Just finished watching this on Netflix. Man, sad to know it's over though. Baltar was my favorite of the character. I loved every story arc of his.
Episodes 7 and 8 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNHMfK65mnU[/media]
best char is defo baltar, cavil or commander adama; the rest are all great too but these have less whiny melodrama and more awesome scenes than any other
Cavil had potential but constantly came across as one dimensional. My favorite was Starbuck.
Tigh was a bro. That lawyer too.
[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38621205]boomer is just as fucked up as starbuck.[/QUOTE] without a doubt
[QUOTE=Swebonny;38659368]Tigh was a bro. That lawyer too.[/QUOTE] romo [editline]1st December 2012[/editline] i think cavil's one dimensionalness was to establish the one true hatesink of the series. cavil is by far the biggest asshole of all the cylons. i think they tried to make his character unrelatable. but still he's a wonderus character. his description of the time he was wounded (probably blown in half from the sound of it) and had to carve away at his jugular for hours with a spent shell casing... also that speech he gives about how much he hates the body he was given...
Also [sp]the way he goes out[/sp] Frak me
something that really creeped me out was this moment he lampshaded the fact that his relationship with [sp]boomer[/sp] was insestual.. or something like that. i just remember a really creepy moment where he subtly alludes to this fact. and he treats her like a pet too. in the end the fuckin cunt deserved worse... poor, poor poor poor tyrol is it just me or does he just get constantly fucked over? like one situation after another? does anything genuinely good ever happen to his character? looking back i'd say so. i think the characters i related to and liked the most were baltar and chief.
The weirdest relationship is [sp]when Cavil fucks his "mom" several times on New Caprica, and the later revelation that he was actually based biologically on her father. That's some shit.[/sp]
when was that last bit revealed? i don't think it's weirder though because the two of them both have no idea. with cavil's other relationship both are fully aware of the situation.
Finale [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH8EDRptVAQ[/media] Oh my god [sp]Proto-Six[/sp]
I don't know how old this video is, but I just found it, thought it was funny [url]http://videosift.com/video/Robot-Chicken-Battlestar-Galactica-vs-FCC[/url]
Haha, even tho it's silly they censored it out. I will admit it grew on me.

[sp]seriously? i always got the impression he was in the dark as to who they were, but sure as shit knew they existed and that they threatened his own agenda[/sp] [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Tuskin;38765404]I don't know how old this video is, but I just found it, thought it was funny [url]http://videosift.com/video/Robot-Chicken-Battlestar-Galactica-vs-FCC[/url][/QUOTE] WHO THE FRAK JARKED OFF IN MY FRAKKING COFFEEEEE!!! that's the best impression of tigh lol.
[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38893715][sp]seriously? i always got the impression he was in the dark as to who they were, but sure as shit knew they existed and that they threatened his own agenda[/sp] [/QUOTE] [sp]Didn't he argue with Hellen about all that shit that happened in their past? He's the one that put the final 5 in storage or whatever and hid them away. Then he made the other models / wiped the other model's existing memories of the 5[/sp] [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] at least that is what i got from it [editline]19th December 2012[/editline] To quote wikipedia [quote][sp]The Cavils' superior awareness of all situations (attributable to their being the only human model Cylon with full knowledge of their origin)[/sp][/quote] [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cavil[/URL]
yeah now that you mention that i seem to remember he was the one who [sp]boxed number 7[/sp] actually i'm certain he outright destroyed him so he could never come back
[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38900252]yeah now that you mention that i seem to remember he was the one who [sp]boxed number 7[/sp] actually i'm certain he outright destroyed him so he could never come back[/QUOTE] [sp]nope he wanted them alive and with the humans and shit so they could "learn a lesson."[/sp] You seriously need to watch it again since you either don't remember any of it or didn't understand any of it :v:
For anyone that hasn't seen it yet. Blood & Chrome premieres on Syfy tonight at 8pm EST. edit: And holy fuck was it bad. Lens flare and bloom ahoy, tired cliches ahoy, bad acting ahoy, no real potential for future plot lines. Glad it wasn't picked up.
I just finished the reboot series. Although at a point, I got confused and lost which Cyclon model was who since they all look the same
[QUOTE=Rong;39933171]I just finished the reboot series. Although at a point, I got confused and lost which Cyclon model was who since they all look the same[/QUOTE] I just went by names. Boomer shot Adama and became a slave to Cavil, Caprica 6 is the one you see most of the time on the Cylon base ship, Athena is the good Boomer. Really isn't that hard, they're all pretty unique even if they looks the same.
I've just started watching this a week ago after getting all the blurays. Currently nearly at the end of Season 2 when Baltar announces his presidency in light of the abortion controversy. This shit's friggin incredible. I feel bad because a while back I was trying to get into this and I watched the miniseries to start a few months ago. I was so bored about 45 minutes into it and turned it off, and didn't give it another chance until last week. I think it was probably just because I was trying to watch it at about 3am so I was tired. I'll admit that it was daunting in the first few episodes trying to learn everyone's name and personality because I had no idea what the hell was going on, really. But now that I know everyone and their personalities its so much better. Also I fucking love Sharon

I've heard about it so much, but I didn't really care about scifi shows, even thought I like scifi movies. Then I got Netflix and thought "meh how bad can it be" and suddenly holy fuck I could watch 5-6 episodes a day. I loved everything about this show. You'll see. And yeah Sharon is the hot. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] And another thing I liked about the show was the music. It was simply amazing.
Too bad that it pretty much all went to hell with the New Caprica arc and then it was just a few good episodes spread in between until the horrible finale.
I thought it was okay, it could get boring at times, but nothing "show ruining". The biggest complaint I had on the finale was [sp]the epilogue where they're back in "modern time"[/sp] really, could have just skipped it and left it a bit more open.
They should have ended it by reaching Modern Day Earth, then have a sequel series about Apollo blending in on Earth really badly, and call it "Galactica 2010" Oh. Wait. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] Have a peice of Music from Blood and Chrome [url]http://johndadlez.com/MP3/BG_BC/2_Galactica.mp3[/url] Its a version of the TOS Theme/Colonial Anthem
