Like the entire martial law arc, Boomer technobabble, does Res Ship count?

Well, they almost lost the Pegasus to a Cylon ambush a couple of episodes ago.

oh yeah that too

point proven i guess

Billy,
don't be a hero.

Today is a sad day indeed. Season 3 will start in October, but apparently tonight's episode is a long one (90 mins or something) so it at least kinda compensates.

October ? .... OCTOBER ?!?  ... what the hell am I supposed to do during the summer ?

[karajorma]

Also, am I the only one seeing a distinct lack of Cylon attacks in the entire second season? It's like the Cyclons forgot all about their littlle crusade to eradicate humanity. "Oops, we sort of, er, forgot about the central story element. Here, watch Baltar look sullen some more"

Did you not cotton on to the fact that with the Res ship gone cylon raiders don't res either? That's exactly why the Cylons had to go over to ambushes and long periods with no attacks.

But those ambushes aren't small either. They came at the Pegasus with 3 Basestars and probably a dozen squadrons of Raiders.

[karajorma]

Because they figured they had a chance of winning.

It's one thing to commit your forces to harrass the enemy like in 33 and lose lots of them if they can be simply put into a new body and sent out again. It's a completely different matter to waste them harrassing the enemy for no major gain when those raiders are now permenently dead and you now need to train/insert new personalities without the same amount of combat experience.

[Rictor]

But see, it stands to reason that given the Cyclon's advantage in technolgy as well as numbers, they could simply mount attacks on Galactica until it was destroyed. I'm figuring they have several dozen Basestars at the very least, and more importantly they have an ability to construct new ones while the Colonials don't. I mean. they had enough firepower to wipe out the entire Colonial fleet in a matter of hours, how hard can two Battlestars be?

(I realize I'm nitpicking and being an asshole, because if this logic were followed there would be no series...but still.)

[Col. Fishguts]

AND THEY HAVE A PLAN

If they really wanted, they could have wiped out the Galactica and the fleet. But they didn't....

[karajorma]

Which shows that they are holding back deliberately. Which makes it even more stupid to waste resources.

[Ford Prefect]

Well damn, that was a hell of a finale.

[Dough with Fish]

Well damn, that was a hell of a finale.

QFT man, QFT.... I mean, that was... Jesus that was some gooooooooooood television. I am going to go through withdrawl though, we gotta wait until OCTOBER for new episodes.... It just isn't fair man.

[Bobboau]

[Blue Lion]

That was awesome.

[Spectre-7]

That was such a radical change that I thought it was all Baltar's dream until the moment the credits ran.  Sonova...

Haha, my dad thought the exact same things. "This is a dream. It's gotta be," he says.

[Bobboau]

godamnit Gias "bain of humanity" Balter, kill yourself all-****ing-ready.
it isn't good enough that you let the cylons practicly wipe out the human race for a good lay, or that you actively help them kill off the straglers, but you were ultimately responcable for them finding the fleet (and the destruction of cloud 9 and sevral other ships) I mean, just think how much better the world would be without a Baltar, the string of events steming from him is just amazeing, how can he have not killed himself by now!?

[Dan1]

It still may be  

But anyway, I felt that the first 2/3rds were good but then it's like oh BAM a year later.  A year?  WTH?  They were basically going week by week and sometimes last weeks impacts etc impacted the next.  All the relationship stuff that they had each week...who was with who and why and then BAM ...year later.  Adama with a mustache..dunno if it was real or not but really looked out of place to me after seeing him w/out it for so long. (did he ever have one ?)

In addition, I'm surprised that Baltar wasn't thrown out of office the way he was rationing and keeping basic needs from people (anti-biotics....this was never implicetly said but it was implied with the strike and how people acted?) Starbuck getting married/long hair stunned me as well.

Also, I can't really figure out why Adama jumped away with the fleet....where is he gonna go?  He can't regroup anywhere I mean everyone who is gonna be there was there already.  They don't even have enough of a force let alone a trained force to hardly muster a fighter squadren themselves.  

All interesting questions and scenarios for next season....wonder how long baltar will be President when they figure themselves out of this.  (I wonder if Baltar will become emperor or something since the 2 female cylons..(six and ...Sharon../eight?) are probably running things and she still obviously has a thing for him.)

But just think, as others have mentioned that the cylons look to be purposely holding back (baby?)  And if Baltar was never there they might've wiped them out long ago.


EDIT ADD: Also , AL as a cylon..I seriously didn't see that comming but as soon as I saw him on Caprica i was like oh my...

[Blue Lion]

Firstly, in the "flashbacks" Adama has a little fuzz

Secondly what was he supposed to do? It was said they could barely bring the ship up to combat readiness, let alone engage. At least this way there's still a chance.

Spoiler:

don't know if this is a spoiler or not, but when Al-GalacticaFleet saw his "brother" (Al-Caprica) his reaction was what made my night.

[Ace]

Woo! Baltar's love shack!

...and then like any bad ex Six had to ruin the fun

[Nuke]

well it just ended in my time zone and i just need to say

WHAT THE FRAK!!!

that said i fail to see why they continued to stay after the nuclear explosion. i mean gias as well as everyone else in the fleet, shoulda been smart enough to see that coming. nuclear road flare dun de duh! none the less it was an intresting show, completely unpredictable and such. the year gap is kind of a reset button on character development plots. not sure if thats a good thing or not. with the talent of the writers as seen thus far its probibly a good thing..as for adama's decision to flee i think it was a good call. they really didnt stand a chance against that fleet. i wish they would have damage caused by the nuclear explosion. anyone manage to count the total number of dead ships? i also wonder what kinda body count that racked up for the cylons. anyway i cant wait till october. its gonna be one long wait.
