So we are Cylons? by Mahaloth	Sep 24th, 2008 07:50:19 PM
I figured either that or that we are hybrids between the two.

They're thinking of changing the Sci Fi channel's by snowpuff	Sep 24th, 2008 08:12:33 PM
name to the Beyond Channel. I assume they then will make the channel indistinguishable from USA, Bravo, Lifetime, Spike and every other cable outlet. Pretty sad.

as I was saying... I'm a Cylon, and so is my wife! by Amy Chasing	Sep 24th, 2008 08:26:12 PM
Me thinks Tyrol is spreading a little misinformation perhaps?
Snowpuff, SciFi died a long time ago by br1947	Sep 24th, 2008 08:26:40 PM
I welcome the change, that leaves the door open for an upstart new net to become a GOOD Science Fiction channel, not a half assed crappy movie of the week followed by wrestling channel
VERY interesting indeed... by HappyHamster	Sep 24th, 2008 08:34:37 PM
That is a very juicy tidbit. But the brilliance of this show is that, even though you can sort of call that a major spoiler, there are still 10 million more questions (When/why did Cylons create Caprica humans? When/why did humans/cyclons leave Earth? How did the Greek mythology enter into Caprica religion? Why the monotheistic cylons and what is their "plan"? etc)

Earth is the cylon homeworld? Right. Great "reimagining" there. Next thing you'll tell me is that Moby Dick is an action story... Wha?
I love it when actors fuck up by Riley Martin	Sep 24th, 2008 08:41:40 PM
You just know someone is going to slip up soon & give away the series finale :D
Surely Moore will be pissed at this by performingmonkey	Sep 24th, 2008 08:44:33 PM
It seems Aaron Douglas just blew the big revelation at the end of 4.11. Ah well, at least it's something we could have guessed, and we still don't what the fuck's going on or how that works with it being the Cylon homeworld. Obviously the human race isn't just made up of 12 models. Or will they say the human race is descended from the 12. Fuck it, I'm glad he said this because now we have more to talk about!
-doh! by alice 13	Sep 24th, 2008 08:46:23 PM
what an idiot. exactly why i keep hoping the cylons win. tyvm.
They're not on 'Earth' (and book recommendation) by chrth	Sep 24th, 2008 08:53:42 PM
They followed Kara, who they weren't supposed to follow. They need to follow the Final Five to 'Earth' ('Earth' being where the 13th colony is, not where all the people originated from before going to Kobol) Book recommendation: Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson. Has some nice parallels to BSG. And lesbian robot sex!
Battlestars deployed to Iraq by The 6th Conchord	Sep 24th, 2008 08:53:48 PM
We ARE descended from Cylons. Look at the McCain (Tight) & Palin (Roslin) families. Bunch o' robots to ME!
Nice one chrth, I like it. by Amy Chasing	Sep 24th, 2008 08:56:48 PM
I'm also wonder in whose scriptures does it say Earth is the Cylon homeworld? Do the Cylons have scriptures? If it's in the human scriptures, why hasn't someone said something yet? You'd think the human spiritual leaders would have mentioned "hey, that place we're trying to find, it's listed as the Cylon homeworld in the scriptures. Could this be a problem?" Or something like that.
Lesbian robot sex you say, Chrth? I'm sold! by br1947	Sep 24th, 2008 08:57:03 PM

