In regardst to Boomer, If I remember right, in the very beginning, it was stated (written on screen) that the Cylons had the new improved Version of Humans, however, I believe it also stated that some of them were unaware they were Cylons until they were activated or notified somehow. If this is true, Boomer could have been a sleeper and is now just coming to grips after all this time that she is in fact a dreaded Cylon and not a human..... hmmmmm could be interesting twist

Yeah funny thing is my Ma and Sis watch BSG and they feel soooo sorry for poor Boomer because she is so sweet and nice and is now a cylon but doesn't seem to want to be.

I rented the movie and so far have watched the doco and the first 30 minutes. I think cigars and ties are anachronistic, but overall I find the realistic space fighting intriguing. That sort of highly realistic fighting, representing the flow of battle, is slightly confusing as you can't really make out everything at once, but I realise that it is a more realistic method. It appears to be like B5 though, where the set design is low key to save money for the effects (though the sets are at least believable), but I have no problem with it. I wait in anticipation for a BSG mod and the new shipsets.

Starhawk, I think you just hit on part of why the show is so compelling, you not only feel for the heroes but the villians too, or at least some of them.

I'm not sure if anyone has expressed this or not but, for any fans of the original who are not wanting to watch the new one even Richard Hatch has come to like it, and he fought it tooth and nail before production.

Richard Hatch is getting a guest starring role. From the sounds of the chacater it might be a reoccuring role.

I like the series for several reasons. I like the fact that they have Glen Larson as a creative consultant, and Richard Hatch in a re-occuring role. Very cool. Now if only they could use the original music in a few good area's, and Dirk Benidict (sp) in a guest role.

I love how they took on real problems like running out of water and fuel. I am egar to see more of the series, and hope that they also find other, newer Battlestars - say the Pegasus, survived.

The more favorable people rate the series, the more it will draw in an audiance and boast the budge. This is one series that I would like to see go longer than a year.

Finshed viewing. To add to the list of anachronisms I include glasses. I keep reading of criticisms of the Presidents decisions, and this may only apply to the Mini-series, but I can't disagree with any of the decisions she made. They all seemed to make perfectly logical sense. I have one question though. I am hard of hearing so short of disturbing the whole neighbourhood I can't hear some of the dialogue. Is Starbuck the daughter of the XO?.

I don't think so. But that would explain why they seem to hate each other so much. Would be interesting if it turned out she was and neither of them knew it yet. They haven't really established Starbuck's family history. Would be quite a shock if it turned out she was the offspring of some torrid affair Col Tigh had years ago.

Perhaps it might be recurring if he doesn't go to jail for tax evasion.

Geo: Actually, now that you mention it, I think your right.
