"S3 of Battlestar Galactica" |
I finally got into BSG over the summer. Watched S1 & S2 on DVD, and talked my husband into watching the premier of S3 Friday night.  Did anyone here watch it? What did you think? Is Starbuck finally breaking after 4 months of non-stop mind-frakking, or is she just plotting her next opportunity to kill Leoben? Who were the Centurions firing at during the final scene, and who is going to die? I loved Gaeta as the secret source, and I hope he doesn't end up dead because of it.

2. "RE: S3 of Battlestar Galactica" |
OK! I have finally seen the premiere. I'm a bit behind because I have to rely on someone to tape it for me. Stupid basic cable.Anyway - I don't know about Starbuck. I wondered if it was a trick, too. But I'm not so sure. I think she really tried not to like the girl, but it would be pretty hard, sinc eshe was just small. How old would she be? Maybe 2, 3 at the most. I like Gaeta too. Chief was pretty rough on him at the end. He told Gaeta he could "do something" to resist. What did he think had been going on all those months? Gaeta *was* doing something - giving the Resistance information. Information they have no other way of getting. Duh. RE Centurions: I have no idea who they were firing at. I don't think they can kill Roslin or Zarek, but I guess we'll see. Poor Apollo. He's pretty chunky. How many episodes until he's lost the weight?

>was that???? …then they

>Well I guess after last night's episode we can put to rest the questions about Starbuck's "daughter".
Another great ep last night. I was suprised they got off New Caprica so soon into this season. I really thought most if not all of the this season would take place on New Caprica and then they would escape at the end of the season. Glad they got off though, looks like they are really gonna have some good plotlines as a result of what went on during the occupation. Looks like all collaborators start getting tossed out the airlocks next episode...including Mr Gaeta?
So glad they killed off Col. Tie's wife. She deserved it. Looks like Tie will be pretty messed up though as a result....and Starbuck looks pretty messed up as well. Glad they decided to get rid of Pegasus. There's a reason this show is called Battlestar GALACTICA. And as I'm sure the producers realized, having the extra ship meant certain key characters couldn't be around as often (Lee for example) which isn't a good thing. Good move to consolidate the cast back onto one ship. Wonder what will happen to Baltar. He's too good a character for them to get rid of him. Also, wonder what will be the dynamic now between Roslind and what's his name, her political rival from before, the guy played by Richard Hatch, was with her when they were going to be executed by the cylons? I bet he becomes her vice president. THe only problem is that he was great as a rival for her...don't see how they can go back to that element after what they went through together on new Caprica.

12. "RE: S3 of Battlestar Galactica" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-07-06 AT 00:25 AM (EST)An overview of the most recent episode that I have seen: Storyline A - Tigh, the Chief, 2 women we've never seen before (maybe just me?), a grieving father and Starbuck's husband are the 6 members of a "jury" that seems to be killing off those who collaborated with the Cylons on New Caprica. It appears as though they are self-appointed. - The Jury executes Jammer, who was a member of the police squad and who helped Callie (Chief's wife) escape from the planned execution of many humans. - Starbuck's husband is disgusted that they killed Jammer, who died pleading that he was sorry and that he had only been trying to help. Chief looks uncomfortable throughout. - Lee reports to Adama that 13 people who were confirmed to have escaped New Caprica have disappeared, including Jammer. - Gaeta is marked for trial and execution. SB's husband says there's no proof, quits. Chief refuses to vote unless there are 6 members. - Starbuck confronts Gaeta in the mess hall. Gaeta tries to explain, but she won't listen. Starbuck is recruited to fill her husband's place on the Jury. - Gaeta is found guilty and abducted. Surrounded by the Jury in the launch bay, he refuses to beg. Starbuck insists that he do just that and demands that he repeat for everyone what he said about feeding info to the Resistance. Chief hears and tells everyone that Gaeta is their inside source, without whom they wouldn't even be on Galactica. Gaeta is freed. - It is discovered that Zarek (who is President, since Baltar isn't with the fleet) has authorised the Jury because he believes that trials for collaborators would further divide the people and also give the collaborators a forum for whatever argument they might have in their defense. - Newly re-sworn-in President Roslin declares there will be no trials for anyone. Storyline B - Baltar wakes up in a cell guarded by a Centurion. Xena comes for a visit. She tells him that the Sixes will decide whether he can stay or not. - Caprica Six comes for a visit. She's mad that she fell for him. She leaves. He calls after her that she needs him and that he needs her. ***** Thoughts: Poor Baltar. He's just not a strong person. Is he going to spend the whole season looking like he's about to cry? Does Starbuck work at being miserable? I really liked Tigh for 2 seasons, despite his dreadful taste in women. I hope he doesn't go downhill from here. He has a lot of nerve standing in judgement of Jammer. Tigh was the one that ordered troops to go in to get food from that other ship after Adama got shot. How many civilians died during that? He got all kinds of mercy then. I think he's not just bitter about the eye. I think he's bitter about his own wife betraying everyone and himself not having seen it. 
I'll be getting the most recently aired episode tomorrow night, I hope.

