I've liked the we are are own worst enemy theme.  It's not fifty years old, it's as old as the bible itself.  :)  Maybe even older.

You really need to watch the deleted scenes.  Episode 12 had a deleted scene that laid out the whole cylon plan to anyone with half a brain.  it's more than just machines rebelling against man, which Asimov did to perfection in his books. 

Oh, and um, have you ever noticed just how sexy Ron Moore's voice is?  I'm listening ot his podcast right now.

YEah, but *I'm* not that old!

I'd love to.  Do you have a link?  My wife and I stay about a week behind on episodes because of some really crazy work schedules we've had.  Thus I've avoided most of the BSG threads and have likely missed the link if you've posted it before.

By the way, I've meant to post this for some time:  When the show started this season, I *loved* reading your threads on it.  Even though you'd seen the entire season in advance you were still able to talk about the show and hold interesting discussions without giving anything away and without making me scroll past spoiler warnings.   (I hate doing that, I always end seeing something I wish I hadn't.)  Those were some of the best posts I've ever read from someone who had advanced knowledge on a topic I wanted to read about and yet was polite enough not to spoil it for anyone else.

I'm sorry, what did you say?  I had to stop listening because Boomer was talking......    :P

Thanks for the kind words on spoilers and my early posts.  :)


Here's the link to Ron Moore's Blog:  http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/

Here's the link to the episodes (scroll down for the deleted scenes):  http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes/season01/112/ (the one I referred to is the second row, first picture with baltar and starbuck facing each other)

Also, here's the link for the podcasts:  http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/index.html


Now, here's a SPOILER about the role Dirk Benedict COULD HAVE HAD on BSG:






























Ron Moore's podcast gives us his original ending to the Season:  Baltar walks into a dark room under the Kobol temple and is greated with Jimmy Hendrix music.  Dirk Benedict walks out from behind him and says:  Hi, I'm God (referring to the CYLON GOD).

Much gushing and drooling over Part II of the season finale over at aintitcoolnews

Don't even think of clicking this link unless you've seen it. MAJOR spoilage.

I did say MAJOR SPOILAGE didn't I?

Thanks for the post regarding ratings.  I was leaving for Texas over the weekend and didnt get a chance to look up the ratings for the show to respond, but suspected that what you posted was the case.  Hey Dash... what he said.

I saw the finale Friday night.  Cool!  I think it may be the primer for next season... The whole senior leadership is gone, and their replacements are all evil!  Cool!  I also liked the scene where the chief tells the LT that he needs to get a move on.  That one gets replayed daily in real life.

Back to real life (I hate reruns)
