Blog 62

After watching the rest of Battlestar Galactica today, I suppose I don’t mind it as much as I thought I did. I think part of the reason I felt more interested in it this time was because I could see and hear it extremely well in the classroom that we were in. So I think it's safe to say that I had a better time watching BSG today than last Thursday. Anyways, did anyone catch the ending? I didn’t because I got distracted looking at the packet of papers our teacher gave us. I read online that they find out that that Sharon “Boomer” girl—the one that was shown to have a secret relationship with a chief dude—is a Cyclon. At first, I thought the scientist guy was blaming that one guy of being a cyclon for no reason. I didn’t really think that Number 6 was actually helping him. I read online that he really was a Cyclon. Apparently you can program Cyclons to think that they’re actually humans. And you can set a timer on them for when you want them to turn on people and realize that they aren't humans...I think. So I have a question: Did the scientist guy invent Cyclons? If so, how were they able to make “human Cyclons?” I’m still a little unclear about that. Is it like the robots turned against the humans and are trying to take over? That would be extremely terrifying if the same situation happened in reality. Oh and I can totally see how that paper we had to critique about BSG related the show to reality. I guess I would be able to lean of the “revise and resubmit” side now. :P Okay, nap time!!!

  1. That's a good question...I don't even really know why the scientist guy is on the run. When they were playing the scene where he realized that he could be arrested for whatever illegal activity he did, I didn't quite catch what the reason was. I guess it's possible that he made technology that the ceylons are using and THAT is what makes it kind of illegal? Idk..

  2. My views on the BSG commonplace paper changed after watching the show as well. I felt like the paper became much more appealing after I saw what they were talking about.

  3. The human like cylons were pretty cool. It was weird when the girls back lit up when he and the one guy were getting busy.

  4. The battle scene was really interesting. However, I was confusing about the whold story.
