Battlestar Galactica

[Reply #160 on:]

I really need to stop forgetting that Galactica is on Sundays at 9.  That's 2 in a row I've missed now.

Does the teaser thing give any hint if it's the frackin Baltar trial episode? They are really putting that off for too long, maybe keeping it for the season finale?

The next episode does deal with Baltar, but I don't know if it's his trial.

I saw that apparently a "Mein Kampf"-esque paper he wrote while in captivity aboard Galactica has been gaining popularity amongst the crew and is starting mutiny.

Not the trial, but it looks VERY good...

Hey Nix, there's this invention called the VCR.  It's only been around for 25 years, so you may not have heard of it.  Look into it.

If you're more ambitious, try a TiVo.

Now if you really want to see them at this time, I have both episodes on my TiVo and I can burn them onto a DVD and mail them to you.

I'm one helluva guy.

Thanks Ralphy-poo, but my neighbor at work already offered and I think I may take him up on it.

Hee, "Ralphy-poo."  I kill me.

Finally remembered to watch Galactica!

Note to self: do not, under any circumstances, attempt to stare down (literally or figuratively) Admiral Adama.

[Reply #165 on:]

I particularily liked this episode. Hopefully a return to very good form that it's been slightly lacking the past half-season...

Notably for the lack of Baltar. Who, by the way, should speak in his Aralon accent more. Makes him sound more menacing...

Galen Tyrol, King of The Mole People! 

Nasty: Aerelon!
Study this, there will be a test afterwards!

HOLY FRACK.  HOLY MOTHERFRACKING FRACK.

[Reply #168 on:]

Just watched Maelstrom, that was one of the best episodes yet, not sure how Starbuck will return from that though.

[Reply #169 on:]

Perhaps you missed this link Tweek.

Destiny my ass!
That was crappy, I thought she'd do something cool at least, a fitting end or something... but that was just... she just kerploded? Waaaah!
What difference of a destiny was that to dying normally?!

Maybe she's one of the Final Five?

[Reply #171 on:]

Maybe, but reading that link again gives me conflicting messages: "depart the series" and "What we're doing with Kara Thrace is profound"

If that episode was the profound bit he means = FAIL, hopefully there'll be more.

[Reply #172 on:]

Yeah, seriously, that's the bit that threw me off while watching.

[Reply #173 on:]

I read that she wouldn't be in any more episodes this season on the IMDb boards, I guess she could return some time next season if she is either a Cylon or if she was captured by the cylons (seems unlikely).

Edit - The podcast to go with the show certainly implied that she wouldn't be back as they said she was dead.

[Reply #174 on:]

Damn...

That depressed me more than I thought it would... 

Hey, at least we have Baltar's trial to look forward to next week!! 

[Reply #175 on:]

Another thing confused me, was she grabbing the ejection seat handle? Why?
And did Apollo actually see another ship?

Cylon rescue/kidnapping?

nope - you can clearly see her helmet in the cockpit as her Viper disintegrates.

I was thinking the exact same thing, and upon inspection of the Tivo'd episode, there is a 5 second long shot taken from Apollo's wing when he's following Starbuck's Viper and you can quickly see the Cylon Heavy Raider dart in and out of the clouds in front of her ship.

So, I guess it was there...

Badger? Badger! BadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadge rBadgerBadger SAFFRON SAFFRON.

[Reply #179 on:]

Awesome episode, I didn't realise it was Badger at the time, the characters were so different.

[Reply #180 on:]

I didn't recognize him until he took off his sunglasses.

[Reply #181 on:]

Well spotted Nix, he even fooled me with his Irish "Colin Farrell" accent, his English one in Firefly actually sounds fake.

Lol, the first time you see Roslin looking at him, she looks like she's thinking "Dude, WHY are you wearing sunglasses?!" 

[Reply #182 on:]

Good, good episode.

Can't wait for next week's though.

[Reply #183 on:]

I just got around to catching up on the last two episodes.  It's been long enough that I'm not bothering with the spoiler tags.  Ditto what Faze said about Starbuck's exit.  The writers have done pretty damn good so far, so I have some faith that there will be more to that story.  I hope so, because to me, here destiny seemed to be "I'm going to go insane and commit suicide."  Not the kind of destiny I was thinking about.

[Reply #184 on:]

OMFGCLIFFHANGER!!!

Also, AWESOME episode.

[Reply #185 on:]

They don't normally use "To be continued," right?

[Reply #186 on:]

They use "To be continued" on the two part episodes, I just checked the end of Resurrection Ship, Part 1

[Reply #187 on:]

All kinds of weird things in that episode.
Saul: "What is the name of that song, ahh this'll drive me nuts!" 
Old Man Helo in a Random Horror Movie: "There's a storm comin'!!"
I don't get Lee's behaviour, that boy ain't right... 
Cancer!?! 

[Reply #188 on:]

I like how they've been portraying Admiral Adama and Roslin in the past few episodes as much more authoritarian and evil.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!!

GOD FRAKING DAMMIT!

It's going to be a long time until 2008.

[Reply #193 on:]

Best episode ever. Period.  Full stop.

Dear Nuggan, 2008 is going to be one hell of a year.

[Reply #194 on:]

Seriously...yeah, it was fraking amazing.

That is why this is the best show on television.

I mean...All along the Watchtower?

I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!

BOB DYLAN IS THE FINAL CYLON

[Reply #196 on:]

Lols, I'm so confused right now.

[Reply #197 on:]

Nixorbo's Grand Unified Galactica Theory

Show spoiler

The first Cylon War started when the Cylons developed their own humanoid models, having created their own humans.

Saul was one of the first humanoids created. He was a sleeper agent that was not able to complete his assignment, thus he never was discovered and his programming laid dormant. Also, the heavy drinking may have help serve to supress the programming. Because of this, his model was boxed and memory of him was wiped from Cylon memory.

Tyrol, Anders and Tori represent later-model humanoids. They disagreed with the second war against humanity, and before their line could be boxed, sent one from each of their number with their Cylon knowledge suppressed, to join the humans. Because of this all three lines were boxed and wiped from memory.

Biers was boxed, but memory of her was not wiped, since she did not help the humans, but rather went a little crazy.

The Athena/Boomer/Eight line was not boxed because Athena was an isolated defection, not an act condoned by the entire line.

Starbuck is the avatar of the goddess Aurora.

The final cylon *could* be Roslin, but I'm not willing to make that an official theory. I suppose Baltar hasn't been ruled out, but my gut says he's not.

[Reply #198 on:]

That last episode was indeed awesome, just a shame we have to wait till 2008 for series four to start, at least we'll have the BSP feature in the Autumn, that should be fun 

[Reply #199 on:]

My name is Saul Tigh, I am an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be.
