Was this last Dresden ep actually the pilot? (I haven\'t seen it yet.)

Skimmer!

What would you all have thought if they framed the episode differently and scripted it as a \"flashback\" episode?

With present day Harry as a quadriplegic, replaced by a new wizard captain played by William Shatner?

Le Nubian - you are so right! They would not have been on New Caprica if not for Baltar (and Zarek.)

But that means that the fleet would have all been together somewhere when Gina set off the nuke -- would that have caused greater loss of life?

The trial stuff was mostly boring. And would they have questioned Roslin about the death list? Why not have Gaete testify? He actually saw the thing. . . as did the Chief.

sumi,

I thought the fleet was pretty much together when she set off the nuke. She set it off right after Baltar's swearing in ceremony, I believe.

But wasn't most of the population already down on the planet?

Not yet, IIRC -- until Baltar announced the permanent settlement, they'd been restricting the numbers of who could be on-planet at any time pretty strictly (because they were just landing shuttles, not ships).

But if Roslin had remained President, I'm sure she would have either packed everyone off to keep moving, or, less likely, told those that wanted to remain planetside that the fleet would move on without them. I really think she would have forced the fleet to stay together, and we'd have gotten a bit of a civil unrest/war between those who wanted to stay and those willing to push on to Earth. Because I can't see Roslin being willing to split up the remnants of humanity and lose valuable ships and manpower with those who would choose to remain on New Caprica.

Loved Lee's fear as Laura pushed him to ask her why she was using chamalla again. Like he suddenly knew the answer and didn't want to hear it.

But boy oh boy, was Roslin a big B I T C H this ep!

And I really love how Adama is a big fat enabler with Tigh /sarcasm. Tigh can do no wrong no matter how badly he screws up, unlike other characters who get written off in his book *still has some love for Lee left*

The gazing between Tori and Anders? Hot. If D'Lee had had some of those moments leading up to their affair and marriage, maybe it would have sold better (or sold at all). The two moments we got for them left me cold.

So, I'm listening to the Galactica Watercooler podcast. And yes -- they brought up what I was thinking about that music w/more, you know, conciseness: what if everyone who hears the music is somebody who was at one time or another in Cylon prison on New Caprica and has been implanted with some sort of tracking device.

We don't know that Tory has been in custody but both Tigh and Anders have.

Oh, and if Scifi had aired "Storm Front" first, then Zenkitty would not have had a question to ask. (Well, I guess that I'm assuming that twol-clad Harry screencaps will make their way to the 'net.)

I guess that's one good thing to come out of this ep!
