That's going to be one heck of a long wait, although it saddens me to see the course that Tigh is on. The old Athena though was a real cutie.

In the new BSG book "The Cylons' Secret" we learn that the cylons were heavily used for colonial warships. The biggest of the bunch, dreadnoughts were run by cylons with a handful of human 'overseers' on board. The colonials weren't totally stupid and put safeguards in place that required the presence of humans to run most ship functions. The cylons couldn't get around that...so they chopped off the parts of humans they didn't need and used the rest of the body parts to keep the ship functioning. This included the 'brain' and other parts like fingers/hands.

Yikes! Well moving back to the last episode, it will be interesting to see how Baltar riggles out of the fact he lied about seeing nothing out of the ordinary when 6 can see the old style beacon there on the deck from Baltars camera, or was it a recorder. I don't recall if it was from the snapshots he took. I really didn't expect to see a flash camera in use from a society that has FTL drive. Did he record any evidence that he killed the dying 6, even though she originally asked him to.

Is God the god of humans and cylons? Was god behind putting the beacon there to protect the 13th tribe from cylons? Considering how long ago that tribe would have gone to earth, those humans wouldn't have known about cylons and put a beacon with a cylon killer plague on it. Maybe Baltar using Hera will cure the cylons?

Hmm.

This week I think they solved things a little too cleanly.

Athena just happens to have the human gene? geez.
Helo can pull the one plug on the ship that just happens to kill everyone in the brig? No alert, no nothin? geez.
They still got the virus, but there is no plan to put it in the freezer and try again? geez

Kind of reminded me a few episodes back when they were executing war criminals. At the end they just cut to a scene out of the blue where they told Jarek to cut it out. All taken care of.

I enjoyed the episodes much better where they didnt cleanly wrap up the plot in the last 10 minutes.

Just my take.

It sounds like a fairly commom virus, carried by rodents and common enough for humans to have developed immunity. I would think that some of the Cylons who infiltrated human society would have caught the disease before the encounter with the beacon.

Your right on with it rapping up to fast and clean. A little star trek TNG creeping in?

I'm really surprised and confused that they would bring back the boarding party and put them in quarantine, but not the beacon. It's not like the beacon would have been found to work perfect and show's over kind of thing......

I laughed at it pretty good. My wife thinks it's cute. I would have the led set to red.

DON'T BUY THOSE CUTE SANTA ROBOTS! The Cylons have secretly arrived at Earth and are planning their takeover. Once everyone has one of these on their desktops, they'll receive an upgrade from Cylon Command and kill the humans at the desk!

Snap out of fantasy land and face reality!

This is Punishers evil doing!

Just finished watching tonight's ep.

I have nothing at all to say, except that that was the best episode of the entire SERIES.

Villa64 · « **Reply #91 on:** November 17, 2006, 09:52:11 pm »

100% better than what they have fed us lately.

Turns out that you can make a good episode about just people.

"Sit down, Bill."

Roslyn's handling of Adama at the end reminded me very much of why I just love the dynamics between the two of them. This was definitely one of the better episodes of the series and reminded me of just how great the show can be without having the Galactica jump into a planet's atmosphere. I also really liked how Saul Tigh picked himself up a bit, but at the same time didn't 'reform' the way Starbuck did (again different characterse, different reactions to the same situation). Now I just want to know how the two of them became so frakking close over the last year...(story elapsed time).

Now, according to the books that have been published so far, Adama was the X.O. of Galactica (Tight was the CAG) about twenty years before the Cylon attack. In one of the books, he's about to be promoted to command the Galactica after the Admiral currently in command retires. So, from his time in command of Galactica, he did well enough to get promoted to the command of a new Battlestar, the Valkyrie. After the flubbed espionage mission, he gets the Galactica again to oversee her decommissioning and then is expected to retire...nice symmetry there...I like it a lot.

I expect to see Bulldog again as well...

Villa64 · « **Reply #93 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:00:58 pm »

I kinda felt like the story was that bulldog was hook, but the story about bulldog really was about Tigh. Bulldog seemed a little one-dimensional to me.

But thats what I liked about the episode. Rather than it being the typical "I am a human robot come to do you harm as a trojan horse", it was about what the "human robot" had in common with Tigh, and a character developer for him. It was a surprise, and I liked it alot, the more I think about it.

Oh yeah, that and seeing Xena naked.

For a moment, just a split second of reality...I felt jealous when I saw the scene of Balta in bed with two models of Cylons.

I was schocked at felling jealous...but then I realized I was jealous because I haven't managed to get into Leoben's bed yet, and there isn't another male model of cylon that I'd want in my bed...so I realized I was jealous of Balta having so many female models to choose from...

Hmmm.. and after having sex with Baltar, Xena's reaction is ordering a centurion to shoot her in the head.

Probably a lesson to learn in there somewhere.

Maybe she'l go back to dreaming about Gabrielle....

Toast · « **Reply #97 on:** November 19, 2006, 09:14:27 pm »

The Valkyrie was an interesting looking ship makes me wonder were she fell into the colonial fleet fold compared to the Pegasus and Galactica.

FPF-Tobin Dax · « **Reply #98 on:** November 19, 2006, 09:28:45 pm »

I got the impression it was top of the line at the time and that's why command of her came along with the mission.
