BSG Season 4 News (may contain slight spoilers)

Was that an Old Style Cylon Raider in the Cylon Colony Boomer took Hera back to?

Looks like next week is going to be pretty cool, from the preview, looks like they are going to take the Galactica on a mission to take out Cavil and get Hera back. Maybe Anders will run the ship like the Hybrids do for the Basestars. Is the Galactica the dieing Leader?

Jeff, you and I saw the same thing.  I think that was an old style Raider.

It will be interesting to see how this all ends up.

Yeah, we have seen those before.

I think the original viper and cylon raider were simplistic, but some of the coolest designs ever.  For some reason those and the X-wing have stuck with me.  I used to love sitting in the cockpit of Star Wars video game at the arcade.  I always wanted to sit in the cockpit of a Viper.  Some of my favorite scenes of the original Battlestar were when we would see the inside of a Raider.  WOW!  Very cool stuff.

Do you remember when the cereal companies had a promotion with a viper cockpit that you cut out of the back of the box?  I had one of those.

Yes, I agree, the Original designs of those ships were very cool, so anytime one of those appears on the screen, it is cause for a mini celebration for me. I always loved that shot from the original where they would show Cylon raiders flying in, one after the other, so cool. The cockpit view is also really cool, so if they do remake the original as Kenny posted in another thread, that it would be cool if some of those scenes are updated and included.
Tonight's episode was fun in seeing the Cylon raiders, as it reminded me of the Star Wars prequels and spotting the YT-1300's.

I wonder if the Galactica will smash into the basestars like the way Hera was playing with the toys :) , Maybe Lee will put on the Uniform one last time and take a Viper out as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if they find the base, jump there, rescue hera, get closer to the base, spool up the FTLs and pull a boomer on the super basestar, destroying Galactic and ending the Cylon civil war once and for all.

[Dangelus]

The whole Kara thing has me hooked. Is she connected to the Cylons or does she stem from more supernatural origins?

Baltar's 'outing' of her didn't seem too smart either. What's he up to?

[Rico]

I liked the episode, but the last 2-3 episodes for me have not advanced the overall plot much.  We are getting some great character stuff, but considering they should be looking very hard for a new home I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen more recon/scout missions sent out.  I'm enjoying it, but I guess I expected a little different approach.  With two episodes left they sure have a lot to cover still.

I think that they already found a home. The Colony was abandoned, but not uninhabitable. New Caprica is still habitable. They just need to find a way to end the war then they can go there.

Hmm, they don't seem to be saying or thinking that at all.  Remember the week before when Kara was sending out the patrols?  I think New Caprica is much too far away now.  Don't know enough about the other places yet.

I think everyone is so run down and beat up they may have stopped caring. Seems like more immediate concerns are on their mind (the Galactica for one)

[Dangelus]

Which ever way you cut it, they need to deal with the war first. If they settle somewhere was it stopping the other Cylons coming after them? The reason they headed for Earth was because they thought they would find millions of humans there of similar technology that could help them fight off the Cylons as well as give them sanctuary. When they found a 'ghost planet' the strategy had to change.

x2,  I wish they had kept the momentum they had going from earlier in the season.

I think it's Adama.  Notice how he's been taking a lot of pills lately? 

[Rico]

Solid episode last night.  Interesting to learn more about the characters back when they were still on Caprica.  Wondering if any of that will be important in the last episode?  Looks like it's go for broke time.  Loved the scene on the hanger deck with Adama.  Two hours next week!  And don't forget, there's a special on Sci-Fi this coming Monday night at 10pm.
