naz99 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 waiting with baited breath to download im sat here awake at 3:30am in the morning with probably no more than an hour to go till i can dl then ill be posting my opinions :P ... would wait till october to see it here in the uk but sod that considering the USA has it now and we have to wait longer here in the uk for it considering we got the 1st series first ... But to keep the ratings up i will watch the downloads and also keep my tv on skyone while im at work considering ill never get the chance to watch... Least i can do to keep the series alive is keep the channel on it will be shown on even if i am working while it is showing! thats one of the MAIN reasons im watching thje downloads now,,as i know ill be working while its on :( gotta admit that if any true sci-fi lovers on this board hate this show then i may have to seriously think about giving it up...i personanly dont think (IMO) that anyone fond of these shows can hate this..... It's the first show even compared to the original that holds its own by creating the feeling of true drama and suspense while keeping to its sci-fi roots by being packed with decent fx and action without being too unbelieveable or over the top...which in my opinion is something that even the true great shows of this genre cant match which is exactly why it deserves not to be pigeonholed into the me too category of sci-fi! Now thats my view anyone think different or do you have a good argument against it? ;) P.S Judging by most ppls opions about it before i think most feel the way i do but im sure it cant please everyone of course! Just another plus point: Glad to see this site is still alive (even if it did take me weeks to find the new address i knew it was out there glad to see nite didnt give it up but just made it more obscure.....knowing at least the true fans would find and return ;) Ironicly these money milking bastards dont think about the advantage that making a site such as yours truly legal and advertised with what fans want while charging a small amount such as a rental to see the episodes online and counting the viewing figures into the bigger picture.To me mate you are a true star and u deserve to benefit from this kind of thing rather than being penalised...LONG LIVE NITESHDW TORRENTS! (if this is the way it has to be ) respect m8 :P HMM saying that the least i can do is donate eh?....damn if i wanst so skint...maybe on payday,and i f i dont then im a twat aint i :P maybe in 3 weeks when im sorted i should hold myslef to those words ...thats a needed doantion to you and a site like euroemu.net both deserve (not trying to advertise that site but another uk guy that keeps oldies alive on the gaming side while avoiding the newer stuff). BTW where u from NITE?(lol DUH check the profile innit :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 anyway.....back on topic.......... Just when you think things couldnt get more screwed up tighs men shot some civies..... Glad to see adama back up on his feet, and looks like he wont beat up tigh about his bad calls (major screw ups more like). The main thing i noticed was when baltar injected the cheif and found out that there where 8 cylon clones in the fleet, dunno if this is true or not but kinda makes you wonder who is and who aint. Another episode where the story is going at a fast pace..... great aint it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMarley Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Jack Ruby. I forgot about this week's death. I know one more person that will die, but not sure if that comes in ep 5 or 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteShdw Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 tighs wife has got to be a toaster. and it is nice to see that dr baltar has decided to keep those balls he grew last week. Tighs wife is definately a nutcase, but just because she's power hungry doesn't mean she is a cylon. There's still the debate about whether cylons can COPY real existing people or not. Then again... the existing cylon have a lot of memories and personal knowledge that could have been taken from a real person. I still feel that the Caprica storyline is really weak and doesn't make much sense. Where's it going? Why aren't people on Galactica worried that one of their best pilots has been missing for such a long time? They sent raptors to get her back when she crash-landed but they aren't doing anything now? I have to say that I'm really glad to see Adama back in command. Tigh needs to be shoved out an airlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 actually maybe something important will happen on caprica that we have'nt seen just yet, also I think that the time frame from the end of kobols last standing part 2 and now is only afew days so maybe they havent had the time to let things settle and actually wonder whats happened to starbuck. Actually if you remember both Adama and Tigh were never in favour of actually going back to caprica so i doubt they really would want to possible waste a raptor and a crew and not knowing what waits for them when they arrive for all they know there could be half a dozen basestars in orbit. Starbuck went back in the captured cylon craft. I do suspect that Tigh's wife is either a nutcase or a cylon as she seems to be making tigh make some not so logical calls which is starting to make the fleet turn on one and another, which is what the cylons would like to happen. like the president said in this episode the fleet will splinter and go there own ways and the cylons will pick them off one by one, in all this i suspect a cylon involvement.....question is who? and bearing in mind that baltar found out that there are 8 cylons within the fleet and they could be anyone......I am starting to suspect Baltar actually. Why? just ask yourself why he hide the fact that there was a cylon on the galactica and also lied about the cylon detector, also would explain why 6 is always in his head, finally if we remember the orginal baltar actually sold out the human race.

