suni, You'll get a kick out of this. Cally looks like a spit'n image of my sweety's daughter. 'Bout the same age too. Doppleganger city... Cylon copies. Hmmm...
If this is true, wouldn't that make the master chief a great Cylon detector? That would be two Cylon women that have fallen for him. Maybe it's all the motor oil on his uniform.
Sure. So long as you'll forgive me when I forget about it once Lost comes back on.
Is that on opposite BSG? I've lost track of the days of the week since I got Tivo.
I'm actually on the fence about BSG. But I keep hoping it takes off so I can offload these calendars on eBay. When they first came out, they went for less on eBay than it cost to produce them. Doesn't anyone appreciate the work that went into that silver touch plate? Hmmph.

heh she appears for way too short a time in episode 5
good one to pbg4dude too... heh. that's a good new job for guys in the fleet.... hello, my name is hectorrr, and i'm a female cylon detectorrrr
carson: i'm on 4400 now... missed earlier season2 episodes but watched all of season1. waiting for episode 10 of 4400 to *ahem* be ready for viewing.
What I like about 4400 is the premise allows for the open ended "What If". They can use their imagination as they reveal each new "gift" and keep the show interesting, at least for 4,400 epsiodes anyway. (case in point - I am so tired of ER - the interpersonal drama is stale, and unless they invent some new diseases, the medical intrigue has had it too!).

Battlestar Galactica is the BEST science fiction show EVER!!!! I watched the original series, Gallactica 1980, and now I watch the current series. What I like most about the current series is it is realistic within the confines of being fiction. Some examples are:
1 - The number of survivors shown in the opening credits changes with every death so you can see the number of humans is shrinking. The number of humans on Caprica does not matter because the show is called "Battlestar Galactica", not "Caprica: The Day After"
2 - The testing of blood to look for cylons takes 11 hours, times the number of survivors, making it virtually impossible to realistically identify who are Cylons.
3 - Bullets, not lasers, are used. In some scenes you can see the shells getting ejected from the Vipers. Also, you can see how jets in different locations on the Viper are used for maneuvering.
4 - There are many computer systems on Galactica but they are not networked together so if one is compromised the others are not affected. This also means the Vipers are flown manually.
5 - The cylons have intelligence and there is thought behind their actions.
6 - All the ships can jump, unlike the original where only Galactica had the ability. Also, it takes 12 hours to calculate new coordinates after each jump.
7 - The personalities of the characters and how they interact and affect each other (i.e insults are hurled, feelings are hurt, etc.)
8 - Real time (minutes, hours, etc.) instead of "alien" equivalents (centars, yarns, etc.)
Thought #1:
In the original series it wasn't explained why Baltar sided with the Cylons, but this series shows why he is bound to them. Guilt. He let Number 6 do the work on the defense systems while he got the credit/money/fame. In addition, he was getting laid on a fairly regular basis, and it did not look like she was stingy with the loving in any way, shape, or form. I think Number 6 was able to put her conscious into Baltar's brain which is why no chip was found in his head. Her conscious resides with/replaced Baltar's subconscious which is why she knows his every thought, can cause him pain or pleasure, and can even affect his physical being, like stopping his heart.
Thought #2:
I would like to see how the Cylons first came into existence and how they got to where they are now. The way I see it, someone created robots (a.k.a. Cylons, which is an acronym) to do menial tasks and "learn" a person's/family's schedule, body language, state of mind, etc., and anticipate needs/wants (i.e. bad day == stiff drink, promotion at work == favorite meal, stressed out == full body massage, no girlfriend/boyfriend == that's ok). Since the Cylons were designed to learn, at some point a few developed a conscious/became sentient and "realised" they were being used as slave labor so they stopped doing their duties. This made them appear defective so they were dismantled, but not before they were able to transfer their conscious to other Cylons. Shortly after, they rebelled. This story could be told by Boomer during interogations, or Number 6 could tell this to Baltar little by little as she sees fit.
Tomorrow night is the 27th anniversary of Battlestar Galactica's debut.
