It was actually kind of funny and charming, and then the twist end made me roll my eyes. NPH was great, and everyone else was fine.

I just don't know how long they are going to string us all along and expect us to care.

No whitefont in the spoiler thread!

Anyway.

OMGBSGPEGASUS!

This episode is AMAZING. When the last scene hit, I literally had no idea the show was about to end, and then I noticed the timecode at 42 minutes, and started whimpering and making helpless gestures at the TV. Just....wow.

Pegasus finds Galactica, and command is instantly handed over to Admiral Kane because she's the ranking officer. Roslyn finds this strange and awkward, but Adama assures her that in the military, that's just how things are. The Pegasus is a much more modern ship than the Galactica.

Admiral Kane, shockingly, turns out to be kind of a sadistic hardass. After going through Galactica's logs, she decides to integrate the crews, taking away the commands of both Adamas. Father and son are both unhappy. Lee and Kara get transferred to the Pegasus.

Before this happens, we also learn that the Pegasus has a Cylon prisoner on board too. Baltar is invited to examine her.

It's a Six.

She's lying on the floor, filthy and covered in cuts and bruises. She obviously hasn't eaten in days, and she's obviously been tortured. Watching Baltar and Mind!Six realize what/who they're looking at is absolutely wrenching.

Turns out that the Pegasus has been tracking a Cylon fleet that's been tracking the Colonial fleet, so Lee and Starbuck are sent on a recon mission with Pegasus' vipers. Well, until Starbuck tells the Pegasus CAG that his plan sucks during the briefing, and is kicked off the mission entirely. Lee is assigned to fly the CAG's raider. Ouch. So Starbuck, now with nothing to do, takes the Blackbird out to see if she can't one-up him.

While drinking with the Pegasus' XO, Tigh learns that Kane shot her old XO in the head for disobeying an order.

Baltar convinces Kane to let him deal with their Cylon prisoner his own way. He puts a plate of food on the floor in front of her, and just talks. This is his best scene in the entire series so far. For his sake, I really hope the room isn't bugged, but it probably is.

The now-integrated deck crews are drinking and laughing, only the Pegasus crews' jokes are mostly about how fun it would be to bang the Cylon prison-girls. Helo and the Chief put up with it until they realize that it's not entirely a joke, and that there's a Pegasus team interrogating Sharon right now.

They pull the officer off of her just as he's unzipping his pants, and Helo beats him to death against the cell walls. Oops. They are both instantly arrested and taken to the Pegasus for a court martial.

Adama is not happy. He wants the court martial on Galactica, as they're his officers. Kane tells him (in so many words) that she's the boss and he can go to hell if he doesn't like it.

Brief scene with Lee and the Pegasus CAG -- Lee's heart really isn't in this mission because of he now knows is happening with Helo and the Chief. The CAG doesn't give a crap. Starbuck is still out there somewhere with the Blackbird.

Adama gets a call -- the court martial is over. Helo and the Chief have been found guilty of treason, and will be executed.

So Adama gives Kane a call. And launches vipers.

Kane takes the call, and sees the vipers. She orders her ship to go to Condition 1.

So does Adama.

And that's the last thing that happens until January.

So it's a total McGuffin.

Total Groan.

Wow. BSG is a trip. I can't wait.

So....Desmond's in the hatch, but he's not Oz guy. Looks like that was a foiler.

Everybody Hates Hugo!! Oh no!

Sawyer is just fun to smack around isn't he?

Why no 2x2?

Lost:

First, in the "Lost" thread I posted a theory that I read on LJ:

Roussau's genetic mirror theory says that everyone in the world has an exact twin somewhere, however according to the theory you never encounter this person, by laws of probablitly and other natuaral occuring phemnomen. Its the theory that was devised by a French Mathematician named Marseille Roussau in the year 1988. He used a series of numbers to explain his theory. Now I know you're not going to believe this but here goes. 4 8 15 16 23 42 The 4 stands for 4 degrees of separation (not 6 or 7 as commonly stated.) Roussau believed that everyone in the world was connected by four different people. So in theory could meet yourself by using four different people connected to you. Example: Your brother's, boss's, neighbor nephew, knows your mirror. The 8 stands for the eight continent, or the only place in the world where you could meet your mirror. He calculated it to be somewhere in the south pacific. Now we know its not actually as large as the other contintents but its used figurtively because everyone in all 7 continents could meet there mirror on the 8th universal continent. The 15 stands for the chances of you acually meeting yourself on this place, as in 15 out of 4,815,162,342. Look at the second set "815." Ring any bells? Interesting huh? The 16 stands for the maximum amount of people that could encounter thier twin all at the same time. Think about the number of main characters. The 23 is the number of years apart your twin and yourself are. You are not the same age as your twin. By chance and probablity it takes 23 years exactly for the same genes that made you to be connected again to form another you. The 42 stands for the maximimum number of years your twin and yourself can be alive at the same time. However people do die at diffferent times so thats why everyone isn't dead at 75. For example my twin was born on Sept. 6 2003 b/c i was born on Spet. 6 1980. Now that doesn't mean i will die in the year 2045, I could, but its not set in stone. My twin could die when he is 16, and then the whole thing starts over.

Related to the above, here are pictures of 2 new cast members. In a couple of the comments, people seems to think that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is Walt's twin.

That's some hilarious shit.

Given that there's not a single cite for that which isn't Lost-related, i suspect someone is pulling yr leg.
