Interview with Jamie Bamber (Apollo)

I just read an article of an Interview with Jamie Bamber (Apollo in "Battlestar Galactica") on tv.com and apparently Season 3 promises to be very exciting. Apparently,

"We get to see a lot more of the Cylons. We go inside the Cylon base ship, and onto the Cylon world."

said Jamie Bamber.
As for me I cannot wait for October 6th to be here.

If you would like to read the entire article.

The Resistance - Webisode 7 Video

Here is the video of the 7th Webisode of The Resistance of "Battlestar Galactica". Enjoy!

The Story So Far - Free on iTunes

Yes, it's true, for all of you who would like to refresh their memories, iTunes provide a recap of both Season that aired on Sci-fi - "Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far".

Webisode 7 online!

You can now watch the Webisode 7 of the Resistance of Battlestar Galactica on Sci-fi.

Again, following its short format, the video is about 2 minutes long. It is about time the real season started.

One more week till Season 3

Yes, it is almost time to start watching "Battlestar Galactica" again. In only a week and a half the new Season starts. We have 4 webisodes left to watch and the last one will be a day (yes a day) before Season 3 starts on Friday October 6th.
I cannot wait to see "Battlestar Galactica" again, can you?

The Resistance - Webisode 6 Video

Here it is finally the video of the 6th webisode of "The Resistance" of Battlestar Galactica"

The Resistance - Webisode 6

So the 5th webisode is online for you to check out and will be on this site tomorrow.
I almost forgot to watch it. With work time goes by so fast and we're already more than a halfway done.

It seems that the webisodes do not move forward very fast. I am still waiting for some action or big event to happen.

Only a couple weeks to wait until the return of "Battlestar Galactica" for a whole new Season 3.

The Resistance - Webisode 5 video

Here it is finally, the video of the 5th webisode of the resistance of Battlestar Galactica:

Webisodes are so short

Don't you feel the webisodes are too short. It almost makes you want to wait until there are 3 or 4 available that you haven't seen to watch all of them in a row. But still, it is a great plan to keep Battlestar Galactica in your mind and ready for Season 3.
So far, the webisodes haven't been as exciting as the actual Battlestar Galactica episodes, but I guess that's why they are webisodes, made to make you wait for the new Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica.
Still, I can't wait to see the new webisode Thursday. (Only 2 days to go!)

The Resistance - Webisode 5

And yes, the webisode 5 of "The Resistance" of Battlestar Galactica is online! I will be watching it later in the day. I will be posting the video later as it becomes available, so be patient.
You can also catch them on the Sci-Fi website.

Battlestar Galactica Video Blogs on Sci-fi

Enjoy!

Battlestar Galactica: Season 3 Preview

Here is a Preview for Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica, now doesn't make you wish it was October 6th already?



Here is another one that you can also see at the end of Webisodes.



Stay tuned for more Websidoes coming Tuesday at Midnight.

Webisodes - The Resistance

I finally watched the first 4 Webisodes of Battlestar Galactica (also posted on this blog).
I think this is a wonderful idea, it keeps you waiting and wanting more at the same time for Season 3.
Funny enough, up til now, only secondary characters have been seen in "The Resistance" Webisodes of Battlestar Galactica, like Colonel Tigh, the Chief and Callie. No Starbuck or Apollo, yet?

Up to date with Season 2 - [spoilers]

So I finally finished watching Season two of Battlestar Galactica, and I have to say: What a switch!
After installing themselves on New Caprica, the episode moves a year ahead in time, a year!!!!
I have to say I have mixed feelings about that, on the one hand it's an awesome season finale, but on the other I don't know what to expect from Season 3, because I feel they took away the essence of Battlestar Galactica by moving everybody out of Battlestar Galactica and getting them a new life. I mean the Chief is with Callie now (who is pregnant!), Starbuck is married (and not to Apollo, to whom she doesn't speak much). I feel like I lost all the excitment of Season One.
Now the Cylons run New Caprica, and as we understand it in the webisodes, a Resistance is starting to rise up.
Well, let's just wait and see Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica, Season 3.

