Battlestar Gallactica
Update - March 20th
The plot thickens further. The President gets her candidate in as V.P.... but who was the assassin working for? I was thinking her former V.P. candidate and not the bad guy we all thought.
Helo found out there were Cylon's that looked like Boomer and promptly got out of Dodge and away from the Boomer Cylon. And we know she is a Cylon because we saw her spine glow red like all the other humanoid cylons. He really booked when he made the connection. So the two part season finale will leave a cliff hanger with him alone, cold and hungry on the run on Caprica. I wonder if he can fly a ship and get off the planet like he was planning?
The President probably will survive into next season. At least until her six month term is ending. Have you noticed only about 40 days have passed since the initial Cylon invasion?
The fleet has been replenishing its Vipers and pilots... seems implausible, but the writers must think we are either stupid or don't pay attention to those details.
Here is my prediction for a cliff hanger... the fleet gets cornered somehow and must battle it out against at least one Battlestar.... remember the original series when one of the last episodes was them surprising and finally taking out a Battlestar? They've got no resources except what is with them on Gallactica... so re-taking some lost colonies and beginning the war anew is not plausible. You saw what Caprica looked like.... no bodies, no odor of bodies.... I wonder what happened to all the people? Did they get killed or imprisoned? I know a large percentage disappeared in the cataclism, but you'd think there would have been some survivors squirreled away somewhere in hiding.
Here's a plot twist I'd like to see... an underground guerrila movement in the colonies against the Cylons. People like you and me banding together with their own skills attempting to eck out their lives under threat of anniliation, but somehow surviving week to week, day to day. And then having helo get connected with them somehow on Caprica.
Update - March 11th
So now, maybe the 33 minutes episode is beginning to make more sense? Perhaps the Cylons were attempting to run the fleet out of fuel and force them to make a last stand and wipe them out.
Well, now they've got enough fuel to go several years without refueling. Previously, they targeted water which was also at a critical stage. What is next? Foodstuffs?
The Caprica story line continues. Helo is beginning to realize there are many of the same model Cylons. And of course, it looks like the Boomer Cylon with him might be pregant. The wifee thinks that is what the Cylons wanted. But I'm sure they could have gotten a sample from pretty much any willing male before the war. So the significance of Helo escapes me.
The rookie Viper pilots did well and not so well. Many bit the big one, but a few got bloodied enough that they will probably be pretty good in the future. Funny how the Galactica never seems to run out of Vipers, yet we see a few or many more get whacked in every episode.
The President is getting worse. I expect her to die in the middle of next season. Yes, I think this will continue for several seasons, not like the original that died after one. They were all Barbie and Ken dolls as I remember. They seem more like real people now.
The SciFi Channel has done a superb job on this series.
February 15th.
The plot thickens.
You have to wonder what the purpose of the Caprica story line is all about. Especially now that Boomer and Helo have gotten intimate. Perhaps they needed more than a blood sample to get his DNA. I'm wondering if we will see Boomer disappear again, then in coming episodes we see Helo copies begin to show up as cylon model 13's. How many different types of Cylon's are there? Didn't they say there were 12?
#1 -Soldier Cylon
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6 - The blonde type (One killed initially in the mini-series during the first encounter with man on that far away space station where they are supposed to meet every year or so. One was killed on Caprica in white jacket, one is following Boomer, one is in or near the fleet and was on the Gallactica for awhile.)
#7 - Boomer (One on Gallactica, one on Caprica)
#8 - The media guy (I think we've seen at least three copies now - one blew up, one left on the space station, one on Caprica.)
#9 - Space Station Guy (One killed on the space station, one following Boomer on Caprica)
#10
#11
#12 - I'm thinking the fighter ship is Model 12 since it was semi-organic.
Didn't the blonde say something to Baltar at some point early after the attacks began about how many copies there were of each model? She did say there were 12 models didn't she?
I'm thinking Baltar is actually a cylon model himself and he does not know it yet. At first I thought he had an implant in his head and he was seeing something as a result of that implant, but the technology for that seems incredible to me for that. LESSOR things have been known to occur I suppose.
