<\/a> Last week I was bored. I had run out of downloaded shows to watch and was wondering what I should download next. <\/p>\n

I’d heard so many people talking about the show Battlestar Galactica but have never watched it myself.   All I really knew about it was that it’s a newer version of a show that used to be on years ago and my sister refuses to watch it because they made Starbuck a girl.<\/p>\n

I was desperate for something to watch while I was quilting and figured I’d give it a try.  So far I’ve only watched the mini-series and most of the first season but… <\/p>\n

Might I just take a moment to say…<\/p>\n

HOLY SHIT THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!<\/p>\n

Awesome… and confusing.  Yes, I know being a BSG fan makes me even more of a geek than I was a week ago but like degrees matter.  Once you are, you are.. and you may as well be the best one you can be!<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s what I get about the show so far:<\/p>\n

Humans made Cylons.  The cylons got pissed off and got tired of being slaves and decided to fight back.  After buttloads of fighting they decided to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n

Now in the new show the Cylons are back and have wiped out most of humanity, except about 50,000 people who are all together in one giant fleet running and hiding from them.<\/p>\n

The Cylons can now look like humans and it’s hard to tell who is a machine and who is actually human.<\/p>\n

Now here’s what I don’t get:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know this blond chick is one of the models of the human-like Cylons.  That she was pretending to be human before the attacks and was living as the lover of Gaius.<\/p>\n

… but what’s the story with her on Galactica? <\/p>\n

Is he insane and is just imagining her?  Is she a cylon that somehow just exists in his head or can communicate with him through his thoughts? <\/p>\n

Is she just using him as a pawn to get him to do what the cylons want him to do, or is he doing these things of his own accord and he just imagines<\/em> it’s her telling him to? <\/p>\n

Also, what about Sharon (Boomer)… There’s versions of her all over the place.  Does the one on Galactica know she’s a cylon or is she just ‘dormant’ and waiting to be triggered?  Sometimes it seems like she knows, but she threw me for a loop when she asked Gaius to give her the cylon detection test first.<\/p>\n

I’m so confused!  Am I missing something?  Please don’t tell me anything that will spoil anything, as I said I’m only on season 1 at the moment.<\/p>\n

Frack!  This show has me gagging for the future seasons so some of these things are made more clear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
