For those of you who missed the BSG top ten list on Letterman last night, it's on YouTube. And yes, Number Six did number six. <grin>

I'm not sure how I feel about "Caprica" being given the green light. I do wonder what made them change their minds after shelving it a year ago. BSG is one of the last one or two "ships in space" Sci-Fi shows, and I'm going to miss that. I'd hoped that whatever succeeded it would be another show about a Battlestar, in some way shape or form. How exciting can a show be about life on Caprica? What's the plot or real conflict?
I'm excited about their version of Alice in Wonderland though. That should be interesting.

I was too young back then to know. All I remember is my brother turning DS9 on one day and because he watched it, I watched, and eventually I became hooked (though I think it took a couple seasons to really take off for me).
But, if that's what people were saying before DS9, then I see good reason to be hopeful for "Caprica." I'm interested in what they'll do with it, I'm just mildly skeptical. But hey, it's BSG, so I'm going to watch it regardless. Posts: 21898 | Registered: Nov 2004

Caprica is going to be, ostensibly, about the Adama family, but the backdrop is going to include things like the development of the Cylons, and possibly the beginnings of their insurrection.

I just noticed something interesting in the final episode of season three, although I'm not sure how significant it is. When they are all humming the tune together, Tigh yells out "That's enough, God d--n it". Throughout the series, they've been pretty consistent in having the characters say gods d--n it. If this is more than a slip, it seems that despite their estrangement from the rest of the Cylons, the final five share the same religion. It also makes you wonder how much new knowledge was unlocked with the revelation that they are cylons. If it is enough to make them "realize" the cylon religious views, there is probably a lot more along with it. It's definitely going to be interesting to see where this leads.
Edit: Then again, he goes back to gods later on when he is talking about Ellen. Maybe it was just a slip, or I heard it wrong.

I watched the podcast for the trial episode and Ron Moore confirms the death toll for the 12 Worlds stands at 51 billion. They actually had a whole scene where the prosecuting attorney goes into it, but for time they cut it and actually had to digitally erase the numbers from the top of the dry-erase board. BUT they missed it for a beat when Lampkin is talking and you can see the 51 billion on the board behind him.

It'll be amusing if Ellen turns out to be the last Cylon, and she actually gets to yell at Saul for killing her.

I just rewatched it. He says it in plural. Sorry.

I think that Starbuck's mother is more likely, too. There's the whole destiny thing, as well as Starbuck's return from death (though rumor has it that it may not be a Cylon-style resurrection).

Yeah, I caught the unambiguous one right after I posted here. To me, the one I was talking about still sounds like it is singular, but even if it is I doubt that there is anything significant about it. I suppose I just jumped the gun on posting here.

Entirely doable. At least, that's what I'm hoping, since I have to finish my latest rewatch in the same amount of time. Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

Yeah Megabyte, with all the big ships getting destroyed...and the ominous "how many people can we kill, 30 thousand"...looks like the human race could be for most part gone.

Yeah! Well, the human race was pretty much gone anyway... but now, there will be ridiculously few left. Then again... I suppose that's the point, huh?
