Mark Verheiden's comic work suggested to me that he was a bad writer; his BG work confirmed it.

Again, I've heard how much better BSG is than other sci-fi series, with the real tension and urgency of war. But it still looks like a video game to me. Hardly Saving Private Ryan, is it? So far, so unmoved, then.

GUH...it's set in space you clown so of course it will look like a video game (and why is that a problem these days?)

Wow, too many threads on the front page... time to bump another one!

Thumbs up for evil Cylon awakening! Who else felt like Cally really had it coming since the beginning?

man tory was COLD

Plan, schman. is the Stockwell not right, resurrecting the D'anna line and her/their messianic obsessions would be re-opening a whole can of Wormz, and that unlobotomized Raiders will be "more than you bargained for"? (Not that the faction Six speaks for will get a chance to see for themselves, if Stockwell wipes them out and their resurrection ship too.) And does Cally's death at that moment not almost seem like a mercy killing--I mean, look at her! Are we not seeing, more and more,thourgh Cylon eyes? Who is the Admiral sitting with at the very end??

Yeah, the airlock was pretty much Cally's only option, sadly.

is the Stockwell not right, resurrecting the D'anna line and her/their messianic obsessions would be re-opening a whole can of Worm

i think he was lying

oh wait nm

should have read closer

Anyone else see a familar constellation in the background of that Cylon basestar battle?

wow i had to check that screen! is realz

28:26 into the ep

shame cally had to die after only just getting her best ever hairdo

that's Orion in the screengrab right?

Exactly - Orion's belt being the three stars that Starbuck sees near Earth.

So the Cylons are nearer to Earth than the fleet, I guess.

i was happy to see one of the nu-cylons actually doing something, it seems like all they've been up to is having stressed-out meetings

i like that now they're becoming more human. they've bitten the fruit from the tree.

I thought the episode was great. A fair bit happened at least. there will be hell of more stressed-out nu-clyon meetings in the next ep.

best episode of the season so far. which is surprising considering there was no Baltar.

what a great plan these cylons clearly do have

Baltar just weighs down episodes that aren't about him half the time.

i don't get why Helo and Gaeta are off on Starbuck's mission - thought they were key personnel. it's as if the writers have got nothing for them to do for a while.

i don't get why they're jumping around in that ship so often if jumping around is exactly what starbuck doesn't want to do. and i don't get why the temporary appropriation of a garbage scow is a hot-button political issue.

39,000 people left - how come still so many reporters?

i know, i was just thinking about that!

anything to get out of military service

Maybe they're all just bloggers.

seeing cylons blog is probably the logical next step for this show :/

"Orion's belt being the three stars"

d'oh! of course. i was going 'trinary system, eh? eh??'

i don't get why Helo and Gaeta are off on Starbuck's mission - thought they were key personnel. it's as if the writers have got nothing for them to do for a while.

Yeah, I think you nailed it. I mean, why else would they put on all those other pilots (like... uh... that chick who got promoted to pilot last season).

But complete fanwankery GO: Helo has been pretty good buds with Starbuck, though they don't get that much screentime together, it's been established. And Gaeta is still probably hated in the fleet anyway since most people saw him as a collaborator, and maybe Starbuck's trying to make up for that whole "whoopsy, almost killed you in that barely legal tribunal thing!" But also he has a ton of experience in navigation from being in the CIC.

39,000 people left - how come still so many reporters?

Halfway through the first season on DVD and wondering the same thing. There's no sign of a visual media or newspapers and 48k people, why is the Presidential Press Corps rolling 20 deep?

I think it gets explained in the first season actually. Weren't a whole bunch of reporters on Galactica for the de-commissioning? They never explain the whole medium (or how any sort of economy works in general), but I would presume that the weekly newsletter's get more important once the human race is down to 40K.

Yes, but each of them must report to unique news sources, right?

sam's there cuz he luv starbuck, gaeta's there cuz good w/ navigation (bit u+k), helo's there cuz he always gets sent on these shit jobs, sharon's there cuz helo, seelix (her?) rounds it out, possible cannon fodder.

Sam also there because of cylon-ness obv.

Wish Seelix still had her long hair.
