I wouldn't be surprised if there was some impeqachment stuff afoot, but we may just not have seen it yet. Perhaps the populace is deeply divided between impeaching Gaius and heading back into space and staying ton the planet and making it better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
FWIW, the podcast for this episode becomes increasingly less useful (at least to me) the more scotch that is consumed during the podcast. The first 30 minutes are interesting, but after that...eh.

that's too bad to hear - i'm about 15 minutes in and i just paused it to chat with my brother. i was hoping Moore's wife would make a reappearance.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So... you all liked it? I and the people I was sitting with all thought BSG was lame. Alias did it better, and with, okay, I won't say fewer holes, but it skipped over the holes with elan.
It seemed like 10 gallons stuffed into a 2-gallon hat, which meant a lot of texture got left out. Sort of like reading the headlines of a newspaper, without actually reading any of the articles.

Let's hope there are no Cylons 61 light-years from Earth....
If there are, let's hope they pause for a jump stage 26 light years out and Galactica 1980 terrifies them into fleeing forever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The one thing I didn't get is why Starbuck just let that Dean Stockwell cylon show up and it didn't raise any eyebrows.
I think he must have been with Anders' group all along, so Sharon was the only one who could have known he was a Cylon. (I don't see how they could have avoided Starbuck or Helo or any of the other pilots running into the other one of Galactica, but apparently they did.)
I love crazy President Baltar. I mean, I spent the last half hour of the show saying "THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA" to the screen (mostly Adama and Roslin), but wow, I had no idea how much.
It occured to me for the first time last night after the ep that there are 12 colonies and 12 Cylon models. [eta: because really, I'm not very bright most of the time] I wonder if they map to each other in any useful way. (So far I'm stuck on Six/Gemini. We just don't know enough about the rest of the colonies.)

I loved it - seriously. I saw in his LJ that P-C hated it and I was shocked. BUt Moore said on his podcast that people either love it or hate it.
eta: I'm still stuck on the ends v. means thing. I mean, it was such a bad idea to let Baltar win, but they were doing the right thing! Crazy! I like TV that can make me think this much. I"m not sure what the right thing was there. I mean, 10,000 people died in the year they were on New Caprica and now the remnant of humanity is under cylon control. But Adama/Roslin were doing the right thing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Any insight into the Cylon's plan? Why let Starbuck and friends off Caprica? Was the "truce" just a farse?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
BTW, I didn't LOVE it. I didn't HATE it either. I do wonder what next season will be like.

I don't know. On the one hand, stealing the election would have been a huge moral error, but on the other hand, the attitude of "Fuck humanity, they elected him and now they have to live with it" seems unbelieveably selfish and petty in light of how they've been running society up until that point.

I think most of those died in the nuclear blast.
