Battlestar Galactica/Caprica (Potential Spoilers)

[Hemish]

Man episode 3 was awesome, but it finished in such a way, man I cant wait for another 7 days to find out what happens.
Not fair, BSG should be on twice a week.

Don't the previews stink? They're giving away too much. I mean come on, after all the time they spend on Adama ordering Lee to look for Earth and not rescue the people on New Caprica, the first line in the preview - "Two Battlestars have just jumped into orbit."

[Phrubruh]

There is a pretty good Battlestar Galactica podcast out there that discusses all of these things per episode.

The Combat Information Center

Basically, I can't stand how Starbuck went soft regarding her "child". She should have killed it as soon as she saw it. I don't think its really her's. Besides, this completely destroys the whole idea of Sharon's baby being the shape of things to come. Now the Cylons can create hybrids any old time they want.

They need to just get back into space and get back to looking for earth.

I kind of feel the same way. They're making out Sharon's Baby to be the first, but Starbucks is older (I think.) I wouldn't have been surprised if she had killed the kid as well, but it is half human (if it's even a hybred) and I don't know if she's that cold blooded.

[Phrubruh]

Maybe its just a way to mess with Starbuck's mind. Besides, Lucy Lawless is  is still looking for Sharon's baby so it must still be important.

I don't think that "Starbuck's baby" is actually part cylon.  Remember what Adama said about that model always lying.  I think the child may be from Starbuck's missing ovary, but they inseminated it with another human.

That could be or the opposite could be true and she is in fact 100% cylon, and is either a new model, or one of the models we haven't seen yet. There are 12 models and if my count is correct we only know who 7 of them are, there's Number Six, Sharon, Doral, Brother Cavil, Simon, Leoben, and D'Anna Biers. For all we know Leoben is just frackin (had to say it) with Kara, and is using the child to break her.

Kind of a bummer that I'll be in Maine this Friday at my sister's rehearsal dinner and unable to see the episode.

Thank God for Tivo!

I also am not convinced that the preview is showing the Galactica and Pegasus jumping into New Caprica space.  It could be a spoofing technique used by Adama to make the Cylons think there are two battlestars in the fight instead of just the Galactica.

Of course I still think Lee will Jump the Pegasus in to save the day.

[Darth_Anton]

Matt, either way, you're right because I can't see Pegasus not jumping in to save the day.

[Hemish]

And when Lee pops in with Pegasus it gives him the drive again and he becomes buff and looses the fat suit.

I just finished s2 on dvd and missed the 1st episode of s3. I hope it airs again soon.

That's irksome that they split the season in 2. I only got half way into Season 2 myself. But I'm kind of catching up.

I agree with the Starbuck mom thing. But I don't think she's gone soft. I think (hopefully) she's acting so that Leoben thinks she's his.
Not sure why most Cylons are thinking they've got to get with humans, though. If they can bear human-human Cylons, then why can't they produce two humanoid Cylons. Why the fixation. Somethings up with the Cylons we don't know about.

[speedermike]

My take is that the cylons truly want to be loved.  Simple, but it's at the core of what makes us human....anyway...that episode knocked the frakin' socks off my ass.  I hope Lucas is paying attention to this show. This is how SW TV could be succesful.  I loved how there were three suspence heavy episodes leading up to one all-fight episode.  Too cool.

[Straxus]

I was very pleased with the episode. I will not post anything that will ruin the episode for anyone who had not seen it yet, but I will say Adama's battle plan was extremely impressive. What he did ranked definitely in the top ten coolest maneuvers I have ever seen done with a starship in any sci-fi show...

[Darth_Anton]

Pleased? Last nights episode rocked! Aside from the fact that in one minute's worth of screen time the BG FX team put to shame two entire movies worth of visual FX from the last two SW movies, the show proved once again that it has the guts to do the unthinkable.
