There was no reference to any of the events of the webisodes in the new episode.

Dylon??

Hey, that last episode was pretty sweet.

I find it interesting how all of the core characters who were friends in the first season (and since then have become enemies) ended up banding together and overthrowing the revolution. IE Tigh, Adama, Lee, Starbuck, Laura, Baltar, The Chief...

After the last few episodes, I think I've grown to like BSG more than Lost. Lost is still in a rut, IMO, whereas BSG has brought itself back to being awesome.

The last two episodes have definitely been high octane. But then again, with
only six more eps, shit better start getting resolved.

I think we need to have a BSG death pool.

Next character of note to bite the bullet?

Saul Tigh.

Unless Roslin's disease finally offs her before that.

I'm betting that some of the Cylons who are the last of their lines start dying off and it creates more tension between Cylons and Humans, and before a human dies Cavil is going to attack.

Cavil said :

Millions of Sixes share that nose, millions of Eights share those breasts... {:D}

Where are these "millions" ?

Okay so I just watched last week's episode, and I'm fracking lost!

I don't get it... So Earth had a cylon problem too and ended up destroying themselves. But the final five were there and managed to re0generate in orbit, right? So they were already skinjobs, even though they gave cylons skinjob technology??? WTF? And when whats-his face was like "The nine of them..." and starbuck is like "we're missing one!" What the hell does that mean??? 9? 10? Agueuuhhh??

Can anyone clear this up for me? Spicelon? Anyone???

13 tribes, 13 cylon skinjobs
13th tribe was cylon

Kobol was Humans who made cylons and the "Lords" kicked out the "One True God" Human tribes head to colonies, Kobol-Cylons head to "Earth" (13th tribe)

13th tribe gets attacked and nuked.
FF rebuild resurrection and download.
They don't have FTL (you get this Kevin?) and it takes them 2,000 years to backtrack the 5-year journey to the colonies.
They bring a message of hope and peace i.e. don't enslave cylons because they will effin kill you and nuke your stuff.
Colonial/Cylon war is in full swing when FF get there. Cylons already making Hybrids (Razor).
FF offer Skinjob tech. if the cylons will end the war.
FF make 8 Skinjobs, John Cavil, Doral, D'anna, Simon, Leoben, Caprica, Daniel* and Boomer.
John Cavil is the first new cylon. He's nuts. He kills the FF and gives them human memories and sends them to the colonies for a "front row seat" in the holocaust.
Cavil kills and boxes Daniel, corrupting his gene info. I'm thinking why will be important in the last 3 episodes (I'm also convinced that Gaeta was a Daniel, see sig.)
Skinjobs Nuke the colonies, BSG starts.

What's FF?

Drunken Idaho · Post by **Drunken Idaho** » 20 Feb 2009 13:57

FF = Final Five

And thanks Ampoliros. That does clear things up a little. So I'm thinking Helen was behind the song, what do you think?

Ampoliros · Post by **Ampoliros** » 20 Feb 2009 21:42

Sam played the song for them.

RD Moore has said that there is a reason that the audience recognizes it. It is All along the Watchtower. Supposedly it is descendant from the original Bob Dylan. Wither Dylan is a 13th tribe Cylon or even further back is still unknown.

One thing to keep in mind, the Ellen you see now is the real Ellen. the "Ellen" from earlier in the show is the punitive human personality that John Cavil gave her to show her why humanity deserved to be wiped out.

Mandy · Post by **Mandy** » 21 Feb 2009 14:06

Well the real Ellen was petty conniving bitch too then. I can't believe they wasted an episode on all that silly drama.

SandRider · Post by **SandRider** » 21 Feb 2009 14:39

yes. at one point I said aloud "As the Galactica Turns ?"

I thought I understood why Caprica Six was not still in love with Baltar,
when she "left" his mind when he really got into the whole Jesus thing.
"You don't need me anymore, God has shown you His Plan" or something.

But then there she was in his head again. Somebody please help me understand
that. I know I've not missed any episodes, but must not have been paying attention.
They'll need to do a thing like the "Lost for Dummies" re-runs where they explain
everything at the bottom of the screen.

I agree, i really felt like last nights episode could have been dealt with in the last 5 minutes of last weeks episode. It felt a lot like Matrix 3.

And I was wrong about ellen, she is a bitch. Wtf tyrol, wanting to leave? didn't he just accept his old job back, and now he has boomer too?

Looks like poor Gaius is going to go the way of most religious upstarts. Should we start a betting pool for which of the last 4 episodes he bites it in?

Drunken Idaho · Post by **Drunken Idaho** » 22 Feb 2009 17:46

Hmm, I think all that drama is at the core of what's important right now in the show. It doesn't really bother me. And besides, Tigh continues to be my favourite character. I enjoyed the scene where he and Bill had a laugh over the whole cylon situation.

Mandy · Post by **Mandy** » 22 Feb 2009 19:52

Michael Hogan is the best actor on the show, imo. I love Tigh and Adama, even though they're really fucking Adama up right now.. I can't believe he gave Baltar's bitches weapons.

Sandrider, I'm as lost as you are about head Six. I think she just shows up when Baltar needs her. I still don't have a clue if she's real or not.

You had to love that line where he said he was was going to the head to take care of a project he'd been working on.

Ampoliros · Post by **Ampoliros** » 22 Feb 2009 23:15

apparently the guns-to-civilians thing is resolved in a scene that was cut, explaining that after the mutiny they are running really short on Marines to protect the civilians. Turning to organized groups, such as Baltar's religion supplied groups willing to 'police' their own as well as the other areas.

My thoughts exactly

Ghost · Post by **Ghost** » 23 Feb 2009 08:18

Eveyone says that ''Deadlock'' was an awfull episode.
I agree, worst BSG episode in a while.

To me Deadlock was THE single worst episode of the entire series.
Season 4 has been a semi-disapointement, but this episode was outrageous...

Mandy · Post by **Mandy** » 23 Feb 2009 12:56

It's right down there with The Woman King, imo.

I did love Adama's line about finishing a project he's working on. That was great.

Spicelon · Post by **Spicelon** » 23 Feb 2009 15:19

This was a complete waste of rapidly depleting story time.

Ugh.

DuneFishUK · Post by **DuneFishUK** » 23 Feb 2009 15:26

Usually the shit episodes lay the groundwork for bigger things to come. But that last one was just a rubbish waste.
