Since the total when they started the episode was 49,550 and the city size was 39,159ish, I think it's safe to assume almost 10k died in that explosion. I also saw at least 4 ships go in all.

Re: BSG what the ****!? /*yeah spoilers probly*/
well that was city population, there was still quite a bit of fleet left in orbit and all of them seemed to have a skeleton crew at the very least. some may very well still be heavily populated because of the surface living conditions. still your assesment is valid.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Well of course I'm assuming they all stayed in one city. With the apparent lack of supplies and impending strikes, I don't see too many thousands blazing new trails.

I'm also assuming with Tigh moving down it was a sign of a very very small crew. Even if you lowball it and assume 1-2k in space it's still at least 8 thousand deaths.

AND THEY HAVE A PLAN

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

Cylons have a plan, but RDM doesn't. He really just comes up with stuff. The entire Helo subplot in Season 1 was because audience asked what happened to that nice boy they left in Caprica! It doesn't mean that his gut isn't good and genious, though.
lol wtf

Ok, I just watched the season finale and I am baffled, jumpy and generally pretty freaked-out. That was excellent TV if I may say so. Do youselves a favour and watch it, pretty please.

HUGE FRAKKING SPOILERS. Do not spoil yourself, seriously.

Spoiler:
What the **** are they going to do? They don't have manpower to even put up a CAP, 30 000 of the residents are now under the iron heel of Cylon jackboot and they have lost pres, Cottle, Starbuck and tons of others. They can't even get the lights going on the Bucket and I don't even know how the supplies situation is.

October can't come soon enough.

lol wtf

Damn that Callie... "I forgive you , I love you!" - seriously she should be the poster child for battered women!

President of the Colonies? Can you honestly see Baltar running an ant farm sucesfully? "Hey if I got only 1 ant left, it's still a sucess!"

I don't know that RDM is abandoning the 'War of Gods' thing. After all he keeps going back to their religion. The Colonials WORSHIP GOD and also the 12 Lords of Kobol. they are NOT interchangeable... There is ONE God and the Lords have names... ATHENA, ARTEMIS, APOLLO...ect... Duno if there is a listing of all so I would hazard a guess at this time that Zues/Chronos might tbe the head God?

   In TOS the Lords are NEVER named (only the "fallen one" Iblis)...


I firmly stand that Earth is the origin and Kobol a colony (how the FRAK else do you know a planet exists if no one has been there but the 13th tribe???) "Ok, like you 12 douchebags go that way, we're going this way to a planet called Earth!  yeah, that's the ticket! See you in 2 thousand years losers!"

Here's an excerpt from my fanfiction crossover (TOS Pegasus jumps from their universe's Capella node to the GTVA Epsilon Pegasi node by ACCIDENT after killing two base ships and trying toi blind jump at the now unstable node - episode called "The Living Legend part2".)



Epsilon Pegasi - 1630 hours



The 67 surviors of the 93 that stayed on board the Pegasus had been briefed by Cain on the findings of the GTVA in regards to the releationship between Earth and the Colonies. Some took it hard while others were merely confused.

Cain had appealed to them to overcome this religious dilemma.

"Look, I am no priest, I'm a warrior... They seem to have proof that Humans originated on Earth millions of years ago while we only have moldy scrolls from 2 THOUSAND years. Obviously something is not right about this, but it's not our job to worry about it. Our job is to assimilate as much as needed with this ENORMOUS Human culture and try to find the Galactica. I hope and pray she and the Civillian fleet can be located and brought to the safety of GTVA space. After that, then we can worry about resolving religious or philosophical debates on Humanities origin and all that felgercarb [bull****]. I am counting on all of you to be true to yourselves, but still be flexible enough to put aside any internal conflicts long enough to make this happen. I promise as soon as possible we will then strike out back to home and retake our beloved colonies. Till then, until that glorious day is possible can I count on you?"

To a warrior, they unanimously shouted, "Aye!"
"Don't think of it as being out-numbered, think of it as having a WIDE target selection!"

"I am the one and ONLY Star Dragon..."

Uhhh, it's not like he was hitting her to control her. He was going through a pathological breakdown.

I think that's kind of the idea.

The Colonials worship the Gods, which are the Lords of Kobol. Only the Cylons worship God, singular.

Again, that question is sort of the point. They don't know, empirically, that Earth exists; they believe it exists because their scriptures mention a 13th tribe departing to settle a different world.

Re: BSG what the ****!? /*yeah spoilers probly*/
I'm just hoping that they don't ditch the whole Cylon god deal, because Al's comments sort of sound like: "Well we can't prove the gods, and I didn't even mention our god."

I think it would have been a bit more powerful with: "Your gods we can't prove our disprove. Our god is real though, but I'm not sure what god thinks about the war heroes' plans..."

Instead it seems sort of like a 180, when it should just be a 90 turn.

Anyway, a bit disappointed that nothing really new has cropped up especially after the "Late in season 2 you'll learn a ton more about the Colonial scriptures and Cylon god."

I want Iblis to show up with a pimp cane damn it! (with Cain at his side as the evil #12! mwuahahaha!)

I got the idea that the 'Al' model is the only one wich has atheistic tendencies, remember how they were saying that they were trying to 'tell the others for years'

Re: BSG what the ****!? /*yeah spoilers probly*/
Even then to me it sort of detracts from the 'Cylon god is so prevalent, personal, it's THERE' sort of thing. The other Cylons acknowledge the 'gods' as being real but false. I'd have Al deny them outright 'gods shmods...' but add a creepy factor of 'ours is real.'

Re: BSG what the ****!? /*yeah spoilers probly*/
i think the whole of season 3 will be the fight to liberate new caprica (or whatever they decided to name it). i very much doubt they are gonna get everyone back in the fleet in a few episodes. i do forsee characters like starbuck and tigh trying to escape in one of those raptors they had on the planet. adama and son will probibly regroup and try to mount some kind of rescue op. but with so many basestars in orbit its gonna take a few episodes at the least.

Season 3 will be totally different. Instead of occasional scenes on "CYLON-OCCUPIED CAPRICA", we'll have scenes on "CYLON-OCCUPIED NEW CAPRICA".

The Galactica and Pegasus head back to the old cylon occupied planets and pick up more survivors.

1. Gaius Baltar is officially the ****ing Devil. No wait, actually, he's a Cylon. They never showed all the models, right? He's done several thousand times more harm to humanity than any Cylon could. Oooh, wait, maybe that's the message. "No one can **** us over half as successfully as we can **** ourselves over".

2. 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.

3. What happened between Apollo and Starbuck? It would have to be something pretty bad.

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...

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