I just read that the BSG movie "The Plan", which is said to be airing around November, will answer a question about the series that I've long wondered about. What happened to (the presumed Cylon character) Shelly Godfrey? For people who have not seen the series and are wondering why I didn't put spoilers up for that question, it's because there's no spoiler there. You know she's a Cylon the minute she's introduced...she's a copy of the first human type Cylon we ever see in the mini-series. Or perhaps she's not a Cylon at all, but an Angel of somekind? It's hard to say. Hmmmm. Looking forward to this. I've also read that a bit of the movie will take place before the mini-series. Interesting. That story that will shed new light on the early seasons of the series (in a film meant to be viewed after the entire series) mixed with all the amazing flashbacks in the finale seems like a really great way to end the series - and a nice one two punch to make fans want to rewatch the series with all the new knowledge (not to mention all the info that's just picked up throughout the series run). Really, really want to see this! It's also a nice parallel to "Downloaded" / "Razor" in which we also have an episode packed with important new flashbacks and then a BSG movie that sheds new light on old events; I like that.

I didn't watch Caprica last night. I'm trying to wait to watch it with Michael on Friday. I hope I enjoy it. It will be interesting to see Michael's reaction to it as he won't be tainted by any BSG Fan perspective as he's never seen BSG; he'll be coming to the universe with a fresh perspective. Then for him to see the mini-sodes that take place between Caprica and the mini-series (the 2.5 minisodes not placed in the extended cut of Razor) - and then start the series proper - well, I'm a little jealous. All the extended cuts will be available for him, assuming he even likes the series when he starts watching - perhaps it won't be to his liking. It is a very dark series.