14. "RE: S3 of Battlestar Galactica" |
That's what is so great about this show. it would've been really easy to have everyone escape, get back on the ships and then resume the search for Earth as if nothign happened.True, that. But the writers do sometimes end storylines abruptly. For example, Tigh's decision to send the troops for the food, Adama arresting Roslin and the Pegasus crew being isolated from Galatica's crew: no censure for Tigh, Adama and Roslin might be an item (that kiss was so awkward) and we now have a little sand-smearing ritual so the 2 crews feel like family. So who knows how long the bitterness plotline will last? I really am worried about Baltar. he is such a great character I hope they figure out a way to incorporate him back into the fleet. But it doesn't look good right now. I like him too. I haven't seen the most recently aired ep, but in the preview he is asking if he's a Cylon. Maybe he'll get ahold of some really important information or something and escape to Galactica, where he'll spend the remainder of the trip to Earth in a cell with all his science stuff so that he can make whatever they tell him to. ***** On an inconsequential note, I'm glad Adama shaved the moustache. It looked silly.

16. "11/3 "Torn"" |
This is going to be incredibly random. Sorry about that.Wow. Where to begin? I think I'll actually start with the podcast. This was the second one I've listened to, and I haven't decided yet whether I'll continue to listen to it. On one hand, there are things that it's really nice to know. RDM clarifies things that aren't as clear as he intended them to be. The break-up between Kara & Anders is complete. I don't have to wonder if they're going to get back together or if he was just giving her space or whatever. "The marriage is over." On the other hand, there were a few things in this week's episode that just made me gleeful as story arcs--things that made me say, "Wow, that's amazing! I love that this is all so interconnected. I can't wait to see where they're taking this." And then, I listened to the podcast, and RDM said, "Yeah, we're not really sure where that's going quite yet. We've left that open." WTFrak!!! AAAAAaaaa! Don't say that. You're piloting this ship; please, please, please tell me you know where we're going and (generally) how to get there! Starbuck... the hair. Katee did not want to cut it, but she did. On camera. With a KNIFE. I love long hair (and in my world, Starbuck's "long" hair is short), but I like her much better with short hair. It's just... yeah. I'd hit that. The Missing!Cylons arc is something that I really find interesting. It seems that there was a schism. When did it happen, and over what? Could there be "good" hidden cylons in the fleet? Are there 5 models of cylon who chose not to join the attack out there somewhere? Could Gaius handle things worse if he TRIED? Honestly, I tend to see him as predestined--like it doesn't really matter what he does or how he changes, he's going to end up where he's supposed to end up, so he may as well just give up and let it happen. The few times where he's really tried to buckle down and do something else, Head!Six has all but physically picked him up and put him back on course. I'd like to believe that Head!Gaius is doing the same thing to Caprica Six, even though we don't get to see that story line. Odds that Tigh ends up in the infirmary with alcohol poisoning before he gets better? Athena and Starbuck were lovers in the first series. Just sayin' is all.

