roshan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Exactly... This season was mostly crap, so was a good chunk of the last one. The next and last season will be only half the lenght of a normal one. This means that we waded through a season and a half of crap waiting for a half season of good stuff(hopefully).

Iolo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) It's the music right? Only Tigh and Anders could hear the music. Since Tori can't sleep, I think she can hear it too. Plus the previews for next week revealed them all I think. Just before Anders says: "Face it guys, we're all Cylons". From people who have seen the next episode, the Cylons are Tyrol, Tori, Tigh, Anders My issue is it doesn't ring true. After all, Tigh was friends with Adama for 30 years so obviously he aged.

Yes they spent alot of their budget in the first four episodes so alot of the episodes when they came back in January seemed to be fillers.
roshan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Then the original Tigh must have been replaced with someone else...
Iolo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Possible. Not certain the writers actually thought of that though.
Hell Kitty Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) It doesn't seem right only if we assume that what we already know about the Cylons is the truth, such as there being human models for a short time. Oh, and no one know if the fourth season will be the final one. Edited March 21, 2007 by Hell Kitty
roshan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Another inconsistency in the whole cylon thing is how the Boomer on Caprica had all the memories of the one in Galactica. Maybe she sent her memories and they were downloaded into the Caprica Boomer?

Iolo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 A theme supposedly of season 4 will be "What is a cylon" so I assume we will get answers to these questions and others.
roshan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 One thing that disappoints me about BSG is the whole god versus gods thing. It would have been better if they opposed monotheism of the humans with either pantheism or monism of the cylons. Specially because the Hindu Gayatri Mantra is used as the series theme song.
Gorgon Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Might just be that the exects gave them 13 episodes as a kick in the backside, improve ratings or get cut off kinda deal. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
roshan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I wouldnt be surprised if their ratings plummeted with what they were putting out. Does anyone have more info on this? All I know is that the shift to Sunday may have been due to bad ratings. Execs normally ruin things but they may have saved the show in this case. Perhaps all the filler was due to the execs?

roshan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Damn that is a SERIOUS drop in ratings! Where did you get those from? Season 2 had a slight downward trend, although it looks like it was 4 points less than the first season on average. But Season 3 has been a freefall!
Gorgon Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Someone posted it at the Battlestar forums. I assume its genuine A few things though, the show apparently shanged time slot and more people are using Itunes to download episodes, so it might not be as disasterous as it looks at first glance.

astr0creep Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Im talking about when she appears in the fleet and tells Adama about Baltar. If its only in Baltars head, then how did Adama, Roslin and the others see her and talk to her as well? You mean Shelley Godfrey. Another #6 model. She was never in Baltar's head. No one knows what happened to her. She just dissapeared. It's a plot hole until her character comes back. By the way, there is no "original" Tigh . Only Cylon Tigh . Cylons aren't replicas of orginal humans. They are original Cylon creations. Machines created by machines, made up of organic components instead of mechanical. Season 3 struggled a lot in ratings so no one expects a fifth. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Slowtrain Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 You have to remember that numbers like these are relative to context: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/02/05/100741.php The simple fact is that the sci-fi channel can't compete with the major networks on an absolute scale. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Well, that blog is about Season 2 of BSG when the ratings decreased to 1.8 Since then, the ratings have gone down to 1.1 Also one of the comments mentions a show called Farscape which got cancelled when it dropped to 1.5 Edited March 21, 2007 by roshan
Guard Dog Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Wait an sec... How could Tyrol be one of them. He has a son. That was the big thing with helo and the #8s, they could not reproduce.

Unless Cally has a secret. Tyrol's son Nicky, by eventually getting Hera knocked up, will start "the new generation of God's children". Hera was the first, that was the big deal but it also implies more are coming does it not? http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
