Good point. I was thinking more of the injured Centurion, but a second pass makes it clearer that it is indeed still CGI. Very good work, though.
Although, is that supposed to be the same one? He survives a fall like that and Adama offs him with a length of pipe? (No flashlights handy, I suppose.)
Suzanne… Thanks for comment on my theory.
I agree with that it seems silly that the Cylon survives the fall but is so easily killed with a pipe…but unless I missed it, I don’t think the Cylon was still on the hunt when Adama attacked him. It is possible that the centurion was badly damaged in the fall but just hadn’t died yet and Adama just finished him off. Someone please let me know if there was more in the sode that I missed.
i am pretty sure it is the same centurion- when adama is falling towards that roof- you can see another hole in the roof- i assume from the centurion’s fall.
i wonder if adama will find out some piece of incriminating information…that leads him to leave (or as i suspected from the series-be booted out of) the military…
interesting that the old style centurions have some sort of blood-like lubricant, while the new centaurions seem to be bio-substance-free (i don’t remember seeing guts when they are killed)…this centurion seems more like a precursor for the raiders…
I assumed it was oil or coolant, but the way Adama lingered, tasting his hand etc., made me wonder.
The old centurions, in an odd way, also seem like they have more “human” reactions (I can’t quite call them “emotions”) than the new toasters, too; I never felt any kind of emotional response for the new centurions, but I almost felt something for this old one, maybe because we briefly saw things from his perspective.
I suppose it kind of makes sense that the old centurions have more human-like qualities, maybe even something like blood, since they’re the ones that are trying so hard to be human that they eventually create the twelve humanoid cylon models. These guys are sentient, and the new ones are not (yet, at least), and they “grew up” under the influence of the humans that they were created/enslaved by, so weird as it sounds, it would make sense for them to be more psychologically, and maybe even more biologically, advanced than the new centurions (if you define the word “advanced” as being more human-like, a definition which at least Brother Cavil would definitely call into question…).
I for one need to give props to Chuck (otherwise he will starve) for his observation about the Centurion:
Here you go Chuck…have some props. You deserve them.
Well a pipe in a mere mortal’s hand would have pretty much zero effect on the cylon’s head in question, however, Adama, the Chuck Norris of the 12 colonies, well, I think you see where this is going.
For some reason, the old centurions seem a touch more menacing than the new ones. In that picture of the old and new centurions facing off, I could totally see the old one beating the craaaap out of the new one.
Agreed! but the people who are adding in all that nice Digital Color need to tone down lil Adama’s scary neon blue eyes.:eek:
Honestly - it doesn’t get much cooler than a mid air fight with a classic Cylon
but I do agree, that the overall storyline is lacking…
Still - it’s BSG, so yeah I’m gonna check it out
Maybe the gravity on this planet is different which allowed them to survive such a fall? Maybe Adama had Cylon (NO!) strength?
Well, considering we’ve only seen what, eight minutes, I think the story line is decent so far. Similar to the mini-eps from the summer.
