Let's get this genocide started.

noodler · 21-06-2009 1:50pm

Looks good, you do worry that it will inevitably suffer from all of us knowing whats going to happen but different perspectives are always good.

Dr. Baltar · 21-06-2009 2:42pm

Looks really good!

Volvagia · 27-06-2009 7:33pm

Looks great, new perspective should be very interesting.

I'm quite interested to know if there's any reason behind the 33mins and other small things like that.

I'm expecting the 33 minutes to be a sick joke on the part of Cavil, linked to the rule of thirds. (33 minutes = 33% = 1/3)

The rule of thirds was believed to be a sign of divinity, that God had a hand in human creation due to proportionate measurements of the human body. The Egyptians and Greeks/Romans are known to have been aware of these measurements and used them. I only did art for a brief period in school but I remember this much regarding Da Vinci's drawings of the human anatomy.

The length of the hand from the bottom of the palm/wrist to the tip of your outstretched middle finger is one third of the distance from the tip of the finger to your elbow.

The distance from the bottom of your chin to the bottom of your nose is one third of the length of your head.

The distance from your eyebrows to your hair line is one third of the length of your face.

The length of your ear is also one third of the length of your face.

If you stand with one foot in front of the other, heel to toe, the combined length of your two feet is one third of your height.

There are others but I can't remember them - attacking the human fleet every 33 minutes would be the kind of thing Cavil would get off on, using the sign of divinty as a means of destroying the human race,

sceptre · 29-06-2009 9:21am

Cavil probably would, yeah. There may be no luck on an explanation behind the 33 minutes. Though having said that, obviously RDM may choose to throw an explanation into the show but it's not as if there'll be time to play around with so I suspect he won't.

(edit: having watched the trailer after posting, feel free to disregard any or all of the above:))

Derek Coleman · 30-06-2009 9:13am

It looks like Shelley Godfrey is in that clip when Baltar goes into the toilets to talk to her.

Can't wait for it. Still miss BSG terribly.

Talisman · 30-06-2009 8:53pm

Tricia Helfer interview January 15, 2009

The prequel movie, The Plan, will air sometime after the series finale. How many questions will it answer, and how many new questions will it raise?
It may raise a few, but I don’t think that was the plan of The Plan! [laughs] It answers big things, like what the Cylons’ plan was, but also little things. There’s an episode in the beginning with one of the Sixes, Shelly Godfrey, and fans were like, how’d she disappear and get off the ship? Well, this will show you how. And a lot of it is from Brother Cavil’s and Sam Anders’ perspective.

Mal-Adjusted · 02-07-2009 9:59am

So, when does this air?

Talisman · 06-07-2009 9:50pm

In November on U.S. Sci Fi channel. No exact date is available yet.

jor el · 15-07-2009 4:41pm

I thought the 33 minutes was the amount of time it took the Cylons to relocate the fleet after they made a jump. Pretty sure that was what they guessed in that episode. I had never thought about it any more than that.

Nice to see that we'll find out how Miss Godfrey got off Galactica.

_CreeD_ · 01-08-2009 2:30am

1/3 of an hour is 20 mins.....

kabuk1 · 08-08-2009 9:32am

When I first saw this, I was very worried. I so didn't want them to ruin it, but after watching the trailer and realising it's the cylons side of the story, I got very excited. I so can't wait for this. I hope it airs between 19-29 Nov as I'll be in the states then.

This looks good, really really good!

sprinkles · 08-08-2009 4:56pm

Looks good, I will embrace anything that give me my fix of cylons

I'm almost 6ft, that would mean each of my feet would be 12inches long, which isn't the case. DaVinci was overhyped

skywalker_208 · 11-08-2009 10:26pm

looks interesting cant wait.
Caprica will be starting soon too!

Volvagia · 11-08-2009 10:29pm

Caprica out on 22-Jan-2010 according to Myepisodes.com

Thats the pilot so i'd imagine it will continue on weekly after that.

cotwold · 12-08-2009 6:54am

Its so cruel that the pilot was out soooo much earlier than the series. The anticipation is to much.

tvnutz · 18-09-2009 3:23pm

What's the story with the Plan? When is it due to be aired?

c0mpliant · 18-09-2009 5:16pm

Its available for download on the 27th of October and on telly then in 2010

Biggins · 22-09-2009 10:48pm

Looking forwards to this.
Just bought the blu-ray complete series of BG so will be re-watching it all again beforehand on my full HD LED 46 inch screen with 5.1 surround sound.

Roll on Caprica too.
(I'm quietly praying it don't get pulled before it even get a chance)

I just got the blu-ray box set last week and it's taking an almighty amount of will power not to watch it until I see The Plan

"Because after you see The Plan, you'll want to go back and view the whole series again."

This is true. Good point.

noodler · 23-09-2009 5:53pm

The only place to buy the Blu Ray complete series at the mo is Amazon that I can see.

I kind of hope it gets a little cheaper. Their tax and delivery push up the price.

Firefly Fan · 24-09-2009 12:12am

Husband got the box set for 125 I think. Expensive enough but to see it in such clarity is something else.
(That, Firefly/Serenity and the West Wing are our top shows)

Christoph · 25-09-2009 2:15pm

I can't wait for The Plan and Caprica as well. The Plan will be first, right? I've heard that Caprica -The Pilot was in the air? Is that true?

The Caprica pilot was aired months ago (before Christmas I think). The Plan is planned to air some time in November, and the Caprica series should be some time next year.

Edit: there's been an update. Looks like it will premiere on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download on Oct 27th, then get its TV outing some time in 2010: http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment/20090717/LA4793117072009-1.html

Ok, thx for the information. So I have to look for it.

degrassinoel · 18-10-2009 5:07pm

the plan has been leaked onto the internet already
obviously cant say where to look but its out there

Hmm, Olmos said there'd only be another movie if people actually bought the plan.

Since I will be buying it I think I might as well watch it on BR.

True and we should all keep those preorders in there, but for those who like a good spoiler YAY.

Just noticed it popping up there, tonight's viewing sorted.

_Kooli_ · 18-10-2009 6:35pm

Its a bit confusing at first.
But it sorts itself out.
Not bad at all.

I dont think there will be any more movies as they sold off most of the sets and equipment earlier this year.
Btw I just noticed that The Plan is written by that hack Jane Espenson and not Ron Moore.
My hopes have nose dived .
