    What do you think of it?

    Okay, so I just got back from the last showing of the day (I wasn't even planning to go today, 'cuz some imbecile told me it wasn't out 'til tomorrow, but by fluke I managed to thwart his evil plan and the rest is history). I think Joss actually wrote the best review of the film when he had...

    So What Happens Next?

    Second that, Dave. And Ray, please, PLEASE GOD let there be no space opera...... *quakes in his boots* I like the idea about Roslin. I'm not sure the screenwriters will have the guts to do it (let's face it, the ingenuity required to fight a war AND a rebellion may well be beyond human...

    1.13: Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2

    I'm not sure I agree with the Baltar-and-Number-6-Baby theory. It seems a little obvious, and if there's one thing this series isn't, it's obvious. The Cylon-human-halfbreed role is fulfilled by Boomer and Helo's baby. This is Something Else. And Ray, if we're going to have messiahs and Gods...

    1.13: Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2

    One point I have worked out (the rest is probably coming, but I'll probably have to do a 2- or 3-day marathon to sort it); Did anyone else have a close look at the ruins which Baltar and No.6 went into? There was like a golden something-that-looked-vaguely-globe-like on it. I think that might...

    1.13: Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2

    Frakkin' GRRRRRRRRRRRRR AAAAAARRRRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I HATE cliffhanger endings. Ahem. Wow. I remember thinking about 5 minutes from the end that this was the magical tie-up of the series; there was just time for Starbuck to take the arrow back, the Boomers to both kill themselves...

    1.12: Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 1

    I think that Baltar's infatuation is credible (remember he's losing his mind ;)). After all, the pair have been flirting for quite some time, and I can understand him reaching out for something a little more meaningful as the stress sets in. Though it isn't exactly consistent with last week's...

    1.12: Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 1

    Well, I'm interested. I managed the terrible mistake of missing the opening of that montage at the beginning, which I'm thinking may have been a mistake. Is this the penultimate episode ever, would be the question we are left with. I don't know, but at least one fellow watcher (not on this...

    1.11: Colonial Day

    Hmmmmm..... Fits, I guess. Makes it more likely she's a Cylon than just a loose-cannon power-*****; if she was the latter, then she wouldn't care where Tigh was, she'd just screw someone higher up. Although I think Mrs. Tigh might predate human-form cylons - when were they married, do we...

    1.11: Colonial Day

    Hmmmmm I quite enjoyed the episode, but yes, some things didn't fit. Having not seen the one where Helen Tigh is introduced, I don't really know her plot, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on with her and Zarek. I was disappointed to see a return to the Baltar...

    1.10: The Hand Of God

    roflmao I know I've said this before, but It's more relevant here; Rik's latest wild-ball theory: The Cylon God is the real one, and is also the root of human mythology. God is on the human's side - which is why Galactica has had some unexplained lucky escapes (cf. Starbuck in that...

    Just a little one - BSG75

    Just a little one Can anybody tell me why, on the badge that's shown just before the ad-breaks, at the bottom, it says 'BSG75'? Just a thought, Rik

    1.08: Flesh and Bone

    Let's not start theorising that everybody's a Cylon.... Here's a thought, based on being two episodes further on: The Cylons serve God, and according to No. 6, he has a plan. What if God's on our side? What if God's plan - which even the Cylons don't seem to know more than the first...

    1.10: The Hand Of God

    Well, I liked it, though I've a few problems here and there. For once, I didn't find myself disliking any of the characters, although I'm very much wondering how Galactica can sustain such casualties. Also, why would the Cylons who'd just lost their base break off? Where would they go...

    1.07: Six Degrees Of Separation

    I agree with Dave. I think 'Godfrey' was a separate copy of No. 6 - the impression I got from her original explanation to Baltar was that there were at least tens if not hundreds of human-form cylons.... And as for the point about Baltar talking to himself... I talk to myself, out loud, all...

    1.06: Litmus

    *Spoilers below* Well, this was pretty good. Seems to answer a couple of questions which have been hanging over the series, at least for now. Firstly; the Cylon-occupied Caprica storyline appears, from the dialogue between the three human-form cylons, to be a kind of social experiment...

    1.05: You Can't Go Home Again

    Good point. However, the other ships in the fleet were paralysed by Cylon infiltration programs in their systems, not EMP (I think). And I reckon the Cylons are so good technologically that they could manage it. Just a thought, Rik

    1.05: You Can't Go Home Again

    Agreed (and guilty as charged for the Apollo/Adama show - this isn't it, though. Here, they were not invulnerable heroes) And when I said Tigh betrayed Adama, I didn't mean he did the wrong thing. He was right, but he wasn't doing what the cmdr. expected him to, so; betrayal. And I agree -...

    1.05: You Can't Go Home Again

    Ooops. I started writing this before you posted, Dave. Wrote it with that in mind, and you're probably right, it was pretty weak, except in terms of the acting. Our actors were given lame material and really brought it to life. Here, for posterity's sake, are my first reactions/rant to it...

    1.04: Act Of Contrition

    Well, I can only say 'wow'. This episode felt a bit more like a series standard after the inward focus of 'Water' and 'Bastille Day'. And you know what? It wasn't the Apollo-and-Adama show. It was good to see Starbuck get so much screen time (and not just because she's hot), even if there were a...

    1.03: Bastille Day

    Wow.... what en episode. I liked: being reminded about the president's cancer. Seeing that maybe No.6 is beginning to lose her grip as well (she was strangely irrational when instructing Baltar, rather than being her usual manipulative self). The abandoned city. Tom Zarek. However, I have a few...
