Default Battlestar Gallactica - New series starts tonight

For some reason, I haven't seen any advertising on Sky of the impending return of this series. I find this very strange as it is IMHO the best science-fiction series to have been made in recent years.

If any of you are fans (as I am) of this programme, the first episode of Series 3 is on Sky 1 and Sky 1HD tonight at 21:00.

Thumbs up ****SPOILER IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT UP TILL NOW****

as above, Don’t read if you don’t wanna know what happened so far!

Very Briefly, from what i can remember having watched it quite a while ago now!

Starts with the cylons basically killing everyone on earth using Earth own defense system (controlled by machines)

With Gyus (sp) being the traitor although not knowing exactly!

<Cylons can look like humans and there about 12 different models that all look the same>



then all the human spaceships across the galaxy being attacked at the same time, those that can do a 'jump' which is a faster than light thing that takes a while to configure

then the cylons follow battlestar which managed to get away along with a fleet of other ships it protects

loads of cat and mouse chasing with the cylons one step behind.

During this time the cylons begin to feel wiping out all humans may make them as 'bad' as them so have a bit of a re-think

last series ends with gyus ending up as President (long story) and deciding they will settle on a planet with water and breathable atmosphere because its in a shroud of space dust/radiation or something and should be hard for the Cylons to find

they do find everyone a year or so later because of a Nuclear explosion caused by Gyus (long story)

The series ends with Battlestar (in orbit around the planet to protect it) jumping away (no choice) and the humans being rounded up on the planet.


The Blonde Cylon is f*cking amazing and has the best legs on tv! and wears some outrageous clothing which is very pleasing to the eye!

One of the best shows on TV at the mo, no question!


AND YES I AM AT WORK AND I AM BORED!

But thing about the fit bird and Gyus is that the fit bird in Gyus's head is telling him one thing and the Gyus in the original fit birds head is telling him another.

If you get me - plus each imaginary friend know information the real person couldn't know.

Whats all that about!

Yeah that does all get a bit confusing, plus I’m normally distracted by a cunningly angled side-boob shot

The cylons can be regenerated. There was an episode where the humans destroyed the ship that contained the memories of dead cylons.

IIRC shes called a hero amongst cylons as the catalyst for the human downfall. Think shes helping Starbuck and all to escape along with another of the asian girl cylons.

Last series was ages ago so I'm not sure I'm spot on their.

Thumbs up

Well, this series is 20 episodes long .

Just watched tha last episode, the 5 are revealed, and it's a bit of a surprise who they are!

Series 4 (if there is one) should be interesting!
