Mr March

No offense, but where is all this stuff your guys are discussing located?

Yeah, we went over that in this thread: ARMD Tv and Film versions. The corrections have been made and will be part of the next update.

That stripped armor makes no sense to me at all. I'm glad it's fanon and not official. The Galactica takes a pounding in the series, which it could never hope to survive if it's armor had been removed. Hell, the thing takes a nuke in the miniseries; quite impossible to survive without some kind of REALLY powerful armor.

Kicking over the anthill, hmmm? Very Babylon 5-esque

I suppose there's always that. But it might be some good insight into where they are going with the Thirteenth Colony.

Whoa, that gives away quite a bit about the nature of the Thirteenth Colony. Obviously they are as advanced as the Colonials then. Wow.

Watch it for yourself and decide. In my own personal opinion, the series never improves. I'm only about a dozen episodes from the end and it's still as awful as the first episode. I knew it would be, but I have other reasons for carefully going through the series (obviously). I know that's not inspiring, but that's my view for what it's worth. On the plus side, there are some really cool mecha sprinkled throughout the series that act like military mehca. There are a few battles that are fun to watch. I also like the big UN Spacy warships of Macross 7, though the Varauta ships are fugly. Sadly, most of the ship battles are pants. Well, best of luck.

And cool toys! *just got his VF-1J Revoltech*

Nope. Are those significant things that they might mean something?

Hehehe, not yet. I'll probably release an update sometime in the next month. I got about 25 new profiles completed of mostly Macross 7 vehicles. That's small, but enough to release. However, I'm working on revisions, corrections, house cleaning and other little website things that have been neglected for far too long. These will take a while to finish.

Nope. UNSQMTDB is briscojr84's website, the Macross Mecha Manual is my website. Together, we are McCaen's/March Overtechnology Guide

That's really cool. I wonder if any of the TV links sites will start showing it

Just had another pondering about the Kara Thrace thing. I'm going to assume Kara Thrace is not a Cylon in this scenario: Fact 1: The episode where she "dies" had her Viper descending into a Maelstrom. Guess: Thrace could have travelled through a naturally occuring FTL phenomena (or artificially created FTL phenomena left by the Thirteenth colony or something else). This led her to Earth. The maelstrom does bear more than a little resemblance to Thrace's own paintings. Fact 2: The Colonial fleet encounters some unexplained power outage (fleet-wide) when they jump to the Ionian Nebula. Guess: We are all assuming it's some sort of elaborate sabotage, but what if its an effect of the aforementioned FTL phenomena? Thrace uses this FTL phenomena again and returns from Earth to meet up with the fleet. Thus Thrace is still human, she's been to Earth like she says and it all links to her past established in the series so far. Maybe?

I've had to login because of a logout once this week. I haven't noticed any correlation between visits to MW from my home/work computers, but I'll keep an eye on it and see if it happens again for the next little while.

The Wiki says January 2008 is the air date for Season 4. That sounds awfully far off

meh_cd Maybe, but the seven Cylons seem to revere the final five so they might do so. Still, this is just a wild theory. kalvasflam Yeah, good point about the resurrection ship. Though we do know there are other resurrection ships and if the Final Five built the Seven it figures that the Five built the Resurrection ships as well. And we all know the Cylon's love of "backdoors"

valk1j I suppose I could. I'll add it to the SDF-1 Macross (film version) line art section. VFTF1 What gave it away? LOL Thank you so much for visiting and enjoying the website. I'm really glad you like it. Ishimaru Are you asking about the SDF-1 and Megaroad profiles on the Macross Mecha Manual website or the SDF-1 Macross and Megaroad profiles on the UN Spacy Quartermaster's Tactical Database website? From the way you've worded your post, I'm guessing you're asking about briscojr84's website. Since the Macross Mecha Manual is a sister-website of his own, briscojr84 has decided not to feature any vehicle profile on his own UNSQMTDB website if that vehicle has been featured on the Macross Mecha Manual. He does not wish to duplicate efforts. This is why the SDF-1 and Megaroad ships all appear offline on his website.

Yeah, I thought about that too. When they had to flee Kobol I thought it might be possible that the whole story is a "full circle" kind of thing. It's also strongly hinted at with a few other occurances that are just too perfect, like the Algae Planet and the Supernova. And now that Tyrol is revealed as a Cylon, it makes much more sense why he of all people in the landing party discovered the Temple on the Algae Planet. Without Tyrol as a Cylon, his excuse; "I just felt compelled to walk" was pretty ridiculous. If Starbuck is the last Cylon of the Final Five, it could explain many things. Thrace's painting, which is also the marker showing the way to Earth, would be explained if she were a Cylon. This is also consistent with how the writers have tried to hint to the audience that Tyrol was a Cylon. Also, if the Final Five can be resurrected like the other Cylon human models, it would explain why Kara Thrace is alive after her quite obvious death. Her appearance in a Viper could easly be explained as a different Viper captured by the Cylons during the war, an occurance which has been established before.

