So is Boomer on board the Galactica a Cylon or is she a human?

dammit im just so annoyed that there were absolutely no clues pointing that way -- I was more under the impression that it was either the prez' aide billy or the crewman (crewwoman?) givin him the play...
Well, they're fatalistic ancestor-worshipping religious nuts. But that's okay, they're being pursued by a bunch of religious fundamentalist nutcase androids.Uraniun235 wrote:Boy, they sure like hammering in the "Maybe we deserve to be annihilated." theme, don't they?
If you're refering to the tinytext spoiler stuff... I agree. Just make a spoiler thread already! This copy and paste into Notepad gets old quick...Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Damn it, does this have to turn into one of these threads...
Well, the Cylons have been away for almost half a century, undoubtedly working infiltrators into human society. I suppose all these infiltrators would've had some effect, but it doesn't excuse some of the idiocy shown by the Colonials.RogueIce wrote:If you're refering to the tinytext spoiler stuff... I agree.

If that's not what you're talking about, oh well. I just needed to say that anyway. :)
I kinda liked it myself. Lack of a soundtrack pissed me off (aside from some wierd drum stuff), but it's sort of mitigated by the fact the original (I think the original) BSG soundtrack is apparently on sale now. Granted, all I've seen of it were the SciFi reruns I managed to catch, but it was decent.
There were some decent bits in this miniseries, mostly in the slower, "look at the casaulties/crew" parts.
And now I understand why they want to find Earth! Though maybe that's along the same lines as in the original, too. Having never seen the pilot, I always thought they jumped out after Earth went boom, and now wanted to go back for some reason. Evidently not though. Oh well.
And as to giving away the codes to some chick he "barely" met, I do remember them saying that he knew her for two years. So there was definately some preplanning into this...and maybe she, through him, pushed the Colonials into the uber-netowrk idea? Just a thought...
It's all a clever set up for the eventual series.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:I'm just pissed that it feels like there should still be another episode or two left.

They didnt seem to be nukes in the final battle. Did anyone notice that. Why would'nt the Basestar use them and how come the Galactica didnt fire some big anti-ship missile back?Spanky The Dolphin wrote:I believe it was stated in the programme that they were nukes.Typhonis 1 wrote:anyone else notice they were using missles as the primary long range weapons?

I'm guessing at least six to maybe 12 or 16 missiles per raider.Getting an accurate number is a bit hard as the camera doesn't stick with one raider enough to know, Or the raider(s) either switch weapons after firing a set, or it destroyed.SylasGaunt wrote:and how many damn missiles do those Raiders carry yeesh..
Well the first missile they hit the Galactica with was a nuke, the missile launched Colonial 1 was a nuke, and the ones they hit the civvie transports with were nukes. The only thing they don't seem to use nukes on is other fighters (and I noticed they did a lot of cutting in the final battle sequence so we didn't actually see the missiles detonate, or if we did it was just a split-second glimpse.Typhonis 1 wrote:anyone else notice they were using missles as the primary long range weapons?

Oh please! If there isn't a new series, it will be due to the failure of the revival pilot on its merits —or lack thereof.RogueIce wrote:Either that or we will forever be left hanging, because the ratings weren't good enough.

Unless someone here is actually working for them, it's highly unlikely the viewership of this board would have any impact at all on the Nielson ratings for any TV show.RogueIce wrote:Either that or we will forever be left hanging, because the ratings weren't good enough.

Actually, it is... in the original, the Galactica and her refugee fleet go looking for Earth after the 12 Colonies were destroyed by the Cylons.And now I understand why they want to find Earth! Though maybe that's along the same lines as in the original, too. Having never seen the pilot, I always thought they jumped out after Earth went boom, and now wanted to go back for some reason.

No, the Cylons never launched a nuke at Colonial One. Apollo tied the ship's EMP generators into it's FTL drives to simulate a nuclear blast so the Cylons would go away.SylasGaunt wrote:Well the first missile they hit the Galactica with was a nuke, the missile launched Colonial 1 was a nuke, and the ones they hit the civvie transports with were nukes.