17. "RE: 11/3 "Torn"" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-08-06 AT 00:29 AM (EST)Athena and Starbuck were lovers in the first series. Just sayin' is all. I did not know that. Edit to add: Mind if I do an overview here, too? I find it helps because I forget details. I just finished watching my tape. Overview Baltar and the Cylons - Baltar is scared, confused, uncertain and still in his bathrobe while living with the Cylons. - Baltar still talks with HeadSix (thanks for assigning her a name, udg!), but LiveSix doesn't know about it. He and HeadSix are on a pretty beach. - Six and Xena tell him that he's only useful to them if he knows where Earth is because they'd like to go live there. Baltar has worked out that they need to go to "the lion's head" with blue and red blinking eyes. He has found a nebula with a pulsar that might be a guide. - Six takes him on a little walk where she explains "projecting", which is the Cylon way of viewing life. The hallway where they are walking is dark to Baltar, but Six sees a forest, because she wants to. Then Baltar is back on the beach in his head thinking about how real HeadSix seems to him and wonders if he is projecting. Is he a Cylon? - We learn that the base ships are controled by a "Hybrid", which is apparently half a human-shaped Cylon in what looks like a ressurection bath, hooked up to lots of wires. The Hybrid we see is female and is always talking, though what she says appears to be random. Six explains that some Cylons think the Hybrid has a direct line to God, while others think there is no meaning in what she says. - Gaius wants to know about the other 5 models of Cylons. Six tells him that we don't talk about them. - The Cylons send a ship to the nebula. The ship is infected with a disease. All the clones on board are infected. - Baltar goes to find out what happened. He finds a device which is apparently very old. A nearly-dead Six accuses him of having sent them there to find the disease and die. He chokes her to death. Later, he lies to the Cylons about finding anything suspicious on board the ship. Six knows he lied. Galactica, Bitterness Plot - Starbuck is stupid during manoeuvres. Apollo gives her hell. Kasey comes for a visit, but she tells her mother never to bring her back. - Tigh thinks he sees/hears Ellen, but it's some other woman. - Starbuck and Tigh spend a lot of time getting drunk and sowing dissention by declaring that only people who fought the Cylons *on* New Caprica be means of violence are proper patriots. Everyone else's contribution is nothing in comparison. - Word gets back to Adama and he goes and gives Starbuck and Tigh hell. - Starbuck takes Adama's words to heart, cuts her hair and goes to visit Kasey. - Tigh tells Adama that he isn't the man he was and proceeds to get really, really drunk. Galactica, Road to Earth - Gaeta has been reconstructing Baltar's work and comes to the same conclusions about the pulsar/nebula. - Sharon is given the new name "Athena". Athena and another pilot are sent to the nebula and jump into a fleet of Cylon ships. Athena quotes some scripture about the mighty falling. To be continued. Comments - Well, at least Cara got her her act together. I was disappointed in her a bit there. - I agree, udg: Gaius is just stupid sometimes. He took all those pictures and expected that they wouldn't see the gigantic weird piece of machinery? Then he lied about it? And the thingie itself: Baltar said it looked old, and it certainly appeared to have green stuff growing on it. (In space? *shrug*) Was it left behind by the original travellers who settled the colonies? By happenstance or design? - Oddly, in the last post I made, I was going to ask whether we'd seen the last 5 clones.

18. "A Measure of Salvation" |
Summary on the SciFi siteHere is another example of the characters not having to face the entire consequences of their actions. Helo will not be prosecuted because Adama agreed that it was wrong to try to infect the entire Cylon population. Of course, he still killed them. I would think that the Cylons would abandon the search for Earth, since the disease may have originated with the 13th tribe, thus making Earth a place where the virus might live. So does D'anna think that Baltar is in love with her now? I can't imagine that he's dead. I'm still not sure he's not one of the 5 models we don't know about. Maybe there weren't very many of those ones made. Maybe they were 'never quite right', like Sharon. Remember that episode when the Cylons were talking about Sharon and Helo and they were saying they didn't entirely trust her? It amuses me that Baltar doesn't keep his mind on Six when they're having sex. That's what she told him: "I know you think about other things - numbers and charts." So has he realised that he only loves HeadSix and not CapricaSix? Starbuck is back as a pilot, so I guess that except for being divorced, she's back to normal.

