38. HEADS-UP! Feature on Grace Park in the Sunday NY Times

Grace Park's sweet "Battlestar Galactica" character, Sharon, nicknamed Boomer, was eventually revealed as a homicidal Cylon android.

Grace Park, who plays Sharon, didn't notice the miniseries' gasp-inducing twist when she first auditioned for the flashier part of Starbuck. Sharon, she said, seemed like "the best friend you don't put too much weight on, a good person, kind of sad." After being offered that role, however, and rereading the teleplay, it hit her. Talking to Ronald D. Moore, who developed the remake of the 1970's show, "I said, 'You changed her to a Cylon!'" Ms. Park said, recalling her excitement.

I'm in love...

[Cush]

5. woah, Roslin wants to go medieval on Cain's ass

[crispini]

6. Damn, Roslin.

Just damn!

[Moochy]

7. Starbuck has been turned I fear!!

She's hot for her mercenary resistance fighter back on caprica...

There's that whole radiation poisioning and nuclear winter thing, but yeah lets go back to Caprica!

[Cush]

8. nah, probably just playing along

[Moochy]

30. Good call!

You were right on that one. ;-)

[CatholicEdHead]

9. Battlestar Abu-Grarib (Pegusus) is still what it was before

[crispini]

10. Dudes, this Admiral Cain's a real awful person.

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

[johnfunk]

12. She'd make a great Bush appointee

She's amoral and ruthless, just the job qualifications Cheney likes

[CatholicEdHead]

11. Wow, it gets worse and worse with the Pegusus

I am still trying to pick up my jaw from the floor at the commerical break after the first officer talk.

[johnfunk]

37. No question: Cain and Pegasus went "Lord of the Flies"

... after the Cylons first attacked.

Who wants to bet Starbuck assassinates Cain?

[crispini]

14. O

16. Cliff hanger to a bigger cliff hanger

OMG THIS IS HUGH!1!1! I'M SERIES!!!

[CatholicEdHead]

15. Well, next week just got VERY intresting.

[CatholicEdHead]

17. The Podcast from the director should be really intresting

after this one.

[Moochy]

18. Woo thanks for reminding me.

Yeah he gives alot away in those...

[CatholicEdHead]

19. DVD question

Will there be a combined Season 2 release? Or will I have to pick up 2.0 and 2.5 seperatly? And any ideas on the price with the combined Season 2 (if even available) versus buying the two halfs seperatly.

[crispini]

20. Dunno, but it never ceases to amaze me how brilliant this show is.

I mean, it's continually, operatically, over the top. It's like Wagner in space, with sex. :D

[CatholicEdHead]

24. Thanks, I guess I will break in my video iPod with this one

Since the 2.5 DVD set is a few months away. This one and the next may warrent places on my iPod for the next few months.

[Liberal Veteran]

21. Okay...that kicked so much frakking ass....

....that I won't be able to sit down for a week.

I don't know who was the most ruthless: Cain, Adama, or Roslin.

I haven't been that shocked by Roslin since her "Now blow that thing out of the airlock" comment about Boomer 2.0.

[crispini]

22. I think being close to death must give you a lot of clarity.

And I think that Cain is underestimating Roslin's "soft power" -- sometimes people who don't actively practice being an asshole certainly know how to be an asshole.

[Liberal Veteran]

23. I think it was just the casual matter of fact way she presented it.

No sugarcoating or dancing around the subject at all. And it rocked.

[targetpractice]

25. BSG + Arrested Development = Crazy Delicious

Best. TV. Shows. EVAR!!

SPOILER FOLLOWS...

Anyhoo, please note that Adama's and Cain's plan to execute each other was exactly the same plan the Cylon's tried when attempting to execute Adama at the end of the first season (i.e., using Boomer 1.0 as sleeper agent).

Brilliant.

[CatholicEdHead]

26. Good point *Spoiler Reply*

That probably shows a major Cylon weakness. They are too ingrained/programmed to standard Colonial tactics. Their weak spot may be un-orthodox tactics by the remaining Colonial ships.

Also expect to see Caprica again before the end of Season 2.5.

[DanCa]

27. man i cant wait to see next eek. *spoilers*

Do you think Thrace and Lee are g oing to go thru with thier assigned tasks.

[CatholicEdHead]

28. *Spoiler reply*

I do not think it is Thrace holding the gun at the last preview scene. I bet it is Lee or even Cain's first officer.

[Moochy]

29. more spoilers... brought to you in white-on-white text

I agree, and upon review of the preview of ressurection part 2, in super slo-mo tivo....
Here is another spoiler in white on white text :)
Use your mouse to select from here --->

It's a woman with torture marks on her wrist if you look closely, aiming the gun at caine, so I'm pretty sure its "Gina" the copy of 6 that caine had tortured.
<
to here to here < to reveal the spoiler ;)

[CatholicEdHead]

33. Thanks, good to know that

[NewJeffCT]

32. I have to watch it again

luckily I DVR'd it.

[barb162]

31. I just put it on,

thanks for letting me /us know. I am always trying to figure out that show

[LiviaOlivia]

34. Did anyone notice a similarity between the resurrection ship

and the Colorado Springs Air Force Academy cathedral?



Creepy.

[crispini]

35. Wow, you're right! Too funny.

[CatholicEdHead]

36. Now that you show that

Good catch, that is probably an inside design statement in the script. I like the parallels since the recent news from the AFA (fundie control).

[Deja Q]

39. Why couldn't they create a new show instead?

Why bastardize an old one?

Just change the names and voila. No fuss. No muss. Everything's a copycat of everything else so there can be no silly lawsuits. (hell, whoever did the space effects obviously was a fan of Firefly...)
