Besides, think of all the flex room it gives the writers.

Putting Apollo as commander of the Pegusus is a good hint that she might be around for a while...

well the good jay says it is good to have the Pegasus around.  the "bucket" and the "beast".  father and son together til the end fighting the good fight.

now the bad jay :flame:says baltar will win the presidency and transfer his flag to the Pegasus.  leaving Roslyn the colonial one.  the Pegasus will be taken over by the replica of Caprica six and the cylon peacenik bastards using the nuke baltar gave them.  they will flee back to the planet that was found by the lost raptor and establish a colony only to be wiped out by an enemy that make the cylons look like girlscouts.

Well...

....that wasn't at all what I was expecting.

Which is, of course, one of the biggest reasons I love that show. ;D

"I TOLD YOU I'M NOT A CYLON!! Oh.... well then.... ok..."

:rofl:

Just a bit perplexed over the whole 'we have made a mistake thing'....

Then one year later... we have the start of a Nazi Concentration camp....

Should be interesting to see where it goes from here....

What will become of Adama and the cowardice (?) of running without even putting up a fight?

he did the smart thing.  it would have been suicide to fight and that was what the cylons wanted.  both ships down to skelcrews?
the civilians got what they deserved they wanted to stay when the they should have tightened their belts and kept their boots on.

it used to be said that we, as humans, are at are best when times are at their worst.   that is a bold face lie.  one thing that i have been impressed with BSG is that these guys show true human quality.  noone is "perfect" and only some, really just a few, truly do their best to help others and look out for the common good.

I suspect that a show or two into the new season this will turn out to be Baltar dreaming, too much of it doesn't make sense.   :-\

At the end of the episode, was the teaser for next season:

"We are going to take care of the humans now".

And Starbucks comment:

"We are going to fight them until we cant"

I think next season will be more commentary on the state of events in Iraq today, where the good guy human insurgents are attacking the evil cylon occupiers, who are just trying to fix what they broke.

On the whole, I didnt really like the episde.  I thought it was a little boring.  And also thought that they pretty much resolved the EPISODE, but set up the whole next season.

Didnt really care for the Atlantis cliffhanger either.

The Stargate cliffhanger had some neat elements:
- I liked the future version of "Ensign Gay" watching the big battle from her space suit.  Did that at the beginning of the season of galactica, and thought it was neat then.
- I liked the clue searching they were doing with Merlins library, but then it got cut off into the predictable hopeless space battle.

I am kind of bummed that I was disappointed with all three.

Oh yeah... Stockwells character was great.  The quote when he got caught... right on.

It may already have done so, after the last 20 minutes of Friday's episode I fear it will become Galactica 2006.   :(

Words cannot describe how disappointed I am in Galactica's writers.

It's like, ok, they torched the fleet.
Then realized they couldn't get themselves out of it legitmately, so they skipped a year in between. Yeah, nice work guys.
SOOO mad.