20. "I agree" |
I can't believe how many people on the internet are talking about how sending the virus would have "taken a piece of the humans' souls" or how if they did it, it would prove that they weren't "worthy of surviving" (flashing back to Adama's speach in the miniseries). If someone tries to kill my children, I'm going to kill him first. This is the same thing on a larger scale.I have to say, I was really disappointed with the past 3 episodes (Torn, A Measure of Salvation, and Hero). There were some HUGE continuity gaps in Hero. Moore wasn't as involved in the post production work on Torn/Salvation, so maybe that explains some of the problems there. I haven't heard the podcast for Hero yet, so I'm not sure what happened, but whatever it was, it was bad. The good news is, Unfinished Business, which will air the week after Thanksgiving, looks to be absolutely AWESOME. We get some of the back story regarding what happened during the lost year plus we deal with some of the loose ends from the beginning of this season (Starbuck & Anders were in the extended trailer on SciFi.com). No new episode the week of Thanksgiving!

21. "Un-frakking-believable!" |
Scoop! Battlestar Galactica on the Move!
A Sci Fi Channel rep is now confirming what I've been hinting at for weeks: Battlestar Galactica is saying "Frak you!" to Friday.The galaxy's best space epic ever is heading to Sundays at 10 pm <EST> beginning Jan. 21, when the show returns with the second half of Season 3. 'Battlestar Galactica' moves to Sundays WARNING: THIS LINK CONTAINS IMAGES FROM Unfinished Business WHICH HAS NOT YET AIRED.
"Battlestar Galactica" will move to Sundays starting Jan. 21, Sci Fi confirmed Monday. In the Central time zone, the show will air at 9 p.m. The new time and day will kick off the second half of "Battlestar's" critically acclaimed third season... ...No new episode of "Battlestar" airs this Friday, Nov. 24. But new episodes of "Battlestar" will air Dec. 1, Dec. 8 (that's the episode written by Jane Espenson) and Dec. 15, then the series will take one-month break until Jan. 21. Watch this space later in the week for more on on the Dec. 1 episode, "Unfinished Business," by Michael Taylor. It's powerful and heartbreaking. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is too stupid to be unintentional. Their ratings were so good last spring when the put SG1, Atlantis and BSG together, and now they seem determined to keep them separate. I half wonder if they're not deliberately trying to keep SG1's ratings "low" to justify its cancellation earlier this year. Whatever the reason, it seems like a really dumb move.

25. "RE: 12/1: Unfinished Business" |
A little late getting my tape, so I've just watched this ep last night. Good stuff. I had wondered why during the Season 2 finale, Kara and Lee had ended up marrying other people. Now I know. I liked the end, actually, where they beat the snot out of each other and then ended up admitting how much they had missed each other. I feel badly for Anders. Perfectly nice guy. No news on Baltar for a while. I'm going to watch the next ep tonight. Then I will be all caught up.
Anders' name always reminds me of a German short story I read once. The last line was: Er was so...anders. He was so...different.

