On a lighter note... BSG

I think her exact words were something like "I knew she'd make it!"

Maybe it's just pride in her "model"?

Not weird at all. The cylons want the baby to be born. If baby carrying Sharon was dead then the baby wouldn't be born. Am I missing anything?

Oh, OK. You guys may be right.

May I point out that the Lucy Lawless (Xena) cylon MAY NOT KNOW she is a cylon....she is just doing things that reporters do....but all to the benefit of her underlying cylon programming.

She does not need to maintain "cover" because she doesn't know she is undercover.

1. It shows that Tigh is no pansy despite all his other flaws.

When he took over after Adama was shot, he was doing a good job initially. When he started listening to his wife, things went south quickly.

How would she know to transmit everything when the two raiders showed up unless she knew she was a cylon? She was running to get all the action when the attack started, but she also knew to transmit all her video. I don't buy it unless she's aware she's a cylon.

Easy: She doesn't know she transmitted. Just like the Sharon cylon didn't know she shot Adama. They had to tell her as they were taking her to the brig.

Yes, they've obviously constructed her character so that she is easily loathed.

BTW: Check out the website:

Click on DOWNLOADS and then PODCAST for audio commentary by Ron Moore (exec producer of BSG). They have about half the first season as well as all the episodes through last Friday that you can download.

Doesn't seem to add to much to the plot, but it is interesting to hear his point of view.

Last night's episode was pretty good. I especially liked the construction of the "muscle car" stealth fighter (all-engine and no handling). I think we will be seeing more of that in the 2nd half of the season....it is the colonial's secret weapon.

The new Sharon get's no respect...I suspect the writer's will keep it that way for a while. It creates great tension.

They need to give Tigh a break though...he is ALWAYS the hard ass...ALWAYS proven wrong...and ALWAYS drinking. Nobody is consistently that bad.

How was Sharon able to communicate with the mainframe computer via her wrist/arm. Wouldn't she need some kind of light source or generator in order to communicate via fiber-optic?

Yea, this will be fun to see how they use it’s limited but awesome abilities - stealthy too.

When they figured out the front line fighters were being disabled via virus, they should of shelved a few and re-did their avionics/computers.

Maybe the other battlestar will have a few retro fitted.

2nd half of the season? This friday is the season finale. That admiral commanding the other battlestar looks to be a beech. Looks like another good episode though.

I wonder if the season finally will resolve whether or not the survivors on the other ship are Cylons?

[911boost]

Wierd. I just watched the original BSG where the Galatica encounters the other Batlestar (Pegasus), comanded by Cain. They were both good episodes for the old series. I hope it doesn't end the same way the original did, it kind of left you hanging.

So you would pay good money at the theater to get the answer and be left hanging out to dry for the next 25 years.

I watched the original Battlestar Galactica as a kid, but don't really remember it. Can someone fill me in on kach22i's comment?

[911boost]

yeah, Kach what do you mean? I don't want to go into specifics of the episode in case it is the same.
