Well this is the live thread for Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica.. Basically for people who lives in the Eastern and Central times zones. There will be another thread for the Western Time Zone...

So say we all..

[nuke rocketeer]

My prediction.....Lee dies with Pegasus taking out two base stars....He sends a pregnant Duella out in a raptor to Galactica......

[oceanview]

yes, that would parallel the end of the pegasus from the original TV series. makes sense.

QUESTION:

This current BSG has changed the music over opening titles.

Do you know what the artist, or name of the CD or where I can find the original music?


It sounded very similar but was more mysterious and haunting.

[misterrob]

who's Duella's baby daddy, Lee or Helo?

[misterrob]

Aren't they supposed to lose characters this season?

[oceanview]

not sure.

The nice thing about Directv is that you get to see it at 6 and 8.

I dont know if that was the best ever. I thought her best scene was one of the first; when she slugged Col Tye.

If it had been this season's Col. Tigh, he'd have ripped her arm off, taken a couple of bites out of it, and beat her to death with what was left.

This is one scary guy. We finally get to see why Adama keeps the old boy around.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

In any other time this story line would not matter but with the war on islamicism in the background I can't see this as anything but a hit job on the West.

Why would they do a hit job on the Islamofasciasts? None of them watch Battlestar Galactica.

FWIW, Ronald Moore the producer has stated that the occupation was modeled after the Nazi occupation of France in WWII.

From what i have seen so far, Tigh is the only guy on that planet who is actually thinking.

This is one scary guy. We finally get to see why Adama keeps the old boy around.

Yet again, he gets undone by his scheming wife. Also too, he handles the reins with heavy hands. When the Cylons attacked the twelve colonies, he would have gone back. When Adama was shot, he declared martial law, taking down the civil government. He certainly has the guts to make the tough calls, but he'll bite off his own nose despite his face at times, meaning his command lacks balance.

Hammer is going to get caught..

His call sign's, "Jammer."
Closed Captioning works great when the kids are going insane during BSG.

[RandallFlagg]

"The Imperious Leader Erebus, from the Battlestar Galactica videogame."

Excellent game. I'm a big fan of space combat simulation gaming. There's a group using the Freespace 2 source code to make a BGS videogame independently (which means it'll be free for everyone to download and play).

Interesting

[trashcanbred]

Tigh is the only guy on that planet who is actually thinking.

I am wondering what he will do about his wife though. She did betray them and he is always hard on others when it comes to sacrificing their loved ones.

But you are right he is the only guy thinking.

"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans.

"They may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis.

"Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens..."

Sorry, I hate to burst your bubble, but we're the off-spring of cosmic telephone sanitizers, marketing dweebs, and hair dressers, who crashed on the earth long ago, screwing everything up. How else can you explain the DNC, members of moveon.org, and the DUmmies?

[MarkL]

who's Duella's baby daddy, Lee or Helo?

Did I miss something here? I thought that Sharon was "Mrs Helo." I was surprised at the dialog between Duella and Helo on the hanger deck.

Re: Lucy Lawless Yes she was featured as a Cylon on Caprica in a couple of shows lasr season. She's a better actress than I had thought in Xena,

She was the reporter in the episode where they had the reporter going throughout the ship, following everyone around, and it was revealed at the end that she was a Cylon. And I think that she's much hotter as a blonde.

This actor... finally found a role that fits his quirky acting style...

I thought he was great in Quantum Leap.

But I have to admit that he was really awesome in his first scenes with "the Chief." Not what you'd normally expect from a priest...
