I think they may not even have mechanic brains, they seem to be virtually identical to humans. Basically just brain-washed augmented clones. We've seen Caprica-Sharon 'turn' and betray her own, not really something a robot would do. Same goes for getting knocked up

In the pilot movie when they examined the one Adama killed they had said that all of it was synthetic "down to the lymph fluid".

Also now they know that Sharron is a Cylon what does this do to all the people that had been tested prior?


Plot holes or am I just thinking too much into the show?


Whatch think?

I have not seen the original Cylons ......think this is the early version before the first war......maybe?

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

the origenal serie was also the first war...with the mark I...the new serie is about the the second war...with the marks II and III (the look to much like the star wars battle droids mark II IMHO)...but problem is that in the new series all the newer ships of the humans can be controlled by the cyclons so they still use the same kind of ships as they did in the first series...that maybe confusing....

now if i said something that was already said or understood my apoligeze i am trying to pass the time

I figured this is about the same war as was the original serie. A remake, not sequel.

The Original series started with the Cylons tricking the Colonials into a false peace after, I believe, a thousand yahren(probably years) war.

In the new series there has been a truce for 40 years. In that time the Cylons took off for parts unknown. Then came back to kick serious ass. There's osmething to be said for keeping tabs on your enemies.

It seems to me that the Cylons know everything that is going to happen and the Colonials only win when the Cylons want to them to and even when the Colonials win, they still lose. They just don't know it.

The one thing about BG is that it's so good that I have a hard time believing they can keep it going at that level. So far, the only scifi show to excel several seasons from beginning to end has been Farscape(IMHO). I never watched firefly so I can't compare.

No, it's 40 years after the first war. The first series didn't happen. In the new series, Cylons were robot warriors created by the colonies to do their fighting for them (the colonies being engaged in a civil war, apparently), but they revolted, forcing the humans to have to fight their creations.

Thank God you posted this Cheg, I've been reading through thinking I'd missed the point entirely when I watched the pilot show!

Got spare money?

You only pick up bits and parts here and there, and some of that I got from the BSG website.

On the flip side, our zeitgeist seems to be that we are deeply troubled about how fast our technology is progressing. The Matrix, BSG, the Terminator etc., are all modern retellings of Frankenstein.

Well, the last moments of the final were kind of a tell-tale sign (I won't disclose what it was in case anyone missed it, noone should have that precious moment spoiled )

Plus, Caprica-Sharon is bound to return to the Galactica in S2, she'd have a hard time talking herself out of that one as well...



And indeed, the plots of the two shows are completely unrelated. They take place in mirror universes, that explains why all the genders have been reversed

This will expose Balter...right?

If the crew know that Sharron had been tested then the test was a false negative wich would make the crew think that the test was flawed.

Either they would think the test is flawed or they would have to do all the testing over again.


Yes?

Only Sharon and Baltar know she was tested, and he's been "falsely" accused by Cylon agents before. They'll trust the scientist before the traitor.

OK...lil fun here.


Who do ya think is the other Cylons?


I think The XO's wife is a Cylon.

When Baltar tested her he said he would not tell what the result was.

Richard Hatch {can't think of the characters name} the freedom fiter.
I get the feeling he may be a Cylon.

Gonna really be suprised when Lee Adama is found out to be a Cylon

That Cylon said that Adama was a Cylon he did not say wich one

Its too transparent a lie, it seems to me.

One question they have not explained, are the cyclon models copies of original hjumans, or utterly new? Did they have pasts, or was that all made up? I mean, was Boomer simply placed on Caprica full grown and went on to join the military with nary a background check or so forth?

Anyhow, I'm probably asking for trouble looking in a BSG thread. I'll give it a miss until I've watched Season 1.

Well, it's no secret from the moment you see the opening sequence, showing her picture and the statement, "some are programmed to believe they are human." Bascially, it's not a secret and it is an ongoing plot.

Yes. Supposedly, her character is the only survivor from some outpost that mysteriously exploded, killing everyone, except her.

Very suspicious if you ask me.
