There is nothing wrong with season 4 and I was not at all surprised by the direction it went. Black Market / Scar / Sacrifice in season 2 will always be the lowpoint of the show.

People say "soap opera" as if Battlestar Galactica wasn't great precisely because it featured real humans, unlike Star Trek and the likes.

So Starbuck was an angel at the end? And so was the head Six? And head Baltar for Six? is this right?

>>84713311
Head Six and Baltar were legit Angels of God influencing their real counterparts to follow his plan, Starbuck was Starbuck, temporarily returned to mortal form by God with knowledge of where Earth was so the human/cylon hybrid race had somewhere to live. Leoben was just in love with her and called her an angel a few times which confused the matter.

>>84713400
yeah but she disappeared at the end, if she was just regularly returned to life she wouldn't do that, right?

also, check

>>84713447
That's the temporary part, she was definitely a human mortal before she died, and divine intervention allowed her to return, but she was not divine herself and didn't know anything extraordinary except her sense of where Earth is. In the context of Maelstrom, it may even have been in God's plan that she died before taking them to Earth.

His family was rich though wasn't it? His dad was a criminal defense lawyer with mob ties?

>>84715842
Wealth doesn't mean shit when you're the Commander of a Battlestar on permanent deployment, much less after the destruction of the colonies. His father was a lawyer, but I don't remember any hints about him being involved with the mob

>>84715671

the New Caprica Rescue Operation was GOAT scifi action.

Daily reminder that Felix Gaeta did nothing wrong.

>>84715935
It really was. I want to rewatch it but I don't remember which episodes they were specifically.

>>84715915

I know William Adama, the Commander/Admiral wasn't affiliated. In fact he had a disdain for his father. I just saying he probably wasn't living hand-to-mouth. But I'm sure his parents fought just like Adama and his wife Carolanne did making an awkward childhood for lee and zak.

That didn't bother me, and it retrospectively made what she did to Six that much more horrific.

>>84716975
Well, duh.

>>84717247

it makes the horrific punishment more justifiable IMO. Cain had feelings for her, but she was just a machine manipulating her. Imagine how violated and hateful she felt? I would have let the entire deck crew run a train on that 6 if I was Cain.

>>84716975
>>84717247
With the exception that she was ready to go into armed conflict the last survivors of humanity and plotted to murder Adama.

>>84717427
He was compromised.

>>84717427
Adama was a self-confessed soft touch, Cain was too much of a hardass, they both should have compromised. In her defence, she didn't plot to kill him until he threatened a mutiny against her because he disagreed with her disciplinary procedures during a time of war.

I thought it was completely irrational for people who hated Cylons for everything they did - Roslin, Adama, most of the main cast, to suddenly trust and accept the non-Cavil, rebel faction of skinjobs when they decided to team up. I supported Felix's position in the rebellion.

I also wish that the other Cylon we never see, Daniel, had some kind of significance in the show, like he could have been alive, and been put into play to unite Cylon & Humans and been working behind the scenes prior to the final 5's memory loss and reveal. That way, the resolution would have come from within the plot, from characters themselves, instead of the deus ex machina that it was. They can still have the head angels and Starbuck leading them to Earth but the bulk of the plot could have not been divinely resolved.

>>84718492

I was kinda hoping Starbuck was the Daniel model. Cavil trying to destroy Daniel damaged it or something and the model became a woman or some shit.
They have some similar traits, Id just like Starbuck to be a cylon model so her plot makes any sense

>>84718433

we can be hur dur did nothing wrong on the net but my point is, the narrative made them villains, the narrative considered them villains. the morality of their actions from we the viewers isn't my point. they were made into bad guys.

>>84718492
>I also wish that the other Cylon we never see, Daniel, had some kind of significance in the show
Reposting this because it's relevant, and the only explanation there is for his existence, which is out-of-universe:

>>84471861
> One thing I never understood is the Cylon numbering, early on they were all random numbers under twelve, which makes sense, but then for some reason either the fans or writers decided the final five had to have the last five numbers, so they invented the dead number 7 to make it make sense, but why would the "final five" be the highest numbers when they were the creators of the rest? Shouldn't they have been 1-5, unless they knew they were going to have exactly 8 other kids and named themselves accordingly, but that's weird.

>>84718536

Yeah, there was definitely a lot of opportunity to bring in something else in there.

I was a teenager when the show was airing and I remember watching and thinking "oh wow this Daniel thing is out of nowhere, I wonder where they take it.", and then it went nowhere and I ignored it. When I rewatched the series a few years ago I couldn't believe the show runners didn't take that opportunity.

>>84718571
Well obviously they were supposed to be the bad guys in the show, just like they wrote DS9: Duet to make Dukat the bad guy, but I'm not memeing, the only unjustifiable thing they did was Zarek having the council murdered, everything else was justifiable as forcibly removing the commander by mutiny due to him conspiring with the enemy.

>>84718697

I disagree, the cylons were needed in some way. For one, Galactica was fucked. they needed that magic metal goo.

>>84718810
The goo didn't work, so the captains refusing to allow the Cylons aboard to install it did nothing except prevent the enemy boarding their vessel, making them smell like a latrine and making them susceptible to being taken over by a brain-damaged toaster.

>>84718890

We only know the goo didn't work after the fact. You can't use that to make the decision.

>>84718943
They didn't want them aboard for the reasons I stated, the fact that it didn't work is a counter-argument to your post.

No it's not.
Hey commander lets weigh whether we need the cylons or not
well we need to fix the metal superstructure
(other reasons and blah blah or whatever)

Needing a ship to not fall apart is more important than muh genocide.

The goo not working AFTER we do it, is not a counter argument. You're not to know that it won't work when you decide whether or not to do it. I'm not sure how you don't see that your thinking is kinda post hoc there. All the goo not working does it mean you may have reason to throw them off after you discover it doesn't work, but the need for their restorative technology is easily a far greater point than any of the muh genocide concerns

This was in 2006 when it was announced. Well before the writers strike. I still remember thinking, "Why do they need two years before production can continue?"

It always confused me that the female cylons were GORGEOUS and the male cylons were... not fugly but not anywhere near the standard of attractiveness reached by the women. If the cylons were trying to infiltrate on earth surely being sexy would HELP.

>>84719792
Most people in high ranking STEM and military fields are straight males, hence attractive females, which also work for lezzers like Cain. Who exactly would the attractive male Cylons target? And I don't know what women consider attractive, are you a gay? Isn't Anders attractive? I would have guessed so.

>>84719888
I'm actually a lesbian.

I totally forgot about Anders.

I mean a woman turned out to be the president in BSG, an attractive cylon male could have targeted her.

I always got the sense that the BSG world was a more gender balanced society. What with high-ranking women in the army, and those unisex bathrooms.

>>84720177
Women were in the military, but still in non-combat roles, like pilots and bridge officers, I don't think there were any female marines. BSG was realistic like that.

also one of the galactica's marine sargeants was a woman

starbuck was a fighter pilot...and there where other female viper pilots

there were a bunch of female raptor pilots and raptprs were also combat ships, they often carried a missile payload

it was definitely a more equal society, but also the women seemed to be way more competent than in our societu

>>84720423
Pilots fly planes, they don't typically land and do the jobs of marines, and in real life that never happens, that's what I mean by combat roles.
