Do you think the centurions are under-used?

[akuma07]

I know the new BGS is more about the characters, and less about the sci-fi, but do you think the writters have under used the centurions? I do.

I think the potential missed storyline are endless, and I only hope with the uprising on Galatica that they are used abit more in its retake.

[Bey0nd]

Yes the Cylons are totally under used and this very good tv has been changing course since season 2. It has changed from a science fiction based show to a relationship based show - where is the science?!?

The DeSanto thread is kinda active too but it wouldn't be so active if I wasn't posting in it

I think the Centurians are definantly underused. Especially after the "The 6s have no idea of the threat they have unleashed" line when they removed the talons falco inhibitor. I was expecting the centurians to rebel against everyone... Apparently not hahaha

Thats what I was hoping for, they hinted at it endlessly, but alas all we get is 50 mins of Roslyn sulking in a cabin, boring!

I disagree. We did learn then that they were not completely loyal to the Fleet. The whole point is, they are willing to kill other Cylons that they deem a threat. I do, however, think the Centurions know more than the Raiders and the skin jobs.

Question is, is that a fan pipe dream, or have the writters saved it up for the later episodes?

I thought your sole purpose was to post in dead threads?

For some reason I'm really scared that in BSG they are losing money. There were some episodes where the Centurion CGI was particularly good, most notably Valley of Darkness and Season 1, when the plot MEANT that the centurions always make an appearance. This always seems to happen when a show KNOWS its going to end (i.e Stargate Atlantis, and BSG, SG-1 always had stunning effects) or maybe its just me not seeing a proper space battle since 4x01 (4x03 if you include Razor). But for some reason me thinks the writers and producers are saving up for an amazing end. If the episode before "The Plan" is just a load of character development and talking (like most of Season 4 so far) I will be quite disappointed. This doesn't imply that the only things i like about TV is a nice bang everywhere (in every meaning )

[Hetshepsu]

Yeah, definitly! i thought the centurians were really cool, but we haven't seen them much this season

[Replicator Todd]

The centurions have become more and more unused and it is sad...Sometimes I forget BSG is a science fiction show unitl I see spaceships or the centurions.

That's one for your side....not that we're keeping score.

[Detox]

I think this plays on both sides in BSG. Both marines and centurions are highly underused in the series.

[Insipid]

Don't forget that the Centurions are purely CGI and therefore not cheap. Battlestar looks good but it's never had the biggest budget. That being said, where the story needed Centurions to be present, they have been and considering that this show is a character-based narrative rather than action-based, I am perfectly content with it.

[knowles2]

Yes they are way under use.

[the fifth man]

Yeah, definitely under-used. We should have seen more of the centurions than we have in this series.
