I didn't expect them to move on from Earth this fast. They spent three and a half season on the quest to Earth. After they actually found Earth they spent two episodes on it, just to move on again without answering that many questions as to what really happened.

This episode seems like a filler as well, although it could very well be the beginning of the end of the fleet. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the entire fleet will go self-destruct in the final episode.

Yes, last night's episode was pure crap. Reminds me of just about every episode from S2E1 on.

Well, I think it's necessary to have a setup episode every so often when the storyline takes such a dramatic arch in big swoop. It's like finding Earth in the last 15 minutes of season 4.0 was too rushed and out of place.

The cylons want to be seated at the quorum as the 13th tribe. If the human/cylon alliance does return to Earth to colonize it, they become essentially the 13th colony. The original 12 overtaken by skinjobs are destined to evolve into some form of humanity and all that has happened before will happen again... at least that's the way I'm starting to see it. The cylons (old humans) want to reclaim their home colonies taken by the cylons (now humans) millenniums ago and will nuke the colonies again in the future.

I think that (finally) explain why the last cylon wasnt important. This is not lost. "We" dont need a hang to keep watching an empty series. Galactica is more than that. By far.

If you try to remember how they get there, how Roslin was president and how she is ending, you will see how the character was developed. And thats just her.

We didnt expect either that kid wasnt the chief kid. And a lot less that was the hotdog kid, heh. She was pregnant when he was leading the revolution on that planet, and he didnt know that he was actually a cylon.

The series is about to end and I think that every episode is pure gold, because every character is saying good bye.

The biggest problem with your argument is that they hyped it up for 11 episodes about the one being revealed. If it wasn't that important, why couldn't D'anna just say that the fifth one is dead or who that person is? Hellen being the fifth, and dead, will have some kind of impact on the overall story, else why waste the potential? It doesn't make sense to make a dead character the key to a mystery if they're not going to somehow be crucial to the story.

That doesn't explain how Earth gets destroyed though. Next to that from what I understand the Cylon wars weren't with the ancient Cylons of Earth (old humans as you call them) but with new Cylons created by humanity (the old Cylons).

Am I still making sense here? :laugh:

It was a slow episode, but I think having the start of another mass mutiny will drive the show towards more answers.

From the web episodes, we saw two sixes involved in Gaeta's betrayal. So, it?s possible that more sixes still on the rebel Cylon ship knows about Gaeta?s involvement on New Caprica. I think as the mutiny goes on, the people following Gaeta will end up killing him once they figure out his crimes - Starbuck might have the finishing blo;) ;)

I don't think the Earth we've seen so far is the real deal!

Just reading through a sci-fi wire interview with some of the staff talking about their favourite moments

http://scifiwire.com/2009/01/battlestar-st...ies-moments.php

and Jamie Bamber (lee) says: "Actually, one of the best ones for me was the moment when after 60-something episodes we were all in the CIC; me, Eddie and Mary finally hear that we are in orbit of a planet that we think is Earth."

looking forward to seeing the next episode tomorrow :D

Damn, now that's Battlestar Galactica. I loved the tense atmosphere of the episode. I hope that soldier threw a flashbang instead of a grenade.

Of course it was a flashbang. Why risk blowing a hole in the ship when the door between them and that hole is partially open? Not to mention there's no way that's how one of the key characters would go :p

I hope it ends like The Shield does, where all the characters meet a fate that is not what they expected... if Galactica doesn't go down in a blaze of glory taking out the Cavils baseships, I'm gonna be sorely disappointed. :woot:

NO, I think you missed the point about cylons and humans fighting for ages. Peace is the way this will go, it is the only way the humans can live. Largely the fate of both are one. I want to see reckoning mentioned by Adama. I want Geta and Zerik to finally die and anyone who supported the mutiny. I would have shot the marine like starbuck wanted. This will be an exciting final season. I really would like another season.

yes, i loved it. It was great to see roslin show some real rage for once.

Yeah it is her fault that this happened. She should have seen the vacuum she was leaving.

Awesome show, much like season One. Five star episode.

The whole premise "all of this happened before and will happen again" and I think peace would ruin it, imo. I want to see a fight to the death, a unity of the survivors, and a fast forward to the beginning of the next cycle. Then they can reboot the series, new ship design, new faces, but the same roles, all over again. :yes:

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
