Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
Its been 24 hours and I'm still at a loss with that episode.  Very hard hitting...slowly warmed up into a total....something.

I agree with everyone else...Starbuck = teh awesome in this episode!

I'm pretty sure this is what appears when you look for "awesome" in a dictionary.

Adama is more awesome.  The ragged beard on Tigh doesn't cut it when it comes to awesome.  He looks like a miserable old guy who shoots people for fun.  Adama looks like a pissed-off old guy who wants to teach some punks a lesson, Dirty Harry style.

17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

 
Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
Finally got around to seeing the episode...gotta hate traveling. Anyways, wow. I think that episode was a shining example of **** hitting the fan in a big way. Was definitely fun seeing Tigh and Adama being the Rambo tag team,and Kara getting back to kicking ass. But there was a lot of interesting stuff going on besides the action. Roslin appears to be back in the game; I guess if there's one thing that'll always bring her back, it's the prospect of Zarek in charge. I'm curious to see how the rest of the fleet is going to respond to this mutiny, especially after Roslin's address. Also, what are the Cylons going to do? I can just picture a Cylon boarding action on Galactica to try and take back command...

Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
The problem with a Cylon boarding party is that there is a good chance both sides would start shooting at it. The whole problem is distrust of the Cylons and centurions stalking through Galactica might be a step too far even  for the people loyal to Adama. Are they really on the same side? Is this a Cylon trick or simply a blatant attempt to seize Galactica while they can?

I suspect we'd only see a Cylon boarding party if Gaeta manages to get control of the ship. Once all the people with guns are on his side then there's no reason not to send one in. (Well except for the fact that they might decide it's their ship now and jump away!). :D

Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
There's no way for the cylons to know who's on their side and who's not, especially when you can just say "I'm with you" then shoot them in the back.

There's obviously a lot of Adama supporters, because the amount of shooting was a little much for an easy mutiny.

From the sounds of the ship's captains, many of them appear to support Roslin.
Or something.

Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
Exactly. Any Cylon force would need to be led by Lee or Starbuck or someone that would obviously be considered loyal to Adama. But that then cuts down the number of centurions they could send in.

To be honest I think that cutting Roslin off mid-speech was a bigger mistake than just letting her finish. Especially since Gaeta now wants to blow up the Raptor she's in. Until she can get back on the radio she now looks like she's a martyr.

I just know one thing - if Adama ever gets back in command those airlocks will be in operation 24/7. And I'll be making popcorn and having bets as to which traitor flies out faster :D

This is so true. :yes: :lol:

 
Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
Is this ship untextured or otherwise very bland...?

That is the standard passenger liner. The same kind as Olympic Carrier was. There are at least 5 different paintings of it in the show. (like Geminon liner, Sagitarian spaceways, and so on) This one is clearly missing textures. Perhaps they forgot to associate one to it from the catalog.

Perhaps the painters were nuked before they laid their hands on it? :P.

I would prefer the launch tubes.  If we are tossing traitors out the airlock, lets do it with style  :cool:

All I know for certain is, Gaeta is sooooooooooo frakked.

 
Re: Ep. 415 "The Oath" Discussion (SPOILERS)
If Lee and co. get control of the Galactica back, I predict something more along the lines of all known traitors being rounded up and put on the prison ship, left with enough fuel to get back to Earth should they so choose, and the fleet jumps without leaving a forwarding address.

No mention of Tom?  Adama's going to sign his bullet before it takes a one way trip to his frontal lobe.

As a civilian Zarek would be harder to deal with. Military personal can simply be shot. Ironic considering Adama's response to Cain trying to do much the same thing of course. :D

I think I sense who the first person to say hello to the launch tubes without a ship will be....

I don't think being a civilian will matter to much, since a large number of Gaeta's forces are civilian.

Interesting read about Gaeta and his motivations:

http://io9.com/5143404/why-is-gaeta-so-bad

A very nice summary of what his character has been going through and how he got to where he is.  His sudden rise to evildoer is actually not that sudden...they have me convinced.
