its funny that everyone hooked up with the exception of roslin + adama. theyd make a good pair.

[Rictor]

Isn't Cally like 18. Or something. She's damn young. Nothin' like a bit of the ol' abuse and pedophilia to pull in the ratings.

First of all, where did you get that she's eighteen? Second of all, eighteen isn't pedophilia.

Use yer eyes man! Still, c'mon, age difference. Not that I don't like the changes; finally someone has the balls to get creative and actually make something worth watching.

Yeah, personally with this whole mess I would have had it set up like:

"Adama: Tigh, head back down and spend time with your wife."

"Tigh: With all due respect, hell no Admiral. I've been off the sauce for over six months with her down there instead of here. I'm glad to be away from that witch."

"Adama: She is your wife you know."

"Tigh: *hmmph* I heard Laura is wanting you to come down for some R&R."

blah blah

In the end Tigh convinces Adama to take some leave before Tigh 'retires.'

Cylons attack, Tigh and Apollo leave. The Admiral is then on the planet.

Well since humanity was on the verge of extension, I'm sure nobody cared.  Also going back and listening to the dialogue in the background of the strike meeting made me laugh some.

I'm still slightly troubled by Major Dee, Lee's XO. She was enlisted before Lee was given Pegasus. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that kind of massive promotion something that shouldn't happen?

I think Lee's let his power go to his head. Should prove rather unentertaining....

[Nuke]

i dont really think its power more that convinence. it seems like sitting around a battlestar is less desirable than living down on the planet. so i dont think it would be a job anyone would pounce on. in the case of them two they have the whole ship to themselves and thus it has its advantages. like bonin' on the command console

How many alternatives are there?  IIRC, Pegasus' crew had a large number who were forced into serving, after all.

The actress who plays Cally (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0167435/) is 23, and the actor who plays Tyrol (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0234928/) is 34 FYI.  Large gap, but not unheard of.

[Mefustae]

Okay, is it just me, or when future Tyrol & Cally appeared on-screen, did anyone else suddenly think White-trash!

Plus, i'm thinking something's gonna happen between the newly returned Galactica-Boomer and Tyrol... "Hmmm, live with my preggers wife, or go have crazy sex with a hot woman that likely doesn't age... decisions, decisions."

[Nuke]

i tell you i like sweet innocent callie over white trash callie any day.

Yeah, because Galactica-Boomer won't worry one bit that he's knocked up one of his deck crew.......

[Mefustae]

Touche.

In other matters... any ideas as to how Galactica and Pegasus can hope to survive with a skeleton crew, a years worth of disrepair, and minimal support in terms of supplies and manpower?

I don't know, but

Spoiler:

RDM has said that the Occupation arc will last 3-5 episodes and after that people are once again on board those stupid ships. So at least somehow, I gather.

As long as engines, power grid, essential computah superpowahs and hull last at least somehow, Battlestars can at least limp away. And they have a lot of other ships there too, cannibalizing them isn't too far-fetched idea at this point.


Here's wishing New Caprica at least helped their screwed supply situation a bit, or otherwise 3rd season will be "oh god running out of **** part deux" all over again.

In the words of Hoban Washburn: "This could get interesting."

Well, they've got the motivation to do the impossible, and the Cylons are supposedly gone from the Colonies now, so they could always jump back to the Scorpion Drive Yards or whatever other Colonial installations there were (the return to Ragnar?) and crash-refit. The parts are still in storage, as long as the storage is still there. Possibly picking up other ships and/or crew along the way. There were probably survivors on some of the other colonies too, not just Caprica, and we know that simply blowing the crud out of it wasn't the only option the Cylons had for dealing with a ship.

The Basestars would be tricky, but I think if you tried you could hit-and-run them to death. Pegasus can certainly wreak all kinds of havoc in only a few salvos from the main battery. Jump in, lay waste to one, jump out before the others can respond. Lather rinse repeat.

[BlackDove]

Err, I'm more convinced that first, the Ex-Prez will be doing some impossible maneouver with Colonial One (they made it very clear it was on the ground, wasted a ****load of money to make it look good) escaping atmosphere and jumping, etc. etc.

Then they'll all come back, save the rest, go on to Earth.

Then again, maybe not.

Surely they have a few spare nukes, too?

Seems like that would only work once... jump in, destroy a basestar, jump out, jump in behind where another basestar should be but isn't because they got the hell out of there?

[Col. Fishguts]

Did anyone listen to the podcast for the season finale? I swear I heard Moore say that Olmos is not coming back for season 3. Were they joking? I really hope they were because it isnt BSG without Admiral Adama...

That's crazy talk. Proof it or I'll have to break your legs, for making me nervous for no reason.

EDIT: Phew

Also, seeing Adama with a moustache made the Miami Vice theme play in my head.

[Dough with Fish]

Hmmm.... when the fleet was jumping out, did anyone else notice this? The ship appears to be something from the classic expanded universe or fandom, as it looks like a Circe-class or a Colonial Defender Now, is this something along the lines of the Enterprise and Serenity being in there just as a gag, or did the fleet find someone else out there? Or did they make a new ship?

[NGTM-1R]

That's why you watch them with Raptors. And yeah, the nukes work too. Galactica has the right number left too, doesn't it?