24. "12/15: Eye of Jupiter" |
1) "Previously, on BSG, a bunch of stuff happened that we'd not actually seen the footage of." Some of those unseen scenes would have added actual content to those previous episodes. :-P2) I liked the church bells-y music that played when he was getting the urge to walk up the hill. Also, the t-shirt tank set that looks so amazingly hot on Starbuck does absolutely N-O-T-H-I-N-G for the Chief. 3) The Starbuckcrossed/Lee is so incredibly frakked up! Wow. And, how can she not know that Lee would have a problem with having an affair? Anders may have been lying about Kara cheating on him (or not), but it definitely got Lee thinking about how loyal she'd be to him. 4) Caprica!Six was ready to let Baltar die a few short episodes ago, and now she's all betrayed because she's not the most important thing in his life. STFU, whiny!Six. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss head!Six! (I fast forwarded through most of the head!Six scenes during the second half of S1.) 5) The hybrid was so talking to Baltar when she said only the worthy could enter. 6) I think I felt sorry for Baltar last night for the first time since... ever. 7) Chief, I'm sure if you continue stand there and stare at the exact same spot on the same damned pillar for the next 3 hours, it will be much more effective than it was the first 3 hours you did it. 8) Poor Hera is sick and wants her mommy! 9) Papadama didn't know about Hera. I'm glad he went straight to Sharon/Helo, but "you should be grateful" is just the assholiest thing he could possibly say. 10) I hate cliffhangers, but at lest there are only five weeks to wait. Stargate is taking a Six. Month. Break. 11) The previews for next episode look really good. I thought for sure Kara was gonna get picked up by the Cylons.

Anders may have been lying about Kara cheating on him (or not), but it definitely got Lee thinking about how loyal she'd be to him.I'm sure she did cheat on Anders. Whenever she has some difficult emotional situation to deal with, she sleeps with someone. For example, she slept with Baltar. She called out Lee's name, but she was having sex with Baltar. I forget what her problem was at the time. Maybe she was freaked out that she felt strongly for Lee. Like in the last ep, where she and Lee slept together and she said she loved him and then went and married Anders the next morning. ***** Speaking of Baltar, I had wondered how he survived the explosion on Caprica with only Six to shield him. I thought he might be a Cylon. The Hybrid weirds me out. It's the eyes. I wonder if they're going to try to get Hera back. Or maybe just *how* they're going to get her back. I don't like cliffhangers either.

28. "S2 - EP: Downloaded question" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-08-07 AT 11:13 AM (EST)Ok...I was catching up on my Season 2 shows and just saw "Downloaded". The Six that was with Baltar can see Baltar just like Baltar see her. What the Frak! Why has this not been shown in S3 or explained more. I'm convinced more and more that Baltar is a Cylon now...Plus it seems like both of these ghost can't communicate back to the real person. I'm really wondering what the Frak is going on. Plus what happen to the two hero's? I don't remember any word of them since this episode? Edit: I think some of my questions maybe coming up: Preview No. 2 gives a hint of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-HIjO-6aL4

