“A certain arc is an eerie precursor to what could happen Thursday.

Sorry, I was cooking… wet fingers!

The arc where Zarek and Gaeta conspire to take over the fleet... Watching that entire arc again? It's scary how accurately they could predict modern politics almost 2 decades before the crap show we are in now.

I really Frakking LOVE IT!!

(If you have a write in, put it in the comments)

Edit: There's word going around of sample ballots for "Chamalla" and "Don-Eld" we don't have anyone in the fleet by either name. We've yet to see one of these ballots, but if you do please find a poll worker on your ship and we'll correct it.

I challenge you - who can create the best D&D character sheet for the Old Man? Whatever floats your boat. I know this fandom has to have some good nerd crossover synergy!

I’m like an hour in. Why/how are they unaware that the cylons blew up the DMZ-type-ship killing the officer they sent there at the beggining

Forgive me if this has been explained; I looked in this sub, but didn't see an answer. DRADIS stands for Direrction RAnging and DIStance. But aren't RAnging and DIStance the same thing? If not, please explain.

EDIT* I LOVE the use of DISposition or DIScrimination. Makes MUCH more sense to me. Actual or not, its my head canon now!!!!!

Just finished a Battlestar Galactica rewatch and wanted some lighter fare.

Watching Royal Pains. Dr Emily Peck is played by Anastasia Griffith, kid sister of Apollo.

Maybe I'm going to get accused of gatekeeping here but we have two (yes two) wonderful versions of Battlestar, each have explored Glen Larson's story in their own way and covered all the ground that we really need. I cannot imagine a show coming out in these times we live in that would be more celebrated, or even add anything of worth to what we already have to enjoy.

Caprica however, I always felt was overlooked and covers a period of time (correct me if I'm wrong) that fans would like to see more of. The potential in the Caprica show was insane looking back, it was just released too soon (imo) which resulted in it becoming the janky, convoluted, and oddly cast mini-beast that it is.

Personally one of my biggest frustrations was that it intertwined the Adama family with the main plot so much, causing the universe to suddenly feel so much smaller. They should have used the opportunity to expand into other areas that went beyond the core story, instead of leaving us with alot of small personal drama between the main characters that eventually became really hard to really care about.

I did enjoy some of it when it came out, but should they have waited a few more years as I think there would have been far more enthusiasm from the fanbase for it, and there would have been more time to put together a plan for a proper arc that covers the time leading up to the first Cylon War.

I recall sensing a touch of tiredness, and even a little frustration from the fan base after the final season of BSG (the last being the most decisive season) and I think unless it had been a lightning in a bottle production, Caprica was never going to capture the wider fanbase's interest when it came out. Even if it was a competent show, due to the subject matter, it would only ever have gathered a cult following around this time.

Now people have explored potential reboots of BSG in recent years, I think enough time has passed, and thanks to streaming, enough new fans are here for this show to be a success.

Not that it's likely, but if any showrunners ever read this, I implore you to PLEASE look into the idea of revisiting the whole idea of the Caprica series before BSG.

There's so, so much potential there.

Talking about models like starships or figurines.

Any other SciFi show like Star Trek, Warhammer 40k or SW has plenty of those, but when I looked this up for BSG I only find some old merch on Ebay & fan forums for absurd prices. Becos none are in production anymore. For decades.

You would think think a popular show like BSG would have plenty of merch but they are rarer to find and more expensive than some classic cars lol.

Whoever holds the license atm, do they hate money or something?

In general, physical media is much better quality than streaming.

Razor, The Plan, the webisodes, etc. are included in the BSG Complete Series.

It doesn't really seem you can get Caprica on a US-version Blu-Ray for a decent price.

But that prequel has too many things that just cannot really make sense anyway; so, I've never really had a problem with not owning it on Blu-Ray.

Does anyone know why Grace Park does not have any social media presence? Or am I missing something somewhere?

How do you think the gods were chosen in what order to be given to each of the colonies? Like Scorpia is well known for its shipyards you would think it would be a mechanical oriented God like hephaestus? But no it is dionyses the god of drinks and parties lol if any plant should have gotten now on it should have been like areilon singing as it's a agricultural world who would produce wine most likely or at least a grapes to be made into wine but what are your thoughts

I understand Universal owns the rights. But at the very least they should consider allowing someone else to reboot BSG. Universal should make this into a tv show live action and let the people decide. Or film and I’m pretty sure they will make profit. With no Star War, Star Trek films in theaters. They’d have nothing but an easy path to success in the box office. Universal should turn BSG and give it the funding Disney does with Star Wars

Got to get my 3rd Pic with Katee. 1st time I met her was at Star Wars Celebration wearing my BSG t-shirt. Last year, I was wearing Star Wars. This time back to BSG 😁

I wasn’t able to make it to the con, but I think I’m going to try and go next year (assuming it's for sure happening?). But because I’ve never been to a con before:

How was your experience of the con? Both in comparison to other cons, but also in itself as a celebration and gathering for BSG.

What happened during the con and what did you do? I know from what was public beforehand it seemed like a lot of interviews, talkbacks, and photo-ops. Was there anything more? Either part of the official con or otherwise.

What was worth it and what wasn’t? I saw that there were multiple tiers available to purchase.

PS: Loving the photos y’all have been posting from the event too!

I did a double-take, like, "hang on! Is that Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh)?!"

(It was)

P.s. The film was called Christmas In The Wilds and Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl) was in it too 😲

He conceals it well. I was watching Counterpart, Jamie makes an appearance, and it was so bizarre...

Always loved this episode. The actors did such a wonderful job. Seeing the range of emotions, extreme happiness in finding the planet, working alliance with cylons, the disappointment and breakdown of so many integral characters. This covers the scope of humanity to me.

Starbucks quote "What am I?" Is such a great reflective point as we each develope in such a way when we look back at periods of our life (e.g. childhood) we may see how much we changed and what we originated from or confusion of what we've become.

The darker periods of Dee's and Gaida's breaks reminded me of the pain in loosing family.

Just overall such a wonderful range of actors in conveying a humanity.

Edit lol meant Cylon not colon

I read somewhere that Tyrol goes up north and becomes Santa Claus, based on the idea that the Final Five have already been living for thousands of years. That got me thinking… Does Saul become Odin?
