What do you guys think of the way they split up season 2 in 2 different DVD sets ? (Season 2.0, and 2.5)
I think it is pretty dumb. I have season 1 but refuse to buy season 2 because they split it up. I think they did this because during season 2 they took a 10 week hiatus (was it 10 weeks? I think so), therefore justifying (to their marketing dept.) releasing the season as two sets. I think its b.s. and they just want more money.
I think what they did with the show is great, though. The whole "oh shits, Cylons! Jump!!! - repeat" thing was starting to get a little old. Though I was enjoying the politics that they were starting to get into, and the whole philosophical bit.
I'd say that by far this is definitely one of the best sci-fi shows, ever.
I have always somewhat suspected Gaius of being a Cylon, but is he really? (dun dun dunnnn). Their whole situation now really is all of Gaius' fault if you think about it. And for several reasons. (WARNING: Possible spoilers).
- 1 - He inadvertently gave 6 the access to the colonies' defence grid
- 2 - He is easily manipulated by 6 (when she is influencing him in his mind), for her own ends
- 3 - He naively delivered the nuclear warhead to the Pegasus' 6 as a "sign of good faith" (ie: he was getting lonely and wanted a little somethin somethin), which she later used to destroy herself, and as a result, the Cylons used the nuclear fallout to detect the humans, which puts them in the situation they are currently in.
I am sure there are other things I have missed, but these are the key things that stand out about this guy. The whole thing is balanced on Balthar's bad decisions.
Its nice to have this show back. Also LOST (but that discussion is for a different thread
). 24 should be making its way back soon, too.
