See you Friday night LOL

The five escaped the destruction – because they knew it was coming and they had the means to escape – via (maybe) and old cylon tech. … They traveled back to the original 12 tribes (systems/planets) in order to prevent the holocaust they experienced. However they did not have FTL so it took them a thousand years or so to make the journey (which would not be a problem with auto resurrection/res when you want/need/etc…).

They arrived and started designing the human cylons …. in order to bridge the ‘gap’ and prevent the war. Cavil was the 1st son and several more were created/designed – as human as possible, with free will and creativity. They gave the cylons immortality and the cylons rose up – 1st war – yet were not successfull. Cavil then bushwhacked the original five, kill them, brought them back and reporgrammed them/altered their memory…. and slowly put the original five back into the human population (in theory a big insult …. and also a huge tool). Cavil is the new leader of the cylons – all of them… he downplays the FIVE, he makes sure the other models do not want to seek the five out (reprogramming the five).

Cavil keeps the five alive … so they can witness the show of human annihlation – the war the Five wanted to prevent…. and it happens again. Cavil’s play things are the human race, the colonials and his gallery is the Five… he plays along when he knows he has to and commands when he needs to – though I do not think he expected a cylon civil war, he does what he thinks is needed.

Galactica is dying, maybe already dead, but isnt the best solder already dead in his/her/its own mind? The cylons are mortal now … no resurrection and no procreation.

And Kara Thrace is the perfect killing machine – maybe she is Daniel’s vengence? The angel of Death? Maybe Baltar did get one thing right – and the Six was also right, he has not really changed … he is babbling, but he’s always usually a right – in some way that’s important.

Galactica takes out Cavil’s cylons … like Pegasus takes out that Base Star? Maybe too easy, but maybe not…

And what’s up with Centurions dreaming of the One True God???

* I assume that people are asking Kara questions, but she doesn’t know the answer herself so I guess they have more important stuff to show us. (They already cut important scenes from this episode according to Bear McCreary’s blog, so there will be an “extended version” of this episode on the DVD!)

* “is that it is HE that whisks Hera away (with Six) in the opera house vision”
That was my first thought now that Roslin’s visions returned. The visions are the same but the “truth” is the opposite of what we used to think.

Depends. If it is a soapy-ass soap opera, you’re probably right — people won’t hang around for long.

If, however, it is a thoughtful examination of the implications of developing AI, with valid arguments on both sides (and not just robot fear mongering), then it has an opportunity to not only be exciting and dramatic, but relevant. I for one can’t wait to see it!

This has been really disconcerting to me… Everyone knows I think Baltar is one of the most interesting characters ever put on the tube. His role in this epic story has transformed over the years, but always felt integral. The last season has seen him become a fringe character with little (if any) relevance to the story, and that is just frakking sad.

The only hope that he still plays a huge role in the finale is that it is HE that whisks Hera away (with Six) in the opera house vision. Remember way back in season 2 when that seemed so important? Here’s hoping…

1. We know who they final 5 are.
2. Hera is the ONLY Human / Cylon Baby.
3. Starbucks father was a Cylon.
4. Laura finally kicks the bucket.
5. Boomer’s role in the series is now coming to a close.

Yes we are getting answers to many questions, but not “The Truth”.

I used to find myself frustrated because I had to wait a week to see a new episode of BSG.

Now I find myself frustrated watching the show. Someone give Starbuck a gun or a viper and let her kill something.

I don’t know what to expect? Where the heck was the chief this past episode?

I am now looking forward to the end of this series. I will miss some things but I won’t miss wondering if there was going to be another season, which actors whould cry about salaries, how long it wuld be before the next season started, and so forth. What they did with BSG was simply terrific. I think they are going to have a hard time finding the same audience for Caprica. Nice attempt at copying the Star Wars model but I have serious doubts about it. On the Star Wars topic, can you believe that Jaina Solo had to kill her brother Jason (Darth Cadeus)?
