Opinion: The Cylons did not have "The Plan"

01 Nov 2009 11:16:51 PST

Written by brad
Last week saw the DVD release of what may be the final Battlestar Galactica movie/episode, a flashback movie called “The Plan.” It was written by Jane Espenson and is the story of the attack and early chase from the point of view of the Cylons, most particularly Number One (Cavil.) (Review fi...

Review: Cylons Rule in Recycled Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

27 Oct 2009 11:49:30 PDT

Written by Lewis Wallace
The recycling continues in Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. Released Tuesday, the straight-to-DVD movie shows events from the perspective of the humanity-hating Cylons by welding footage from the dearly departed sci-fi series with new scenes shot by director Edward James Olmos.

Review: Battlestar Galactica - "The Plan"

26 Oct 2009 19:17:09 PDT

Written by Myles
In individual moments, this feels like Battlestar Galactica – as a whole, it feels like a DVD extra where you can click a button and see what the Cylons are busy plotting at that particular time, something which would be more interesting if they hadn’t tried to turn it into a motion picture e...

Galactica 1980 #2 – Review

18 Oct 2009 18:30:32 PDT

Written by DS Arsenault
Conclusion: The original Battlestar Galactica and Galactica 1980 had some really great core ideas. Battlestar Galactica chucked everything and got a reboot on TV. Galactica 1980 is keeping its history and rebooting at the point of first contact. So far it’s a great ride.

Recap Review: BSG's Sharons

Boomer’s ongoing struggle, I think, is to like herself. She spends months on Galactica trying to convince herself that she isn’t a Cylon when deep down, followed by months back on Caprica trying to hang on to the human identity she was used to. The resolution she makes with Caprica Six to ma...

Opinion: Could Lost's Final Season Pull A Battlestar Galactica?

17 Jul 2009 15:00:00 PDT

Written by Stephen Goldmeier
To me, this is where Lost most clearly distinguishes itself from BSG. In his essay, Templeton says that BSG lost sight of its true goal of character development in its final episodes. Lost seems to be not only sticking to these character roots, but moving even further towards them in its fina...

Written by Charlie Jane Anders
Here's what I always come back to when I think about the BSG finale, though — I feel as though Moore put us on notice with the final episode of season three. When we first encounter the mysterious Bob Dylan Cylon signal, and four totally random characters turn out to be Cylons, and Starbuck com...

Review: Caprica Spins Religion, Race Into Worthy Galactica Prequel

20 Apr 2009 13:56:00 PDT

Written by Lewis Wallace
None of this is new, especially to fans of the recently wrapped Galactica, but luckily producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick have imported to Caprica other hallmarks of their award-winning Sci Fi Channel series as well: the lean writing, the strong acting, the exceptional soundtrack...

Opinion: Season Premiere: Battlestar Galactica - "Sometimes a Great Notion"

19 Jan 2009 12:00:19 PST

Written by Myles
It also, I think, gives Starbuck a more clear trajectory moving into the second half of the season; she slowed down the first half in a large number of places, and it seemed as if she was more angry and annoyed than she was really searching for meaning. Here, with a more volatile secret at stake...

This piece was inspired by a review done by a television critic who had recently discovered the series Battlestar Galactica. He'd never seen the show as he didn't normally watch “Sci-Fi”, but as the show is now coming to an end he was convinced to watch it by fellow staff members. That's when h...

Written by Alan Sepinwall
And because the cast continues to knock it out of the park every week playing these wonderfully-etched characters, I can't look on these episodes as filler. "Galactica" is a show that asks lots of fundamental questions about society and even the nature of existence, but it asks them throu...

TV Review: Battlestar Galactica - Season 3 Finale

I can accept the poor-writing and ill-conceived plotlines we dealt with this season in Battlestar Galactica, but what could turn me off the show next season is 22 episodes of Starbuck playing the poor little mistreated viper jock.
