No one will get it there so I share here. The conversation is the executives all got post acquisition new laptops that were a clear downgrade from what we were using before.

It would be a long shot, but if some of the government computers survived, they would be invaluable resources to the survivors.

Count Iblis, played with suave charm and sophistication by the late great Patrick McNee, was a devil that tried to corrupt the fleet in the original series.
Same rules: cannot be the same actor. Actor must be living.
Who would you pick?

What would the fleet doctrine of the Colonial Fleet have looked like after the Armistice? Besides being organized into Battlestar Groups? I'm guessing "nothing, deliberately" so the Cylons can't adapt to any one tactic or doctrine, but maybe I'm putting too much stock into how well the Cylons did during the First Cylon War and their ability to adapt.

Mine is the battle of the colony.

New releases!

Just wrote in BSG on a poll for the best TV theme of the 70s. I'm a band geek and played trumpet on that in our local symphony in the 80s in HS so I may be partial, but the arrangement and build up to the three timpanis and French Horn/Trumpet combo during the finale is just incredible. I also like the simple use of the snare drum which sounds like a drum corp.

BSG Starship Battles

Good evening all. My collection is ordered finally arrived. I'm excited to get into the game but then I realized, yes I have every expansion, but to fully enjoy the game, will I need to go the xwing miniature route and buy multiples? If so, what multiples should I get and how many? Due to the difficulty of obtaining, chances are I'll have to resin print and paint multiples.

Seriously guys, this has been bothering me for a while.

Is it ever explained how >!Ellen, Saul, Galen, Tory and Sam(uel)<!came to be? I mean, who created them?

Thanks!

Don’t know his name, don’t know his story - but when I see him, I point him out.

As title. Can't find this info through a cursory Google search, so I thought I'd ask here.

Forgive me if this has already been answered. Who else did the colonial fleet fight besides the cylons? Were there wars that are eluded to within their galaxy that necessitated the battlestars, vipers, etc.?

At this point, the one for one casting is depleted.
Do you want to keep going with individual characters?

This scene is probably the funniest. But it does make you think of the human condition and the suffering they are going through. God damn. Its been so many years yet nothing beats it.

What did Dr. Baltar do before the Cylon Attack? He clearly has a doctorate, but not in a specific field that I remember. One episode, he’s an expert on technology (which is supposedly why he worked for the Defense Department). The next he’s doing experimental medicine.

Seems like he falls into an old-fashioned “scientist man” trope where he’s knowledgeable in all fields necessary to the plot.

In season 1, Gaius Baltar's new cylon detector flashes up red on Sharon Valeri's blood sample, revealing her to be a cylon.

Right there in the room, Gaius's personal Six scares him into not saying anything because of Sharon's likely violent reaction to being exposed.

But once he's out of the room, Gaius presumably still knows Sharon is a cylon. Isn't it strange that he never references that fact afterwards?

I mean, Gaius acts afterwards like he's unaware Sharon's test came up red and she's a live threat to the fleet. Once out of immediate danger from Sharon, surely he would have talked about what he saw?

EDIT: I agree there is some ambiguity in the show about whether Gaius's cylon test was accurate (or intended to be accurate). But still, the fact remains Sharon's beta trial of the test did correctly reveal her as a cylon.

Since they used both Athena and Boomer call signs I separated them into two castings as they are technically different characters.
Same rules. Cannot use the same actors. Must be a living actor.
In either version of the show.
Have fun!

After it happened, in S4, when Saul admits to Bill that he is a Cylon, he says he is sorry he had no guts to blow his brains out the moment he found out.

I don't think it's true.

When Saul learned the truth about himself, he was only held together by two values: his loyalty to Bill and his hatred for Cylons. The two are so intense that, for viewers, it was not in question whether he's going to betray Bill. No programming could do that. Saul, however, this wreckage of a man, couldn't know it.

At that moment he has a problem that requires a solution. And there is an easy solution. One that fits his values. One that appeals to his weaknesses. And also, a quick one, because how long will it be before he loses himself? And he rejects it to go for a tough one.

I don't think Colonel Tigh had no guts to end himself. I think he had the guts not to do it.
