    Caprica 6 was too tall. It's a quirk of mine - no matter what else about a girl, if she's taller than me, I don't find her attractive. Granted, I don't know how she compares to me, but given that she was a head above Gaius in every scene they were in, it didn't look good.

    Sharon was the hottie of the BSG series for me.

    Really? I thought it made the scenes better, more "otherworldy", also made her more intimidating.

    It's been a while since I saw the pilot but the main cast had a distinctly "We're in highschool" thing going. It is long, long ago in a section of the galaxy far, far away so I guess the school system may not match up one-to-one, but that was certainly the impression I got as well.

    Yes the character is supposed to be in high school.

    The actress however is not in high school.

    Ohh. Yeah, I said that a few posts ago. But she was born in April '87, I think, which would put her at 22, no? Thus my confusion.

    Whats important is that BSG had some of the most attractive women on TV. Love or hate Six, she was indeed smokin hot, my girlfriend constantly spoke of how shed lez out with her...to the point it became not that funny or hot, but rather troublesome.

    Boomer was also very pretty.

    Roslin had it goin on for a Gilf.

    Caprica needs more of this and less girls that I probably wouldnt notice out at a bar if they want to post naked suggestive ads and expect them to work.

    Im totally ok with the actress playing her character, not every chick needs to be stunning, but for an ad like that to work...they kind of do.

    And with the use of a "wouldn't notice her if you passed her on the street" variation, the Internet forum discussion of an actress's attractiveness has completed its standard cycle!

    The poster is displaying the character, not the actress, and is within the context of the show.

    If there are signs that an actor is underage and you find it faptacular, then that's kind of awkward.

    She looks 16. Awkward.

    Im more discussing the quality of the ad then the actress herself. Like I said, in the context of the show shes fine, in that ad she isnt.

    And everyone can have their own tastes in girls, you may find her more attractive, however id be willing to bet a majority of men wouldnt find her that hot, and thus the ad does nothing to draw people in, and instead seems awkward.

    I guess, as someone who will probably enjoy this show and want it to succeed, that ad will probably push more people away then it will gain. Its just sort of awkward.

    Agreed. She looks more like a real person, which has been scientifically proven to be 10 times sexier than the peroxide-blond, surgically-enhanced, collagen-injected variety.

    Nonsense. I don't care if she's playing 16, if she's actually 22, then there's no squick factor. Especially in a world where hollywood continually casts people in their 20's as people barely into puberty.

    Which is an intentional photo manipulation to make her look artificial, I assume. GIS seems to prove that Alessandra Torresani is not actually that pale.
    Caprica 6 was too tall. It's a quirk of mine - no matter what else about a girl, if she's taller than me, I don't find her attractive. Granted, I don't know how she compares to me, but given that she was a head above Gaius in every scene they were in, it didn't look good.
    Tricia Helfer is 5'10, which while quite tall for a woman isn't insane. Keep in mind that she was in like 6" heels pretty much every time she was on screen.

    Tricia Helfer is objectively hot. Doubly so because you could play video games with her and while she probably wouldn't be great at it she'd give it a genuine try, rather then a "I like you" try.

    Looks like January 22 is the day.

    Looks good to me, yeah I bet some are going to have issues with it since she's more "cute" then sexy but I like her look. Sure I like super models with big boobs like anyone else but it's nice to see a more normal human being portrayed as a female for once instead of one of those "hot girls" you normally seen paraded around in any given show.

    I certainly wouldn't mind her wetting my captains whistle.

    Those things are easily enough to do and get past but when it comes down to it they use older hot looking people to sex it up and market it better.

    Just part of Hollywood.

    I was a late-comer to the series, watched all but the final half season late last year while out to sea, and then more recently watched 4.5 when it came out on DVD.

    I loved it. Not all of it, there were some hard parts to get through emotionally (Billy, no!) but I did like the final episodes, I understand the change of tone and pacing was jarring to some, but the quality was still very high.
    The scenes (from the extended finale) with Baltar back on Caprica dealing with his dad, back when Six first came into his life were amazing. Perfect performances. The scene at the end on Earth when Baltar explains to Six that he understands a lot about agriculture and then starts to break down and she comforts him brought tears to my eyes. Kara disappearing was a little hard to take, but I ultimately accepted that it simply was what it was. Kara died. The Kara that came back was an angel or something. She explained it perfectly well herself right before she vanished.

    it's a separate dvd, and it sort of fills in a few gaps in the original storytelling (we get to see what some people were up to before they showed up on camera), and it's told mostly from the Cylon perspective. I liked it myself, but it's caught a lot of flak for being kind of clunky.

    Also it has boobs and dongs.