spencer39 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I really don't think that Baltar is a cylon. To me, he is human and represents the very nature of humans, by his egocentric acts, his desire for lust and greed, although he can sometimes contribute to the greater good. I think we're about to see something really big happenning on Caprica. That's why we have Helo and Starbuck there, they're probably the ones that will reveal the coming of the cylon-human babies. One thing that I'm eager to see, is the other different cylon models, since we only have seen 4 of them. I hope that in those 8 mixed in the fleet, we get to see some new ones.

Ulysses Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 possibly right there spencer, who knows but if its his ego then i am still wondering why he hid the fact about his cylon detector ....another reason to watch it every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteShdw Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 Baltar is what really keeps me intrigued in the show. His cylon detector works, but only so much as he's willing to admit to the results. If I suspected people of being cylons, I certainly would definately make sure at least 2 or 3 people verified all the results from the detector; there's too much risk if Baltar is a cylon. What really surprises me is that Tigh didn't accuse Baltar of being a cylon for giving Boomer a green light after her test when she's obviously a cylon. Why is he being overlooked or trusted further than people like Chief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestra Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I wonder what Ellen will do now that Adama is obviously going to be back in command. Will she stay on Galactica or maybe try to get in with Tom Zarek, she has some sort of attraction for him, be it a power or sexual one. Boomer said there are 8 Cylons on the fleet, but only 2 are going to be revealed this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz99 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Gotta admit that was one of my favourite eps so far. And i love the fact that baltars character is so unpredictable which gives him a love hate quality,just when you think hes a nasty piece of work he does something half-way decent to make you question it only to piss you off again straight after. :P Gotta agree with nite aswell that was one thing that bugged me is that Tigh is ready to accuse Tyrol etc but hardly questions baltar about his "supposed" mistake which kind of put me off as its already clear that Tigh doesnt trust Baltar one bit,but only took all of about a minute to question him which ended up with a lame excuse from Baltar that no sane person would have accepted given the situation. That scence was one major flaw which stood out too much but at least the rest of the ep made up for it. Also is it just me or does it seem that as each episode is shown the caprica storyline is just becoming more and more of a filler to delay Helo and Starbuck getting back to galactica sooner so thre is time to finish off the other storylines? Maybe not but it looks that way to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 one thing that did make me laugh actually was seeing the rebels on caprica....one of them was armed with a SA-80 rifle with a SUSAT...man not much hope if they are having to use humvee's and british rifles hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz99 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Lol to above ...ya got a point ...it kind of puts a david and goliath twist on it doesnt it :P (they dont stand a chance but will still end up coming out ontop anyway) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I'm really glad to see Adama back in command. Tigh needs to be shoved out an airlock. So am I. Actually, they didn't send anyone down in a raptor for Starbuck, they sent it down for the chief, etc. Tigh never liked Starbuck and her going off with authorisation has given him the perfect excuse to leave her down on caprica. I think that the ex-President will try to get her back to retrieve the arrow. Also, 53 fighters, some of which a trained soldiers, would be a great asset to Galactica, although I think that they will all be cautious about taking in 53 unchecked men and women from Caprica.

tkaren1954 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 tighs wife has got to be a toaster. and it is nice to see that dr baltar has decided to keep those balls he grew last week. Even if she isn't a toaster someone needs to put her and Tigh out an airlock. So glad Adama is back. And I hope Starbuck gets back to the fleet. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Excellent episode... :cyclops: I may be wrong, but I think Tigh's wife is a cylon. She's behaving like Six day after day... Her appearance in the fleet was suspicious and, remember, her cylon detector test was conducted after Baltar decided to conceal the truthful results. BTW, Boomer getting shot after reaveling the number of cylons in the fleet was suspicious as well. Do you think the Chief's assistant is also a cylon?
