Bsg what was the plan

Improve this question. Community Bot 1. Just as an aside, Ron Moore said he was always bothered by the "They have a plan" line, since he really had no idea what their plan was. Why not watch "The Plan" and see for yourself? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. No surprise I loved the first few seasons of BSG and was sorely disappointed by the random mess that was the end, probably around the time they randomly picked the "Final Five". So much potential and so many brilliant moments ruined by a "we will just make stuff up as we go along" game plan : — Andres F.

Well, that was what it became after the first attack failed, but somewhere I don't recall off-hand where in The Plan or in an episode someone, i THINK a Cavil, made a remark about how the plan had failed and they found themselves needing to improvise and roll with the punches after that. Izkata I'd say that's a goal, not a plan : in any case, see the accepted answer: sadly there was no plan, as the show's creator admitted.

Sam and Jean Barolay later observe several Number Fives burying numerous dead human bodies, realize that Cylons have taken humanoid form, and resolve to attack them. They do so later, while a Cavil version supervises the Fives' work. Cavil plays dead and survives the attack unharmed.

Mistakenly believing Cavil to be a human being, Sam and his friends take the "priest" with them back to their camp while Cavil is clearly shocked to see Anders. Back on the Galactica, the events of the first-season episodes are depicted, in part. Cavil meets with Boomer to discuss ways in which she might cripple the Galactica, and Boomer comes up with a plan to bomb the ship's water storage facilities.

As she tries to implement her plan, Boomer becomes increasingly distraught because she has fallen in love with Chief Galen Tyrol Aaron Douglas. Some of the previously unknown backstory of " Water " is depicted. He demands that the Number Five he has been meeting with attempt to kill Commander Adama. He does so as depicted in the events in the episode " Litmus ".

The Number Two, meanwhile, works to listen in on Colonial Fleet communications, and becomes convinced that Kara "Starbuck" Thrace Katee Sackhoff holds some special purpose for the humanoid Cylons. He begins to paint the nebula depicted in Season Three episodes. Cavil, realizing that the Number Two known as Leoben Conoy has had his identity compromised as depicted in the events of the miniseries during the Galactica's re-arming trip to Ragnar Anchorage , demands that the Number Two turn himself over to the humans and attempt to deceive or kill them.

He does so as depicted in scenes from the episode " Flesh and Bone ". When Boomer's plan to deprive the Fleet of water fails and Boomer actually helps the Galactica locate more water , Cavil demands that Boomer kill Commander Adama. She first attempts suicide, and later purposefully botches the assassination attempt. Cavil, worried about Dr.

Baltar's attempt to develop a Cylon detection machine, orders the Number Six known as Shelly Godfrey to frame Baltar for treason. She does so, but her attempt fails when she purposefully turns an amateurishly manipulated series of security tapes over to Commander Adama.

Her identity compromised, Cavil orders the Six into an airlock and kills her telling her to report back to the Cylons the Fleet's location. Cally Henderson's assassination of Boomer is depicted as well. In desperation, Cavil orders the Number Four known as Simon to destroy the ship on which he lives with his family. Distraught at the idea of killing the people he loves, Simon attempts to turn his wife against him.

Overcome by guilt, he reunites with her and then commits suicide by rigging an airlock to jettison himself into space, while outside of Resurrection range. In the aftermath of Simon's suicide, there is concern that he might have been a Cylon.

But his wife, Giana, reveals that he left a suicide note. Nonetheless, when Simon is revealed by Kara Thrace to be a Cylon Giana seeks solace from Chief Tyrol—who is beginning to suspect that he himself might be a Cylon. Meanwhile, back on Cylon-occupied Caprica , the other version of Cavil has ingratiated himself with Sam Anders. Cavil has ordered the Number Four to attempt to kill members of Sam's team, but none have died and Cavil criticizes the Four's actions.

Cavil himself tries to undermine Sam's fragile psychological well-being, but Sam rejects Cavil's counsel. The two run into Anders' team, Cavil makes a failed attempt to trick Sam into thinking they are Cylons and attacking them. Helo and Starbuck join them and attack a local Cylon base. Starbuck is wounded, taken captive by the Cylons, and subjected to various breeding experiments.

Anders, Helo, and the others rescue her, discovering that Simon is a Cylon in the process. Later, after Starbuck and Helo have been away from Caprica for months and return to rescue Anders' group with Galactica troops, Cavil tries to assassinate Starbuck and Anders but finds that he cannot pull the trigger of his rifle, still thinking about Anders comment that death wouldn't make him love people any less. When the Cylon Centurions attack, Cavil is forced to hide with the rest of the humans.

The Centurions break off their attack. From here, the tale begins as a single narrative, documenting the Fall of the Twelve Colonies , before splitting into two distinct but related stories on Caprica and Galactica. Speaking at the San Diego Comic Con, director and star of The Plan , Edward James Olmos stated that he believes there will be several more Battlestar Galactica movies in the future and is confident that the DVD release of The Plan will sell well enough to facilitate these films:.

This statement, however, is by no means official, as both Ron Moore , David Eick , and Syfy have made no mention of any additional Battlestar films. Jump to: navigation , search.

However, this creates a significant continuity error, as Adama asked Valerii to do so because Tyrol had been shot down over Kobol and Starbuck had stolen the raider, meaning Giana's statement as to her work that day is non-sensical.
