and that's not even a threat.

it's a friendly warning.

The Clintons suck ass, always have always will.

I lost any respect I may ever hve had for McDonald.

The once proud male Bill Adama has been slowly sexchanged into a weeping slobbering woman this season.

Fuck Sol cap his ass before the get to the peepee snipping.

It doesn't make any sense.

Cheers!

Here's what I don't understand: what about the Cylon homeworld? Shouldn't there be a resurrection facility there independent of the fleet resurrection facilities? And what are the Cylons actually doing now? It seems like they're as adrift as the colonial fleet. Why? Have they abandoned their homeworld? What is up with them?

It's compared to Star Trek because it's had the same 'impact' (though not in terms of magnitude cuz ST was prime time) today as Star Trek had back when the original series was airing and especially TNG when they tried to tackly the heady political issues of the day.

A Battlestar is also more like an aircraft carrier than the Enterprise so the whole angle with the pilots brings in a Top Gun feel to it (Star Wars-esque there), which you could not imagine on Star Trek.

Oh, and we know the final Cylon is Gaeta. That's been obvious since Season One.

Not sure if RDM is going in that direction, but it sure looks possible and would be a remarkable development IMHO!

Thanks for the updat on the movies too. As I was reading I kept wondering about them, but of course you addressed it at the end.

However - clever guy that Ron Moore is - with his mention that only one movie is likely (as opposed to the reported three), it looks like he might be using your article to assist in the negotiations with the network. ;-)

But I am worried that it does....

Just the Herc-age above had me grippin the chair with my butt cheeks--tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Start Carbo Loading now, so you will have sustainable energy! (Whole grain pasta, bagels, pancakes----okay: PIZZA!)

At this point, the 5th Cylon is meaningless to me. Yes, he or she may have info for getting to Earth, but in terms of character reaction, we've pretty much seen it already from the Final Four of Five.

...unless the Final Fifth knew it all along

the galaxy is in a pendant formerly worn by a cat (the lawyer's cat?), but is now on a chain and dangling from Linda Fiorentino's neck.....

Linda Fiorentino..... (sigh)

It is also possible, but not likely in my judgement, that NatalieSix is actually the dying leader who points them to earth--she pointed them in the direction of the Final Five, said they were in the fleet, knew the way to earth, and offered cooperation in finding them via unboxing D'Anna. If Natalie is the prophesied dying leader, then Roslin could be off the hook.

I do recall the phrase "dying leader" popping up all the time throughout the series--dying does not necessarily mean dead: did they quote a Pythia verse that specifically said the leader dies and does not make it to earth, does anyone recall?

I suspect the Who part may be that the Fifth has been appearing freely as many different (InHeads, NotLeoben, others) or "occupying/inspiring" others as needed. As the Watchtower music may have been "projected" into the minds of the Four, almost anything could be projected. Six made a point of explaining to Baltar that Cylons project the "reality" that suits them individually, and they showed them standing in a corridor, but she was out in the forest... Projection has definitely been established within the rules of the show.

I think it is also worth remember a scripture quote from the Jupiter episode (that was repeated at least TWICE within that episode): The Five Serve The One....

And the priestess spent a fair amount of time getting Roslin to open herself to Love last week.

InHead Six kept telling Baltar about God's Love, and now Baltar is telling everyone else (even Centurions! :-) Much of the Cylon motivation seems to be around feeling Love.

I guess Love will be the theme of the whole show. Gotta keep that in mind as we go forward....

Just in case, be prepared to take action once again!

Of course, the masses love to build something up, just to tear it down once it becomes popular, hence all the "...sucks" posts in the BSG threads. It the quality suffered at all in my mind, it was probably related to the writer's strike throwing things slightly out-of-whack, coupled with my own by-that-time, ridiculous expectations. Ad to that, the long painful gaps SciFi forces us to suffer through, and people get disgruntled. I for one still find it the best thing currently on TV, and One of the best things Ever aired.

Can you boys believe it's the "mid-season" break already?

Good one, Chromie.

Extending it further: the Final Five Cylons were created on Earth/Cylon homeworld, but the others weren't, thus the Five know the way to Earth AND serve the one (i.e. Dirklon). The Four simply don't know that the Cylon Homeworld is Earth, but the Final Fifth is the one who DOES know it.

Taken to the extreme, it would also be a world where those who not embrace love are EXILED until they change their wicked ways.

As for knowing about NatalieSix, I am not sure I agree that, since it was before the hub went all splodey, it was just normal information. They had explained that the Hub coordinated all the Resurrection Ships, and it seemed clear from earlier eps that the local "ship" had been destroyed, and they were, in that area, too far from any other ship to download. Plus, it seemed like NatalieSix's death was taking her Somewhere Else. So, it may just be that the Hybrid noticed that Natalie was Just Gone.

However, with the Hub's coordinates closely guarded, and moving all the time, and so MANY jumps away, for the Hybrid to have Instant knowledge of D'Anna's status was interesting, I thought.

There is more to the Hybrids than meets the eye, so say I....

But hey, I'm certain that alot of TBers would not have thought about it had you not mentioned it.

and chow down on some sweet tasty ribs

if they had a Sharon/Boomer/Athena/Eight version of Know Your Cylons, I would paper the walls with em!

ri ght now!

When I used to watch Trek, I knew it was gonna suck, but I would hope against hope that maybe just maybe it would be good - or at least ok...

and it sucked

and so far season 3 and 4 have had exactly ONE good episode each.

and here's this review telling me "it's not gonna suck" and I'll watch - hoping against hope...

I'm just sayin, is all....

Because last I saw, you were the one actually looking for a job, remember? Don't throw your insecurities on me because you'd rather post one-liners on AICN all day than be a productive member of society.

Don't mean to sound cruel but, seriously, get with the program.

Quote: "follow people around in every thread"

Bullshit. Look at my screenname...I'm in a BSG thread. Where else would I be?!

Quote: "never comment on the actual topic"

Bullshit again. You should READING some of my posts in the various threads on this site. I know you have the time for it.

Batman_Cape - sorry to wind you up, fella. I didn't realize it was so easy.

Well, this TB is going on blackout until I see the mid-season finale episode. I hope it's every bit as good as Herc claims. Until then, gentlemen. So Say We All.

It's pretty tough to get banned on AICN. So, whatever you did, that's your problem - not mine.

Do carry on.

Poor, poor Joss

It opened up a can of worms because, you know, it's a 'modern' (relatively speaking) Earth song. But TPTB said that it's not a clue about the time relationship to Earth.

MY GEEK FU IS STRONG!

See ya after the finale tonight.

The last cylon is NOT with the fleet?

By the way, much apologies for those who wish to remain unspoiled. Not going to happen in this talkback.

;)

And the music was phenomenal.

As for the content ... well ... let's put those in different posts

However, I am beginning to wonder a few things. 1) If I did hear correctly, the final cylon is not with the fleet. If this is the case, it is on Earth. Or is it?

More importantly, what are they going to do for the other episodes? Other than make a new home and find the final Cylon.

I am rambling.

I'm honestly not sure what they're going to do moving forward. I'm stunned they found Earth so soon this season.

But let's see how Earth looks now: Pretty bad. And it may have been pretty bad for awhile. So how does this sound:

The Pythia and all the markers were created by someone(s) fleeing Earth before or during or maybe even after the devastation. They wanted the colonists to find their way to Earth because ... because why?

All this has happened before and will happen again ... the Cylons were originally created on Earth, maybe, and uh ... damn. I'm not seeing it. I think I'm going to need more than 10 minutes.

You sure this isn't Young and the Restless? There certainly seems to be a lot of "swapping" going on.
