More Cylon Tyranny

Rate: 3 Flag

Woefully behind the times, I just watched the SyFy premiere of Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. I loved it, even though the objective viewer in me had to admit the movie was little more than a hand-stitched quilt of memories created to keep fans invested in the BSG franchise. I still mourn the death of the show. And I marvel at how other shows, (Scrubs for instance) can be born, syndicated, killed, resurrected, killed again, and then reborn on a different network. What a perfect example of Cylon regeneration!

If you're as slow as I am and haven't seen The Plan yet, I won't spoil it for you. But I will leave you with a beautiful quote from the movie as emoted by #1 (Dean Stockwell):

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays. I want to hear X-rays and I... I wanna... I wanna smell dark matter. I wanna reach out with something other than these prehensile paws... and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I'm a machine. And I could know much more.

Eric, I really need to get up to speed on the latest series and movies for Battlestar Gallactica. I did see all of the original version on TV some 30 years ago but not many of the new series.
(I meant to say Galactica.)
The new series just totally blew me away! Rated...
Designanator, I'd go for the box set at Amazon if you can. I think you'll find the new BSG a real gem if you're a fan of dark drama. The underlying theme of competing religions mirrors some of the conversations that play out on OS.

Cymraeg, agreed. I'd trade a few of ER' s lost years for another 3 or 4 of BSG.
