Battlestar Galactica Webisodes

Only at Sci-Fi.

The 3rd season starts first week of October, I believe.

Old interview with Ron Moore. His blog over at Sci-Fi.

Official site

Reflections plus info about season 2, so I am making the text invisible. Highlight to read.
*Having the cylons capture most of the humans is certainly one way to create drama. Still, some humans mounting a resistance campaign against the cylons? It is understandable why the cylons would not engage in reprisals against the civilian population--not the women at least. Do they have a resurrection ship with them, in orbit around New Caprica?

Will the engineer get a chance to create a superfighter with micromissiles? Too bad they haven't found Earth yet, or they could recruit some Earthlings to pilot some superfighters. "Death Blossom."

What is going on with the apparent psychic link between Baltar and Six?

Will Baltar be imprisoned and put on trial for collaborating with the cylons? Or for his supposed crimes on Caprica? Will he escape and lead his own cylon fleet after the humans? If Laura Roslin becomes president again and Baltar is put in jail, who will become the vice president? Where is Tom Zarek?

Will the religious theme return and be addressed more clearly this season? Will we see the appearance of the divine beings? Or will the creator/producer continue to take an agnostic point of view and direction?

As the cylons struggle to discover their purpose in the universe (or have they found it already), what will emotion and "love" do to their culture? I must admit that the reason/emotion dichotomy, with love being on the side of emotion and not reason, though a staple of science fiction, annoys me greatly.

Will Lee keep the Pegasus this season? Will it end up being destroyed by the end of the season?

Of course, there are plenty of unresolved subplots involving the main characters, but I'm not really interested in those... BSG is interesting enough that I will probably continue to watch the third season, but I still think the series has its weaknesses. Let's see if JMS can get some new Babylon 5 movies done.

No anime/manga version of BSG please...