32. "1/21: Rapture" |
It's baaa-aaaack.So, the overall episode was fantastic! There were a number of gleeful moments, which I shall squee over in a moment. However, there were also a couple of horribly bad acting moments. One of which came from James Callis, which is just.... WTFrak!? (The scene where he's standing on the cliff looking down on the temple with D'Anna.) The other one that really stands out was Grace Park in her last scene. 1. OOOoooo. Dee was Not. Happy. about getting sent to rescue Kara. I like spunky Dee.
2. I loved the suddenness of Helo killing Athena. I mean, I knew it was coming, but not when or how, and then BANG! she was dead.
3. Others disagree, but I liked Helo calling Roslin on the whole kidnapping thing. I liked that Adama didn't step between them to stop it, too.
4. Caprica stops Boomer from snapping a baby's neck. Yeah.
5. Lee & Anders fighting together, and Lee saying good things about Anders, and Anders at least sort of respecting Lee as a military leader... Nice.
6. I honestly thought Tyrol was going to be the last one out of the temple and blow himself up there for a bit.
7. Dee slapped Kara! I love Kara, but she so had that coming, and I'm glad Dee got to do it!
8. Added: Which reminds me. The guys standing around analyzing the "Eye" didn't seem too sure. I'm gonna predict that they decide to go one way, Starbuck realizes they're wrong and goes another way, and that's her big trip/disappearance.
9. We don't get to see ANY of the Final Five?????? Not. Fair. (See below.)
10. The cut from "rescue everyone!" to "everyone rescued!" was too abrupt. Very confusing and almost anti climatic.
11. Lee needs to get his ##### kicked again, already. The affair, yeah, yeah, Starbuck Crossed Lovers, I get that. But making eyes at Kara while she's hugging Sam and he's hugging Dee is just... Dee, slap him already. OTOH, it almost seems like he wants *her* to be the one to dump him, rather than the other way around. Gah!
12. I love, love, love the scene with Helo and Kara and the two Eyes! OK, we were told that one of The Five was someone D'Anna knew and felt like she had wronged. Lucy was in the following episodes: Final Cut, Downloaded, Occupation, Precipice, Exodus 1 & 2, Collaborators, Torn, A Measure of Salvation, Hero, The Passage, and The Eye of Jupiter. Let the speculation begin! At this point, simply based on the previous interactions we've seen, it seems like it would be Tigh (unlikely for other reasons), Anders, The Oracle (would anyone really care about her?), Cottle, or Novacek/Bulldog. Of course, the other thing is, it could be someone she did serious damage to that we didn't see. It could be someone that only makes sense when we get more context (e.g., via flashback sequence). In which case, there's no real way to narrow it down, because we're missing key information. If we only consider characters shown in the commercial where they said, "One will realize they are a Cylon," that limits us to: Adama, Apollo, Baltar, Dualla, Gaeta, Helo, Roslin, or Starbuck. However, having seen how previews play out sometimes, I'd say that doesn't necessarily mean that one of THOSE people is the one. If it's an interaction we haven't actually seen on the screen, then it could be anyone who was trapped on New Caprica or anyone who was on old Caprica after the invasion or anyone who has spent time on a Basestar or who knew D'Anna before it was revealed she was a Cylon. Finally, there's the possibility that the apology was a red herring. She could have been apologizing to someone who was wronged by the other Cylons, or to Baltar, or to god for failing or for trying or for her role in the genocide. If that's the case, then all my speculation really is for nothing.

BSG: The Woman King
As of last weekend, we no longer have cable, so I had to wait for this ep to come out on iTunes. Unfortunately, Hubby didn't want to watch it on the small screen, so I lost my viewing buddy. So much for BSG being the only show that he watched with me. Also, it ran like butt on iTunes!Random thoughts: - They couldn't call the show Mrs. King, because there was no Scarecrow.
- Still not impressed with the current string of episodes, and unfortunately, a lot of that comes down to production. WTF? This show *can* be awesome, why isn't it?
- Cut to Saggitarons smudging the room.
- Cut to Mrs. King looking angsty.
- Cut to Helo looking angsty.
- Repeat every 3-5 minutes for the entire frelling show.
- I am also really, really, REALLY tired of Tigh's whining. "Whah, whah. Look at how much I sacrificed. Look how easy you had it." Shut the frak up, Tigh. You chose to go live on New Caprica, and you got your @$$ kicked for it. Helo still has two eyes, because he chose to stay on the frakking ship where he took over your frakking job. His wife's still alive, because she wasn't feeding information to the bad guys. I know you're jealous, but get over it already. Or at least stop blaming everyone else. You were trying to drink yourself to death for a while there; could you get back on that, please?
- Is it Dr. Roberts or Dr. Robert
s? Because I heard both.
- My favorite scene in the whole show was the one with Helo & Athena, Lee, Starbuck, and Racetrack all walking down the hall together. This show officially needs More Teamy Goodness.
- Although, more skin works well, also.
- "If you notice something suspicious, whatever you do, don't bring it up in a private meeting with only the senior staff present." That was the most discrete way to handle it! WTF was he supposed to do?
- Head!Gaius yay! Wonder if anyone will realize that both Six and Baltar are talking to and interacting with "no one".
- I'm starting to think maybe the writers need some marital counseling of their own. Projecting much?
So obviously not my favorite episode ever. BSG: A Day in the Life
- Previously on Battlestar Galactica... Wait, that can't be it; we've seen all that before.
- I thought that was Ellen in Adama's bed at first.
- Meh to Head!Wife. Unless RDM has A Plan, using it as a device in this episode cheapens it for Baltar/Six.
- Gaeta & Dee squee! I love the two of them together, and that scene was awesome. (This is the deleted scene on SciFi.com.)
- Outer space. Limited food. BREASFEED, ALREADY.
- Cute hat on the baby.
- I actually like that Cally wants to parent her child. Too many shows treat babies like accessories.
- Year. Old. Lunch. Ha!!!!
- Roslin: *giggle*
- It's a patch. Shouldn't it, you know, be strong enough to patch a tiny hole?
- Hotdog & Helo: HA!!!
- Snarky!Starbuck is back! YAY!
- Starbuck snarking at Lee is back! YAY!!!! I like UST as much as the next person, but the snark is my favoritest thing ever.
- Cocky!Starbuck is also awesome.
- Starbuck, Apollo and Athena working together. Too bad it wasn't Helo as copilot. I love, love, love Teamy Goodness!
- I thought for a second that Cally was giving Nicky to the Admiral. LOL
- So, mommy dearest was more of a Mommy Dearest. And, Adama doesn't want to hear it.
- Great idea! Hand the baby to the man who is having a hard time standing.
- Seelix totally checked out Tirol's @$$ in the hospital gown! Gah.
- The red dress stands out in his mind. *snerk*
- Roslin got "silly". *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*
Overall, thumbs up. It didn't have that "thrown together at the last minute" "what the hell are we doing here?" feel that the past couple of episodes have had. The "character development" would be better received if it were scattered throughout the season instead of clumped in the middle, but the episode itself worked. I wanted to hear RDM's podcast, but he didn't do one for this ep. I want reassurance that they really are getting back on track.

