Battlestar Gallactica

Update - February 11th
Last nights episode was about the head of Security going off on a wild goose chase to pin a bombing on the Gallactica by a Cylon human lookalike on whomever she can embarrass. Of course, she zeroed in on the chief rightaway and used his romance with the true Cylon agent as a tool to get one of his crew to lie and finally go down for the bombing. Bad for him. This episode was unexciting and irrelevant. Besides the side trip to Caprica and seeing that the Cylon human lookalikes are monitoring Helo's behavior from a distance (of course he has no idea they are watching him - although, if I were him, I'd be wondering why I don't see more bodies or cylons wondering around the streets of the capital.) Anyway, it seems implausible that he can wonder the streets and not see anyone...

What exactly is the purpose of the cylon's playing with Helo? Are they getting ready to fashion his DNA into another series of robots? Are they going to attempt to re-program him? Or maybe they want to use him strictly for experiments to test the human psychology and determine more about their enemy and what the next move by the human race might be?

I think next week we are going to finally see more Cylon's on board the Gallactica. I can't figure out what the intent is of both the humanoids in the fleet and the humanoids on Caprica. Not sure where these story threads are leading.

Has anyone been watching this??!?!?!?

What an amazing series this will be. I can't wait to see what the Episode 33 will lead to. The 33 has to be a key that can be used against the Cylon's. Originally, I thought it had to do with their processor speed or something, but now I'm inclined to think it has something to do with their update to the mother brain (their God).

Episode Water was cool. How's Boomer going get away with being a Cylon that looks human?

And why do they keep going back to Helo on Caprica? What is the significance of that and why did they place a Boomer copy with him while sacrificing the prettier Cylon blond?

I've been thinking about why they are covering HELO on Capria so much. It baffles me the significance of this thread in the story.

And what about Starbuck? Will she survive her fiery re-entry into some foreign planet? I'll be they find that Cylon ship intact and a few Cylon's on it to take apart and see what makes them tick. Isn't that pretty close to what happened on the original Battlestar Galactica? Only they took them apart and still didn't know how they worked. I should put in a call and tell them its "electrons".

Update - February 5th.
Okay... so Starbuck commandeered a Cylon Raider ship and discovered they don't have a pilot but are in essence nothing more than a shell with a biological control system and brain internally. Don't need all the comforts of home to pilot this rugged ship!! Now the crew can tear apart this ship and biological parts (hope Starbuck didn't throw the brain out on the moon - they might need to study it) and see what makes it tick. Secondly, how does the biological ship communicate with the mothership and other Raiders to coordinate? Thirdly, are we going to finally figure out what the biologicals are made like???? In other words, are we going to be able to determine how to tell the cylon humanoids from humans? Lastly, how long can we expect the President to live before succumbing to her cancer and getting tied into an election where the candidate's want to countermand the military leaders and take control of the fleet?

The plot seesm to be heading the same general direction as the prior series in the late 70's. I still get to see re-runs occassionally and laugh at how silly it was after seeing all the current special effects that can be created. Wow. I love this series. Great for a Friday Night!!

Stay tuned Starfighters!!
