This is the live thread for the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica!! SO SAY WE ALL!!

[marajade]

Starbuck is an immortal being.

[marajade]

Once everyone figures out who Starbuck is everyone is gonna be afraid of her.

[marajade]

I’m still lamenting from Crashdown’s death in the first episode of season 2.

[Captain Beyond]

Lucifer might make an entrance yet. Being a the ultimate evil in cylon and nuking a cylon world so he could get humans to come and worship him and rule them. Some kind of AI glitch like HAL gone really really bad.

[KevinDavis]

You mean Count Iblis ;)

[Laz711]

I know, confusing isn’t it? I am sure that RDM will have some twist for us to explain it.

[AFreeBird]

Is this really Earth? What do they do if it is?

If anyone on Earth had half a brain; they blow all that drek out of the sky.

Skiffy had a marathon on all day Friday. God what a bad show. Bad directing, bad writing, bad acting, bad production; just plain bad.

I've been watching SciFi since the 60's, and I've seen better B flicks in B&W than this crap.

Too bad too. The franchise had a lot of potential to be redone right, but now that prospect has been totally destroyed by the MooreRon.

Well...that is why it is called freedom of choice and we all have different opinions. My opinion is you are crazy and wouldn't know good TV if it fell off the shelf and hit you in the head.

This is a great show. You want to see bad acting? Watch Star Trek TOS. Its still a great show...but some of the acting is horrible (especially by Shatner). Babylon 5...another popular show...one I can't watch because of the acting. BSG has great acting.

[KevinDavis]

Heck even Leoben was scared of her..

[KevinDavis]

I would have to say Andromeda tops them all... To me Babylon 5 tops them all. To each his or her own..

[KevinDavis]

That is what I’m thinking..

[Hot Tabasco]

What is WRONG with the writers — are they misogynists?

The writers explain why here Battlestar Blog interview

[muawiyah]

Cylon technology is, in practice, immortality. You have an ordinary Cylon. She dies but her consciousness lives on to be stuffed into another Cylon body.

So, yeah, the current crop of Cylons have been around for as long as there've been Cylons.

[muawiyah]

The Cylon Planet (Earth) would need some local resurrection machinery. It's probably still there chugging along, and all those quasi-Cylons commiting suicide are going to start popping up all over the Cylon Planet pretty soon.

Kind of like "Night of the Living Dead" ~ and boy are they going to be hungry because there's nothing to drink ~ you did know robotniks need alcohol to function, right?

The answer is Everybody in BSG is a Cylon except one guy and one gal and all the rest of 'em are trying to get them to hook up!

[muawiyah]

Recall when the Cylon skinjob doctor removed Kara’s ovaries on Caprica ~ there’s your answer.

[NELSON111]

I thought Andromeda was OK for the first 3 seasons...after that...it became unwatchable IMO.

[tanknetter]

Recall when the Cylon skinjob doctor removed Kara’s ovaries on Caprica ~ there’s your answer.

It's obvious that there is another, unrevealed, party involved who is manipulating things. Could be the Cylon "god", or some other entity that has not even been mentioned in the series.

For Starbuck II to be a clone made from the eggs of Starbuck I would mean that entity managed to obtain Starbuck I's eggs from Caprica.

[KevinDavis]

That show had good a idea.. Rebuild an alliance after it has fallen..

[misterrob]

Can I get on the BSG list?

[kingu]

I keep thinking that the final answer has to do with the resurrection ship. The oddball theory I have was that the Cylons were trying to improve their abilities, and decided to make a method of saving and restoring their best fighters/pilots/ships, and built the resurrection ship, but then the final five popped out of (to them) nowhere. So, confused, they put them among the humans and then started trying to replicate the idea as ‘skin jobs’, and created the seven. And while they could copy those seven, they couldn't figure out a way to make any duplicates of the (first) final five, so in many ways they're somewhat mystical to the cylons, especially since they don't understand or know who/what/how those five were created.

How they were transmitted from Earth to the resurrection ship was unknown, but suspected that they were all very strong willed cyborgs, their data flung out by the nuclear explosions, which took a good long time to reach the cylons, accounting for the time difficulty.

Eh, not sure I buy that...
