I'm hoping the cylons DON'T bring back Co. Tigh's AWFUL wife as one of them. I thought that was the ballsyest thing he's ever done on the series. Now, Starbuck needs to buck-up and move on past the kid, grab a cigar and start playing cards. Hmmm...almost where they were before "New Caprica" minus the poor Pegasus, of course.

I don't know if Starbuck will ever grab a cigar again, I had read that Katee Sackhoff quite smoking at the end of season two and had it writen in that Starbuck would stop smoking as well. Of course, I haven't heard anything concrete. But I'm liking the new Starbuck!

Since the show is supposed to be focused on the idea that there is only one Battlestar, hence the title, it is only fitting that the Pegasus would not be around forever. I'm surprised the writers held on to it for as long as they did.

Pegasus went out like a champ. What a great scene it was watching her take out two basestars during her death throes. That little moment when Lee says thank you was just the icing on the cake.

A-fracking-men. God, what an episode.
Select to view spoiler:
Ellen! Oh gods... what can I say? I always enjoyed Ellen. She was fun. And then... she finally loved Tigh the way he always loved her. Whatever happened during the year we missed, something... and she loved him, but she still frakked up. And now... Ellen!
If BSG doesn't get the effects emmy this year -- or at LEAST get nominatated, and that is a generous LEAST -- then there is something wrong witht he universe. The effects in this episode where completely amazing.
There were just so many little moments that made this episode amazing:
- Laura taking her chair back, heck yeah! "I'm ready to leave now."
- The mind-frak at the end with starbuck's kid. I knew it COULDN'T be her kid, and was really anxious as to how they were going to end the storyline. They did well.
- D'Anna/Three deciding not to set of the nuke after the found baby Hera, aka the poptart.
- Geata and the gun.
But, despite all that, and the AWESOME battle scenes, but favortie part of the episode still goes to Tigh and Ellen. Kate Vernon's preformance was amazing, the best she's ever given. Michael Hogan's was so understated, sad. I understand why he had to do it. What she did was, to him, unforgivable. And not just to him, for all of the resistance. If he didn't kill her now, she would have suffered a much worse fate at the hands of the rightous survivors, and then died anyway. So, in a way he spared her, but it hurt him so much, and she'd dead, and... ah! Ellen! I miss her. :-(

I am loving this show. I don't understand how it has made it to its third season and this is the first I've heard of it.
With that in mind, would one of you nice Browncoats answer a couple of questions for me? And forgive me if I don't yet have the lingo down pat...
1. Are the "skin jobs" physiologically indistinguishable from the humans? I mean, even upon autopsy, is there no difference?
2. Are the Cylons networked together? If one witnesses an event, are they all aware of said event? *I'm on track with downloading, but that's not what I mean*
3. What was with mustache shaving? Is that BSG's version of a playoff beard?
Thanks.

The writers have beens omewhat inconsistant on this issue. In the mini-series, Gaius Baltar said that if you analyze them enough, then you can see they are synthetic, but he might have been talking about of his ass. He did develop some sort of cylon detection method, but it was a long and tedious process, and somewhere along the way it seems to have been abandonned. However, during surgery.autopsy, they appear to be exactly the same. I think. I'm pretty sure.

As far as I can tell, no, they are not. Cylons are not the borg. In Exodus 1, the resistance choses not to kill the borther Cavill model, because they fear he will download and tell the others. If they were all networked, they he wouldn't need to download to tell the others. So, no, they aren't exactly networked.

Uh... what's a playoff beard? The shaving of the 'stache means that the old Adama is back, baby! He's returning to his old role, picking up the burdens he had layed to rest when they settled on New Caprica. It's a metaphorical thing. And also awesome.

Yeah, now that I think about it, that was a dumb question. Now, I remember last week's episode where the cute little asian injured, but did not kill another Cylon in the hope of preventing knowledge of her presence from being disseminated.
Does this apply to the "bullet heads" (term for the metal Cylons, I think) as well?

LOL. In many sports, when a team makes the playoffs, players will not shave until they win the championship or are knocked out. From you explanantion, this sounds (to me) quite similar. That is, if Olmos didn't have the mustache before the settlement of New Caprica.
Thanks again.

IIRC, Baltar's cylon detection method was abandoned after he gave Sharon a clean bill of health, only for her to turn out to be a cylon after all when she shot Adama. But the test was actually correct, Baltar lied about the results after prompting from phantom Six. I seem to recall it was also revealed at some point - before they abandoned the program outright - that Baltar had decided to pronounce everyone who was tested as clean. I'm not sure that his full motivation for this was ever explained.
The biggest inconsistency as far as I'm concerned is that it's kind of hard to imagine that they're physiologically indistinguishable when we also saw in the miniseries that when you frak one of them, her spine glows. Just how exactly could that happen with a completely human anatomy?
