I don't understand her part in the show, that boltar guy is the only one who can see her right? Of course I would probably know if I just watched the show, I've seen some from the first season and I missed all of the second season.

Yes and in season 2 the tables are turned and when she's with the Cylons, Boltar appears and irritates her and the other Cylons can't see him.


I actually think that Grace Park is hotter than her.

You know what I want to see this season? I want to see Adama kick Baltar's ass. Not kill him, just beat that little b!tch down. Maybe even give him a curby like that one scene from American History X.

That would be nice to see.


Does anyone notice how fat Lee is now? They must only have peanut butter and chocolate rations left on the Pegasus or something.

or he's just enjoying the success of the show and the big raise he got.

[DarkCypher]

I'm glad I finally got around to watching season 1 & 2, because I'm totally hooked on it now. Definitely better then Stargate and Atlantis.

rofl
and talk about cheesy having nickelback in the background of that clip, **** I hate them and that song...

[americanbychoice]

Tricia Helfer is easy on the eyes... but her character scares me.

Psycho killer girlfriends kind of do that.

Grace Park's character is slightly less psycho, so I'd choose her first to populate my fantasy island.:p

...

And if Jamie Bamber is too "pretty boy"... I guess there's also Tamoh Penikett (who plays Karl "Helo" Agathon)...

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1783/200pxhelopromophotozq9.jpg

One has to wonder if he might not last through this season, though... I thought Ron Moore said he would be killing off some of the more major characters, and IIRC they didn't intend for Helo to get off of Caprica in the first place... and now that certain events have taken place in Season 2, there doesn't seem to be any reason to keep Helo around.

Of course, maybe they'll do something ridiculous and get rid of Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, or any other cast member that might be able to ask for more money elsewhere...

...

OH, and for the lesbians (aka Xena - Warrior Princess fans), maybe you might want to see Lucy Lawless reprise her role as a reporter with a rather nasty secret...

Didn't watch that Season 3 clip yet. He didn't look too fat on that recent Celebrity Poker show... but maybe the starving non-refugees of New Orleans took all the food while he was down there.

Or maybe Jamie Bamber is taking on the whole acting thing... adding weight to show that his character is more and more resembling his rather hefty father, Commander William Adama (played by Edward James Olmos).

It could just be make-up but I also think they're trying to make him look like the Admiral.

[foxtrot023]

supposedly Lee Adama will stay fat for a few episodes, and then go fit again. It has to do with the story......personally I think he got fat being depressed about not shagging Starbucks

[Herrmannek]

One question, till now I watched only piltos of the season 1. Are this happening before or after we earthy humans landed on earth? AH ANd if this important for plot don't spoil me

the story is that the colonies in BSG were founded by people from earth. But the records of how to get to earth are gone so no one knows how to get here.

[TheKiwi]

I think she's hot.......and we're falling farther behind on Sci Fi down here......I think we've only had Season 1

Yep, only season one here. Hurray for friends who buy season 2 from Amazon and then loan it to you.

F*ing SciFI channel... I wish they had the entire season 2 in one box instead of having to buy two separate boxes.

I bet they're going to release both together as a giant box right before Xmas, though.

/waiting until Xmas to get season 2 on DVD...
//still prefer season 1 way more than season 2 except for a couple episodes (Lee Adama, the Pegasus, stuff happening on board the Pegasus when Lee becomes XO... trying not to write any episode spoilers here)... I just like watching the Lee Adama character evolve into a leader

I honestly think they made a mistake in moving to a 20-episode format for season 2 and 3. With 13 episodes as they did in season 1, I think it was alot easier for them to really put together very cohesive and of very high quality, while they had to put alot more filler in for season 3. That said, it seems like the longer break they took between seasons will give them the opportunity to put together something strong again.

What I also like is that they're clearly not afraid of changing the nature of the show and pissing off the audience. Jumping ahead a year was a risky move (I believe there's going to be another jump at the beginning of season 3), but I think they pulled it off well, and it allows them to explore new things (both in story and in characters) rather than sticking with the same old ragtag fleet. Now I just hope they don't make the predictable mistake of blowing up the Pegasus. There's just too much potential to be explored there still, especially with Lee in command now.

Uh uh.

According to the series, people (13 Tribes) left Kobol (for unexplained reasons), where they had lived with the Gods*. 12 Tribes went to the Caprica/Picon area and the solo Tribe went to Earth.

*-no one has asked/told where the Gods got to. Athena committed suicide right before the Tribes bailed.

considering who he is shagging ...I think not...

Im sorry, but i dont see what all the fuss is about the blonde cylon chick....she looks like a tranny...she is the least attractive of the regular female cast members.... I'd shag Laura Roslyn before I got with her...