The Resistance - Webisode 4

Here it is for your viewing pleasure! :-)

Webisode part 4 tonight

FOr those keeping track, tonight is the 4th webisode for Battlestar Galactica's "The Resistance" on Sci-Fi.
The webisode will be posted tonight at midnight. Unfortunately some of us have to work and won't be able to stay up and watch it, but thank God it stays on and we will be able to catch it later.
Stay tuned for the video tomorrow.

The Resistance - Webisode 3

For your viewing pleasure, here is the 3rd part of The Resistance Webisodes of Battlestar Galactica.

Webisode - The Resistance part 3 Tonight

For those who follow, part three of the Resistance Webisodes will be put on the Sci-fi website tonight at Midnight.
It's going to be a long night.
I will try to post the video tomorrow on the blog for those who do not have access to the Sci-fi website.
Stay tuned!

Pegasus - Rape scene

Did you know that two versions of the rape scene of Sharon of Battlestar Galactica were filmed?
The first one is of course the one we actually saw in which Helo and the Chief get to Sharon before Major Thorne starts raping her.
In the other version, Major Thorne had started to rape Sharon when Helo and the Chief got there.
I guess they decided to go with the softer version. I think that was a wise decision. It still conveyed the same to me without actually having him actually physically abuse Sharon.

Pegasus

I would just like to take this moment to go back a few episodes to "Pegasus".
I just thought it was one of the episodes of Battlestar Galactica worth mentioning, as it is one of the only ones that make you sympathetic to the Cylons.
In this episode, we see a different side of Cylons. Or should I say the way humans treat them. We find Number Six locked up in a room in the Pegasus, beaten up almost to death and abused. Gaius' expression is very touching. It is one of the first time that we see a sympathetic reaction from him for someone other than himself. It shows how horrible the actions of the crew were on Number Six.
In addition, they almost get to Sharon. Major Thorne tries to rape her before being stopped by Helo and the Chief. I found myself rooting for the Cylons and suddenly realized why they would want to eliminate humans.
It seems that nothing is always black or white. Sometimes things are grey.

Scar - Season two

This episode is one of the great ones. Not only because it is very well acted but the storyline is great. They identify this Cylons Raider as different from the others (although they all look the same) because he sneaks up on people to kill them and then jumps away. It feels like it has a soul. Sharon even tells Starbuck, that Scar (as they named him) is probably very angry after being killed a few times (and been reborn of course).
In addition, Apollo and Starbuck finally kiss! But it's not the kiss we were execting. Still it's better than nothing, it will keep us waiting for another one to come.
Too bad Starbuck is still hung up on her love back in Caprica.
But all this does is only give us something to wait for, and as a result will keep us watching.
Will Starbuck and Apollo finally get together?

The episode ends on a sad note, as Starbuck drinnks to all the fighters who died.

So say we all...

Should Humans show more respect to the Cylons?

Here is one question that I have been asking myself: Should Humans be more humble and show respect to the Cylons?
They keep calling the Cylons "Toasters", but should they show more respect given the fact that the Cylons wiped them out of Caprica? They talk about them as if they were nothing and the humans were more powerful, but the truth is, the Cylons killed almost every human being. They won the war! But still, the humans don't respect them and call them names.
If I was one of them, I would be very careful what I say about them, because one day it could come back and bite you in the a**.

The Resistance - Webisode 2

And since we're on a roll. Here is the second episode of The Resistance from Battlestar Galactica found on youtube.com.

Hope you enjoy that one too!

The Resistance - Webisode 1

For those of you who are up to date and want to watch the Battlestar Galactica Webisodes but cannot get them through www.scifi.com/battlestar. Here is the video from Youtube.com of the first webisode! Enjoy!

New Webisode TONIGHT

Ok so the new webisode will be online tonight at Midnight. I am sure there will be tons of people staying up waiting to see another chapter of Battlestar Galactica, but unfortunately I will not be one of them. Not only do I have to wake up early the next day, but I am still not up to date (for those who follow), still finishing Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica. Or should I say beginning, because really I only saw episode one of Season 2. So I will probably spend most of the evening watching a few more episodes, and dream of watching the webisodes... hahaha

Anway, enjoy it for those of you who can!

Webisodes on Sci-fi

So there is this new thing on www.scifi.com/battlestar/ for Battlestar Galactica, which they call Webisodes. It seems like they created little episodes of Battlestar Galactica to make us wait until the new season starts in October. The Webisodes will be posted every Tuesday and Thursday at Midnight until October 6th, which marks the beginning of Season 3. Now that is a very inventive way to please the fans. Can't wait to watch all the websiodes.
Now I really have to finish Season 2 in order to start watching the webisodes on Sci-fi.

