Just finished watching Revelations, the final episode of the first half of the final season. I'll have more comments soon, but I have to say that the ending was just like I thought it would be. Pretty bleak.

So who do you think the final Cylon is? Comment below!

Apparently the Bob Dylan song that the four Cylons hear is "All Along the Watchtower" - you can read the lyrics here.

This begs the question - is the fifth and final Cylon alluded to in the lyrics?

Ronald D. Moore has said that the final Cylon is someone we know, but not one of the major characters. So that leaves out people like Starbuck and Lee and Baltar.

Yet I keep thinking that the song does refer to Baltar.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Wouldn't that be Baltar's 'harem?' And Baltar as a Prince? It doesn't really apply to Gaeta or Dualla. For a while I thought the Fifth would be that Oracle from New Caprica. Or how about Boxey? (On second thought, no.)

I guess perhaps guessing is futile.

It seems that production may get underway on a Battlestar Galactica prequel called Caprica. It will be set 50 years before the events in Galactica and be more of a traditional drama instead of a science fiction series. (source)

I honestly never liked this idea for a series. I like the Galactica universe, but the universe where all hell broke loose and humanity is on the run. And setting this series 50 years in the past just seems stale.

I'd much prefer a tv show based on Kobol, the home planet of mankind that the 13 colonies fled 3000 years ago. Why did they leave? What went wrong? What were they like? Now that's interesting to me.

Battlestar Galactica Season Three will be available March 25, 2008.

I don't think I've ever seen an episode of the original The Bionic Woman. I know that the heroin, Jaime Sommers, ran in slo-mo, and that she was part cyborg. I don't think she was that popular of a character back then, and that made me wonder why they'd bother to bring her back.

So when I heard about the Bionic Woman remake, I had to ask myself why? Then I heard that David Eick, an executive producer of the new Battlestar Galactica, was helming this series, and I had a bit more confidence in the project.

Just a reminder that the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica will air in early 2007 (april 4) (source)

I've mentioned Battlestar Galactica a number of times in this series and I thought I should explain why.

When you think of Battlestar Galactica the first things that may come to mind are space ships and killer robots. And I won't argue that. The series takes place on space ships, and there are killer robots. (Albeit gorgeous human-looking robots.) But the show is so much more.

Here's the product description from Amazon.com:

I don't know what's more surprising in the Outstanding Drama Series category, the shows that are on it, or the shows that were left out. Only one of the shows listed deserves to win (House), and another is in strong contention to win (Heroes). But the others? Come on. They might as well have had 24 nominated, too. Many of the HBO/Showtime shows deserve to be listed here, as well as Battlestar Galactica and Friday Night Lights.

So let's see who the nominees are...
