Yes, but that leads me to believe there's some non-living bits inside the human-cylons. And non-living bits might be detectable, ya know?Skylon wrote:Galactica Boomer could still be essentially a "hot-michrophone" for lack of a better term.

Well it's an "all series" wiki which segregates the entries for subjects. The mentioning of the 13th tribe leaving after the others was referenced as "Mini Series".LadyTevar wrote:as for the BSG Wiki... make sure that's for neo-BSG, not oldBSG. IIRC, that information was true for the original.
Funny thing is that after watching all the stuff in the TV series I still don't feel much urge in watching the Miniseries.

I would recommend it. If you have enjoyed the series so far and aren't a fanatical Old BSG purist (as most who commented on it here were apparently), you'll probably like it. It makes some of the earlier episodes clearer, and contains some of the better scenes of the series IMO.Funny thing is that after watching all the stuff in the TV series I still don't feel much urge in watching the Miniseries.

It's possible he'd hate it too. I love the series, and to think I almost missed it because the mini sucked balls so bad.Noble Ire wrote:I would recommend it.

The mini was hit and miss. Several great scenes but alot of boooring stretches in between.Knife wrote:It's possible he'd hate it too.

From what I've seen, people who got into the series without watching the Mini, then who saw the Mini rather liked it. Its mostly people who saw the Mini first, then the series who dislike the Mini.
I myself saw the first two episodes of BSG before I saw the Mini (truth be told I only saw the second half of the Mini) and what I saw of the Mini looked very good and felt just like the series. I liked some of the chilling moments like when Apollo has the fleet jump and leave behind the non-jump capable ships. You hear them pleading over the radio asking for cordinates to try and head to at sub-light speed. Then just as they are preparing to jump, a massive Cylon strike force enters the area and launches a barrage of missiles to wipe out the ships. All those people, dead.

That's somewhat like myself. I thought I'd give "33" a shot despite a lot of negative word about neo-BSG on the net... and I thought "WTF?!? That was the tightest TV show script I've ever seen."Alyeska wrote:From what I've seen, people who got into the series without watching the Mini, then who saw the Mini rather liked it.

A few weeks later I saw the first half of the mini and I thought "What a slow-moving show, compared to the series!"
After "Kobol's Last Gleaming" I finally saw the whole mini through, only then I found out that while the mini wasn't a stinker, it had a lot of missed storytelling opportunities. All the character interaction weren't as snappy as the writing on the series and they didn't show as much tell us that there was a nuclear holocaust going on.
I was hardly thrilled about the prospect of the new BSG. I was hardly a fan of the old one to begin with. Watched the mini mainly because my roommates were, but I was pretty damn cranky having mono at the time and all. Thought it had some potential, but again I was cranky so I think I short-changed it.
Watched "Bastille Day", then dug up the previous two episodes and felt myself sucked into a sci-fi show in a way I hadn't since Babylon 5 ended.
On re-watching the mini, it was a very good pilot, and did a great job setting the series up and even stands alone nicely.

*shrug* if you say so. I think that the series is a better quality of story telling that makes the mini pale in comparison. If the series were of the same caliber of the mini, I'd not watch it.Spyder wrote:You know, in most cases people tend to like something, then once the honeymoon period is over they manage to convince themselves that they really hate it.

I am starting to get the feeling that the Earth the Colonials have found is a Cylon fabrication.
It is however a trap, set carefully and deliberatly by the Cylons. It is just far enough out for Boomer to have her child before the fleet arrives. Once the Cylons have the child, the commandment from their god to reproduce has been completed and they are free to wipe out the fleet at large.

I have a theory, but as I've hear rumors of this as a spoiler before I'm going to protect it. The folowing broken link is to an image of the URL of an image that has the spoiler/theory in it. Thus if you don't want to read it there is not way you can

Something I was thinking about after the episode ended: according to the prophecy, Roslin only has to find the path to Earth before she dies. Well, they've got the path now. Does that make her expendable?
"And the sign said, 'Anybody caught tresspassing, will be shot on sight.' So I jumped over the fence and yelled at the house, 'Hey! What -'" BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM
That might have been the original intention, but presumably no longer is. The special Sci-Fi ran on nBSG some months ago included an interview with the actress stating that the President was originally going to die relatively early in the series, but as the first season progressed, Moore and the other execs on the show thought that there was "more to explore about the character" or words to that effect. The implication I took from that is that the character will be around for awhile.Thag wrote:Something I was thinking about after the episode ended: according to the prophecy, Roslin only has to find the path to Earth before she dies.

Fucking AWESOME!
Six fucking with Baltar just to get her shits and giggles. Zareck continuing to be the butt-monkey of the show. Boomer mixing truth and lies willy-nilly. Dr Coddle!
Okay what we know for certain; Cylon's do indeed upload when they die, but the point of 'death' is a bit unclear. Boomer 'claims' that she doesn't know anything about what the 'other' Boomer did, and yet she manages to make the old man's blood go cold with four little words.
Is Boomer really free of any 'sleeper' programs though? I don't think so, not convinced yet.
Poor Chief/Helo. Can anyone say 'awkward'?

She just knows he wants to find out the truth behind it. Or maybe I'm the only one that managed to follow it like that, if anyone disagrees, I expect boot licking when we find out I'm right later on in the series

Just saw it...
Might Six be something other than a Cylon? This series' version of Count Iblis, perhaps? The physical one we saw in the mini might be a real Humanocylon (since we've seen more of her on Caprica), but are there any real evidence that shows us whatever Baltar's imaginary Six learns affects the rest of the Cylons in any manner?
Oh, and "Fracking hypochondriacs! There's one on every bloody ship!".
Priceless.
