My question exactly... How the frak am I going to wait that long!!??

Does it have something to do with the movie they're making to be out in the fall and having ordered the 22 more eps for the next season?

...Is there a former thread discussing this?

Guessing here, but Season 4 only got the greenlight within the past 4 weeks, and so that doesn't give much lead time if they were to start in September. Plus I'm sure the movie (which was already approved) has a lot to do with it.

There's bunches of threads. I've loved how everybody has split it into episode by episode, that has really helped the discussions be productive and nonspoilerish.

Causal, that's right, January 2008, but that's wrong, they're doing a full season of 22 episodes.

Also, I'd heard somewhere that because it won't start back up until January '08, there'll only be 13 season-4 eps. Got any good sources/links?

Yeah.. I do.

Hee hee! I finally got one theory right! Yay me! I kept saying, "But Roslyn gave a sweeping pardon..." and it was totally brought up. Of course, I despise the Baltar character, and it wouldn't hurt me one bit if he found some street justice along his book tour...Well, the story would suffer though, so I gues therefore so would I.

My wife and I were discussing the "four" cylons. It seemes to me that they are just too convenient. While I have kinda held the belief that Tyrol was a cylon (the whole, "I don't know what forced me to walk this mile in no discernible direction to find the Temple of the Five" was just too odd to me), it could almost be said that they could have undergone some form of brain-washing that they don't remember on New Caprica. While we never actually saw all of them in the detention facility, it's not totally out of the question. They were all in the resistance after all.

Just my 2 cents and all-in-all a great episode.

Have to disagree slightly here, I thought the first 5 episodes were very good (well, episode 3 maybe not so much), after which it started to drag a bit for a while. And then the string of filler episodes in the mid-teens, which I liked but I don't think anybody else did.

Worst aspects of the season for me: cheesy basestar scenes, and the rushed feel of 'Rapture', an episode that had great potential but didn't deliver because it tried to deliver too much. Apart from that I thought the season was quite good.

Thanks for the link! Very, very helpful to hear Ron's reasoning behind using the Dylan song.

I have to second this being the best show on TV, and that the beginning and end of the season were the best parts, while dragging in the middle. I've heard that Moore only wants to make 13 episode seasons but scifi keeps ordering 22. Kinda blows to know that we're getting filler for no good reason but greedy execs.

The movie sounds great, but two hours of BSG in nine months just won't give me my fix.

"My thoughts.

The 5 cylons are broken off from the rest of the Cylons, hence why the 8 never talk about them. They are free thinkers and don't agree with the cylon way of thinking. Kara resurected at Earth and came back via the nebula. The 4 that we saw's Lock or whatever was programmed to disengage once they hit that nebula, I think they are good guys. That being said Hera isn't the only Cylon/Human hybrid, what about Ty and Ellen's son?"

This pretty much seems to be along my line of thought, though not sure about Kara resurrecting, I certainly think she might be the last cylon, but I think that would be abit too obvious. They said they would announce who 4 of the cylons are and they did as far as we know, it would be too easy just to say Kara's the last one. Is Kara back though? Her ship didn't seem to stay very solid, but she's definitely less dead than she was so that's certainly fine by me. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens, even if I have to wait over half a year again to find out.
Also, on a more personal note I thought this episode was fantastic, the music worked perfectly and I couldn't really say much against it.

So I'm going to ramble a little here on the episode.

The trial went pretty much the way I thought it would with Adama being accused of not being a inpartial judge, but Lee Adama's testimony was a good wrap up of the show since the beginning. I agreed with him that Baltar was not guilty of treason in the way he was charged. But I also agree with Roslin, that not guilty does not mean innocent.

With the music meeting of Tigh, Tyrol, Samuel Anders and Tory Foster, I am still not convinced that they are Cylons. Though we know little about Tory's background, the others have definate history predating the creation of the skin job cylons. Especailly the history between Saul Tigh and Bill Adama.

This would also make Galen and Cally Tyrol's baby another human-cylon hybrid. Chief Tyrol also had the spiritual experieces on the algee planet, something that cylons would of not known for him to be implanted with the memories.

I think they share a connection, but of a different source. Maybe the proximity to the nebula is affecting them in some way or they share a destiny not unlike what happened to Kara Thrace. Tyrol suspected he was cylon before, and that is why he was the one to offer up the explination that they are cylons. Roslin, Hera, Athena, and Caprica 6 also share some sort of bond that is unexplained. I doubt Roslin is a cylon because of her medical condition.

Then there is the fleetwide loss of power, which originated from two possible sources. The nebula again is doing something wierd, or I have long suspected Gaeta is a sleeper cylon agent and he transmitted a virus with the jump prep codes to the fleet.

I think the nebula, the fleetwide power outage, the Roslin/Athena/6 visions and the meeting of Tigh/Anders/Tory/Tyrol are all related.

The worst thing for me was the end of the season notice, I thought it was going to go at least 3 or 4 more episodes. 10 months is a very long time to wait.

This was nothing short of mind-blowing. Galactica's finest hour.

And, minor datapoint: Kara (assuming she's really there) couldn't have resurrected on Earth. She was in a viper, which are only available in the Colonies, or from a Basestar that scooped some up during the invasion (like the raptor Athena reclaimed after rescuing Hera).

I agree she was in a viper and we saw her viper explode, but boy her viper sure looked shiny and new. Maybe something she was given to travel home in after she ressurected.
After reading all the replys theres alot of things brought up that make you go hmmm. Such as The Chiefs baby being a Cylon/human hybrid.
I guess maybe its too convienant that the 4 are the cylons, they NEVER showed us the cylons in the opera house, soooo........