I'm with you, Hobbs. It seems like they've stalled a bit. However, next week is looking up. From the SciFi site: Baltar's trial leads to vicious betrayals and new alliances...but who are the final five Cylons? Find out Sunday in the shocking season finale! Some (mostly frivolous) thoughts on Crossroads, Part 1: - HeadBaltar doesn't have facial hair. RealBaltar does. - I think the eerie music can only be heard by a guy with a dead wife. - Tigh is such a basketcase. - I love the Irish lawyer's accent. - Neither Adama should be anywhere near this trial. How many different conflicts of interest are there in total? - How many times is Lee going to rebel against his father? At least he didn't hold a gun to anyone's head this time. - I, too, would like to know what is up with the aide, Tori.

43. "To be fair..." |
The long break is due to the network, not the producers. Still totally WRONG.RDM (producer) says that Chief, Tigh, Anders & Tori really are Cylons. See: Yes, they are. Ron Moore clears up BSG's season finale. I was positively giddy for Starbuck's return! I hadn't read any spoilers, and I was thinking it would be several episodes into next season before we saw her again, but as soon as he saw the blip, I started to hope. I actually caught myself leaning forward and tipping my head, trying to get a glimpse of her through the window of his Viper, before she was actually visible on screen. LOL

44. "Also..." |
LOVED the atty's and Lee's reactions to Baltar after the trial was over. Baltar actually thought they sort of liked him. HA!Bill & Roslin are sweet, but she's dying, and that makes it sad. Cally's gonna be PI$$ED about marrying a Cylon. And Athena had so better rub her nose in it. I love James Callis, but I really wish Baltar would get himself killed already. I kinda liked him when he was with the Cylons, but now he's back to his old tricks, and ugh! Die! I'm thrilled, thrilled, thrilled that Starbuck is back. She better be BACK-back, too. No Angel!Buck, thank you. I want the wonderful, snarky smart@$$ we know and love!

Cally's gonna be PI$$ED about marrying a Cylon. And Athena had so better rub her nose in it.Which makes their baby a half-Cylon too. As for the 4/5 final Cylons, there's got to be something odd about them, like that they went to Earth or something, since I don't think that Watchtower is a popular Caprican tune.
