I was talking about specific precautions such as firewalls, rotating security passcodes, things that would be more than obvious to the Colonials yet there was no evidence of this in the episode. Yes, Baltar and Number 6 made references to unencumbered access to the Defense Mainframe, but unless the Colonial military was incredibly incompetent, the breaches in security would have been found and compensated for.

Your post seems a little testy there, Al, is everything okay? Remember this isn't Hot and Spicy, but Cool and Refreshing.

Nope not testy at all, was just making an observation. You do bring up some very good points, maybe the writers as usual don't think things through as much

I thought the show was great sci-fi. Those who are so closed minded owe it to themselves to at least take a look at the pilot and then judge it. I see it as a new show retelling an old story. It's better than the original despite it's few downsides.

The sex scene was a bit much for a prime time show but I think it was showing how Baltar falls from grace. He's weak like most men when it comes to a sexy woman. She's obviously cultivating him for later otherwise she would have had what she needed and killed him or just let him die on the planet. His getting on SHARON's ship was arranged. I think we will see him get pretty evil later on if the show takes off as a series.

The reason the people developed technology despite the ban on it long ago was many felt the ban was outdated and hindering progress. Many problems needed to be solved and could be done through technology. The Cylons hadn't been around for 40 years. You know how corporations and governments work. If there is no threat then they can not justify something that is either costly or a hindrance to progress. In the name of progress and money we need to move on. That's what we were seeing in Baltar's TV interview.

Baltar completes a navigational program with 6's help. It's the CNP that the Cylons use to shut down the Vipers, Battlestars, and defenses. It's installed in the entire fleet's ships. Since there are probably not many who understand the artificial intelligence of his programming no one probably ever questioned it. This is what the Cylons use to shut down all the fleet. Galactica did not use this new navigational software. It's systems were still antiquated. Adama apparently remembered the threat technology could be and refused to ever let his ship be updated. Probably the main reason it was being retired. 6 was also allowed by Baltar to poke around the defense mainframe thus learning all the fleet defenses, deployments, orders etc.

I'll definitely be watching again tonight. There are already rumors that the execs have given a go for a series.

BTW if anybody saw a sex scene I'd like to know when. Unless Blondie was wearing crotchless undies I don't see how it could have happened.

You just move the little strip of fabric... err, I've already been warned to behave

dangadget · « **Reply #88 on:** December 09, 2003, 01:21:22 pm »

was i the only viewer who heard warning bells going off as the new "reimagining" of the Cylon menace started to unfold?

ahem...Earthsiege? Starsiege anyone?

if you had read the rather extensive backstory that Dynamix studios tried to create for those games, you'd see rather significant similarities.

machines that were originally used to help mankind but then rebelled, attempting to destroy their creators.

a long running war between man and machines.

fear of technology and the intentional "dumbing down" of certain technologies.

pilotless enemy craft.

hmmm......i'm going to dig out my Starsiege reference stuff again, but i assure those of you not familiar with it that the storylines are eerily similar.

Aliens wear panties?

The_Joker · « **Reply #92 on:** December 09, 2003, 01:38:07 pm »

Yes, sexy leather ones, apparently.

Actually, you gotta remember, that while aliens to us, these people are still humans, and Six is modeled after a human, so I'd say that she probably wears panties.

It'll be funny if the only BSG thread that doesn't get locked or moved is the one that degenerates into how to get around a pair of panties.

You see... You use your teeth and....

I just finished watching the second episode of BSG and in short, I am definitely developing a liking for this series. I'd give a more detailed critique of it, but I don't want to spoil it for those who may not yet have viewed it.
