Next week it looks like this will all come to a head. This week rocked. I was on the edge of my seat!

agreed. Wow is right. Some very emotional moments.

I had murderous rage last night and wanted several people to die painfully and slowly. It's not often that I get that reaction from a show. Some books, yes. Almost never for a show.

Loved it! And I'm with you - I wanted to kick Gaeta's little fake leg out from under him! After everything the Admiral has gotten them through - what a way to repay him. I'm having just a tiny bit of trouble with him gathering the forces he has so quickly and easily. It's one thing to not like joining forces with the Cylons, but it's another to betray a leader who has brought them this far. Excellent episode though - I was on the edge of my seat! And some great Katee stuff too!

from what I can tell, he got a bunch of the people that were with him when he tried to mutiny on Starbuck and some of the Pegasus crew. Then factor in Tigh and you have more than enough people that might think the Admiral lost his marbles. I really just want to see him dead. I know it's a mean thing to say, but he doesn't deserve any pity. He lost his leg because he was a traitor and if Starbuck had killed him then, it would be one less problem.

Just seemed like a lot of people, marines, etc. very, very fast. But of course it's a TV series and with BSG right now they don't have 6 episodes to let him build up a group of mutineers. I just hope they settle this pretty quickly and get on with actually working on finding a real home again.

What was so crazy was watching the human nature factor. It was a little close to home for me and that is what makes it great television. I have been involved in groups of people where it turns really quickly, and then confusion ensues. In this case it is unsettling to see where the lines are drawn and who honors who. Yikes!

I was upstairs when the episode started. The scene when Saul goes to see Adama - I could hear his voice crack and thinking "she's in her bathrobe" -- sure enough. I thought everyone knew about those 2. They are becoming the bright spot in the show -- listen to me, what a softy I've become in my old age. ;D

Fun episode - a bit surprised at Apollo getting anoyed at Tighe and where would we be without Katee. :D

My exact thought as well while watching. I was like, what the frak, over the course of a few days Gaeta has a frakin' army capable of taking over a Battlestar! Definitely a cheat by RDM but that's ok.

Awesome episode; had me on the edge of my seat! Loved Starbuck's initial reaction to the situation-- "I haven't felt this right in weeks!" LOL. Hardcore adrenaline junky!

You aren't the only one. The Adama/Roslyn good-bye scene at the airlock got me kind of choked-up. It's good to see a few rays of sunshine amid all of the darkness and chaos the crew is going through.

And Geata... Where's a good airlock when you need one?

Nothing for nothing, but Gaeta does have a point.

I hate to say it.. but I agree with you Bryan.. I hate Gaeta, but if you think about it from his side and from the remaining survivors, the Cylons have almost wiped out the human race... now they are just suppose to team up with them. I'm not saying it's right.. but I do understand where they are coming from.

wraith1701 · February 01, 2009, 03:52:38 PM

I think Gaeta and his followers would have a point if the Cylons were all cut from the same cloth, but they aren't. As far as we know (so far), folks like Anders, Tigh, Chief Tyrol, and even Sharon/Athena played no part in the atrocities committed against the colonies.

And Geata isn't alone. Zarak is starting to seem less and less like a misunderstood revolutionary, and more like a hate-monger seeking power for power's sake.
