The timeline of Battlestar Galactica should look like this: Three thousand five hundred years ago, humans on one of the thirteen colonial planets created the Cylon warrior and then developed the human-shaped Cyon. After that, the human-shaped Cyon can reproduce naturally. Therefore, the downloading resurrection technology was abandoned. Thousands of years later, a war broke out between humans and machines. Five Cylonians survived and wanted to go to another 12 colonies to inform the humans above not to conduct research on Cylon machines. On the way, they were in Kobo. Stay here to find clues to the earth. However, due to the limitation of interstellar travel technology at that time, the five people traveling at the speed of sublight reached the Twelve Colonies two thousand years later. However, at this time, it was just in time for the war between the samurai and humans. Join the Celon warrior to help them study the humanoid Celon and resurrection technology (at this time the Celon warrior's own technology has developed to a half-human form, which is a hybrid).
The first one created Cavill, and then made the other seven. One of them was killed by Cavill because of his jealousy. Then Cavill was dissatisfied with the creation of the five artifacts. The original words could almost be used. Technology creates a higher-end body and feels a broader spectrum of rays, instead of using humans as a template to be tied in this fragile skin, Cavill imprisoned five people and then implanted memories and threw them into the human group. Feel the pain of being a human, so that when you return, you can realize the mistakes in their creation. Afterwards, the slaughter of humans by the Cyonians broke out. At this time the first season began, of course, all the announcements above were at the end of the fourth season. (Updated later)
Cavill always knew about the Ultimate Five, but blocked this memory from the other six, and set it to prohibit discussion. Cavill's treatment of Ellen is a bit similar to the child's rebellion against his mother. Later, he tortured Sol and sleeps on Ellen in New Cablanca, which is a bit of abusive father and oedipus plot.
1. Insider: Very profound, dozens of ships of four to fifty thousand people are equivalent to a small country. Many issues are discussed in the play, such as politics, human nature, love, religion, media, public opinion...
Regarding politics, it seems that the director wants to express the importance of adhering to democracy and human rights under extreme conditions, but what I see is the importance of a leader’s dictatorship when he has more reasonable and relatively more information. The incited fools are not worthy of rights, and without first-hand information and unable or unwilling to consider the overall situation, the voting system of parliamentary representatives has great defects. The representative system tends to focus on the interests of small groups rather than the collective interests, and is prone to cause great political internal friction due to rights competition. Therefore, the innate advantage of the proletarian dictatorship is to let the ruling class ignore its own interests as much as possible. Moreover, the Bodhisattva means to save one person for one life, and the thunder means to save thousands of lives.
But in this case, how to convince the public is another problem (so I admire the current system and mechanism of the Communist Party of China, the premise is that I believe that the top leadership is absolutely wise and information master), the play is very clever Laura unites with the Admiral, using Adama's military power and Laura's religious beliefs to unite a fleet of 50,000 people.
It’s easy to get involved with religion, which makes me hard to understand. Doesn’t it mean that most of the higher education talents are not religious. Although it is said that science will eventually move closer to religion, the blind and superstition of religion is really unreasonable. Of course, under conditions of extreme pain and hopelessness, religion is the easiest thing to grasp the hearts of people. The first religion was born under such conditions. Laura used it in the beginning and Gaias's call to believers at the end ( In my opinion, it is completely nonsense, moaning without illness) religious preaching. Religion and love are two elements that are completely incomprehensible to Western science fiction. For example, Hyperion, the reason why the heroine travels through space in the end turned out to be an understanding of the true meaning of love...
One point in the play that is very weak to deal with is that under the capitalist system, the maintenance of social order after the disappearance of capital lacks rationality, or it is impossible to maintain it under the current system. For example, like the miners on the Titan ship, after the capital disappears They can't find a reason to work, and the final result in the play is to find someone to rotate and forcibly end the strike. Maybe the screenwriter just wanted to show the internal contradictions that existed in the fleet, but this problem could not be resolved without involving system reforms, so they could only get rid of it. But the place where the screenwriter or the president keeps up with the general is to give humanity a goal, similar to resorting to religion, that is, to find the hope of the earth. This has maintained the stability of the fleet throughout the voyage. However, the discovery that the earth is a garbage dump directly led to the rebellion of the fleet. In the play, the grasp of group psychology is in place, group unconsciousness, group low IQ, riots, etc., of course, it is basically group panic and hopelessness.
