good to hear that Ron Moore's writing the series finale... i certainly wouldn't say no to more Galactica movies if they enhance the final season... one wonders what these movies would be about? probably individual character studies, like Razor... maybe one dealing with the Cylons, or one about the final Cylon (if he/she is revealed by then)... good news, we'll see if it comes together
Very cool.

Tell me they're seriously not still entertaining the notion of holding Galactica eps 11-20 for 2009? The suits at Scifi keep managing to surprise me with their awesome direction for the network and complete lack of caring for their viewers.

I hope Moore doesn't kill everyone off, that would be a pretty crap ending. And after all the shit Moore talked about Voyager, they'd better not reach Earth in the final few seconds of the last episode...

you know, the ones that live on the cylon homeworld.. or are we to believe that the ENTIRE cylon race upped and left to hunt down galactica?

Loved Razor but how many loose ends can they tie up in TV movies? One focusing on the Cylons would be awesome. Following the Cylon decision to attack Earth would be interesting. Anything set in the First Cylon War would be awesome. Hmm.

Razor had its moments, but it ultimately felt forced and I found it difficult to get back into a s2 mind-set at the end of s3. 3 more of backwards-looking TVM's might be pushing it. It sounds like some exec has realized BSG is a decent show just as they're reaching the end, and is trying to squeeze extra mileage out of it while they still can. Still, I trust RDM to make it work and take heed of lessons learned from Razor (i.e, make the TVMs less confusing and straightforward).

I'm with you Gotham, I thought Season 4 would go more in that direction, old school cylons /centurions fighting the skinjobs. What is happening instead is a bunch of convoluted BS. If caprica goes through as planned, the whole timeline of cylons is f'd up. It's the case of trying to squeeze blood from a turnip. Stick to the lore of BS Galactica, Humans created cylons as shiny toasters, they rebelled, they disappeared, they evolved on their own. Easy right!! that is more than enough to keep us entertained. space battles, shiny cylons, final batte. the end.

We won't see the end of this show until July 2009 because Sci-fi are fuckers, but if we get TVMs that will at least tide things over a little. Fucking hell.

with effects out the wazoo. there's enough drama in the tv show this year, give us a first contact or wrath of khan-esque movie.

some episodes (particularly the episode where they bust out of new caprica and the first episode of season 4) leave me dying to see them go all out sci-fi blockbuster.

I hope there're some more courtroom scenes!

by NoHubris
May 16th, 2008

...could afford a chance to go deeper and give explanations behind the mythical aspect of the show which has so many unanswered questions. We are still unclear about the Temple of Jupiter, the Final Five, the In-Heads, Kobol, Lords of Kobol, the 13th tribe and its journey to Earth, along with the Cylon religion.

The movies can fix that in a way the final episodes cannot.

I still want to know

Grand Idea, sir! If they do air them in the middle of the assine, ass-hole mid-season gaping rupture that has been sinisterly slashed into S4, it could at least suggest that one suit at SciFi might not be dumber than an amoeba.

But they will likely opt to continue showing wrestling, so holding of breath is ill-advised.

the cylonn religion is jewdaism/christianity/islam..c ome on have you not been able to work that out...its been blatant from season 1..have you not even worked out the referances to Baltar being a Jesus type figure
Are you frakking kidding me

I didn't know that the final decision had been made to delay the last episodes for another year. Hey Sci-Fi, a bunch of buddies of mine all started wathcing this show and I am the only one left watching cuase Im the only one that actually knows when it will be on anymore. Stop dicking us around before you lose more and more fans and viewers.
didja mean "Judaism" there, by any chance?
by chromedome
May 17th, 2008
12:47:23 AM
and it might be, as NoHubris suggests, cool to see some detail about the Fictional Cylon religion, and how it came to be....

And you neglected to mention the Greek and Roman mythologies which are just as blatant. (Apollo, Athena, Jupiter.... c'mon yourself, those are not Judaism, Christian, Islamic).

don't be hasslin my HubrisFree Friend....

sorry..yeah Judaism
by semisaj
May 17th, 2008
01:08:27 AM
no hassle intended to nohubris..the Greek and Roman mythologies are indeed blatant...as Judaism, Christian, Islamic beliefs overtook them in real life...they are now in Battlestar ..that is whole structure of the show and the whole point of the show
don't forget the bits of mormon mythology

I'm sorry, but when did he ever do a bunch of Sopranos prequels, as opposed to doing a sequel. Just because he concluded the series, and felt the need to not elaborate upon it does not its the same thing. If you need to draw a parallel between this and anything, it's to Lynch, with Twin Peaks, and Fire Walk With Me.

Yeah, the actors will be moving on to other projects, just like the bulk of the casts of Twin Peaks, the various Star Trek series, Buffy, Angel, etc, etc. BTW -- when Nicholas Brendon finishes washing your car, can you send him back over here with my laundry?

I can type again now since I just stopped holding my breath (as blue leaves face). Although I will hope against hope that the right decision will be made about which movies get made and when they get aired.

Thanks for the back up too (stepping forward), but I've got it from here. I've been known to dish out some good hasslin' myself when necessary. :-)

Breathe, man, breathe!

Yea, no backup really needed--semisaj was not really after you or anything, and I was in a weird mood. You got called out a leeeeetle bit, is all. Semisaj seems alright to me, so hope no offense was taken, as none was intended. It was sposed to be a humorous call-out of the calling-out....

Let's have some good BSG talkbacking--and some good BSG MOVIES.

I certainly see the similarities to the other religions you mention (which stems from TOS creator Larson). However, my thoughts are that RDM is also re-imagining that part of BSG too.

Did you ever think that all this may not be about religion at all, but about man and machine both trying to be god-like and having major adverse implications on the BSG universe?.

For example, it is possible that the Lords of Kobol were something other than what their mythic status portrays them to be. Think about it. If the tragedy at Kobol never happened and Kobol was never abandoned, the near destruction of the human race would have never occurred. Unlike Mt. Olympus in our universe, in the BSG universe Kobol is "real" and it would be interesting to see a movie that gives some explanation to it, even if TPTB keep some of the mystery around it (which they should IMHO).

Just a thought.

I got it, Chromedome buddy

No offense taken toward semisaj. All in good fun (nothing weird at all about your post either BTW).

I was just having some fun with the calling out, as well as with the talk about BSG MOVIES.

This is a interesting TB and I was just jumping into the fray.:-)

Regarding BSG MOVIES, bring it on!

seems like RDM's well has long since dried up - it was fun while it lasted but surely if Trek has taught him ANYTHING it is the one about the dead horse and the whip...
