My planet Carrilon...

[thomas7g]

Ya know.... if I lived on a planet filled with Tylium... the last thing I would be is a troublemaker!!!!!!

STUPID OVION INSECTBRAINS!!!!!

[amberstar]

That is exactly what happens when you team up with CYLONS! (they weren't too bright in the first place)

Of course, the Cylons had LOTS more BaseShips than the Ovions did. I'm sure that made them agreeable. That, and the prospect of an unlimited amount of free food, I'm sure they were eager partners.

[shiningstar]

I'm sure too senmut.

[Charybdis]

Was Carillon the only planet where Ovions lived?? If that's the case, then Starbuck and Apollo are responsible for the deaths of millions of Ovions!!!!!! They may be as bad as the Cylons!!!

[shiningstar]

I don't know Charybdis

[BST]

Just a thought -- the Ovions are just a writer's pen (or keyboard) away from avoiding extinction. :D

[shiningstar]

I like that thought Bst :D

[thomas7g]

If Bonnie Hammer had been involved, the Galactica's crew would have been destroyed on Carrilon and the show would be about the weird dreams, scare tactics, and the Ovion's search for slutty lounge singers starring John Edwards.....

[shiningstar]

Now THERE is another VISUAL I didn't need
conundrum!

[Senmut]

The destruction of the Ovion race was a byproduct of war. They were one of the Cylon's allies (The Alliance), and shared the dangers. While Starbuck et al did not desire to annihilate a whole race, they stood in the way of Humanity's survival. I would have done the same.
Of course, the Cylons could have transplanted Ovion colonies to other Tylium-rich planets. they were good diggers.

[Charybdis]

Of course, I was just joking about Starbuck and Apollo being the bad guys ;)

The extended scene shows that Apollo and Starbuck decide to not let the huge cache of tylium stay in Cylon hands so they blow it up. The fact that the Ovions had to die was a small price to pay in order to damage the Cylon empire and save humanity!!

[shiningstar]

That's true Charybdis. THanks for putting things
into prospective.

[thomas7g]

In the distance cosmos, a planet filled with tylium is often used in place of RAID.

:D

[kingfish]

The Ovions weren't destroyed. Iblis tells Adama that there are greater powers in the universe than the Cylons or their allies put together. To me this meant that there were other enemies of the Colonials.

[amberstar]

When Iblis said that I thought he was talking about the ship of lights?
What do you all think?

Amberstar

[shiningstar]

I think that he was indeed talking about the ship of
lights.

[kingfish]

Iblis was refering to the ship of Lights. How the Beings of Light were more powerful than the Cylons and all of their allies put together. All of their allies could have been a reference to the Ovions, Borays, and so forth

[Charybdis]

Were the Borays allied with the Cylons???

[shiningstar]

I don't know charybdis I can't remember :(

[Senmut]

Since Humans live on the same planet as the Borays, we can assume that they are NOT allies of the Cylons. If they were, they would have contacted them long ago.