It seems kinda obvious Earth was the homeworld. by Bob Cryptonight	Sep 24th, 2008 09:18:24 PM
I mean, that just always seemed to be the case based on how the whole show played out and all the talk of so-called prequel episodes. It's not a surprising revelation. If it's not true, it should be!
the first half of season four didn't work for me by heavenlykid	Sep 24th, 2008 09:20:47 PM
there were some good episodes, but I'm starting to feel like most of the cliffhangers they set up in season one were put in without any definite plans of how to resolve them. It's still well written, but it's feeling like good writers are having to pull a lot out of their asses to make everything make sense.
I smell Planet of the Apes (2001) here by GeorgieBoy	Sep 24th, 2008 09:21:19 PM
They'd better not make this some kind of alternate universe thing. That'd be dumber than Galactica 1980.
It's misdirection... by Audio_of_Being	Sep 24th, 2008 09:30:09 PM
It's gotta be. You don't think the actors gotta sign NDA's which would force them to know what info is and isn't out there?
Aaron Douglas, sobering up after giving this interview: by RaveX	Sep 24th, 2008 09:50:09 PM
"oops..."
Damn. I like Aaron Douglas... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 24th, 2008 10:20:02 PM
...but these BSG cast members need to watch their mouths on these radio interviews. Between Douglas, Sackhoff, and the occassional gaff by Olmos...I'm surprised Moore doesn't issue the cast ball gags between season breaks. That being said, it's an interesting revelation, if true. I'll be more concerned with it when the show makes its return.
That makes 4 cast members so far... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 24th, 2008 10:31:23 PM
...who have publicly commented on the show's finale. McDonnell, Bamber, Helfer, and Douglas have all attested to what they believe is a truly incredible series finish. McDonnell and Helfer have said that it was incredibly moving and made them want to revisit the series' beginning. Bamber (who is a staunch defender of the show and critic of SciFi's programming department) has also declared it to be a perfect piece of writing. I'm certainly looking forward to the show's return, that's for damn sure.
Aaron Douglas will pay for this mistake with his life by Bob of the Shire	Sep 24th, 2008 10:56:27 PM
It's a good thing he's already finished filming the series. Anyway, that's not as big of a spoiler as it appears at first. That's really just part of the set up for the final ten episodes and something we'd learn in 4.11 anyway. It could have been worse, Aaron could have talked about the Lee/Adama gay incestual relationship twist.
Stringing this out... by Unnatural	Sep 24th, 2008 11:12:19 PM
Giving us an episode a year is just a crappy way of stringing this out longer and longer. At this point, I don't really care about BSG. I will just wait for the DVDs and rent them. Had they played everything at once, I would have bought them. When it takes a calendar to figure out when things are on -- and you can't remember what happened in the last episode or even season -- it's time ot move on. Goodbye BSG -- see you at Netflicks.
Damn Unnatural, I think you just rocked the industry by smackfu	Sep 24th, 2008 11:20:23 PM
The effects of you giving up on BSG will be felt for decades to come, I'm sure of it.
Isn't it clear that it's not earth, but "terra" ? by MurderMostFowl	Sep 24th, 2008 11:34:22 PM
Just like in the original series? Granted the story on how they get there is completely different, but they're looking at the aftermath of the war on that planet... of course they may change the purpose of that war and all for the new series, but it's basically the same. IIRC It's in that episode that the "original" cylons are discussed in the old series. ( The "beings of light" also have the possibility of fitting into the new storyline since the final5 appeared illuminated to deanna, and IIRC starbuck talks about a burst of light when she is resurrected ) Meh... I'm trying to care so ... so.. much, but YOU, SciFi Channel, YOU have forced me to not give much of a shit because you delay the fraking end sooooo fraking long.
I don't suppose SciFi gave a reason for the delay by Amy Chasing	Sep 24th, 2008 11:43:23 PM
and I missed it somehow?
Amy Chasing... it's called greed by MurderMostFowl	Sep 24th, 2008 11:57:00 PM
They realized they can sell more ads with split seasons, and they can run off and try and work in a whole prequel series they hadn't counted on in the mean time. They also realized that there's not one single show left on SciFi for anyone to watch once this show ends... ( maybe Eureka just for the sake of argument ) I'm sure they think they're being clever, but it's killing the audience.
NOW I'M NOT RACIST OR NOTHIN' by J-Dizzle	Sep 24th, 2008 11:59:33 PM
But, we are cylons = cop out reveal. (Plus it doesn't make sense, why make a fuss over the final five if everyone is friggen cylon??)
PLUS... by J-Dizzle	Sep 25th, 2008 12:01:38 AM
Earth as the homeworld = cop out too!

It could be Earth, not Terra... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Sep 25th, 2008 02:55:48 AM
I mean, in the last episode, they could have actually been on Earth, and Terra is where they need to go. Yes, in the original series, they went to Terra first before finding Earth, but Ron Moore could be flipping things around here (just as he did with his take on the Pegasus storyline).
snowpuff by palewook	Sep 25th, 2008 06:43:33 AM
skiffy channel is already shit. wrestling, bad D movies, reality tv, etc. bbca does a better job of handling scifi anymore.
But what is it? by MattInTheHat	Sep 25th, 2008 06:53:46 AM
OK... how can Cylons come from anywhere but Caprica because they bloody well invented them 50 years ago. Doesn't the prequel cover how the Cylons are created? In which case how could they be mentioned in the scriptures, supposedly written several thousand years ago. I haven't seen season 4 yet though. I know the cycle of time has to factor into it, but if someone events a toaster how can we read about cooked bread before that actually happens? Sounds like bollocks.
the Chinaman is not the issue here! by Maniaq	Sep 25th, 2008 06:57:24 AM
that had NOT occurred to us dude... well ok you guys aren't privy to all the new shit, so... you know, uh... that's what you.. that's what you pay me for...
But what is it? by MattInTheHat	Sep 25th, 2008 07:00:17 AM
Also, before Cylon War II: The Next Generation, everyone thought Cylons WERE toasters, i.e. the chrome dome old skool model. Noone even conceived they were skinjobs, other than that there may have been some gory experiments as seen by young Adama in Razor. This is part of the build up of Season 1 - discovering who the skinjob Cyclons are. Therefore it would throw everything out of whack for me to think that skinjobs existed first, and humanity is decended from them. Everything is Humans > Create Toasters > Create Skinjobs.
But what is it? by MattInTheHat	Sep 25th, 2008 07:03:47 AM
Fuck it. Before it gets aired the US economy will have collapsed and they will have all rioted and burned down Sci-Fi channel because they can't get 3 square meals of McDs a day. We'll get no resolution.
I figured. by fanboy71	Sep 25th, 2008 10:30:25 AM
The first time the Cylons said there was only one god I told my wife that we were the cylons. I had it figured that we were descendents though, not ancestors. But the whole earthlings = cylons thing... I had it. Yea me!