This week-end will be intensive watching of season two then. Can't wait 'till I am up to date. This has dragged on way too long. ;-)

Starbuck and Apollo: Will they ever kiss?

I think one of the most frustrating things with watching "Battlestar Galactica" was the ambiguous relationship between Starbuck and Apollo. I think it's one of the love interest that the writers are playing with to keep audiences wanting for more.
I mean come on kiss already! But at the same time don't you enjoy their struggle to tell each other how they feel.
Anyway, this will be interesting to see how it turns out in Season Two, especially now that Starbuck cried Lee's name as she was having sex with Gaius (Awkward!).

I guess I'll find out soon enough as I am preparing myself to watch Season 2.

Kobol's Last Gleaming

So I finally watched the last episode (season finale) of Season One of Battlestar Galactica, and all I have to say is OMG!!!
I did not see Adama getting shot coming. It was very well put together. I mean I really thought Boomer was just going to shake his hand and that maybe after something was going to happen with her, but what a surprise!
Greatest Season Finale, thank god I do not have to wait too long to see the rest. I cannot wait to see Season two. And Season three will be on SOON, October 6th!!! Everybody needs to write this down!
I am so speechless by the events of the last episode that I wasn't even able to come up with a theory...
Oh well, the fight between Starbuck and Number Six was awesome though.

Wait, I do have something to say about the episode: Isn't it funny how she risks her life to go get the arrow of "Apollo" and that her deepest desire is indeed Lee "Apollo"...

I will just leave you with this thought.

Colonial Day - Battlestar Galactica

OMG - Gaius Baltar, Vice President?!!!!!

OK this is GREAT! Who would have thought. I keep saying it and will say it again, this is getting better and better.

And the ending with Helo finally finding out Sharon is a Cylon (it took some time didn't it for him to catch up).

The Hand of God - Battlestar Galactica

I just finished watching "The Hand of God" in the first season of Battlestar Galactica and I just had to write about one thing:
The ending of the epsiode just makes it all worth it as Gaius starts to believe he is none other than: "The Hand of God"...
This is getting better and better. Can anyone believe this?

Gaius really is the best character of Battlestar Galactica!

Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down - Battlestar Galactica

And we're back!

Pretty cool episode. Col. Tigh has a very interesting wife. And we still don't know if she is a Cylon. My good friend Gaius Baltar wouldn't tell! In this episode of Battlestar Galactica, we saw a different side of Col. Tigh; we saw his weakness: his wife Ellen. Now she is a character. I have to say she puts women to shame. Do women like her really exist?

As far as Laura's suspicions about Adama being a Cylons, this episode of Battlestar Galactica uses it very well. They show how easily people can turn on each other and how manipulating the Cylons are. They are indeed very smart.

This episode is also pretty funny as they play on miscommunication on the Battlestar Galactica ship. Everybody is doing their things behind everybody elses back. That is what leads to very comedic situations. For example, when Ellen's results are not ready yet because they have been submitted by Adama and stopped by Laura and back on and off again.

Very enjoyable episode. And of course we see more of Gaius and his funny ways, so I would definitly recommend watching that one!

Cylons: Smarter than humans?

Are Cylons smarter than us? This is the question we have to aks ourselves when watching Battlestar Galactica. So far I would have to say yes. They use everything they know and have against us.
They can play with our minds. They have the greatest advantage over us: they look like us!
They are the only ones who know who is a cylon and who is not. That is why they can make you believe than anyone is a Cylon.
Like making the President believe Adama is a Cylon. Now that could lead to chaos among humans, and that is when humans are the weakest.

Thank god for Gaius' machine!

Finally will be able to resume my watching of Battlestar Galactica

OK, so I finally received the last 2 DVDs of Season 1 of Battlestar Galactica. And I am not ready to start watching all of it. I will soon be a new person. I will have finished the first season and be almost as knowledgeable as most of the other fans of Battlestar Galactica.

Anyway, can't wait to start and see what waits around the corner for the crew of Battlestar Galactica.

Will be back soon! ;-)
