SciFi’s Top Ten Reasons for Delaying Season 4 Until 2009

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007

10. By 2009, an entire new generation of sci-fi fans will have been born, and we can use the last half of Season Four to squeeze profits from them.
9. The ass-beating the network will receive from Battlestar’s rabid fanbase will be less bloody than if we waited ’till 2010, like we originally wanted to.
8. Brilliant writing, [...]

Reader Theory: Tyrol for President?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Cavatar writes:
“The Chief has, even if he does not know it, found himself in a position of great opportunity. He is now the Union leader for EVERY working human left alive. He is also a part of the working military… Now I don’t know how long Roslin’s term is.  If we assume that they use a [...]

The Nature of the Eye

Monday, December 18th, 2006

I’m pretty sure — based on what I saw in last week’s episode and the great discussion on the podcast post — that the Eye is indeed related to the supernova.  As Gaeta says, the chances of all the participants and events (including the supernova) coinciding seem pretty astronomical.  (Groan.)  But while I’m convinced that [...]

“You Chose Wisely…”

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

When the Hybrid refers to “the Chosen One” to Baltar and D’Anna, I think each thought the Hybrid was referring to him/herself. And it did appear the Hybrid was looking directly at them, or perhaps directly at Baltar. However, I think the Chief is the Chosen One. Didn’t the Hybrid also mention something about the [...]

The Best Chiefless Episode?

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Dante once described Smokey and the Bandit III as “the best Burt-less movie ever made.”  Might we describe A Measure of Salvation as the best “Chief-less” BSG episode?
Kidding aside — where’s Aaron Mr. Douglas?  I know he doesn’t need to appear in every episode (and I realize that he did show up briefly in the [...]

Are the Cylons More Human Than Human?

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Today in the Podcast we came across an interesting topic. What are the limits in the war? Though I think Chuck will vehemently disagree with me on this, I am pro “kick cylon tail” by whatever means available. I don’t think mass attempted genocide with the follow-up of robbing reproductive organs of human women and [...]

Division Amongst The Ranks

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

After viewing the latest Webisode I can honestly say that I would have called it wrong. Duck seemed to react pretty bad after the Chief told him that there were weapons at the temple. I am not sure if he will be very receptive to fighting now that it has cost him his wife.
Upon reflection I [...]

Will the Phoenix rise again?

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

In the episode “Flight of the Phoenix” Chief Tyrol gets the creative itch to build a ship. I consider it to be one of the best episodes of the entire canon. There are a bunch more action packed and a few more sexy episodes, but this one of the character building stories for the Chief. [...]
