Espenson To Pen Cylon-Centric GALACTICA DVD/TV-Movie??

First Again!! by kevinwillis.net	Jul 3rd, 2008 03:49:32 PM
I wish I watched more Battlestar Galactica. But this sounds cool. Cylon centric? Now, that's re-invention.
more action by Mr_X	Jul 3rd, 2008 03:52:19 PM
less jibber jabber
Second by SoupDragon	Jul 3rd, 2008 03:53:57 PM
That's good. It must be the story of how the Final Five infiltrated the colonies.
I hate pig fuckers! by ShogunMaster	Jul 3rd, 2008 03:55:16 PM
That guy needs to be booted. So are we to make the extrapolation that Starbuck is the final Cylon from this?
Movie will focus on Starbucks missing time... by Heckles	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:06:56 PM
...and will pose more questions to be answered long after our curiosity is peaked.
Let me guess... by Mostholy	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:07:46 PM
They'll hit the reset button?
Glad they are trying to get Hogan. by mrfan	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:18:35 PM
Michael Hogan is one of the best actors on BSG.
so this BSG will be a comedy? by Boomers_Lips	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:23:47 PM
since all Jane seems to do is comedy episodes of BSG.
So Starbuck is the final cylon by AxeBox	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:24:14 PM
If this is cylon centric story, and Starbuck is in it as the only human, perhaps she is the final cylon...
EJO is directing this?...oh good lord. by Boomers_Lips	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:24:52 PM
he has directed some of the most awful episodes of BSG. and they let him direct this tv-movie?
no Tory Foster in this movie? by Boomers_Lips	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:30:16 PM
y?
Eddie Olmos's last directed episode was GREAT by performingmonkey	Jul 3rd, 2008 04:44:50 PM
One of my favourites of season 4. Really excellent character episode.
I have faith by spud mcspud	Jul 3rd, 2008 05:15:27 PM
Espenson is a damn good writer, and hey - it can't be as bad as that godsawful concept that is fucking CAPRICA? Can it? Lunch: chicken curry.
Espenson?!! by dvdhound79	Jul 3rd, 2008 06:05:26 PM
Love her Buffy stuff. Earsot, Superstar, A New Man, Band Candy. She's one of TV's most brilliant writers.
the farting pig just learned how to cut and paste by chromedome	Jul 3rd, 2008 07:03:00 PM
and he is so proud of himself
FUCK MICHAEL BAY!!! by Han Cholo	Jul 3rd, 2008 07:46:05 PM
FUCK EM!!!!

Can't stress that enough....
Captbolder: Raper Spike wasn't Espenson's doing... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Jul 3rd, 2008 08:23:10 PM
That was Marti Noxon's genius at work. Apparently, it doesn't look like she's been working much in the business since her failed FOX series.
Yes! by GregoryHarbin	Jul 3rd, 2008 08:52:46 PM
She's a fantastic, fantastic writer. Her episodes have been some of the best of the show, and you can really feel her producer presence this season. Here's hoping she gets picked up by Whedon for Dollhouse, instead of sticking with the (I'm assuming) mediocre 'Warehouse 13.' Or maybe that will be genius. Either way, I can't wait to see where she goes from here.
Chromedome! by NoHubris	Jul 3rd, 2008 08:54:33 PM
It certainly looks likes TPTB heard your request for a Cylon centered movie. It would be really great if they go all the way with your idea and show us the Cylon homeworld!
Huberto! by chromedome	Jul 3rd, 2008 09:03:42 PM
YEA! History/Origin of Skinjobs--with 8's running all over the damn place! Or something like that, anyway. (I bet the Hybrid makes an appearance, too........) happy 4th to you, sir!
no rip thread for bozo??? by bacci40	Jul 3rd, 2008 10:25:49 PM
larry harmon is gonna come back and haunt you all
pigsphart 5000 licks shit encrusted assholes! by rben	Jul 3rd, 2008 10:26:33 PM
Now that's cool news!
Starbuck by secretcylon	Jul 4th, 2008 12:25:53 AM
is not the final cylon.
as long as hogan is in it by RaveX	Jul 4th, 2008 12:51:33 AM
tis all good...
starbuck redux by Don Lockwood	Jul 4th, 2008 12:55:43 AM
they sure want you to think she's the final cylon, but the red herrings are getting a bit too pickled lately.
Give Rick Worthy some screen time. by Shan	Jul 4th, 2008 01:12:02 AM
You know him as number 4 - Simon. The tall black Cylon. Who doesn't get to say anything anymore. Who also is the only Cylon with no back story whatsoever.
