Maybe not destroyed, but MIA like in the original.

But I'm guessing Cain will go on a suicide mission: Pegasus + Giant Cylon ship = KA-BOOOM

Hopefully galactica will get its hands on a few of those viper mk7s

I don't know, I see the plot going a few ways:

1 - The viper pilots just aren't willing to fight eachother. The She devil looses her foothold on power, goes bezerk, and then Adama Takes control. <- BSG writers seem to think too much to make this situation 'overly simple' as this proression would make it.

2 - She's testing Adama to see how far he will go. The story was maybe planted about her being whacko to get Adama worked up, and to get him to realize that she demands total control. She feels that Adama is the type of man who would go head to head with her, and she knows that Helo and Cheif had a relationship with Sharon from the logs.
She thinks she's got to get the weels turning, and she's pushing his buttons to make him take that step. Then she's going to pull something like offering him a fight, or releiving his command and taking his men back. She seems to want the control and authority, and maybe she's an expert at bending him.
I don't think she's a cylon, that would just ruin it. She has to be human.

3 - The cylons are god damn geniuses, and they let the Pegasus survive because they know She's wacked and that her and Adama will jump at eachother's throats. Then, when they are busy fighting eacheother, in comes the damn base ships and rips em one. The pegasus goes down in flames valiantly.. yada yada ... <- This would suck though. Too easy of a plot.

Anyways, my 3 cents. :)

4 - The President intervenes. If necessary, physically, by ordering Colonial One directly into the fray.

Unfortunately, I, uhm... ran across a certain site that reveals some of the events to take place in the next episode. I'm not even gonna tell you what site - unless you ask by PM or something - since I'm regretting the fact that I know how the situation will be resolved. :(

However, suffice it to say, RDM has a nice solution in hand. Supposedly. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

I had read some time ago that the involvement of the Pegasus would not just be a two episode special like in the original...

Chew on that a bit :)

In the original cain survived. and took out 2 base stars by exposing sides of the pegasus to the basestars and firing every missle they had. I wonder how this will end up.

Hopefully with Admiral Ro Laren dead. She's too much of a psychotic ***** to live.

For some reason I'm getting the impression that the big middle ship is holding a whole crapload of Biocylons, possibly the ship on which we saw Xena, Six and Boomer watching the doco thing on the other week (assuming, of course, that they were on a ship).

As for the resolutions, well, consider all the pieces in play:

 - Starbuck is flying around in the Blackbird taking photos of the Cylon ship.

 - The president of the colonies is sitting on the Galactica.

 - It's a TV show, and I doubt RDM would be willing to kill off two key characters in a situation like this.

My suspicion - The Viper pilots will refuse to engage each other long enough for Starbuck to come back with the Blackbird and wa whole bunch of pictures demonstrating some huge threat from the new ship. Roslyn steps in to calm the situation between Galactica and Pegasus until they deal with the new threat. Admiral Caine dies somehow during the battle with the Cylon fleet, leaving Adama the superior military officer, so he takes back his crew members and the Pegasus joins the fleet (for a few episodes at least).

Oh, and TBH I doubt the new ship will be an old style basestar - they simply do not fit into the new Cylon design ethos, whether it be explained away as an old style ship or not.

Spontaneous heart attack when she realizes that Adama gave a nuclear weapon to the Vice President, who also happens to be talking to an (as far as anyone can tell) imaginary Cylon friend?

I'm betting that the ship might be a sort of biological foundry where basestars, raiders, and humanoid Cylons are constructed. Maybe even an encounter with some "dead" Cylon models?

That does make sense considering the new Cylon stuff is organically controlled. The organic stuff needs a place to grow.


Personally I think that the Pegasus looks like Galactica on steroids. Galactica by far looks better.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Rewatch that episode then; it is clearly sated that they are watching that film at the end in a movie theater on Cylon-occupied Caprica.