[LaoSexMachine]

I black girls is also a hottie! I bunk with her anytime.

[ArmedPacifist]

I call Cally or Racetrack.

I agree... season 2 seemed a lot more out of focus, and while I sometimes like the random style of storytelling that Ron Moore & company have done for the show, I wish some elements didn't disappear seemingly out of the blue or get really shoved aside at times... like the Helo-Boomer relationship, or all the tension between Galactica and the Pegasus (and between the Old Man & Admiral Cain)

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/5787/21006gz5.jpg

Man, I wish there was more of Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) than there is in season 2... she was a great character. She threw everything into chaos for a while... she really pushed Bill Adama, she really helped Kara "Starbuck" Thrace evolve, she impacted Lee Adama's position heavily, she totally went at President Roslin in a nasty way. Admiral Cain was a total bad ass... so threatening and nasty.

The mid-point of season 2 ended with so much tension, and then it felt like a lot of air got let out of the balloon a couple episodes into season 2.5 when the Admiral Cain situation was resolved... (again, trying not to reveal anything more than the bare essentials & avoiding real spoilers at all costs)

Admiral Cain was a total bad ass... so threatening and nasty.Definitely. The thing that I liked best about Cain was that in "Pegasus," she acted like a total bitch, but that really, everything she did and ordered could easily be seen as correct from a certain point of view. She wasn't evil, but rather a hardassed complement to the softie that Adama had become. Then they had to go ruin that dynamic in 2.5 when they decided that she had to die immediately. Not only that, but they decided to make her eeeeeevil first by establishing previously that she'd stripped and abandoned a civilian fleet and executed innocent people and all that crap.

And beyond that, I liked Fisk, that they originally made him a reasonable and competent officer. Then they made him a greedy buffoon and killed him off.

I think Fisk was a good guy, but he had his flaws, kind of like Tigh. Yeah, he was in the black market, but remember, he also saved Helo and Tyrol from being beaten by those Pegasus enlisted and Marines.

There really can't be any tension between Galactica and Pegasus now because they have so few crew. From what I can tell from the season 3 preview, Lee doesn't want to go back to rescue the humans on New Caprica? Anyone want to speculate on what Dualla means by saying Lee has "lost his edge, and you're a soldier who needs a war", and Boomer telling Admiral Adama that he "needs to forgive himself." I don't think Lee will majorily split with his father, especially after his season1 actions.

Lee seems to lose his edge a lot, and then he finds it again. I like how his leadership is kind of "organic"... it doesn't seem instantaneous & ra-ra. He second-guesses things...

(This was another awesome thing about Admiral Cain... that she didn't hesitate in front of her people. She made the tough calls and lived with the consequences. It was just a beautiful contrast with Cain & Starbuck compared to the Adamas

Fisk... maybe he was just more of a realist & pragmatist, but too much so. He got his hands too dirty in order to make things run. And then Fisk has to be put aside, and the moralist "middle ground" can be achieved again through the somewhat bizarre actions of Lee Adama during that one episode with the black marketeers. There's just a lot of dramatic tension between these morality/personality differences... Cain versus Bill Adama in matters regarding the fleet, Fisk versus Zarek versus Lee Adama in control of the black market)

... anyway, I like how Lee kind of grows into his position. He's a good leader when he's pushed, but he can be an awful second-guesser as well.

Starbuck has to slap him down and say "Act like the F*ing CAG!" And in the "Hand of God" episode, nobody trusts him to dance on the edge in order to get the job done... but when pushed, Lee does do the crazy impossible.

Anyway, I think Starbuck "lives on the edge" (she says so herself)... while Lee needs to be pushed there in order to thrive. He needs to be in the teeth of a fight in order to really shine, like when he took command of the Pegasus after it had fallen into that ambush. Anything else than the utter chaos of a fight (whether in battle, or in a personal struggle like against Tom Zarek) and he's a much lesser man.

/all my opinion

/all my opinion

I mostly agree with you. Lee isn't that great of an officer until he is pushed to his limits (almost every episodep-)), but you have to remember, he didn't even want to be in the military, or active duty that is (he is actually a reservist). What makes the show great is the responsibilities handed to the characters when they don't want them, and the actions they take as a result.

[Ratamacue]

There's just a lot of dramatic tension between these morality/personality differences... Cain versus Bill Adama in matters regarding the fleet, Fisk versus Zarek versus Lee Adama in control of the black market)Don't forget Baltar vs. Roslin vs. Zarek in the Presidency. Apparently, Zarek is supposed to be Baltar's VP, and I think it would be great if he ascended to the Presidency rather than Roslin regaining it, which is the predictable and boring choice for the writers to make.

