BSG: That was a crazy turn of events! Not sorry Cally is gone, but it was a total HS moment! In re: Starbuck and Sam's encounter, a little "frak" goes a long way. That got really silly IMO. I'm glad Adama made nice with Roslin. I'm tired of shitheel Lee.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Yes, but during QE II's reign he's been quite the force for good.
From the very first day, in fact!

This was mentioned over at TWOP and now I'm wondering if it's right: what if Cally is the final Cylon? There are things she mentioned that could apply to Galen but could equally apply to her: she told Doc Cottle that things had been off since they entered the Nebula. (Could be because of what Galen was going through - or it could be something she was going through herself.) The music when she was spying on Tigh, Tyrol and Tory was very Final Fiveish (could be because of them only or because of her too) and finally, when she was freaking out at Tory one of the things she said was "Trigger!" - -- what else could that be referring to?
If she is the final Cylon - could she still be alive? Do they die as quickly in space as humans?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think she's the fifth. I wouldn't be surprised if she was having trouble sleeping because her son was - being half cylon and all. Not to mention her husband was fucked up.
If she is the 5th, they are going to have to explain how the birth of the baby came to be...
It wouldn't surprise me, however, if Cally were like Starbuck. Assuming Starbuck isn't the 5th. Something is up with Starbuck - yet I don't believe she is a cylon.

From a narrative pov, if she was the final Cylon, she wouldn't be dead. They need the big reveal, and the interpersonal shock of the fifth's exposure.
We're running out of possibilities: at this point I wouldn't put it past Moore to make it Roslin or Adama.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Forgive me for not paying much attention--what do we get of BSG once this season is over? A spinoff series? With who?

But, she could be NOT dead and we wouldn't need to find out 'til much later that a hybrid had sensed that one of the final five were in trouble and jumped in to save her after the fleet had moved on.

Prequel - called "Caprica" and it's still all in the planning stages.

sumi, I would be really pissed off by that if it were to happen. Also, they showed us her looking pretty dead.
ita, I seem to recall there's a spinoff set on Caprica either between the two wars or during the first war. Dunno why that's a story that needs telling, but whatever.
At this point I'm mostly watching for the wtf factor.

The evil is this way?
I can totally understand Tory killing Callie. (At various points I've found that character so grating, I've wanted to kill her.) She's acting to protect herself and the others. It's Tory waiting until Callie was awake and aware that she was about to be airlocked that was particularly disturbing.