If Starbuck is the fianl Cylon... by DC Films	Jul 4th, 2008 03:39:49 AM
then they've managed to spoil and fuck up the best series ever!!!
Yawn... Another BSG snooze fest. by V'Shael	Jul 4th, 2008 03:43:53 AM
That show has so jumped its frakin shark.
I very much doubt its Starbuck by Conans Sword	Jul 4th, 2008 03:56:36 AM
anyway more BSG is always welcome. not sure what to think of caprica but i cant get enough of the core series.best sci fi show since Babylon5
Starbuack as last Cylon...NO! by spooky2k	Jul 4th, 2008 04:02:20 AM
You guys call yourselves fans, did you not hear Diana when she said 4 of the final 5 were in the fleet? At that time, Starbuck was in the fleet. So unless she was just lying, it is not possible for Starbuck to be final cylon. My guess is that the last cylon is in the same place the earthlings ran to!
George Bush was the final cylon. by V'Shael	Jul 4th, 2008 04:11:44 AM
That's why he's trying to destroy us all.
Cain is the final cylon by nobletoast13	Jul 4th, 2008 06:15:40 AM
here's to hoping.
Bob Dylan is the final cylon. by Isopor	Jul 4th, 2008 08:12:27 AM
It's obvious, really.
Your Mom is the final cylon by newc0253	Jul 4th, 2008 08:15:37 AM
it's true, she's such a toaster, she, uh, something stupid! also, she so poor, i saw her kicking a can down the street, and i asks her what she's doin and she says 'movin'.
your mom is so fat, she can block an additional creature by RaveX	Jul 4th, 2008 08:34:34 AM
damn... sry, wrong board.
Your mom is so ugly... by spud mcspud	Jul 4th, 2008 08:44:15 AM
When she came out the womb, the doctor slapped HER MOTHER! I'll be here all week, yo.
There's this guy at my work named Don... by Azlam Orlandu	Jul 4th, 2008 08:48:44 AM
...I'm pretty sure he's the final Cylon.
Harrison Ford is the final Cyon by pokadoo	Jul 4th, 2008 10:23:15 AM
this will all tie in to Blade Runner somehow!
Backatcha, Chromedome by NoHubris	Jul 4th, 2008 10:39:57 AM
Happy July 4th to you too! Regarding the next BSG movie, I am looking forward to getting a deeper understanding of the Final Five, the Cylon "plan" and so forth. Hopefully, we'll get to see this in the fall after the manner of RAZOR.
Shan by NoHubris	Jul 4th, 2008 10:51:12 AM
Since Simon is the medical/bio-medical Cylon, one role he could play is to offer revelations concerning the (1) births of the next generation of Cylons as well as (2) the the physical nature of the Final Five. BTW it would be interesting if a Simon, with vital info, had a change of heart and joined the opposition in the Cylon Civil war.
BSG Book Club by chrth	Jul 4th, 2008 11:10:11 AM
Ok gang, I found a good book for us to read: Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson. You'll find some real similarities to the show. Oh, and robot lesbians (It is a Jeanette Winterson novel), so there's really something for everyone.
Can someone help me out? by Bricktops hammer	Jul 4th, 2008 12:02:06 PM
I saw all the episodes, including the Planet of the Apes ending....but missed Razor. Was it good? Is it coming back on? What was it about?
Opinion on Razor is divided. by V'Shael	Jul 4th, 2008 05:37:35 PM
I said it was shite. Everyone else seems to think it was the Dogs Bollox. It will be repeated at some point over the next year, but you can rent it, netflix it, download it or even buy it. (It's surely in a bargain basement bin somewhere by now.) As for what it was about... it was about some character we'd never seen before, doing stuff we'd never seen before, in events (some of which) we had seen before.
thanx v'shael by Bricktops hammer	Jul 4th, 2008 06:33:25 PM
I'll check it out, mainly b'cause I have little to no life right now. Unemployment rocks!!!
gotta love those comedy BSG episodes by oisin5199	Jul 5th, 2008 10:38:19 AM
all the uproaring hilarity and slapstick, double entendres, and mistaken identities. Remember that one when....wait, what the fuck are you talking about Boomers'Lips?
Holy Frack.. by Banditmania	Jul 5th, 2008 07:24:47 PM
that's all.
Friends... in space by MisterE	Jul 6th, 2008 01:15:09 PM
If they should flash back to when the Cylons are infiltrating the colonies, maybe the Cylons should share an apartment and they can film on the old "Friends" set. It could be comedy gold!
