[quote=”YOWAYYO”]Does anyone else think he would make a good alter-ego to Dr. Julian Bashir of DS9? [/quote]
You’re not the first person to bring that up. A lot of people think they are the same actor. Personally I’d take James Callis anyday.
[quote=”Renee.S”]How would Helo even know which direction to go to look for them (unless Boomer is connected to her other self)? Maybe it could become a different storyline with the survivors left on the planet. [/quote]
It will be very difficult to bring Helo back to the Galactica without some major flubbing of the story. I personally don’t think the biocylons are networked that far out in space, but some people will disagree with me.
[quote]I totally agree with Headgehog’s episode review saying…”a lot of action happening in the background, and a lot of politics amongst the principle players in the foreground”. [/quote]
Hehe, that’s my polite way of saying “Too many talking heads, not enough action.
[quote]I think that is what is really keeping my attention in BSG…the different levels of the story. [/quote]
I like that sort of story a lot. The Dune Chronicles are built upon a layered story that requires a lot of afterthought about the background events. It works great for novels, but not so well TV/Movies. Water did an okay job of this. Colonial Day (ep 11) is another political talk-fest episode, but it flowed so much better and really kept my attention and made me want to watch it over again to learn more.
[quote]After your statement about Boomer having a cold, calculating and efficient step when she walks away from the Chief after their discussion on what happened with the last bomb, do you think that Boomer knows what she is doing all of the time or do you think that she was genuinely upset about possibly being a suspect and is having real memory lapses?[/quote]
Firstly, I think the robot walk at the end has no solid basis in the story. I think it was done for drama, much like #6’s red-glowing spine. I believe that Boomer does not consciously know that she is a cylon (as of Water). Furthermore I don’t think she remembers doing any sort of sabotage against the fleet. Her subconscious (cylon programming) took over and didn’t record the events for her conscious self, so that she could better live the lie. This follows that her dismay to Tyrol and the audience was legit throughout the episode.
[quote] The other Cylon left on Ragnar was screaming at the top of his lungs that they couldn’t just leave him out there and that he wasn’t a Cylon. And yet Boomer replaced the last detonator that was in her bag and was freaking out when no one else was around in the armory…hmmm. [/quote]
Doral might not have been consciously aware that he was a cylon when he was abandoned at Ragnar. After he stewed in the radiation for a while, his survival instinct (cylon programming) took over.
