What's this ..... I come back from the weekend and there's no thread about the new BSG episode ?!?

Well, I just watched it, and holy frack, it's all kinds of awesome (as expected)

Spoilers ahoy

Spoiler:

Interesting choice of focusing on the characters instead of the mission, resulted in quite an unorthodox feel to the whole episode, not bad though. All the really important scenes were dialogues and not action scenes, which shows once more that the show is driven by the characters and the choices they make, and not action scenes.
Not that the action scenes was bad, quite the contrary. We now know that the main guns on the battlestars are in fact used to shred baseships to pieces ...and boy that was quite a sight.

Now, why did Apollo not want to came back alive ? Because he thought Kara had carried out her mission and would have been shot by the Pegasus crew, or is it something else ?

Baltar and Number 6, confusing as always. Why did the one in his head try to stop him from telling the captured one the things he did ?

Also, they have brought back the newer music style (as discussed before), especially noticeable during the battle preparation scene and the attack run on the resurrection ship. Might not be for everyones tastes, but I liked it.

I think Baltar might actually be insane.

And I'm disgusted that there wasn't even one hot, sexy, lesbian love scene with Cain and Starbuck.

Cain's vagina is filled with liquid nitrogen.
Starbuck would freak out and cry for her ovaries. Oh ovaries, you were never of any use. Starbuck you domb broad.

That would be one of the best sex scenes in the realistically rare scene of "scifi sex".

Could you mail me a sample of whatever that s*** is you were smoking when you wrote that?

OT, it was a bloody good ep - having just downloaded it myself - but I find myself wondering where Baltar could have possibly taken Gina.

Now, if the folks working on the BSG mod can get it looking half as good as the stuff seen in this ep, they shall be hailed as Gods...

Wait a minute - why didn't the Pegasus get power-downed during the Battle Of The Colonies?

Mark VII pretty.

Quoting me from Games-warden:

Spoiler:

"The plot with Lee...I sort of got. He's moving away from Kara, definitely, but the talk with his father, learning that the President was behind it - I could just see that contributing to his loss of confidence in humanity. Here he is, thinking that Roslin is peaceful, helped her evade Adama when he put her under arrest - and suddenly she turns out just as bad, ordering assassination of Cain to maintain her power."

Or in other words it's got nothing to do with Kara, but moreso that Lee is suddenly disillusioned with both Roslin and Adama. He knows Adama will use violence to get what he wants, but didn't see Roslin as being the same.

At least that's my take.

Wait a minute - why didn't the Pegasus get power-downed during the Battle Of The Colonies?

I assumed it was in dock, powered down for maintainance. This is a big assumption though as surely it would still need computer control of the life support system.

[NGTM-1R]

IIRC, the virus was in the navigation software...it's possible (even likely, as life support would be high on the list of critical systems requiring survivablity) the life support is run by a totally seperate system.

[WMCoolmon]

I wouldn't be too surprised if Cain had the same policy as Adama about computer networks. From a storytelling point of view it would add depth of meaning to Cain's character, as she would sort of be an alternate Adama, ie if he had gone through with arresting Roslin.

Remember the way Adama dissolved the tribune investigating the Chief? That was basically what Cain did, except in this case she skipped the formalities to prosecute rather than exonerate.

[ZylonBane]

Baltar and Number 6, confusing as always. Why did the one in his head try to stop him from telling the captured one the things he did?

You're not paying attention. Baltar didn't do those things, Six did. Or at least, told him she did.

Delightfully evil, isn't it? Take a story that clearly has great emotional significance to someone, then retell it to someone else who is, basically, the same person. Bam, guaranteed emotional "in" with that person.

[Col. Fishguts]

Bah, I was paying attention, I just couldn't write an eloquent sentence to express what I meant.

"the things he did" = the things he did tell the captured one, which in turn were told to him by the one in his head.     ........see that was an ugly long phrase

[Sandwich]

I think I'm gonna hafta watch all 3 episodes together, see if they mesh well. Artistically, they're all different from each other (first was music-happy, second was somewhat standard, but with a massive weight of B.A.D. hanging overhead, third was character-focused). Hunh.

[BlackDove]

Anyone entertaining the idea that perhaps Pegasus, as Galactica, was let through?

[WMCoolmon]

Possibleh. 

[IceFire]

Wait a minute - why didn't the Pegasus get power-downed during the Battle Of The Colonies?

From what I've heard the Pegasus was in spacedock with the main computer cores powered down already.  I'm not sure if the details were ever given but I think one of two possibilities exist.

1) Because the computers were down and everything was in the process of a refit they may not have had time to install the new navigational computer software "patch"

2) Because the computers were down (and so was the network) they were spared and figured out what was going on in time to do a rollback.  Sounds like Microsoft programmed this, not Baltar

Either way, this is all why the Viper Mark VIII without the exploits and computer networks installed and Pegasus were able to operate.

Resolution = teh winner.

[Mefustae]

Where'd you snag that, Setekh?