You Guys Remember Starbuck, Right? by Asaraiel	Sep 25th, 2008 02:00:20 PM
SPOILER here if you haven't been watching: Remember how they got everybody riled up with Starbuck's death? Even the cast? What makes you think they're not going to mislead us now? I'm not even saying it's a bad thing; Battlestar's good enough that I don't mind them fucking with me. But they've thrown crap out there before that wasn't accurate, and this feels like that again.
There's a Final Five Connection Here by NoHubris	Sep 25th, 2008 02:24:39 PM
We have learned that the Final Five came FROM Earth so Aaron Douglas' remarks tie into what's already been revealed.
Cylon homeplanet? by BigSteve03	Sep 25th, 2008 03:06:43 PM
I thought there was no way to tell the difference between a human and a human model cylon, right? So when he's saying they find cylon stuff all over "earth" doesnt that just mean they found robot cylon stuff? It would make sense that two groups of humans would design the same type of machine like that. It'll probably be some moral lesson in the end. The earth humans and earth cylons wiped each other out, so the colonial ones now have to learn to work together to prevent that from ever happening again (when the other group of cylons track them down).

smackfu by slkboxrman	Sep 25th, 2008 04:52:20 PM
whats even more unatural is that "unatural" apparently doesnt know how to spell "netflix"....poor man, must not be too bright....this fall im watching approx 20 scripted shows during one week alone and i have no problem keeping track of the episodes. and when BSG comes back ill remember what hap last episode, even tho it was a year ago...plus they have that handy dandy "previoulsy on BSG"
The end by nilus	Sep 25th, 2008 05:14:16 PM
I remember when Sci-Fi premied and there was hope for such a great channnel. Sure they played a lot of old sci-fi for a few years but then they started getting original series(Lex, Farscape Etc) and were doing so well. Then someone went insane. We started getting John Edwards 7 days a week. Then terrible reality shows. Now they show Wrestling and Ghost Hunters(IE grown men with broken electrical equipment being afraid of the dark). Man what happened. Only shows worth watching are BSG, Eureka(if you turn your brain off and just enjoy it as descent family television) and Doctor Who(If you don't just go online and download the episodes when they actually premier on the BBC)
nilus by slkboxrman	Sep 25th, 2008 05:30:40 PM
lol i always laugh at ghosthunters...they run around in the dark every week and the end result of every episode is "inconclusive" ...does anyone really watch that show? i think all the spirits theyre lookin for are the only ones watching that show and sayin to themselves "why dont they ever find me" ...its a sub-culture of wasted stupid shows...isnt it strange that all the shows that hunt wierd things never find them...ghost hunters, ufo hunters, monster hunters...etc...and always end up being "inconclusive" and no one realizes the pattern..theyre never gonna find nothing..except a bunch of idiots out there sayin "wow thats cool, they almost found something" ....duh
dr who by slkboxrman	Sep 25th, 2008 05:32:42 PM
is horrible crap, makes babylon 5 look like a masterpiece. whoever says that show is good is pleased very easily...bad acting, special effects, etc. and its called GREAT sci-fi....nothing personal nilus
Babylon 5 by nilus	Sep 25th, 2008 06:03:37 PM
Babylon 5 was a masterpiece. Probably one of the best Sci-Fi series ever created. And Doctor Who isn't great sci-fi its fun sci-fi. I love both the old and new series, but I admit that maybe I am seeing them through rose colored glasses. I have fond memories of when I was a wee lad getting to stay up late on Sunday nights to watch Doctor Who on PBS at the foot of my parents bed.
nilus by slkboxrman	Sep 26th, 2008 12:36:35 AM

Seriously slkboxrman. BTW Babylon 5 "War Without End" Part 1 and 2 is the best 2 episodes of sci-fi TV ever!
Old News by Werthead	Sep 26th, 2008 06:32:47 AM
As someone mentioned earlier, Douglas spilled the beans on this months ago in an interview with SFX Magazine. He went a lot further then and also revealed how Tigh, Tyrol, Anders and Tory fit into things as well.

I said this a couple of years ago. BSG will have a Planet of the Apes-like ending, and the reveal is... Gaius Baltar is the only human, everyone else is a cylon or hybrid.
Think about it by Hardboiled Wonderland	Sep 27th, 2008 03:12:10 AM
Everyone expects Baltar to be the Fifth. The twist is, he's the only human, everyone else is a cylon. Sorry Ron, you can kill me later.
