I enjoy Zarek, so I hope he makes it. Cally, on the other hand, has never done much for me. I'm open to that changing, of course. But it seems she'll make it.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

OMG, Skiffy does fan vids. And Colin wins the "Beyond Cool" award for ask and ye shall receive.
The line, my friends, between producers and consumers, has winked into non-existence. And this can only be a good thing.
OTOH, my side of the frakking pond is still waiting for the bloody BSG ahem. I'm just going to go find a neckbrace for the whiplash I got checking back with the board too soon :)

Oh, interesting scenario. I hadn't thought of that (obviously). I don't think I'd bet against it either. Hmmm.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Bwuh? Married? Geez, is everyone married now?
I was thinking the same thing.
What did Anders just say to Sharon?
Anybody? I missed a lot of the quieter lines tonight, but I didn't want to turn it up further for fear of disturbing the neighbors.

That could be right. I could totally see the Cylons going "President Baltar ordered you executed, but we decided to show mercy." Especially since they were originally talking about doing the execution in a very public space. So why then drag them out into the middle of nowhere?
Though I would like to know why the Cylons felt it neccessary to put hoods on all the prisoners except the ones that are major characters.
And will she kill Sharon Agathon?

Different Sharon.
My question is why didn't they tell Duck "If Baltar isn't there, don't blow yourself up?" if they were planning on aborting if they were told he wasn't going to be there.

What did Anders just say to Sharon?After the hug? He said "I feel like I see you every day."

Ah. Heh.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Yeah, there were some pretty dumb plot holes, but overall I still stayed glued to the edge of my seat. The Cylons were pretty stupid for machines (for leaving the military and civilian authority figures in the general population, for not realizing themselves that Gaeta would be a turncoat, for committing their mass public execution designed to stomp out the resistance out in the middle of nowhere, and aren't machines supposed to be good at logic and surveillance? Sheesh, I feel like Hogan's Heroes could have organized a successful resistance against these toaster numbnuts), but luckily humanity is even a bit dumber, I guess. I mean, as stupid as the resistance was to fail to communicate contingency plans, the mere fact that they could have built their city in a woodland paradise a mere hop, skip, and jump away, but chose instead the Slough of Despond means that humanity is doomed. DOOOOOOMED.
Oh, and the ethical choices given to the characters were kinda lame. Wait, Baltar signed the form and saved his skin? Didn't see that coming. Oh, Starbuck rejected the child, but when she got hurt through no fault of Starbuck's, embraced her false family? Wow, and I thought she was so strong (and sidebar here, but seriously, the Greeks got this shit right on: given this choice, a Classic Greek tragic heroine would have murdered the child and served it to Leoban for dinner, asking "how you love me now?"). If the makers of the show wanted to really draw the parallels, they should have had more collaborators talking about their ethical choices (what with the shades of Nazi occupation) and more Cylons discussing theirs (because of the obvious parallels to our own illustrious philosopher-king).