Depends on the Valkyrie, but I almost always prefer some variation on a forward pointing position. Assuming 0 is straight forward; The VF-1A is almost always at a 45 angle forward, usually deeper. The VF-1J is 65-75 degree forward. I like the VF-1S directly forward 45 forward or about 115-125 rearward. Aside from those positions, I don't mind either the VF-1A or the VF-1S in rearward positions, but for some reason any rearward position for the VF-1J bothers me. As a vote from the available options, I'd have to choose forward most often.

I can honestly say I liked this version of All Along The Watchtower as well. Actually, it may be more accurate to say I loved the instrumental both of the song itself and the build up near the end. That was some seriously awesome musical scoring. Starbuck as a Cylon? Well, I suppose with Tory, Tyrol, Tigh and Samuel all coming out, anything is possible. I can't deny that this was a great season finale. But then again, the multi-episode arcs and finales they've had already have been nothing but first rate. There's so much continuity in this series, I'm surprised it's so popular. But I guess that's the thing now. For a long, LOOOONG time television was standalone fare only. But with stuff like 24, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes and others, it seems grand long term storytelling on television is back in fashion. It's about damn time too I do indeed likey...very muchy! This television show rocks. It's just flat out the best science fiction on television.

WHOA Where to start? My gawd, these were two fantastic season ending episodes! I LOVED Lee Adama's character development in these two episodes. His final monologue on the stand was fantastic. I also really liked the animosity between him and his father. I have a feeling Admiral Adama was hard with his son intentionally, because he knew his son would make a great defense for Baltar and ensure a fair trial. I can not wait to see a scene with Lee and Bill together after these two episodes. The trial; wow, shades of OJ Simpson. A trial where almost everyone hates the guy and knows he's guilty, but he gets off. That was intense. Romo Lampkin again was great in action, especially his opening to the trial whcih even threw the judges off. I also really liked how he put Lee on the stand (and on the spot). That was so true to his character; it's exactly what he would have done. I was both thrilled and saddened to hear about Laura's cancer returning, although I think this is a great creative choice. Her miracle cure through injection of Cylon blood was a little too sci-fi cliche. I should have known these fellas wouldn't go that route for long. And yet again, Baltar never fails to entertain. His pathetic self-absorbed mind ran rampant in these episodes and it was a a riot watching him slime and slid on his belly. That what his character is best at. It's going to be interesting to see how Baltar's life turns out in season four now that he's been ostracized by everyone. The final...FOUR? Okay, so it's supposed to be FIVE, but who's counting? So if Tory, Tyrol, Tigh (whoa, never realized how many "t" names there were until now) and Samuel are all Cylons, how the hell can this be? The Cylon War happened 40 years ago and the Cyclons couldn't have developed/built near-perfect human models that quickly. So how can these four be Cylons from that long ago? The obvious answers is they have not been Cylons that long, that the originals did in fact exist and these Cylons are copies of the original humans that they replaced when the original humans were killed/captured. I've just seen the episodes, so I'm sure there are other possibilities I'm not considering as yet. But it's going to be fun thinking and posting about it. Okay, so how the hell is Starbuck still alive? Her Viper was seen exploding...or was it? I suppose it's possible that A) Thrace's Viper did explode, she ejected and was picked up by Cylons B) The Cylon Heavy Raider was the ship that actually exploded and somehow Thrace has managed to catch up with the Colonial fleet even though her Viper has no jump drive (piggy backing on a Cylon ship? Sounds kinda contrived, so I doubt it). Well, I'm eager to see how they explain this one in season four. Oh yeah, All Along The Watchtower. That was hilarious and quite fitting. Too bad they couldn't afford the original version of the song (or the U2 version, I love that cover). Well, that's about it for now, though I'm sure there is more coming

That's a great little fan film. I especially liked the "retard" thing It's tragic. And yet Quentin Tarantino gets off for all he steals. Every time I see one of his films, it's a trivia contest to see if I can remember what scenes, concepts and outright shots were taken directly from 70s cinema. It's amazing what film critic opinion will do for a director

I'm at work. I can get away with spending my whole day surfing the web, but watching television or movies in full sound is going a bit too far I'm afraid. Mores the pity Plus I got my package of Revoltech figures coming in today. I might be torn

Oh, I'll have no problem posting my thoughts. I'll hardly be able to contain myself once I finish out this season. I'm glad you guys are having fun reading my posts. I'm just really happy with this show so far and love to talk about it. I'm going to try and finish off the last two episodes this week. That's a great pciture of the Pegasus, btw. Thanks for posting. I've collected all the pictures of BSG that I've seen in this thread and some more I've found online. I'm really happy that ZOIC shared these with the fans.

To be honest, I'm trying to err on the side of intelligence. The last time I provided the obvious answer, a member here thought I was flaming him for stating such a blatantly obvious fact. Luckily that situation was resolved calmly. Even so, I figured it can't hurt to assume the best (that people know) in future discussions rather than assuming the worst (that people don't know).
