Battlestar Galactica - Series 2 (Sky One)

[TheBlueRaja]

Just resurecting this thread now that nobody can spoil it - with details of upcoming episodes or crap jokes - but what did everyone think then?

Personally a really good series, with its high point being the 3 episode run with return of the Pegasus and the strike on the ship where the cylons get rejuvinated.

But perhaps thats because i think Michelle Forbes who played the total hardass Admiral Cain (or Ensign Ro from ST:TNG) is a total hunnie! I've been slobbering over her for years....

Anyhoo enough slobbering - whats going to happen now in series three then?

Do you think this fleet which invaded New Caprica is in fact the Friendly Cylons that "Al" talked about (Quantum Leap fans know who i mean). Or is there some other shenannigans at work?

Cant wait already!

I think the best the New Capricans can hope for is that these are an enlightened group of Cylons led by the 'heroes' who wish to rule and educate them rather than destroy them. Muchos opportunity for resistance cell plotlines etc.

I did like this series. And thanks for telling me where I'd seen Admiral Cain before!

A fantastic series,

But how are they going to get everybody back into space whilst surrounded by Cylons?

I mean they have to get back on the road to Earth because that is the premise of the whole show.

It will be very interesting but I will place a wager with you now.

Whatever happens I bet it involves the destruction of the Pegasus. Afterall the show is called Battlestar Galactica.

Yeah, but i think the Pegasus was also in the original series as well. Now as to what happened to it in that show i have no idea (and dont really want to either), but it would be a shame i think.

Either way - there is also practically nobody on board any of the ships, they said most of the pilots and crews etc were down on the ground.

I cant see any way out of this unless they were frendlies (and if they werent why didnt they just nuke them and lauch fighters at the fleet as soon as they arrived?) but then thats what makes it a cliffhanger i suppose.

In TOS the Pegasus was in it for two episodes, (made into a film also called Battlestar Galactica - The Cylon Attack) They had a dual attack on a Cylon base somehow they became separated the Galactica then buggered off and most of the Pegasus Viper pilots went with the Galactica.

The Pegasus went off in the other direction, but was not destroyed.

Then in a later episode, Patrick McNee (The voice of the imperious leader) was in it as the Devil/satan whatever. Count Iblis I think his name was.

It was revealed in that that he had led the pegasus to it's destruction.

Hmmm - Ok, well - its survived a little more than a couple of episodes already so thats a good sign, but you could be right, I hope its not though.

I saw an interview recently by the guy who plays Gius Baltar and he was saying (although admittedly he is going to bum it up as much as possible) that the first few episodes of the next series are pretty dark and pretty grim.

I wonder if that means that you see more of Adama with that tash!

Some of the best episodes are the ones like the 36 mins one where they are just on the edge of falling apart - where it looks like thats it - were done and so close to the edge. Hopefully this will turn out to be more of the same.

The first few eps of series 3 are about them resisting the cylon occupation, but they will be free of the planet by the end of S3

Seriously mate - please drop it - you managed to single handedly ruin this thread and also any chat during the entire series by posting in here when you have no intention of discussing the show.

If your going to be serious then fine, but if your just going to come in here and go on the wind up then please leave as your spoiling it for others.

The first thread on Season one had about 10 pages to it, this one has three most of which is you on the wind up.

considering spoiler tags are available, I don't disagree with that & would have preferred not to have seen the 'insight'...

Its not an insight though as he's just on the wind-up as far as i know. But thats my point, folk dont want to see it wither way.

Try reading your own posts before spouting drivel about other peoples.

My post was intended to start a serious discussion, yours was a daft attempt at a wind up.

Once again - your spoiling the thread.

Tell you what mate - you win, i will go off elsewhere and have a chat about this rather than here.

Congrats mate.

Finally got around the watching the new BSG for the first time tonight.

Watched the pilot & the 1st ep of season one (the "33 minute" episode).


Great stuff!


Loving it so far.

OK, so Starbuck & Boomer are women, & Adama's played by the origami guy from Blade Runner instead of the old guy from Bonanza, but who cares. It's great.

Great cast, great FX, no camp cheesiness. Good stuff.

I think that they would have had trouble getting Lorne Greene to appear as Adama
