• 'Natalie' Six - Murdered by Athena.
• Pike - Shot in his Raptor while trying to chicken out.
• Cavil #1 - Neck snapped by an angry D'anna Biers.

so its back tonight whos pumped for some zany cylon blastin action

I'm kinda indifferent really...

That was a damn good episode. Not really any moments of HOLY SHIT AWESOME, but it was definitely worth the wait. I've never been happier to see a 'to be continued' at the end of an episode before either, the episode definitely seems like more setup for a large ongoing storyline, and that's exactly what I want out of my BSG.

Triple post because I can!

Also, anyone else distracted by Starbuck switching vipers in midflight?



I mean, yeah she seems to do it in the story, but she also makes a quick change between Crossroads II and He That Believeth in Me. Wouldn't have been so bad except they went straight from the 'previously on' into the action.

i enjoyed it.

BSG episode 4x02 - 'Six of One' airs today :D

That was a another damn good episode, in my opinion. It more or less ran on expected lines, especially after seeing the preview, but that's fine because it was still exactly what I wanted so see, with a couple of moments I never saw coming (like Roslin actually trying to kill Starbuck and the two Baltars).

One thing I still don't get though. Why the hell would you need a sewage treatment ship in space? And if they actually do need it, why are they able to send it off on a mission?

The Cylon stuff didn't really make sense to me.

They were saying how no Cylon has ever gone against it's number before - but isn't that exactly what Boomer did when she joined the BSG crew and Xena when she was boxed?

Good job they removed that

AND THEY HAVE A PLAN. from the titles.

Did they ever have one? <_<


Good episode. Adama really layed it into Laura when he had the chance. Was great! :D

I get more and more unhappy when I realise this is the last season though.

I think they meant that no Cylon has ever voted against their model. Athena didn't vote, she just left, and I don't remember the D'anna models ever disagreeing with each other at all.

I've always hated Cally.

Good job.

good riddance :fu:

Agh, fucking TV series. In the previews they make it look like Tory is going to murder Cally in an airlock. Then in the actual episode they turn it around and Tory's actually there to save her :)

But it's a trick and she actually does kill her :(

Fucking TV series :(

I've just watched Battlestar Galactica 4x04 - Escape Velocity.

Despite the title it wasn't as fast moving as I'd hoped. On the plus side... Racetrack survived! :)

Also the scene with Baltar trying to get into his room near the end seemed to be a metaphor for his arc in the series.

He starts off standing up, the consequences of his actions knock him down.
But a mysterious miraculous force helps him pull himself up.
And he gets knocked back down harder.
And the mysterious miraculous force drags him back up again to get knocked down once more.

And it's all part of the plan.

The Road Less Travelled... better than the last two episodes in my opinion, but still not great. I don't think we need any more episodes about Tyrol's grief though.

Good:
Baltar showed up.
Starbuck is actually doing things and communicating with people.
Helo's beat down.
Anders' foot to Leoben's face.
Someone going for Baltar's neck. Again.

Bad:
MATHIAS! :(
Dragged on far longer than it had to.
It'd be nice if Athena would give us some Cylon info for once, or at least chat with one of the captured Cylons. She's known them longer than anyone.
The cliffhanger ending was revealed in last week's preview, and is resolved in this week's preview. In fact the entire plot of this episode was revealed in the preview.

I found the last episode a bit meh really.

Faith... a definite return to form to me. I didn't think I'd ever be so happy to get an episode without Tyrol.

Good:
Stuff happening.
No Tyrol!
They explained why they couldn't just use a Raptor in the last episode.
Aftermath of the Civil War.
Cylon alliance.
Athena talks to cylons about things!
We get to see a jump from the inside.
The 'comet', Six's execution, the centurion freaking out... in fact all the A plot scenes were great.
Adama shows up again.
The colonials have a proper mission to do, to unbox the threes.
The final five are from Earth!

Bad:
The Roslin scenes were not exactly pleasant to sit through.

boooring ep

You thought it was more boring than the last few episodes?

Episode 4x07 - Guess What's Coming to Dinner

Awesome episode, with only a little bit too much of Gaeta's singing and out of character Six murder.

Good:
Jump!
Baltar's back.
The visual effects this episode were amazing, especially the scene where the base ship jumps in.
The irony of a Cylon taking a half Cylon from a Cylon escorted by a Cylon, for a Cylon.

Bad:
Athena, what the fuck? Why do mothers keep freaking out and trying to murder people on this series?
No discussion about the mutiny. I didn't want or expect half of them to get thrown in a brig over it, but it'd be nice to get a line explaining why they didn't.

Episode 4x08 - Sine Qua Non

Good episode, not 'omfg amazing!', but definitely good.

The Good
Great visuals, lots of looking out of windows at cool vfx.
Romo's back.
Adama vs. Tigh!
Admiral Tigh.
Husker back in the cockpit.
President Adama.
Starbuck back doing her job.

The Bad
Uh, some of the editing seemed a little off.
"She was trying to steal my baby!"

The Interesting
Seems that we know the reason why Tigh was wearing Admiral pins a couple of eps back.
If Tigh and Six can have a kid, then Cylons CAN reproduce with each other.
So, the Colonials used to have a language called Latin too huh.

Episode 4x09 - The Hub

Great episode, though maybe suffers from being a little too predictable.

The Good
Baltar and Roslin completely owning the episode.
Helo still showing everyone what a good person looks like.
8 running the show.
3 coming back in style.
Cavil's back.
The amazing attack vfx.
The awesome music.
Baltar trying to convert a Centurion.
Roslin letting Baltar die.
"You know about the final five, but you don't know you're one of them?"
Adama making putting a seat belt on look badass.
"I love you" "About time"

The Bad
The preview for next week. Bastards gotta spoil everything!
The Centurion died :<
More visions? Better be a damn good explanation for this somewhere down the line.

The Interesting
Both the Cylon leaders are now dead. Now an 8 seems to be leading the rebels, maybe Boomer could be leading the main group too?
