Glad you liked the Caprica DVD. I think that would have been a great idea to incorporate an edited version for the entire family to watch.

Bingo on the mono-theistic origin. Suddenly everything in Battlestar Galactica made sense. OK, well, maybe not everything.

And this story totally explains the Cylon’s mono-theistic origins.

Thanks for that tidbit.

Sorry but I thought of Second Life when the line “she de-rezzed”. Rezzing is a second life term.

I wonder, am I the only one who will admit to seeing Magda Apanowicz (Lacey) on Kyle XY?

>>(Lacey? what kind of name is Lacey for anyone other than a stripper? etc.)<<

I just had horrible images of Cagney and Lacey on stripper poles. You owe me a clean puke bucket!

I am sure that who ever Zoe (and sister willow?) was following could have been a cylon from Earth….maybe one who escaped….since kobol made the first cylons which included there astro projection ( Galen could project with Boomer)

Romo Lamkin SAW his dead Cat!

Laura and Gauis both ‘projected’ the Opera House!

The nudity in the DVD version was totally unnecessary and gratuitous, I expected a bit of class from the creators of BSG. I don’t know how anyone can vouch for those boob-shots as augmenting the story and do so with a straight face.

Plus, what’s with all the teen drama? I thought Caprica/BSG were broadcast on Sci-Fi (sorry, SyFy ) not the WB?

I like character dramas, but these characters were weak and forced. Adama has morals when they suit Ron Moore’s whims and he loses his morals when they’re inconvenient. Almost all the young actors in the pilot made me cringe (Adama’s daughter, Willy Adama [Willy... classic!], Lacey (Lacey? what kind of name is Lacey for anyone other than a stripper? etc.) .

I knew they were going to put Zoe’s brain in the robot body but I was praying and hoping they wouldn’t. I just can’t take that plot-line seriously: a 7-foot tall, 1-ton killing machine with the brain of a horny 16-year old girl…

I loved BSG but this show is the spawn of egos too massive for television that was rushed into production while the writers were probably shackled to Ron Moore’s Benz as they were forced to write contrived drivel for his amusement.

Thanks.

Yes, Galactica has quite a history – but if I get the timeline right, the battleship will be build eight years after the events in the pilot, so even the technology of this paper laptop would be somehow old at that point. But well, it’s a military ship which becomes like you said a museum, that doesn’t need the latest technology. And who in the fleet would need online mobile devices anyway, when there’s no ‘world wide web’ anymore to connect to… (At least no civilian web.)

Another thing that surprised me: the young William Adama is 11 years old in the pilot, so he’ll be 69 at the fall of Caprica? Well I know he’s called the ‘old man’ at that point of time, but really that old? (Man I hope I’ll be in that good shape at this age then…) I’d rather had guessed about 10 years younger, 58-60 perhaps. (I mean, Edward James Olmos was in his fifties when BSG started, and didn’t look like he should be about 70 in my opinion.)

Still wonder if Greystone (Stoltz) really ‘feels’ something or cares for his daughter at all, or if he is only interested in her personal programming achievements and therefore just manipulates everyone around him to get them. But perhaps this is no real black and white situation here.

That’s why we’re here Xolodnyj. To take care of our readers with info that otherwise might not be known.

Thanks for coming by.

What really impresses me is the darkness of the pilot. But as far as technology goes, their may be better technology that exist, but we may find later on that a lot of that stuff may have been ban. After all, the Galactica wasn’t as technological advanced as the other battlestar, and that is what saved it.

Well said.

I was about to point out that the Galactica was about to become a museum and had nothing but old tech… but dang, you covered it.

(Btw, about this ‘paper laptop’ – I think it is somehow interesting that we never saw any kind of that or similar mobile techology at BSG. Not that it would be really THAT important, but this ‘past’ looks to me in some way more modern than the future displayed in BSG. Of course, in BSG we mainly see the inside of an ‘old’ military ship, so the technology used there is rather functional. And when your planet is attacked you’d certainly rather try to save your life than one of your mobile devices… But still, I mean how much technology do we already carry around.)

Anyway, it’s nice to see how it all started – the implications of religion to the Cylons in BSG seem to make more sense now, let’s see how this continues!

XOLODNYJ noted that he did the digital download but he did not get any extras with it.

I’m bummed for you bud! The extras are what complete this package.
