[Television] Battlestar Galactica

About Cally:

I totally called it as soon as the episode started. I'm not sure what it was... but she looked different. Did they have to replace her actress or something? Either way, that was sort of a big hint in the direction of where they were taking the episode. And loved it.

And Baltar...

The whole Baltar as a religious entity sort of irks me, but I'm sure they'll pull something off by the end of the season to make it completely legitimate. And good. Or something. I hope.

I'm not liking the religious aspect of this season... A little bit too overwhelming in my opinion.

Can't wait till they reveal the fifth one at last.

I'm really impressed, they actually manage to deliver a thoroughly coherent and very tense season so far.
Season IV is suffering from Babylon 5 syndrom. And by suffering I mean it's what brings the show back to it's old strenghts. Doesn't happen that often that a franchise truly recovers from a period of suck.

I'm really enjoying the religious aspect of this season as well as comming closer to revealing the 5 cylons. of course WE know who 4 are.. I've always thought baltar was one of them.

Also looking forward to finding out why 6 and baltar see each other when no one else can. The religious aspect combine with the other seasons suicide bombers sorta reminds me of the clash between peacefull and non peacefull religions, OR how some religions can seem peacefull but use it as a ruse to cause chaos, murder and such.. I'm not 100% sure where they are taking this but we shall see.


On a side note I wonder if any one has every argueed Boomer or Six..

i'm so happy this season is finally here. i can't believe it took so long. I remember sitting in awe of the season finale only to find out 2 hours later that my wife was pregnant with little pfitz3. what a night of shockers that was...

something has been sticking in my head ever since last weeks episode. When Athena was having the opera house vision towards the end that paralelled with alot of the events that were happening real time, does anyone think it strange or too coincidental that at the same time during the opera house vision where 6 picks up Hera and takes her away, Tyrol is the one to pick up Hera IRL.

It just seems like they are going to go somewhere with that little bit. Am I reading too much into it?

oh and it's been a long time, i almost forgot about this place, amazing what you can think of when you're up with a migrane at 3am

I think that part of the episode, she wasn't actually having the vision. I think they were just making a comparison, showing that what she saw was coming true. Or something. Maybe.

Um, so the mid-season finale was a couple weeks ago, and it was easily one of the best episodes in the history of man. A lot happened, and it all happened fairly quick, but it never felt rushed. The post-apocalyptic earth was probably the best choice of earth as to not be something too cheesy, and will of course move the plot along. So no BSG til 2009. =/

Oh, and they totally forgot that there's still one more unknown cylon.

I'm not entirely sure they 'forgot'. When D'Anna first spoke to Roslin after the big Hub battle, she said 'Four. Four are in the fleet.'

...Thinking that over, was she bullshitting Roslin, or was she saying the last Cylon is somewhere else? [ie Earth, with the Cylons, somewhere else?]

The final fifth cannot be in the fleet. As far as can tell, there really isn't anything special about the final fifth compared to the others of the final five. I don't see why D'anna would refrain from asking about the final fifth if he/she were in the fleet. The only logical explanation is that the final fifth is not in the fleet. Maybe D'anna does not even know who the final fifth is, as in he/she is not Colonial or crap.

The final fifth may be on Earth and may have used some funky device to trigger the music playing in the other final five within the colonial fleet and to activate the specific viper emergency beacon.
