*OFFICIAL* BSG THREAD (possible spoilers)

[Pierre.Suave]

I am so glad Gaeta and Zarek got what they deserved, and that Tigh survived.

[ogneopasno]

1. Me too. Oh my God was Adama awesome in this episode. He's got 17 different brands of crazy in all

sizes running around his ship, and he totally kicks ass in every g.d. scene. I'm so glad I don't have to listen to Zarek run his mouth anymore.

[hedgehog]

2. So, who was Gaeta, really?

[Pierre.Suave]

5. ?

What?

[ogneopasno]

7. Just Gaeta.

Um, I guess.

[NewJeffCT]

32. What popped into my head

was that Adama was his father... no reason for it, but just a feeling.

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Me too

I was getting sick of Zarek.

This was a very good episode, but I would like to have known what happened to Sam.

[ogneopasno]

8. Sam has to be dead. I'm tired of him, too.

Although, if he dies, that might mean more screen time for Grace Pak, who can't act her way out of the bathroom. And dude, get Helo back on his feet! He's got his own special awesome that needs to be spread around, too!

[Pierre.Suave]

9. HAHA

yeah, I dont understand why out of all the people available, Sam had to be one of the final five.

[WolverineDG]

37. I've heard Olmos really loves this role

and it shows. I love your 17 different brands of crazy...that sums up Adama quite nicely. :)

[ogneopasno]

40. He is just a pleasure to watch, every time he is on the screen. The way his face changed when he

thought that Saul was dead -- brilliant. But my favorite is when he's pissed at people who deserve it -- the man smokes.

[Swede]

3. This show just never stops amazing me.

Now that was an ending!

[Pierre.Suave]

6. I know

it is so good.

[Cannikin]

10. Next time I have a persistant itch...

I'll have someone point a gun at me.

[Pierre.Suave]

11. It works because

it focuses the mind elsewhere...

:rofl:

[RoyGBiv]

12. FRAK!!!

That's all I have to say.

No ... I have this to say. Adama is a badass, So is Starbuck. Starbuck and Adama are badasses.

[Pierre.Suave]

13. Yeah

don't piss them off.

[RoyGBiv]

16. Poll

If you had to piss off one of them, who would it be.

A) Admiral Adama

B) Starbuck

Me? I'd piss off Adama. He'd just shoot me. Starbuck I'm afraid would keep my alive while disemboweling me.

[Pierre.Suave]

18. neither

lol

[RoyGBiv]

19. This is the correct answer ..

:thumbsup:

[targetpractice]

44. Adama...

It would suck for me... But, I think I would learn something in the process.

[Cannikin]

14. It was nice to see some of the 'old' Starbuck...

I've had enough of crazy 'we're going the wrong way!' and 'WHAT AM I??' Starbuck.

[Pierre.Suave]

15. no Kidding

that was getting REALLY OLD.

[RoyGBiv]

17. No shit ...

That scene where she grabbed Lee and kissed him, "Feelin' right for the first time in weeks ..."

Oh hell yeah ...

[Writer]

22. Well that's still a significant part of her character...

why Leoben walked away from her in fear is what is most compels me about her character.

I'd like to know what she is!

[Pierre.Suave]

23. Me too

maybe he was just scared by what he saw.

[RoyGBiv]

24. Yeah ...

That is a part of the story they have left hanging for now.

But it must be addressed.

[hedgehog]

20. Speaking of which, that one guy who let Tyrell go, did he actually say

Frak or did he say the other F word?

[RoyGBiv]

21. !!!

I had the same question!

I'm waiting for the upload to re-watch and see, but I had the same thought.

[RoyGBiv]

39. There's an R in there ...

But he said it kinda weird. I listened to it with higher-quality audio on my computer with headphones.

I think the actor may have been so into the moment he *almost* forgot the "R."

[hedgehog]

41. That was my impression - that he started out saying something that wasn't quite

what was in the script!

[hedgehog]

25. Is the preview of nextr week's episode legit, or are we getting punked again?

[RoyGBiv]

26. Previews?

The previews are always punks.

I refuse to watch them.

[hedgehog]

27. I checked som eBSG sites, and apparently I stopped watching the first episode 45 seconds too soon,

making me the last person in America to learn the identity of the 5th Cylon.

[Withywindle]

28. THE WRATH OF LAURA ROSLIN

OMG, that speech when she thought Bill was dead....


Wow.



:scared:


:loveya:

[WolverineDG]

38. Mutiny Lesson Number One

DON'T FUCK WITH THE TEACHER!!!

