- blast_flame, on 06/08/2009, -2/+61What do you want another season?
"Watch as the cast slowly dies off from disease, wild animal attacks and other consequences of retardardly giving up technology tonight at 9!" - Chompy, on 06/08/2009, -0/+47Step 1: Kill all the humans. Well, try anyway. Then vaguely change your mind.
Step 2: Have kinky cylon sex in flying orgy ships.
Step 3: ??Hendrix??
Step 4: Profit. - mojoel, on 06/08/2009, -4/+45I sincerely hope this isn't the last we see of the Galactica crew.
- AmyVernon, on 06/08/2009, -3/+42I think this is going to be awesome. Can't wait.
- coelomate, on 06/08/2009, -1/+35AND THEY HAVE A PLAN.
- freezerburn666, on 06/08/2009, -1/+32***** sweet, i cant get enough battlestar... even the caprica pilot is pretty kick ass.
- Soulself, on 06/08/2009, -6/+30SO SAY WE ALL!
- Beatmiser, on 06/08/2009, -0/+24Pointless nitpick: It was Dylan before it was Hendrix
- Astrad, on 06/08/2009, -3/+24Said Olmos: "Just because I directed it, star in it and had my career revived by the BSG series does not mean I can't give you an unbiased opinion."
- Foenetik, on 06/08/2009, -2/+22frakkin toasters.
- Colecoman1982, on 06/08/2009, -1/+18Yea, and lead to humanity repeating the very cycle that they were, supposedly, trying to break. An idiot could have seen that the easiest way to continue the cycle of creating artificial intelligence was to forget the past in the the same way the 12 colonies did once they "started over" and forgot about what really happened on Kobol with the original Cylons. Actually moving forward would have been freeing the learning from their mistakes, freeing the Centurians, and moving forward with all their collected knowledge and some kind of Herbert/Dune style law such as "Thou shalt not build a machine that thinks like a man.".
- Pixelante, on 06/08/2009, -3/+18Centenarians? Did they leave a retirement home in orbit?
- Coven, on 06/08/2009, -2/+17"Can't wait."
So say we all! - RyanBlueThunder, on 06/08/2009, -3/+17I'd like to see Chief Tyrol become viewed as some norse god, brooding on his island.
I'd like to see Caprica "bring culture out of the sea to humankind" (i.e., the god Sumerian Enki) and Baltar introduce agriculture.
The Centenarians can return from space to resolve some issue brewing in the heavens...making the settlers even more "god-like".
You're gods damn right I want another season! - yngtimmy, on 06/08/2009, -0/+13wtf are you talking about?
- NovaPrime9, on 06/08/2009, -1/+13Ryan, did you mean Centurions? Or was there something I *really* missed in that show?
- cjacks9, on 06/08/2009, -1/+13I was happy when I heard they were doing this movie. I was, for all these years, like wondering wtf their plan was in the first place.
- Gudlyf, on 06/08/2009, -0/+12I asked Jane Espenson about 'The Plan' a couple of weeks ago -- http://clak.us/thmg -- and she had this to say:
Me: As far as The Plan goes, will there be anything contained in the story that will cause the BSG buzz lines to light up again? Any “ooooh!” reveals that we can look forward to? Or is it just a nice way to say one final goodbye to the series?
JE: Hmm. There are certainly reveals in The Plan. They’re going to make you say “Ahh… so that’s how…” and things like that. A few loose ends that you might have even forgotten are loose are going to get tied up. - freezerburn666, on 06/08/2009, -2/+14so say we all
- inactive, on 06/08/2009, -0/+11I'm gonna need that picture of Edward James Olmos's ass back.
- Oea420, on 06/08/2009, -1/+10BSG really flopped on the finale.
Great show, loved it.. but they could've handled the finale a little bit better than, "Let's give up all this wonderful technology and chalk everything up to god's master plan"
I mean, seriously, that has to be the easiest way out - sindex, on 06/08/2009, -1/+10Jane Espenson wrote it? Cool. Always happy to see Joss Whedon's old gang working and doing well.
- schmidt349, on 06/08/2009, -0/+9You're full of Cylon clones and those old-fashioned phones.
- Hortnon, on 06/08/2009, -1/+9Yeah, the finale made it clear what the point of the series was. As depressing as that is...
- Chompy, on 06/08/2009, -2/+10Do not question Mystery Step.
