Wacky theory: maybe Kara's viper disassembled on the Galactica side of the nebula and re-assembled on the earth side.

Hmmm...I don't know if this has been formally announced:

"Next month, I'm in the studio working on the Battlestar Galactica Season 3 soundtrack album (which will definitely have All Along the Watchtower on it!). Our release date will be mid-August, to coincide with the DVD release."

The question is, will it be two half-seasons like 2 and 2.5 or will it be one big set. Can't wait...nor can I wait until 2008. I mean 2008? On a positive note, gives me plenty of time to catch up my friends.

As far as this week's episode, it was fantastic. I'm not going to post my theories, because they're pretty similar and somewhat unfounded right now. However, it was awesome before the song was revealed, Tigh was like "there must be some kind of way out of here," which sorta made sense during the scene, especially coming from Tigh. But I was like, "hey, that's from Watchtower," and just kept on watching. I'm sure all of you shared my surprise when the lyric continued with the characters.

The Admiral redeemed himself in my eyes, although we still need the formal apologies, aka a hug, to bring Lee and Bill back together. And Romo's (Mark Sheppard) "Usual Suspects" exit was awesome...just like his character.

I was just at another board checking some stuff out when someone posted a really great theory.

For those of us that have watched the original series you might have noticed that the new series somewhat mirrors it.
Well I don't think anyone has mentioned the white glowy god like aliens in the original series.
Seems like maybe they are trying to portray the original 5 as maybe these aliens. Any thoughts?

Eh? Yes, that's is definately a wacky theory.

Anyway, just piped in to say Roslins connection to the hybrid baby is the blod transfusion that cured here first bout of cancer...

If it caused any "other" changes in her as well as curing the cancer, that might explain her inclusion with the shared visions.

Augh! iTunes still doesn't have the episode. I'm spoilering myself to death here.

I'm just saying: everybody's saying she "resurrected" on Earth. What if she didn't? What if she never died in the first place? Plus, I'm just happy my "there was no funeral" thing worked out.

all interesting... I read somewhere (sorry cannot recall where) that indeed RDMoore prefers 13 episode seasons.. SciFi DID renew for 22 next year, rumor is he may make NEXT year the last season.. so 22 is ALMOST 26... and maybe there would be less filler (as there has been)

we didn;t necessarily see Starbuck's ship explode.. we saw fireworks,,, but that could be re entry into the nebula... or.. is Starbucks just in Lee's head? His head starbuck a la Baltar's head 6??? She was all calm and peacful, not the stress kitten who went up in that maelstrom episode...

They said they would show who the cylons were.. the last five, but to MY MIND they still have not made it clear. so they are frakin with us.. and I don't mind.

I HOPE Romo comes back.. usual suspects indeed.. love the little homages...

This episode. It made me produce a highpitch noise in the back of my throat, and I don't make high pitched throat noises very often. It was fan-fraking-tastic. I must hand it to RDM. The season was occassionally uneven, but when it comes time to deliver this show does. Every single time.

I just can't get over how good this show is. Remember how shocking it was when Adama was shot? Or when they flashforwarded a year and a half later?

Those just don't compare to this.

I mean, seriously. Tigh, Anders, Tory, and Tyrol are cylons? Starbuck is back from the dead? Six, Roslin, and Athena are walking together in vision-land? This is going to change the fabric of the show. It just will.

Nevermind the whole "It's going to be okay. I've been to Earth. I know where it is. I'm going to lead us there."

Fan-fraking-tastic.

I must tip my hat to Jamie Bamber -- he has been utterly amazing in these last four or so episodes. This season in general he has really stepped in up, going from a character I like only sometimes and get annoyed by quite often to becoming compelling, even vital.

So many good little things:
And, oh... Bill and Laura on the phone! Aww.

Geata really fraking hates Baltar. He's the most straighlaced character ever, but for Baltar he will attempt murder and lie on the stand.

Laura knowing that Caprica was part of the dream by the look on her face.

Baltar actually saying "How am I going to survive?" Hehehehe. Its been the driving force of his character forever, and he finally spoke it aloud. How delightful.

And big things:
I admit, I guessed who three of the four final fivers were last episode and I spent all week wondering how Tigh especially was going to take it. I just couldn't see how he could live with himself. But, he did, and his speach about how realizing he was a cylon doesn't change who he is at all was one of the best Galactica moments yet.

Baltar deserved to be aquited, for all the reasons Lee listed and more. I am very exciting to see what will become of him. Caprica's role in the Opera House visions is the same as his from s1, so no doubt he will come into play as far as that storyline is concerned, though right now I think that is head-Baltar at her side, not real Baltar. Still... what about head Baltar, huh? And head Six. I have a feeling that they and the opera house visions will be connected to the final five.

Starbuck's alive! She's alive! Yayayayayay! I have read a few interview with Ron Moore that lead me to beleive she is not going anywhere! Then again, after "Maelstrom" I listened to his podcast and wa convinced she was really dead, so maybe I can't trust him. Still...

Quote:

TVWeek: After "killing" one of the most popular characters on the show, Starbuck, she reappears in the last scene in the March 25 finale. Does that mean she'll be back for season four?
Mr. Moore: Yes, definitely.

TVWeek: Katie Sackhoff [who plays Starbuck] made it sound in media interviews as if she's off the show and getting new jobs. Was that part of the ruse?
Mr. Moore: We were trying to walk a very fine line. She was very careful how she phrased it. We wanted people to feel the loss. We didn't want to put Katie in the position of lying to people. She did look for other work and is getting other work -- just other work that won't interfere with her "Battlestar" commitments.

Looks like the Bear McCreary thing has already been mentioned, so I won't talk about that. I will share links to Ron Moore interviews, though (including the one with the above quote).

I have to reiterate on this, because I feel strongly for some reason: we don't know that they're Cylons. The final five weren't revealed. They remained cloaked the whole time. So as far as I'm concerned, the identities of the final five remain an open question. If they have multiple Tyrols and Tighs walking around, then I'll believe it. But you have to admit, it is very much like them to do some misdirection. Have us convinced that we know the final five only to find out that they are not who we thought. Think Pegasus--it looked at the cliffhangar like there was going to be a rumble; but no. I guess I'm just saying, people are leaping to the conclusion that these are the final five (of twelve, I might note, so please stop talking about the other "8") is completely unwarranted as far as the evidence we have goes.

"Get your fat, lazy ass out of that rack, Roslin!"
"Sir, yes, sir. . ."

Even if nothing else had happened during that episode, I'd have loved it just for that.