[Lokos]

The predictable and boring choice was healing her sorry behind in the first place. Though she has gained a very interesting sinister streak, as of late. I think she even frightened Adama a little with a few choice decisions late in S2.

The S2 cliffhanger, though, was incredible. Caught. Like rabbits in wire.

I will say no more for fear of spoilers.

[americanbychoice]

Don't forget Baltar vs. Roslin vs. Zarek in the Presidency
FRAKKING BALTAR. James Callis does a great job portraying a completely selfish, amoral, intelligent scientist/scumbag. I want to throttle him, but I also want to see what totally screwed up thing he's going to do for his own self-interest. Or when he carries on multiple conversations at the same time because he's talking to the Cylon *** doll in his brain while he's talking to the President or the Admiral or someone... it's just hillarious how he escapes to his ****** fantasy under any stressful condition.

Zarek is fun too... although I wish he weren't so marginalized towards the end of Season 2. It was great in the first part of season 2 when Roslin & Zarek were stuck with each other for plot purposes... but then Zarek went away.

Season 2 just picked too many things up, and then threw too many things away. Some of it was really good, some was just too uneven.

The S2 cliffhanger, though, was incredible. Caught. Like rabbits in wire.
I agree. Magic stem cells = insta-cure for terminal cancer (along with the abortion episode)... wtf kind of crap is that? It's not even good science fiction. Curing terminal cancer in like 2 seconds? WTF? It was a ridiculously dumb choice (how predictable), although she's too good of an actress to kick off of the show. I'm glad they saved her, but it was stupid to do it like that. And what the heck does that mean for the Book of Pythia & all the other Kobol mythology?

I do like President Roslin's sinister side, though... she definitely shows a nice side as the public figure, and she can be really deviously political and calculating behind the scenes. She portrays an excellent President in a time of war... very political. Again, like so many other characters, you see her grow into her role... the development of the character and her relationships is just nice to watch.

The cliffhanger was very good. I was too busy thinking OMFG to catch all the details at the end (like Leoben showing up again... trying not to say too much about what goes on). I was also thinking "YEAH! F*K YOU BALTAR! YOU WERE WRONG AND YOU KNOW IT!"

[americanbychoice]

Cool...

Have to catch up on the webisodes first.
/had a couple weeks worth of webisodes to watch
//these guys do a lot of shouting for being an underground resistance...

EDIT:
Just watched that first part of the Season 3 episode. Wow.

One does wonder how the American populace would react to Occupation, seeing "Insurgent" acts happening at the start of Season 3. Of course, if the Insurgency mostly served to butcher one's fellow Americans (err, Iraqis, or whatever), then one would have to wonder about the righteousness of such an Insurgency...

I also wonder if Ron Moore self-edited the "t" word and replaced it with "Insurgent". It would probably be too controversial if they did use the "t" word.

Thanks for the link Ratamacue. Totally look forward to Oct 6th.

[Name Taken]

Back in college I watched a few episodes of the first season on DVD with my buddy but didn't really keep up with it. Last night I watched the USA story so far and got caught up, mostly.

I did see a few episodes recently, there was a badass battle against a Cylon ship that brought them back to life. Adama is a haus.

I think I'll try to follow the new season

[americanbychoice]

Ron Moore already stated it was a reflection on German of France during WW2, not a statement on Iraq.
That's good... otherwise, there'd be some drama out there if people thought it was an Iraq thing.

I wonder what the Germans called the French resistance... I'll have to look that up.


I did see a few episodes recently, there was a badass battle against a Cylon ship that brought them back to life. Adama is a haus.
Yeah, the Resurrection Ship. So much tension aboard the Galactica & Pegasus at the time... and then it all went away in a disappointing manner.

/here's to hoping Season 3 is more like the first season, and not as inconsistent as season 2

Ron Moore already stated it was a reflection on German of France during WW2, not a statement on Iraq.Actually, what I read in an interview with him was that the occupation isn't meant to be a direct allegory for any specific historical/current event, but rather takes influences and ideas from several, including France, Vietnam, and Iraq. One of the greatest things about the show is that despite its obvious relevance to current social/political issues, I've never seen them create a perfect parallel, but rather they tend to take elements, twist them, turn them around, etc.

A VERY quick video on what has happened so far in the series is up here...
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/storysofar/primer/

There's text that describes what happened in seasons 1 & 2 in more detail as well.

Season 3 begins tomorrow, October 6... so those who want to catch up & check out the series, that 3 minute video might be okay to start with (unless you want to download episodes illegally... I recommend the episode called "33", season 1 episode 1)

I think the Resistance webisodes have wrapped up now... they seemed pretty good, even as part of the show (not just web content).

Anyway, time to go to the "reading room"...
