The Mad American Wrote:I had always been of the opinion that Col. Tighe was going to be a cylon when it all played out. He was just too good of a plant not to be. I also have thought there is a high probability that the President is a cylon but am not as sold on that idea as I was on the Tighe one(think about it, why would the baby Heras blood cure her cancer? Maybe because it was the cylon part of Hera correcting whatever had gone wrong with that model...I don't know...lol).
The Starbuck storyline could play out to be very interesting because of all the seeds they laid with her being a seer or something as far as finding Earth. Her being some sort of cylon rogue or something I could see.
If you think about it, out of the 4 cylons they supposedly revealed only two are really major players, Chief and Tighe and if Chief is indeed a cylon then that means there are two half cylon/half human babies around. So with 2 of the 4 it would be easy to write them into the cylon side of things but with Tighe and Chief its going to be interesting.
And am I the only one who was in disbeleif that we have to wair until 2008 for any new episodes? Holy shyte thats a long break for a show.
Keith the Elder Wrote:Starbuck has no redeeming qualities be be a member of either race. She is probably ver. 1.0 and therefore could not adequately deal with human sensations and emotional feelings and so became the self-absorbed `person she was. She probably received some upgrades with her download.In Battlestar Galactica, the only character I like at all is Starbuck. Sure, the writers have messed with her pretty bad this year and it has been disappointing, but I kept giving them another chance to fix it, and probably even another chance.

People read novels or watch television and movies for lots of reasons. For example, I don't read Repairman Jack novels because I read horror novels, I read them because I like Repairman Jack as a character. Starbuck is the same, only she goes out and shoots things out of space with flamboyance, flair and a certain amount of unbridled enthusiasm.

I still can't spell Cincinnati right. I have to look it up all the time.
Keith the Elder Wrote:No!!!
I was referring to the real Pete Rose, Junior.
As Trebek might say," Nooo, the son the son!!"

Keith the Elder Wrote:No!!!I knew what you meant, goofball. Pete Rose, Jr. may be a fine baseball player, but not at the major league level. Pete Rose is the real deal. I spent my entire young life rooting for this team and especially Pete Rose, so I'm not going to miss a point as unsubtle as that. I still won't root for any national league teams JUST because they aren't Cincinnati.

I could probably STILL do the entire lineup for most years. Sometimes I get a little confused about third base, depending on the year.
Johnny Bench
Tony Perez
Joe Morgan
Davey Concepcion
Dan Driessen
Pete Rose
Cesar Geronimo
Ken Griffey
Then you have the others, depending on the year. George Foster, Lee May, Bobby Tolan, Woody Woodward (a personal favorite), Dennis Menke, Ray Knight, and various pitchers like Clay Carrol, Don Gullet, Gary Nolan, Jack Billingham, Rawly Eastwick, Pedro Borbon, etc. The announcers were Joe Nuxhall and Marty Brenneman (who replaced Al Michaels).
They were fun days to be a Reds fan.
1972 was the year that REALLY made the Reds because they made a HUGE trade with the Astros. That's when we got Morgan, Menke, Geronimo, and I think two others. They were FAST players, for artificial turf and they unloaded some of the older slower players. Although we DID lose to the A's in the World Series that year. I blame it all on Joe Rudi, not because of his hitting, but because he made an amazing catch of a Dennis Menke line drive in the late innings of game two and that added a game to their win column.
Thank god the Angels finally occasionally do well (sometimes). The reason the Angels now wear RED is because the general manager grew up in Cincinnati and thought the Reds always looked cool.
