You misunderstand;

(who really liked pitch black)
Means that I (S.) really liked pitch black. Glad that you did too!
I still haven't seen the sequel with Dame Judy, heard it was awful, care to refute or confirm?

Although not as good as Pitch Black it is very entertaining and it seems to have been done on a huge scale almost like Dune

The sequel is pretty bad....very heavy-handed with all the usual 'chosen one' stuff waaay overdone. Dame Judy must've been embarrased by the character she played...you could almost see it on her face. Oh, and the final shot is a direct steal from the final shot of Conan

I still haven't seen the sequel with Dame Judy, heard it was awful, care to refute or confirm? It's a Dune-wannabe. Sheer crud. Avoid it. Run for the hills if it comes near you. Or brain it with a cricket bat and run away. Just don't watch it... ...Yep, I didn't like it ;D |

I think that the story line has everyone guessing who is a cylon who isn't. The story is just getting better and better. It's even got me guessing now  Is she or isn't she? Will Bartar be backed into a conner and tell who is who?? ;D Just makes me want to see the next show!! |

I see the witch hunt is on for the  I thought riddick was quite good although pitch black was better they are very different films in reality pitch black is Sci-Fi Horror/Thriller and Riddick is a Sci-Fi action Flick. Dont know where this Dune comparison comes from unless your refering to the prophecy of the Mua'dib. Just got Children of dune on dvd should be watching it soon. |

Spoilers for first episodes 0-8...
In the mini-series, the character who is later marooned on Ragnar and turns out to be a cylon... shoot, what's his name, Aaron Doral... he was working strongly against Laura and for Lee Adama, in the initial confusion and power struggle. Together with the "Adama is a cylon" tip from the Leoben Conoy cylon, I conclude Lee Adama is a cylon and Laura is not. Additionally, the cylon females we have seen have all (all two models) had high sex drives (or pretended so, for the purpose of seducing helpful human males), whereas Laura does not show any sex drive. Laura's dreams are troubling me, but perhaps she has been implanted with a cylon in her head, like Baltar. I think the show will torture us to falsely make us suspect Laura, but she will ultimately be innocent.
I also think D. is a cylon, based on her high sex drive (grabbing and kissing a civilian in the hallway?!) and her sexually flirtatious response when she realized that the same guy, now president's aide, was pumping her for information. Plus he gets more action from her now that he is the president's aide. And finally, there is the possibly ironic line "start having babies" said by Commander Adama while he watched D. and this civilian flirting. It would be doubly ironic if the plan of the cylons is to start interbreeding with humans, now that they are a managable number.
D. n Lee... that's where I put my money.

No way is Lee a Cylon!!! He's far to repressed - I'll only believe that he is when he grabs a female and plants a big wet one on her lips and then asks her "Are you alive?" ;D Now all I have to do in the mean time is to figure out a way to get aboard the Galactica so I can be walking by at that crutical moment!!! LOL!!  |

No real spoilers here. I just rewatched 33, and the perkiest people, aside from Internal Six, are:
1. Laura Roslin
2. Lee Adama
3. Lt. Gaeta
4. Boomer
5. Dualla
I was judging mostly for "dark circles under the eyes," as this couldn't be so easily acted by cylons. Roslin definitely has no coloring under the eyes. Aside from some stubble, Lee Adama is pretty much his usual self in appearance and attitude, in sharp contrast to Starbuck, who looks like death until she takes some uppers. Lt. Gaeta talks quickly and seems on his toes. Boomer acts tired in the fighter meeting, but doesn't look bad; someone comments that Boomer is the perkiest in the fleet and Starbuck jokes, "because she's a cylon!" Dualla acts exhausted in her first appearance, and makes one mistake, but later she is quick-acting and standing tall while most of her peers are falling asleep at their consoles - no dark circles, but she is dark-skinned.
Starbuck, Billy, and Cally had pronounced dark circles, so I declare them innocent of the charge of "cylon." Cally has dark circles only in her first scene, though.
Commander Adama and Tigh act tired but don't look that much worse than usual, aside from stubble.
