"The Drumhead" wasn't the first hour of epsidodic TV to address McCarthyism-type trials. So it's kind of unfair to say that BG ripped off that episode, since that TNG episode wasn't very original itself.

^^^^^ They sure do :)

They were "pretty sure" he was a cylon,They left him sitting at that station where they re-armed.Remember at the very end of the mini-series,he was sitting there & multiple copies of him & the other cylons blasted through the door & walked up to him.

If I remember correctly they had reasons to believe he was a cylon, but I'm not sure if he really was one.

Umm ,You mean after all the other cylons,including multiple copies of himself ,calmly walked in & started talking to him ,you're still not sure if he really was one????

Seriously though ,I don't think there is a "Real Human" version of any of the cylon copies.

What is up with Baltar? Is he just metally screwed up from destroying his entire civilization, and as said 6 is his brain trying to help the rest of civilization while hiuding his past, or is she trying to finish destroying it? Or did the Cylons implant a Harvey type chip in his head that has him doing their work?
I thought it was the first, but some of the stuff that 6 is suggesting makes me wonder if she is simply his guilt and subconscience trying to cover up his deed.


Please give us a hint when your spoiler is going to be from a much later episode, instead of the regular next episode spoilers.

Is (Caprica Boomer) tyring to become impregnated by Helo. Is this the "big plan"?

I was not even aware Appolo missed this episode. What a forgettable character.

caprica boomer, pretty big spoiler for later episodes

I just got into this series. can someone straighten me out...
===================
there is an original series (back in the 70s) called Battlestar Galactica

there is a new mini-series with the same title

there is a new regular series with the same title
===============
do i have that right? if so, i think i missed the mini-series (unless that's what they are playing on Sci-Fi right now).

Correct. The mini-series is already on DVD and it's also being played on UniversalHD this Sunday night, if you have that channel.

no idea what UniversalHD is so i guess i don't have that channel. so is the mini-series just a remake of the original? meaning, is it the same exact story but with different actors or is it the same basic premise but with different adventures?

UniversalHD is available on DirecTV for sure, I don't know about other places. But, only if you have the High Def package and an HDTV.

The mini-series and series are very loosely based on the original. It's not a continuation, sequel, or remake. Just a "reimagining". Same basic premise: but with different adventures, different actors (well, other than having Richard Hatch guest-star as somebody completely different), and different types of Cylons. :)

The 2 part Mini-series is the Pilot for the new ongoing series ,Its loosely based on the old original show but totally "re-imaged" ,& a very good character based, dramatic sci-fi series IMo

I dont think so!

Good episode. Adama is turning out to be one of my favorite characters. He doesnt take crap from no one.

WOW! :drool:

I just got into this series with the mini-marathon that SciFi did last week, and I think I'm ready to declare this as my second favorite show on tv right now. It's fantastic.

Thanks for the heads-up about the mini-series airing on UniversalHD this Sunday. I didn't watch it when it aired and I was actually planning on picking it up on DVD this week. Thankfully now I don't have to.

relatively big spoiler as it gives away where it's happening

In the miniseries, it seemed to be a dup by Baltar to deflect blame upon himself for something but as it so happened, he was correct in pinning the blame on [Talk Show Host Radiohead reference]news guy[/Talk Show Host Radiohead reference].

BTW...MORE KATIEBUCK!!!!
