BSGcast: "The Plan" Review

http://BSGcast.com for a chance to win dinner with Admiral Adama! Jane Espenson and Edward James Olmos were the people in charge on this one: Olmos was there for every episode that went into making The Plan happen in Season 2, and Jane was there for none of them and it shows.

the movie should be called NO PLAN. Cavil was making it up as he went along. The plan was to kill all humans. Really!? then why didnt you!?

[asianmalaysian]

Actually, I liked the admission that the plan was frakked up from the word go. Almost everything the cylon's tried to do backfired. They were obviously part human. I do take your points about the blasphemies which were unnecessary and hurtful.

Tory is a boring character

[kwanlifu]

Sorry but I liked the Simon arc. The contrast of relationship between Cavil and Simon on caprica and the Galactica was interesting. The Plan is clearly not as good as the Tv show but it's not a fail as they say.

[MyraLaRyn]

I completely agree with pretty much everything you guys said. Except the bits about Tory and the Simon story. I liked the Simon bit. But great review guys.

Well, there was a lot of cylons on the ships, some 8? Now, obviously there weren't milions of cylons on the colonies. The conclusion must be that they have boarded the flights on purpouse, what purpouse? The only REASON they could be on the flights was that they wanted to destroy the fleet from within. -> they had a plan! Thus the premise of The Plan is Duhbunked! (btw. they could have used anthrax in tooth fillings.... etc) It just doesn't add up!

[TorchwoodFanGirl]

Huh? Care to elaborate cause you're not making a lot of sense.

[nehorlavazapalka]

yeah, that's exactly why the cylons boarded the flights/fleet, because it was to complicated to get killed'n'downloaded in the first strike....you fail

[aeonbrit]

it was explained in the plan why they box when a cylon downloads their memories merge with the entire line over time d'anna downloaded many time and she was helped by other threes to uncover the 5 thus the entire line had to go but really d'anna should have been in the plan

[aeonbrit]

you should already know their are plans for mroe bsg movies

[asianmalaysian]

@greyfox129 I take the point that it was to describe the cylon's Plan but I wished that they'd worked in how the cylons were also effected by Gods Plan (for want of a better term) which was hinted at throughout the series and played such a pivotal guiding role thoughout the series.

*yawn* "The Plan" wasn't to anihilate the remaining ships, it was the complete annihilation of the human race from before the first strike. It always has been. Its flawed simplicity is the story of Cavil and what The Plan was about - it was too simple, too flawed but his arrogance never let him see that.

Perhaps you need to get over the arrogant idea that whay you thought was important to see in The Plan was what the rest of us wanted to see too.
