Battlestar Galactica Episode Thread *SPOILERS*

[Darth Caedus]

We've seen Baltar get with Caprica Six, Head Six, Starbuck, Caprica Six & a Xena Cylon, one of the religious zealots (Lucy?), and now Tory. Since he seems to sleep with cylons, odds are good the last cylon is either Starbuck or the religious zealot.

Them being robots are not, the guy's my freaking hero......

Lee left the service to become a lawyer like his grandfather. Also, I don't think Baltar is a Cylon because don't the spinal cords of the skinjobs glow red when they get freaky? I know one of the Sharon's did, but I dont know if we ever saw Anders' back or anyone else's that are now confirmed to be Cylons, but we HAVE seen Baltars.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

ok thats what i thought, but don't remember it from last week. and yeah the backs should glow red, but they never showed sharon glowing at all, and with all the booty that baltar gets we would have seen it a long time ago.

But wasn't the only time we see a Sharon/Athen get freaky is when she's on Caprica? I don't really recall her freaky any time after that.

WOW! What a great series! I am old enough now...I'm 37...to remember the original BSG TV series of the late 1970s. Yeah, my biggest hang-up with this new one was Starbuck being a girl. But I've got over that. Now she's my favorite character!

Man, she's so FRAKKIN' cool! I hard flying, hard drinking, card playing Viper pilot.

I've been flying through watching the miniseries, season 1, season 2.0, 2.5 and season 3 in preparation for season 4. I really enjoy the incredible special effects, drama, action, superb writing and acting. Wow, I just can't say enough good things about this new Battlestar Galactica!

Now...I just hope my favorite "Starbuck" Kara Thrace IS NOT the final and 12th Cylon!

Mine too, man. Mine too.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Mine too, man. Mine too.

Yeah, Baltar is awesome... I love his character. And he's the one I am continuously trying to figure out. He's a major player in this story as a whole, and yet there are so many questions that revolve around him.

 

[JediMike71]

Yeah, Gaius Baltar's character is very complex. Kara Thrace is too. I'm anxious for some explanation of her being "back from the dead" now?! I'm glad that Admiral Adama is letting her go her way on the frieghter ship to her path to Earth. I just wish the fleet was following her! Like she told Adama...."You're going the WRONG way"!

 

[Darklord Dave]

Most TV shows I'm one step ahead and I'm yelling at the characters when they miss obvious solutions. But Adama's answer is simple, obvious and I didn't see it coming. With their hyper jumping she can catch up to the fleet after finding Earth and proving it exists.

And just something to rub in - I saw Grace Park (Boomer/No. 8/Sharon/Athena) at the Sci-fi grand slam this weekend! She's tiny!

But I bet she looked really good though.....

Did you get any pictures of her, or her autograph Dave? If so, please post pictures here, if would would. Thanks!

I'm like that with that DORA chick. I'm always screaming to her that le renard Swiper is right behind her--- sometimes it's like she's not even trying to stop his swiping.

Oh, and if you don't watch BSG then you're an idiot.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Nope, I don't really go in for autographs or photo ops. I'm sure there are some pics on the web from the event though.

Poor Poor Cally. I don't know if I like the angle they are playing with the 4 in hiding. They distinctly said that even though they are cylons, that they don't have to be evil or act like cylons. Well killing cally and then saying that she wasn't an angel pretty much goes against that. Oh well, hope next week is better

I think they will play it as a survival angle. Let's face it, if Roslin finds out they are skinjobs they are going out an airlock. Cally had to die if they were going to survive. No res-ship for our Fleet based Cylons. What Im a little stunned about is that they are not playing up the second hybrid baby angle.

 

[gdb]

Tory said that being a cylon hasn't changed who they really are. Tory apparently has always been a pyshco grinch who cries during sex.

At first I was mad about Cally because I had forgotten that Boomer and the Chief used to have a thing. But now I'm looking forward to their reunion. They can share a good laugh... "Remember that crazy woman who shot me?" "Remember her? I married her? Don't take it personally. She tried to kill me with a wrench."

 

[Darklord Dave]

If they weren't going to do something with the other hybrid child Tory would have just spaced Nicky as well. But the backhand shows that they have all the power, brutality and detachment of a Cylon.

Her crying during sex with Baltar was very human, she was humliated at having to do it but realized she must.

 

[screamingmetal]

I believe Cylons can't control what they do, they just follow their unconscious programing such as Boomer shooting Adama. So Tory killing Cally I saw as an unconscious action, one that she could easily live with.

I don't think Tory is going to tell the other four about Cally finding out about them because she knows from Chief's point of view, Cally had postpartum depression, went nuts, and tried to kill him and their kid. No reason for Tory to tell him she killed Cally to protect their identities, he might not as easily live with that as Tory can.

I would agree that their programming overrides their actions at times. But Boomer sabotaged the Galactica and didn't realize it. Tory sought out Cally, manipulated her into turning over the baby to her and then blew her out an airlock - not exactly unconscious actions.

I agree that she won't tell Galen or the others about it though - there's no need, but I'm sure she'll remember doing it.
