*SPOILERS* Battlestar Galactica, s2e10


Recommended Posts

So, what did everyone think of this episode? I think Ensign Ro is a pretty good Admiral.

Edit: I created this topic to discuss season 2, episode 10 and to speculate about what might happen in future episodes. If you've read leaked scripts or news and want to spoil something that hasn't aired yet (i.e., episode 11 onward), please use the spoiler tags. Don't ruin the series for those that don't want it ruined!

I was disturbed to see how they condone such abuse of cylons...using rape as an interrogation tool? It's a cold reminder of human brutality. Other than that, I am so ready for January!!!

Yeah, I was shocked to see the Pegasus Colonel (?) about to rape the Boomer Cylon.

Off topic: Wow, someone here on Neowin from Shreveport. I'm in Ruston.

Yeah...that was pretty bad.

I can't believe Cain tell's Adama that he makes bad decisions, but yet

she let's Rape go on on her ship.

HOLY ****.

Jesus, that one scene... I was wondering why they had the disclaimer after the commercial, and now I can see why. That guy deserved to get his ass handed to him.

I want Pegasus to just get owned. I mean, OWNED. Feed 'em to the Cylons.

Counting the seconds until January.

Yeah...that was pretty bad.

For some reason, I knew from the beginning that this battlestar would be filled with "evil" officers. On a side note, the interior and exterior of Pegasus was beautiful. And, I like the new music in this episode.

Yeah...that was pretty bad.

Well, she's obviously got a few screws loose, so it may be that she just doesn't care, so long as the information she needs is obtained.

Maybe they can use the Blackbird (once Starbuck gets back) to launch a stealth nuke at Pegasus.

I just can't see colonial pilots engaging each other like that, after all they've been through. At the very end, the command crew of the Pegasus looked pretty unsure of the actions of Cane. I could see a mutiny coming out of this but then again, who would command the Pegasus? This is one of the few times that a tv show has got me completely befuddled as to what direction they'll go in.

Probably don't need the spoiler tags when it's in the topic title. ;)

I think the Pegasus crew was unsure about going up against a fellow Colonial Battlestar. However, it was obvious that they had no problems with the interrogation "methods" being used on their captive Cylon, so they deserve to get wiped out.

Now that I think about it...

For those of you old enough or geeky enough to remember the old series, when they found the Pegasus...there are some similarities with that storyline and this one. In the old series, they find the Pegasus, and Cane talks Adama into going on this crazy mission against a Cylon outpost. All hell breaks loose, and Cane basically uses the Pegasus to go all kamikaze on two Cylon basestars in order for the rest of the fleet to get away. Now, on the new series...they are running a recon mission on....two basestars and some other massive ship they've never seen before.

Speaking of that big ship...any guesses as to what that could be?

Yeah, but someone always bitches, even when it's in the title.

I get what you're saying, but remember, most of the Colonials consider the Cylons to be nothing more than machines. If that concept is reinforced over and over from the top down on the Pegasus...these things are nothing, they are machines...then they probably don't consider that "rape" since it's not a "real" person. Screwy, I know.

I think the big ship is probably some kind of central command ship. I know raiders don't have pilots and I'm pretty sure base stars don't either so this big ship might be a central computer to guide them all. It might be a raider factory too. Who knows? I'm very anxious about January though.

I found myself repeatedly wanting the Pegasus to get hit by a stray nuke throughout the entire episode.  That was probably one of the best episodes of any tv show...hell...anything I've ever seen.  I don't know many movies that are as good as BS:G.

My thoughts exactly!

Sounds about Right, or its what they call home now...hating carbon life. they built thier own ship...to be like a new planet..robots :cry: ...who knows? :no:

He was a Lt... Lt. Thorne. He was about to put a thorne in Sharon (ok ok i'll stop).

In any case... spectacular episode. The last 5 minutes (background music DEFINITELY helping) were just the best 5 minutes I have ever seen, even better then last season. Adama really stepped up to the plate and was just sick and tired of Cane.

Do officers outrank the marines (those security guys accompanying Thorne)?

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
