I'VE GOT IT! We can have Boxey walk in on Boomer while her Cylon side is doing something, and have her kill him. Can you say angst.

They could always sell it to Sci-fi. While they couldn't afford anywhere NEAR the current $5 million per episode budget (I think I heard TNS's was $300,000, but I could be wrong), if they put in it a line-up with both Stargates, and TNS, they could use it to boost their ratings, rather than causing it to plummet.

I think that this lang person has almost no readers, since he's the only person signed up on his own forum. (Gotta love a one person audience, no one will talk back). Besides that, this looks like very good news for BSG. But I think the big thing to watch will be the ratings after the premiere. Also, does anyone have the numbers for the UK ratings? Lang's main readers are people who make fun of him. BTW: xsorbit26.com/users5/languatron/index.php?topic=202.0#msg254

of course, if all the rhetoric b/w "inner 6" and Baltar is only IN HIS HEAD, then the cylons' real motive becomes more difficult to figure out. Yeah, but I think that would be a cop-out.

O.k., if I understand the Cylon religion correctly, they believe that God took all the souls of humanity, and gave them to the Cylons instead. The logical follow-up to this with their holy war would have been to nuke the colonies until all the humans were dead. But instead they used nukes to destroy all resistance, and then OCCUPIED the world. This hints to me that they might not think we're beyond all hope.
Here's my thought, since they've sort of ex-communicated us, it is possible they have a doctrine for re-communication. Maybe that's why Six told Baltar about the Olympic carrier, and why only one Basestar was coming after them. They Cylons would hence believe that the humans that die are the ones God wants to die, but for this to be true SOME have to survive.
My money's on Baltar being the first to be "re-communicated," and I bet they'll have a really cool ceremony too.

Possible spoiler but mostly conjecture... Having just watched the mini on DVD again for the 3rd time i was struck by a line of dialogue inthe final scene: ***spolier for mini - look away if you are yet to watch*** after the big reveal that Boomer is in fact one of the Cylon models, we hear Six's voice stating "By your command". initially i just thought this was a nod to TOS but if you view it again, she appears to be saying it to the Bommer model. could the Boomer model be the imperious leader of this series? having only seen the mini i may have missed numerous facts negating this theory but i would love to hear any ideas for/against this idea. Here's a better idea. What if the imperious leader isn't any one model, but a program that can transmit itself into any Cylon. So it kind of "possesses" it's followers, and acts through them. At the time it was controling that Boomer model.

O.k., I have mixed feelings. On the one-hand I want to see them stick to short, high-quality, seasons for 7 seasons, but at that point you have 91 episodes. If you break-down the mini-series you have 95. We'd still be 5 short of the 100 that's considered the magic number for syndication. I know that not all shows require that (Star Trek and TOS certainly didn't), but I don't want to risk us becomming the "unsyndicated Galactica."

BTW, I couldn't make out some stuff at the beggining, so you're all free to try to add on.

WOW, I saw that bible on the Lowdown and I thought how many of us would kill to get a copy of that. Thanks for doing this, some very interesting stuff in there. Unfortunately, they seem to have selected their pages very carefully.

O.k., I now nominate myself for "Most obsessed TNSer." I recorded "The Lowdown" last night, and after the show was over I spent 45 minutes going frame-by-frame through the few pages they showed of the series bible. I was able to reconstruct this:

This episode was so cool. Within 10 minutes I said to myself "five stars, flat out." I was a bit worried about the "arrow of Apollo." "The ancient artifact that's a working alien device" cliche has been done to death, but I found it didn't matter. I don't even care if it truly points the way to Earth. What's important is the revelation, the drama, the message (think for yourself, conveyed by the fact that Moore doesn't try to convince you of Adama OR Roslin's opinion, but let's you decide what YOU believe).
I was in awe all the way through. I feel that this one episode alone is enough to cement me through season 3 at least.
BTW, over at CF noone's voted below a 9 out of 10, but here we have one 1 out of 5. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE TNS FANS! WE MUST FIND THE HERETIC AND DESTROY IT (I do not use "it" because I don't know if it's male or female, it has lost it's status as a human in my eyes, and hence no longer has gender)!
