Yes, but then he couldn't be one of the twelve. 708232@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 22:02:01 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/07/153836.php#comment-708229 Well, as Tory said "Maybe something's changed." I wonder if the four were triggered too soon? Also, regarding Tigh being a Cylon, couldn't he have been replaced during the occupation on New Caprica when he was having his eye removed? I don't know, just a thought. 708229@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 21:57:19 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/07/153836.php#comment-708228 Agreed about the DVDs, we mowed through the 20 episodes over the two weeks and then watched Razor on Friday before the show, which we tivo'd to lose the commercials. Did you notice that in the opening credits, they no longer state that the Cylons have a plan. Sounds more like the writers and between the start of production on the third and the fourth they changed what they were doing from the start. 708228@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 21:47:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/07/153836.php#comment-708225 Thanks, El B. I agree that the long relationship between Tigh and Adama is problematic, unless it turns out that the Cylons have existed longer than everyone thinks they have. As it happens, this is the first season of BSG we're watching on television. We got hooked on the series via DVD and watched all three seasons that way (the last one in a marathon effort to be done by Friday's premiere -- they sure held those back till the last minute). 708225@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 21:37:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/07/153836.php#comment-708221 Good write up. I didn't watch BSG until last January when I reviewed the HD set. Then slowly watched the DVDs with the Mrs. One a week for the next nine episodes is tough. I have been spoiled. The writers certainly have a lot of explaining to do. I buy Tory, Anders, and Chief as Cyclons, but not so much with Tigh. Sure it would help explaining his hatred for Cylons and his alcoholism, but considering how long he has known Bill Adama, that one is going to be tough to sell. They would had to have had skin jobs back during the first war. I hope we don't get too many single story episodes that run outside the grand scheme. That one with Helo and the bad doctor was terrible and appears to be forgotten. 708221@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 21:26:22 EDT
