If Dubya is the Fifth Cylon, I will shoot my television dead.
Oh, I don't want him to be the 5th, but think it would be fitting if he started the mess that lead to that version of Earth.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I have absolutely nothing to say about this week's U.K. episode of Who.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I'm glad they went with Planet of the Apes Earth instead of Galactica 1980 Earth.
I was waving my hands at the screen shouting "PAN TO A LANDMARK, DAMNIT!" during that last shot. It's probably better that they didn't, but I was itching to see where they were.
I almost made some rubble into the Sydney Opera House, but then decided they went the route of not giving us a location. Does this mean it can still be Earth's distant past as likely as the future due to lack of landmark recognition?

Many people over at TWOP are convinced that they landed in New Jersey - right across from NYC.

It was... odd. Bit of a downer, really.

They just thought that they were seeing Manhattan across that river. (Is Hoboken right outside of New York?)
Okay, so - seeing what they saw. . . does that necessarily mean that no people are alive on that planet (Earth, if that's where it is)? I mean, couldn't the Final Cylon be in a group of survivors somewhere on the planet?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
We still haven't had answered WHO sent Kara back in the "special" Viper, so presumably there's more to this Earth than we're seeing. Somebody REALLY wanted them to get there.

Hoboken, New Jersey City, etc are on the west side of Manhattan, but isn't it all tunnels unless you go further south or north to the Verazzano or the GW bridges, in which case I'm not sure if you'd still have a significant view of Manhattan.
I'm just thinking that it would be funny if they were in Hoboken, because that name never fails to make me crack up. Maybe they could be in Cheesequake, home of the cheesecake-loving Quakers (why did I move to NJ again?)
I was kinda intrigued by Leoben's reaction to Earth (hell, I'll admit that everything Leoben/CKR does intrigues me). Sure, everyone was generally in shock and horrified, but they were looking at their surroundings for the most part. And there's Leoben, planted squarely towards the camera, gazing at the ground, like more than the dream of an ideal new home had been taken from him. He had a lot more invested in finding Earth than just a place to stop running, there was Kara, and the special destiny, and the streams and God and everything --and they'd better run with this somehow next year because I hate speculating on stuff that's just a throwaway.

So the Agatha Christie Doctor Who was quite amusing (I was hoping her disappearance was going to turn out to be because they had to whisk her away in the Tardis, but oh well). However, my pedant heart sank early on when Agatha showed up at the party and they inquired about Mr. Christie, when Agatha's philandering husband was Colonel Christie. Oh well, minor point, but it nagged.
