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:

That wouldn't be good. but would keep with the story line alright. I'd rather they break the cycle. I wouldn't want to see the same thing over and over. Think of horror story sequels.

I hate that word so much it makes me want to hurt the actors every time they say it

something is definitely wrong with you. stop watching the show and don't post.

Am I the only one who agrees with the mutineers? I mean Roslin completely abadoned her post...again.. and once again Adama ignores the rightful VP of the colonies just because he feels like it, but then when the situation is reversed he screams bloody murder. I wished they had blown him away when they got him in the bridge.

Everything they are doing is just what Zerik said, it's like a family trying their hardest to hold onto power and it's just crazy. The fleet has put up with them for seven years and they have produced nothing but failure after failure, so it's understandable why people wouldn't want to listen to them anymore. IMO this show would be doing a great disservice by killing Geta or Zerik, because recently i've found myself agreeing with everything they said.

Failure after failure? Such as avoiding death/capture by the cylons numerous times, scanning every system they come across for inhabitable planets, finding Earth (which, at the beginning of the show, was thought to be nothing but a fairy tale), or dealing with the crises that arise from their generally terrible situation? If those are failures, what could they do that you would consider successful?

?? I thought it was just 4 years so far..

Great episode though, can't wait for next week's.

Geta said 7 years in this last episode, i thought it would be 4 too, but apparently within the show it's 7.

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
Fraking awesome episode.

Its just a smoke grenade going off - they aren't going to kill off two main characters just like that. haha...

I guess you're both right. It's a lame way to get rid of two of the best known characters in Battlestar Galactica.

Adama is a total BADASS!

Indeed he is. The way he "snapped" was so epic. I totally didn't expect that from Edward James Olmos.

Well you had at least 18 months that were skipped between season 2 finale and season 3 openers that took place on New Caprica before the cylon occupation. Surely, there are other arcs in the storyline between episodes and events.

It's been about 4-5 years now since the first exodus. I believe he was referring to the seven years he has served under Adama now not the time since the attack on the colonies. Last week said four years I believe. Earlier in the season Zarek said five years so it's somewhere inbetween.

Good episode but I think the end was abrupt.

I don't get it. How can Roslin's shuttle be gunned down? Lee Adama and Starbuck were also on it right

Also if they were then it was pretty stupid how Lee would let Adama pick a fight while he himself would chicken out?

edit: just saw the preview for next episode

Adama is not dead and Roslin is also alive. Roslin has taken refuge in the cylon ship and I really hope there's a show-down between Gallactica and the Cylon ship . Adama might die in the next one (which will be annoying imo :( )

lee and kara went back the way they came through the passage

Praise be to Sci-Fi :) we are lagging far behind with Battlestar S4 but last weekend, Sci-Fi fast tracked all the current episodes including the lastest one aired in the US last weekend (and in the coming weeks is airing the next episodes hours after the US), had a good weekend catching up on S4 :happy:

Possibly, I don't agree with the mutineers at all. To me they are proving that the Humans are worse then the Cylons! they are risking the survival of the human race over what is essentially racism. Yes, the Cylons attacked the 12 colonies and nearly wiped out the entire Human race, however, I vaguely recall it was revealed the original Cylon attack was actually a retaliation? or did I imagine that? Regardless of the motives of the attack, these rebel Cylons are risking everything with the alliance, turning their back on their own kind and siding with the enemy. Not to mention providing information (and assistance) in providing a rather hard blow to the Cylon war effort. The mutineers are panting with a very wide brush with their views, it's like condemning every German for the end of time for what Hitler did...is that fair? or cause not and so why should this be any different. This is only what I think, so take with a grain of salt!

Anyway, I can't wait for the next episode! :D

EDIT: I just though of a good (or maybe it's just utter crap) final twist for the series. Have it the mutineers win, the rebel Cylons either destroyed or return back to the other Cylons and any Human that supported the Human/Cylon alliance is either executed or locked away. Then do something like "6 months later" (or maybe a year or two which ever works) and show them drifting through space, with no fuel left and no hope of making it to a habitable world (as they needed the Cylon tech to improve their chances) and then having a fleet of Basestars jump in and then fade to black, the end....I dunno now, seems kinda crap now that I wrote it down :p

i dont think it sounds like crap....this sounds like crap (as a lil add on to your ending).... before it goes black the basestar launches a ton of nukes at the ship, fades to black.... then goes to the morning before the decommission of galactica, as it was all an adama nightmare

and yes the attack was retaliation from a mission adama lead, i think, 2 years before the attack... he sent "bulldog" across the line and got caught by the cylons, but shot bulldog down before, but bulldog ejected and was caught anyways.... bulldog "escaped" from the cylon cell and hijacked a cylon fighter and went back to galactica where tigh told him what happened and he tried to kill adama but tigh stopped him and bulldog took off to another ship but before he left adama gave him a flight suit, bulldog said no, adama said "once a pilot always a pilot"...

Starbuck will ride him til she climaxes and then shoot Geata in his other extremities until she kills him. She's a ###### like that. ;)

I'd hit it. (Y)

...

Anyways, who says Gaeta will die? Just because he's done what he's done doesn't mean he's gonna die, or even get killed by Starbuck or something. Sure you guys WANT him to die now, but for dramatic purposes, maybe they have other plans for him?

I guess we'll find out what will maybe happen in about 2 hours or so :D

    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