Therefore, I want to explain the superiority of the current Chinese social system. If China controls these fleets, there will never be a strike and rebellion. The advantage of China's current system is that it allows ordinary people to find the value of themselves or their own work, rather than simply resorting to capital. . This is the fundamental superiority of the socialist system, and the pursuit of spiritual wealth and satisfaction under the premise of sufficient material, but now many people envy the West... Firmly adhere to the four self-confidence! ! ! But the point raised in the play is very realistic. Under such conditions, the solidification of the class becomes a foregone conclusion. The miners may be miners for the rest of their lives, and the misunderstood work-study students may also be miners for the rest of their lives. This cannot be solved by any system. Helpless, no matter how lofty spiritual values are, they cannot resist a hopeless future or material envy.
Regarding love, Laura, both a good person and a dying person, moved with her enthusiasm the general who initially disdained elementary school teachers as president, and finally the birth of love is a very touching line in the play. This is the busiest one dealing with love in so many dramas and movies I have seen, Li and Starbus, sam and Xiaodu, xo and wife, chief and wife and Bouma, Athena and Silo... more than The deep love that will be the most touching and consistent with Laura's age experience, the former is passionate, family trivial, in short, very full. Among them, the tenth episode of the third season, there is an extended version of a boxing dinner that interspersed the emotional entanglement between Li and Starbucks, which was deeply impressed. The emotional chaos and sway of the master of the fleet is probably related to the emptiness in the heart. People need an emotion to replace fear. The cheapest and most convenient one is sex and love. But in the end, the various emotions are qualitative, which shows that the stability of the relationship established in the crisis situation is still there.
2. Outside line: For the war between humans and the Cylons, spit about religion, and write later, now that s04e10 has not qualitatively continued from the second season (should be) Hera, the play keeps suggesting that she is the key. Her identity as a hybrid between human and Cylon directly led me to think that the plot would develop in the direction of combining humans and Cylon, and it turned out that she was only a god’s pawn to lead the way for mankind. All this has happened, and will continue to happen. When Galactica finished the last jump and showed the crater of the moon underneath him, and when the camera lifted up and the outline of the continent of Africa appeared, I suddenly realized how the plot was, as I wrote earlier. The timeline is 150,000 years late?
The outer theme of the whole drama is the entanglement between humans and robots. Robots treat humans like Cavill treats Ellen before. The creation's rebellion against the creators. According to my understanding at the beginning, as I said before, I thought it was in God. Under the guidance of, robots and humans will coexist harmoniously, but I didn't expect that they would part ways in the end. Human history is equivalent to shutting down and restarting, and then going to entanglement with the Cylons again. The plot setting is very unexpected. Sure enough, history is reincarnation.
For the existence of God, science fiction is inseparable from the hypothesis of advanced existence, which is understandable. We humans, as a species, travel and chase in the universe, and may just shuttle back and forth in the fish tank. Occasionally, the gods are tired and can't stand it anymore, so they let a few fishes make the voices of gods to give the instructions of the gods. As shown in the play, God makes everything circulate in this way in order to get a picture of harmony between man and Cyon, or a human population that will not go toward destruction, and Cyon is like a self-destructive machine created by humans. We live up to our promises.
One of the shortcomings of the Cylons is the resurrection technology that existed at the beginning. Being able to resurrect means not cherishing it, and at the same time it is accompanied by the accumulation of pain. The meaning of life is to cherish the fear of loss, to cherish time, to cherish life, to cherish the people around you, but this requires a strong rationality to abandon the tempting technique of resurrection. Cavill obviously can’t. What he pursues is physical touch. Enjoy, feel the dark matter and feel the x-ray, instead of focusing on the feelings between people or between Cyon and Cyon, other Cyonians can see that they have been pursuing the concept of love. For example, the Sixth has been asking Gaia Does Si love her, and Gaias's expression on the number six when she says I love you after allowing her access to the security code. The feelings between people are the value of human existence.
3. Several points are unreasonable: Starbus finally entered the coordinates according to the note of Hera, and successfully merged with the fleet, indicating that the coordinates set by the fleet before are the current earth, which means that the earth 2 has been discovered in the previous habitable planet exploration In other words, before the Admiral decided to rescue Hera, humans decided to emigrate to Earth 2, and later the Cyon spacecraft destroyed Galactica and escaped. This was purely accidental, so the plan was purely to create a second new Caprica? Also, the decision of the Admiral to rescue Hera is not in line with the image setting. I did not see the importance of Hera. The only thing I think is that its hybrid identity makes Cyon and humanity realize that coordinated development is hard. Reason, it ended up parting ways...
There is also the fact that Cylon's combat power is really weak, and the plot is forcibly weakened. It is understandable. Another is Bouma’s character design. Turning face is really fast. The plot needs to turn face at any time. The same is turning face. Li's changes seem to be slightly reasonable. He insists on justice but has no appraisal position. 3. A few details: the setting props in the play are very careful, the interior scenes added by Galactic; the spaceship model on the air combat sand table; the armor of the Cyon warrior, the surface of the field service is matte texture, and the interior of the spacecraft is mirrored.
