all I can say is, wow... that was good.

I was practically crying with the bit with starbuck and tigh at the end.

[Ford Prefect]

For a minute during that last sequence I thought Tigh was going to shoot himself.

same.....


clifhanger at the worst possible moment though :/

[Rictor]

1. Nooo, hot Starbuck is dead. With short hair, she just looks like a man again. Boooo I say, booooo!

2. They should either have Tigh go out in a drunken blaze of glory, (kill himself (which would have been an incredibly balsy move had they gone through with it), kamikazing a Cylon ship, shooting Sharon (now Athena) or something similar) or get him back in shape like Apollo and Starbuck.

Also, is anyone picking up a really heavy "2001" vibe from the sequences on the Cylon ship? Well, 2001 meets Minority Report.

[BlackDove]

I like how they seamlessly allowed us eyes into the Cylon workings through Balthar. It wasn't really something I was expecting, but cool regardless.

[Janos]

"Bayship" pilot enjoys her jumps quite much

"the Hybrid"

[Col. Fishguts]

Is the hybrid one of the twelve ?

Also, I'm glad that Moore is going back to the question what the Six in Baltar's head is. I would have hated it, if that mystery would have just been forgotten.

Hybrid is not one of the twelve. It was stated somewhere (RDM in podcast or something) that there are twelve humanoid cylons. The seven models we know: Six, D'Anna Biers, Simon, Leoben, Doral, Boomer and Cavil. Six explicitly states that they don't talk about other five and wants Gaius to shuddup about them (Gaius asked all the good questions now by the way). However, they show the Hybrid to him. It's just something like raiders or centurions, yet another cylon. It's not actually even human.

Tigh'll shoot himself in the series finale I reckon. He'll spend this entire seaon brooding about in his cabin, making occasional moves forward, others backward, and, cause it's a TV show, probably save the ship at least once or twice. But he's gone.

And personally, not a fan of this basestar arc. Seems too contrived, too "Here is whgat life is like on a Baseship isn't it cool!" sort of...

Actually, truth is I haven't been too excited with the direction of the show post New Caprica. First Roslyn pardons everyone, nowe everyone seems to have no problem at all with the fact that New-Boomer is a cylon, and the basestar thing and... well, lotsa stuff. Yet, the show remains well put together and well acted... I just don't like some of the choices made.

[Kosh]

nowe everyone seems to have no problem at all with the fact that New-Boomer is a cylon,

Maybe her saving their asses at least twice has something to do with that......

[NGTM-1R]

Cloud Nine's gone man......

It wasn't in the episode being discussed. So there!

Starbuck looks better with short hair, and don't you forget it!

[Iron Wolf]

Or maybe they keep it quiet because the Old Man has shown a huge amount of faith in her.

Spoiler:

I must say, the Cylons really paniced when they were trying to decide on whether or not to abandon that dead baseship. They were unusually indecisive about it. I do wonder what is in store for us next week.

Cylons are weird. They can't die (or can but it's difficult) but care a lot about dying. Maybe it's because what Cavil said, he gets awful headaches and gets crazier.

Dying is traumatic, that's why they don't want to go through it.

[Ashrak]

heres a question: if in the case of a cylon death, only the counciousness gets transfered, how can a biological disease threaten them?

[Turambar]

perhaps it isnt a biological disease.

i'm thinking its more like a computer virus that manifests itself once its in cylon systems.

[NGTM-1R]

Possibly it's neurological in some fashion. If you're unable to think at all when your conciousness is transferred, well...

[Black Wolf]

I thinks it's more likely to be akin to the radiation that got them in the ragnar nebula, but since its behaving in such a different way (as it was triggered by the device rather than the nebula - maybe it started as one big burst when the thing was turned on), the cylons are worried. Plus, one of them (Simon I think) mentioned something to the effect that they'dnever had to deal with diseases before - maybe it would be no threat through the resurrection ship, but they just don't know and don't want to taker the risk.
