Discussion of sseason one and beyond-spoilers

Fenster

RAWR, I say, for there will be many spoilers in this thread. I will *not* hold back on anything, so those who hate them be warned.

Right, first off, to make my own summation on what we've seen:

I think we can take it as fact at this point that the Cylons could wipe out the entire fleet if they so wished-Six as much said that she knew Sharon on Caprica was pregnant.

We also know now that the Cylons plan to create some sort of hybrid human/cylon race. I guess that's why they wanted Helo alive-he was the test bed, to use a bad pun.

Basestars-Groovy. No more be said. Well, other than that they appear to be mobile space stations when compared to Galactica's carrier. Not to mention all the funky organic technology. Oh, and its pretty obvious the Cylons let them nuke it

For what's to come...

We're going to see a lot more of Tom Zarek I think, in season 2. The military coup opens up the whole opportunity for a civil disobediance.

There's going to be a few episodes spent at Kobol, for sure. As well as the fact they need vital supplies, we've Starbuck on Caprica (now with Helo and Boomer) with Apollo's Arrow, Tyrrol and co. on Kobol itself and the whole fact that they can't push the oul Star Trek reset button.

Beyond that, there's Boomer on Galactica who's been revealed as a Cylon.

Further on, aliens were mentioned. Dot dot dot.

I think next season starts with a whodunnit style recap, perhaps showing events from another angle. There was alot of extra filming done with Kobol's last gleaming and it wasn't aired.

Should we bother using spoiler tags in this thread? I can understand about spoilers for series two, but otherwise what's the point?

Aliens?

Fenster

Because someone always, always blunders into a thread like this and whinges that we didn't use tags. Call it my eternal desire for the quiet life.

very true He speaks the truth heh heh

Aliens? Where did you get that?

Fenster

Some of the early interviews for the series mentioned that they wanted to hold off on them until season 2. Besides that, the scene at the end of the pilot where Adama and Roslin discuss Earth originally mentioned them (its in the script).

Are those S2 spoiler tags something you know Fenster? Or just your own guesses? Based on what we know, I expect to see some of the following. This is all speculation and I do not wish to be corrected or told what's going to happen by people who've actually gone ahead and spoilt themselves. If you do know and post a spoiler of what WILL happen rather than what you THINK may happen, I will kill you. No smiley face because I'm not joking....

Anyway, SPECULATION

:
* Did Boomer shoot Adama because he's a Cylon or not? I'm going with because she's evil as indicated by OtherBoomers letting the Basestar be destroyed and the "Adama is a Cylon" refers to Lee but that Boomer, in her defence, may try and prove otherwise.

* This will, of course, lead to problems for Crazy Baltar because he gave Boomer a clean bill of mental health. This will mean that he will be discovered (not too likely yet I believe) or that his tests will be proved to be false and once again everyone will be paranoid.

* The Prez. will go to Kobol whereby, somehow, she will discovery technology that will enable her to be healed. It's possible this will be with the aid of Cylon technology, creating a moral dileman of necessity versus morality. However, this comes at a price, possibly some sort of coma induced healing that temporarily enables the resuced Baltar to assume command.

* How will Caprica feature? With Helo gone off with Starbuck, there's less need to focus on it. Possibly, as a result, Starbuck will be stranded on Caprica for a few episodes whilst Boomer has a speeded up pregnancy, resulting in a baby mid-Season 2. This may then tie into a Baltar-as-Leader storyline once, at the same point, he loses his position of credibility over his failure to detect BoomerCylon. With the Prez. back, he can be ousted and flee to the arms of the Cylons with the beginnings of the new race.

* Apollo's arrow, recovered, will only give vague ideas about earth but tie in with the Kobol mythology in some way I can't predict...

* Adama will live. He won't be on screen much and Tighe will be in command, but he won't be dead either. Hopefully not in a coma though, because I'm predicting that for the Prez...

Anyone care to comment... not sure I want Fenster to since he seems to know too much...

Zith

Boomer asked for her test. No one else knows about it.

Stark

Good, but how do we know that Baltar will ever return to Galactica and not just stay with the cylons like the original series Baltar did?