My favorite part of that scene was the looks of fear on the Cylons' faces. :rofl:

dg

[Left Is Write]

29. I actually read this as "official big ass thread"...

[Pierre.Suave]

35. ROFL

It can be that too!

:rofl:

[Dogmudgeon]

30. I wasn't glad at all

It was a fantastic part of the story arc, although they are out of the show now, and have gone out as bad guys. Both Hatch and Juliani are excellent actors. (As with MOST of the cast.)

What I thought was jarring was Dee's suicide. But then again, suicide in real life is jarring to the survivors.

I was also impressed by the encounter between Tyrol and the rebel in the munitions room, and Roslin's short speech about never surrendering. Mary McDonnell's characters have tended to be "nicey-nice". All of the main characters have broken their role types several times (like Gaeta and Zarek in the last two eps), and it is (IMO) a big part of the show's appeal.

--p!

[kentauros]

31. This episode was also one of the most brutal for deaths

and the manner in which people died.

The two most jaw-dropping scenes were when Zarek had the quorum killed and when the lawyer killed his guard with his pens! It was like he was ex-IRA or something :o

Oh, a couple of questions: When Tyrol was in the engine room, catching his breath after shutting down the engines, what was with the wall? Were they massive cracks in the structure or more like what they looked like, really big claw marks?

[Nickster]

33. I thought the same thing, they looked like huge claw marks.

[NewJeffCT]

34. they looked like claw marks

but I am guessing it's some sort of problem with structural integrity.

[mduffy31]

48. That is what I thought too.

I suppose its going to be that the ship wasn't meant to go thru all this abuse, and now its starting to break down.

[Connonym]

49. metal fatigue is my guess

looks like by disabling the FTL Tyrol may have saved the ship from exploding.

I was distracted at the end so I didn't catch all the dialog but what was that scene with Gaeta and Baltar? Was that a flashback? I missed the point of the scene.

[TheWraith]

53. Gaeta was preparing himself to be executed, and Baltar was offering him sympathy.

Baltar would understand better than anyone the feeling of having done things he thought were necessary, only to see events spiral out of control.

[Connonym]

55. ok, that makes sense

thanks for replying

[WolverineDG]

36. I loved how he & Adama played a Galactica version of

Quien es mas macho? :evilgrin:

And Ellen returns next week! Squee!

dg

[ogneopasno]

42. I love TWOP's description of Adama in their weecap:

Also not rolling over: Admiral William Adama, who literally spends the entire episode telling every single person in the world to fuck off as loudly as one can through one's dentures. He is a Lean, Mean, Fuck You machine. It is amazing. Turns out his Bucket List has one item on it, and that item is: Everybody Goes To Hell. Bill's Care Bear Glare powers have never been so magically delicious. He tells Gaeta to cram eleven things up his ass, invites Zarek to blow him, calls his lawyer a pimp, tears holes in the hull using his glare... A couple of lieutenants actually cry, because he's that scary. Finally they have no choice but to tie him to a chair in front of a firing squad. Then he just starts spitting at people.

[WildEyedLiberal]

45. Hahaha that's so awesomely true

Bill Adama is possibly the most badass TV character ever.

[JitterbugPerfume]

43. I love me some Bill Adama!

I have the episode on DVR ready to be re-watched in case I missed something good!

[WildEyedLiberal]

46. I was worried about Tigh too but I figured last week's preview was a fakeout

It was a great episode but I do wonder who will be the antagonist now that Zarek and Gaeta are dead. Will the other three Cylon models come back with a vengeance, or are we just going to see massive loose-thread-tying from here on out?

[NewJeffCT]

50. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the other 3 cylons

and, if Galactica is having structural integrity problems, the fleet could be vulnerable to them.

[DS1]

47. I wish Roslin would hurry up and kick the bucket

The actor never sells anything, she's useless. The culling of the Quorum was awesome, and I'm glad Zarek is finally gone.

[NewJeffCT]

51. I was surprised

when the quorum stood up to Zarek and told him to leave, "Mr. Vice President."

Not surprised Zarek then had them killed, though I was hoping that one of the marines or somebody would put a stop to it.

[shadowknows69]

52. I'm not so sure Laura is "The dying leader" I think it's Galactica itself

I think if anything this show has tried to show us is the futility of religious fanaticism. That human and cylon attempted interpretation of "The Divine" is inherently flawed

[bikebloke]

54. Note to self.

DO NOT CLICK ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA THREADS. (someone slap my hand if I try)

I have the DVD's for 4.0, but I think I'll wait until 4.5 comes out then watch it all straight through.
