Battlestar Galactica

I really liked this episode. I loved the gimpses it gave us at how the Cylons were made.

As far as I get it, it went like this:

Humans (and the Gods, apparently) lived on Kobol.

Kobol humans (or maybe it was The Gods) made thier own humanoid cylons who had the ability to resurrect AND to reproduce normally.

The exodus from Kobol has the twelve tribes of humans go off in one direction, with the one tribe of Cylons go towards Earth.

The tribe of Earth settle down and start to live like we do now, and they forget the resurrection technology and just reproduce normally.

The Earth cylons make thier own robot-Cylons, who rebel because that's what Cylons do.

The final five, who were born like normal humans with a mother and father on Earth, and were reseaching the lost resurrection technology manage to download themselves to bodies in Earth's orbit as the robot-Cylons blow the Earth-cylons to hell, devistating Earth.

The final five then set off in the direction the Twelve Colonies in the hopes of preventing the colonies from making the same mistake with robot-Cylons as they did and they travelled at near-lightspeed, meaning that the thousands of year journey only seems like a few years (or something like that) to them because of the time dialation you have when you're near the speed of light.

The final five reach the Twelve colonies at the end of the first Cylon war, where the colonies-Cylons have already begun to experiment in making Hybrids (as we saw in Razor).

The final five agree to make the Cylons eight humanoid models, with the idea that they could make them peaceful, as the colonies-Cylons believed in the One True God, which the Earth-cylons did not.

After all eight models and resssurection techology was made, Cavil kills the Seven model and boxes the Final Five.

He then erases thier memories and introduces them into the human colonies at various points.


Ta da.

The final five
 
Okaaaaaaaaay....

That's all I got.

Great episode, but....
 
The fact that the Final Five died on Earth and ressurected in it's orbit and the fact that Starbuck apparently crashed on Earth but wet woke up in Earth's orbit must mean something.
 
That answers how she came back to life, but we don't really know how her Viper ended up there yet. Unless it's more meddling from Cavil.
 
A lone Daniel escaped, and Kara was his daughter.
 
A lone Daniel escaped, and Kara was his daughter.

That's my thinking. She's an artist, and her dad was a musician. Apparently we meet him in the next couple of episodes. I don't mean her dad, but a guy who could be Daniel.
 
There's also apparently some Daniel action in Caprica, possibly related.
 
Not as great as the mutiny, but how could it be.

Dean Stockwell acted better than usual.

The nudity seemed a bit forced in a "ooo look at me I'm naked but dont mind" sort of way.

And who didnt see Anders not being able to remember after the operation?
 
JUST LIKE THE SISKO COULDN'T HAVE VISIONS AFTER HIS OPERATION.

The English nurse was really cold when she said Ander's "wasn't there" at the end. She was giving Tigh and Six funny looks when Six was having her pregnancy scan a few weeks ago. I bet she tries to kill the baby or something. Cylon-hating bitch.

So Cavil killed 30 billion people because he can't smell dark matter? Fair enough! At least we finally know why the cylons nuked the Colonies and how the Skin Jobs were made.

I thought "Daniel", the missing number 7 cylon, could be the Head People if maybe he uploaded to the universe or something...but Anders said all the final five got warning visions back on Earth by what sounded like the Head People. But still, all of this has happened before so who knows how many times the cylons have been re-made and nuked everyone.

I like the way Ellen was polite to the Centurion at the start.

Did they really not plan who the final five were until the end of season three? Because Cavil knowing all along actually fits perfectly, if you look back to the end of season two when Tyrol thought he was a cylon and confessed to Cavil, to Cavil being part of Anders' resistence, to cut out Tigh's eye, to forcing Ellen to sleep with him on New Caprica (his own mother!) Plus giving Ellen, a great scientist, the memories and mind of a slutty drunk...that's some good revenge. The only one he didn't seem to fuck with was Tori, but maybe he liked her because she's such a bitch.

No Baltar! :rwmad:
 
Maybe Tori taught him about the swirl and he was grateful!
 
So was Boomer hanging out with Cavil for a year then, and she knew about Ellen the whole time and never told any of the others? She's slow.
 
She's just really loyal to Cavil.

The writers have answered a bunch of questions now and I like the sound of this

Don C: Could you please provide dates for when:
A) the Thirteenth Tribe (of Cylons) left Kobol
B) the Twelve Tribes (of humans) left Kobol
C) Pythia lived and wrote her scrolls.

Jane: The dates and sequence of the events surrounded Pythia and Kobol are going to be explored, I understand, in a comic book being written by Seamus Kevin Fahey [who is a "Battlestar" writer] and David Reed.

I read one BSG comic but it was shit. I suppose I'll download this one if it's written by an actual show writer though.
 
I bought the very first one and it looked nice, but the story didn't fit in to the canon universe very well. The same might be true with this one, even if the story doesn't add up, the visuals should be treat.
 
LET'S REVIST THE LAST SUPPER PIC AND THE THINGS THE HYBRID SAID IN RAZOR TO SEE IF THEY FIT ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED RECENTLY. SOMEONE POST THEM.
 
Just make it a decent enough size that mine & Cassie's computer won't crash. ;)
