    The end is nigh, only a few weeks to go until the final batch. At least they're not doing a Caprica on it.

    i put it in white text.

    i put it in white text.

    Which only works to hide something if you use a theme where the background is white, or close to it, as opposed to one of the themes where white text on a black background is standard..... Spoiler tags, on the other hand, take this into account, and hide the text in a solid band of its own colour, regardless of the theme settings.

    In fairness, it's not much of a spoiler, they spent half a season building up to it so it was obvious.

    Is that really the point?

    Actually, yes it is the point. I would assume that the actual spoiler being referred to involves what happens when those characters return, and where they fit in. The fact that they are returning isn't a spoiler.

    Thank the gods it's coming back soon.

    I kinda thought it was obvious the blue aliens were coming back since they've never left the opening recap and Chloe is going all scaly.

    I've decide when the show returns i won't quote ratings, as there is no point since it's axed. I'll just pick apart each ep. and look for critical flaws that led to the cancellation.

    No its not the point. So now that you think its ok to not spoiler some future episode references and not others could you please explain to the other users of the board how we can tell which is ok to post and which must be spoilered?

    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, here's something that I'm not going to put spoilers around. Young will be back, as will Scott. Chloe will not only be back, but her "changing" storyline will come to a head. Those blue aliens who started her storyline, and have been in the recap at the start of every episode this season will also be in it. Do you see the difference between all that information and actual spoilers? If not, then I'll spell it out to you, all that information is obvious to everyone who has watched the episodes that have already been shown. It would be a spoiler to say that any of those characters were definitely not going to be in any further episodes, because that would involve a major change to storylines compared to the way that they have been progressing up to now, but to report that those characters are going to be in the second half of the season, i.e. the storylines that we have been watching are going to continue in some form, is not a spoiler, it is obvious.

    I should also point out that I haven't read any spoiler sites, all those "spoilers" above are assumptions made based on past episodes, and I'm willing to put money on them all being correct.

    Destiny was dumped into the middle of a battle with some aliens and it looked like they were about to be asploded everywhere. There was lots of shouting and sparks. It was all rather generic.

    I wonder how much of that is in the first episode back. It looks awful action packed.
    Chloe's transformation is a lot like Kerrigan in Starcraft, if she turns into the commander of the blue aliens then that's just plagiarism.

    Hopefully Greer gets to just shoot her in one of the episodes although that's probably too easy. It's gonna be a situation where he should kill her, doesn't, then she does something bad that probably kills someone else and then she gets away to help the blue aliens figure out the mysteries of destiny. The end.

    Still really annoyed that they cancelled this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 83,350 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I'm torn on whether I should bother watching this on SyFy at all.

    Of course your going to watch it. Everybody that comes here is going to watch it.

    You could watch it on the non syfy stations like we have to do over here. It means waiting a while but at least they won't be getting the revenue.

    Can you not TiVo it? I thought this doesn't count in ratings, as I think I read somewhere else that despite evidence of peolpe doing this, it didn't count. Presumably because people wouldn't watch the ads if the had it recorded.

    Well unless you have a Neilson box on top of your TV then your not really contributing anything to scifi oh wait i mean syfy.
