best. But yea a Cylon Wars show would be great. Who could be cast as a young viper pilot Bill though?? And what would be a good name for the series??

 

[Sawyer]

I'd be absolutely on board with a Cylon Wars series. Though, I would hope it would have a very different feel than BSG.

 

[Maximus One]

It would. No skin jobs for one. Plus there would probably be plenty space and land battles. Was it ever stated which of the 12 colonies were effected the most by the Cylon War? I mean of course Caprica was but seems like the other 11 wouldve been involved as well. I mean honestly how big were the wars supposed to be??
