Okay....I just have to ask these questions....let's face it....we are....BSG....
uhhhh...."geeks"?! Man I hate that word...sorry!

Who was/were your favorite character(s)?
Who was/were your least favorite character(s)?

The series finale...."thumbs up" or "thumbs down" or "still collating"?

Were there any issues, characters or plot lines, etc. that, in your opinion, were not dealt with properly or were ignored? This applies to the entire series not just the finale.


These questions should get the ball rolling. Have a "frakking" great day!!

Well T.J.!!....let's see how I can put this in as few words as possible. I will give you the "short version"...very short. I would hate to give too much of the story away in case you decide to watch it on DVD.

The humans created the Cylons(remember, they looked like "toasters"). Eventually the Cylons "rebelled" against the humans and so began the human-cylon war. Eventually an armistice was agreed to and the Cylons and humans "parted ways". Once a year a representative of the humans and a representative of the Cylons were to meet at a specially constructed space station to discuss the treaty, deal with any concerns, etc. For forty years the humans sent someone....the Cylons sent no-one. Until...Tricia Helfer (#6) shows up, looking "spectacular" I might add! She is accompanied by two "bodyguards" who do not look human. Basically, for 40 years the Cylons have been very busy "tweeking" and "improving" their "race" (for lack of a better word). The Cylons have created 12 models that look human (I won't tell you any more than that) of which there are multiply copies of each model. And those "clunky" toasters that were in the old series? They are much improved!! So, there you have it, T.J.! If you love Sci-Fi, then I suggest you rent "The Battlestar Galactica Miniseries". It is the 3 hour debut. When I was writing the part about #6 (Tricia Helfer) arrival on the space station in the paragraph above, it gave me goosebumps!

That is the short form...very short!

Thanks for the info but i kinda liked the 'toaster version as you call em, Maybe it's due to when i was in highschool i use to play dungeons and dragons a lot and the DM put Cylons in the game as villians silly yes but we were like 13 and 14 at the time Jennifer

T-J, I will admit that the "Centurians" from the old show looked pretty cool. But the show as whole was horrible. Tacky, cheap, typical 70's hoky sci fi. Tha annoying kid! That annoying dog! But the Cylon Centurians looked great!

Okay, TJ, you asked for it! "[SIZE="4"]By your commandSIZE]"

[ARIES666]

Sorry....Centurions!! Frakk!!!!!

[transjen]

True Boxy and his robot dog Muffit were annoying but the clyon and the ships were nice and the show had humor like Boltar talking to his second in command 'Mock my words' And the second in command replies back " Don't i always" Jennifer

I liked the show too. My favorite would probably be Admiral Adama, with Starbuck running a close second and my least favorite is Tom Zarek. Overall I liked the finale, it was pretty cool.