- Protoss, on 06/08/2009, -0/+7They never really cobbled together any 'god concept'. From the beginning the Cylons kept jabbering on and on about God. That and the entire prophecy storyline proves they had God involved in the story from the start.
- Coven, on 06/08/2009, -3/+10Because all that talk of gods and 'the one true god' and prophecies wasn't abstract at all..
- schrutefan, on 06/08/2009, -2/+9I don't think it will top Back Door Sluts 9.
- crashlock, on 06/08/2009, -3/+10Red Thumbs activated.
- Protoss, on 06/08/2009, -1/+7You're talking about the original BSG, not the BSG this movie is about, just fyi. In the re-imagined series, WE created the Cylons (as seen in the Caprica pilot).
- ebcreasoner, on 06/08/2009, -0/+6He said that? Nice.
- phosphite, on 06/08/2009, -0/+6Close, it was GOD! :O
- Oea420, on 06/08/2009, -1/+7Hah getting dugg down,.. but it's exactly right
They took a stellar show with a stellar run like battlestar galactica and totally botched the ending.
I mean, it had to be the easiest way to end it.... omg give up all tech and chalk everything up to god's master plan
FOR ***** SAKE - zip000, on 06/08/2009, -0/+5I'd love another season in which Adama wakes up and everything that happened in the last finale was just a dream...at least the giving up technology and going native part.
- yournamehere, on 06/08/2009, -0/+5so with respect to the finale of BSG.. the moral i walked away with is that it's better to go back to being stupid/simple folk than being technically advanced and having to deal with life changing decisions on a day to day basis.
Homer Simpson had the right idea.. I'm going to go shove a crayon up my nose. - ParticleMan420, on 06/08/2009, -2/+6dont watch it then. you wont hurt anyone's feelings.
- kmattso, on 06/08/2009, -2/+6Their plan when they filmed The Plan was to make The Plan what they had planned.
- flossdaily, on 06/09/2009, -1/+5That finale was one of the worst things I've ever seen. You easily-amused folks are the reason that thinking people can't get intelligent sci-fi anymore. You'll buy whatever crap they sell, so they never have to work at writing something worth your time.
- flamyngo, on 06/08/2009, -1/+5Yeah, I'll watch that.
- bitterbug, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4I felt like the ending was a sudden jump from dark drama to camp. Forcing plot resolutions, and that "contemporary" scene with Baltar and Six just seemed like such lame "network" style writing.
As for Caprica, it has some really talented actors working on it but I didn't like the (cinematic) direction much. It felt like MTV was standing behind the crew calling the shots. - merky1, on 06/08/2009, -4/+8I agree that the science was weak (Newtonian physics????), but compared to a star wars / star trek story, BSG had a much more tangible / identifiable story line. No particle of the week, reversed polarities, etc. storylines. The one fatal flaw IMHO is the god concept they cobbled together at the end of the show.
I'm not a fanboy, but up until around season 3, it was some of the best Sci Fi we have seen on TV in a long while. - zadadka, on 06/08/2009, -0/+4"33"
It was certainly a good episode, won an award if I recall. - antdude, on 06/08/2009, -0/+4So say we all!
- egodbois, on 06/08/2009, -1/+4This is the first I've heard about this. I have but one thing to say.
w00t. - inactive, on 06/09/2009, -2/+5Hi, I'm Edward James Olmos, here to give you my unbiased opinion on the movie I directed.
It's ***** awesome and brilliantly directed. - PunkFenixJT, on 06/08/2009, -1/+4I wasn't sure i was a fan of Caprica until I backed away from Battlestar for a few months and rewatched. Now I definitely think there's promise.
- ebcreasoner, on 06/08/2009, -2/+5So say we all, why not? It's hard to find great escapes nowadays. For frack's sake, watch the fracken show, will ya, gods damnit!
- ezyeric, on 06/08/2009, -0/+3I hope it starts or addresses more of the story of the final five on earth including more about Daniel.
- shipwreck58, on 06/09/2009, -1/+3Clearly you are a Star Trek fan . . . not used to good acting and good scripts and good special effects.
- blast_flame, on 06/08/2009, -0/+2@RyanBlueThunder
Maybe if it were set 15 000 years ago that could work but 150 000 years is simply too long. Long enough without development that all colonial culture would have died off completely. From archeological evidence we know that around this time technologies that would have been trivial for the colonials to invent such as a net were not invented, they had no impact on the history of earth civilization other than a few bits of DNA. -
