Galactica - Season 4 discussion (spoilers)

[Geekyfanboy]

I just read that the new episode of BSG aired in the UK last night... not sure how that happened but it's up on bit torrent.. do I wait two more days or do I download and watch...

[Rico]

Wait....   It's only a couple days.

[Geekyfanboy]

Yeah work is crazy and I'm putting in 18 hour days.. I wouldn't find the time to see it anyways..

Spoilers for tomorrow's episode here-LINK


  ...?

[X]

Not giving anything away. The person who wrote that had no clue of what was actually happening. I think it was the best episode of the season. I think he missed several key parts regarding regarding everything and I think that Adama summed it up well why he gave the ship to Tigh and what he really thought about him and 6.

Everything was explained in the show to my satisfaction and I think it was the best of the season.

Although this is a spoiler thread, I'll give it until Friday to let everyone get a chance to catch up.

If you noticed Lee and his reaction to the bowl and how the audio changed, you would have picked up that something was not right about the situation. I called in when I saw it and I think it was perfectly played.

BEST. SHOW. THIS. SEASON.

Spoiler Alert





After reading that link again, I can't help but comment now.

1) The fight between Tigh and Adama was perfect. The resolution was even better. In one line, Husker puts aside was Tigh did and tell him exactly what he should do about it.

2) Kira being the CAG makes perfect sense. Lee is gone and she did just broker a treaty with a huge part of the Cylon enemy. She did nothing that even remotely put the Crapper ship in any more danger than what they signed on for.

3) Maybe I was watching a different show, but I think it was pretty clear that the cat didn't make it to the fleet alive.

4) A part of me wonders if Natalie might have regenerated in a closer body than the resurrection ship.

5) I love how they summed up the character of Apollo and it made perfect sense that it went in the direction that it did. I am also happy that they finally touched on the fact that Roslyn was never elected president and someone else would have been in charge if not for Husker.

I enjoyed last night's show.  One of the more interesting ones this season.  Lee as President makes sense.  Adama staying behind for Roslyn I'm not so sure.  This is a guy that has had to make some tough choices over the years.  To turn over command to Tigh and stay behind, I don't know it seemed a bit overboard to me.  I can understand his feelings for Roslyn, but it still seemed not quite right.  Starbuck just back as CAG and not looking for Earth?  It's funny how all those episodes of her searching just seemed to be pushed aside - at least for now.  Anyway these are minor little things and I am sure will become resolved over time.  Only two more episodes left to show.  And then the long wait for the final half of season 4.

Lee as President made sense to me as well. I will admit that I was a bit confused with the whole story between Lee and Romo Lampkin, as it seemed obvious to me from the outset that Lee would be the Choice. The whole brainstorming sessions seemed lost on me, but that is me, and I might be missing something deeper. I guess with Adama staying behind, does seem a bit odd for his character, but I guess in terms of his relationship with Rosyln does not. I guess as well, he does not want to put the fleet in risk, or anyone else to find her. Maybe he trusts Lee enough to make sure that Tigh does not get out of hand like the last time. Looking forward to seeing how they conclude the first 10 episodes as well in the next 2, hoping for maybe some more action as well.

Just finished watching the latest episode.. it was a very solid episode. I don't agree with Just X that it was "Best Show This Season". Very little happened but what did happen were major shifts in power. I can't wait to the finale two episodes of the first half of this season, but than again I don't want it to be over so soon.

Next week... Number 3 is back.. maybe will learn the ID of the fifth Cylon before they go on break.

[Bryancd]

I am 100% with JustX on this episode. One of the best this season. We are getting away from the whole religous thing which was weak and getting to what really makes us human: LOVE.
Tighs love for Ellen vs. Six
Adama's love for Rosalin
Lee's love for doing the right thing
It was great...and I think Romo is the final Cylon,

[Dan M]

I was thinking that Romo is the final Cylon also, Bryan, though I have no confidence in any of my predictions on where this incredible show will go.

I read that article that Wraith linked to, and couldn't disagree more.  This was a really good episode.  None of those "plotholes" were problems to me.

[X]

I also thought that Romo was the final one, but by the end, I changed my mind.

[wraith1701]

After watching the episode, I'm relieved to say that I didn't see any Shark Jumping going on.  Once again, this show has managed to take an exciting, unexpected turn.  My only complaint is that we have to wait another week to see what's going on with Roslyn and the Base Ship.

"The wa-aiting is the hardest part!" :laugh:

[Darth Gaos]

Great episode...I am totally bummed that are only 2 epis left before a wait of Gods know how long.

One question/observation though.  Is Six pregnant with Tigh's child?  If so, isn't that supposed to not be possible?  I know Human/Cylon hybrids were thought impossible previously(right?).  Now we have the first evidence of Cylon/Cylon procreation?  Or did I miss some key piece of the puzzle?

[Rico]

I don't think the final five Cylons are quite the same as the rest.  Who knows what they can do?
