How creepy, that she found it while being accompanied by the cyclon who had that very strange fling with her. You know, back when she was captured (On Caprica?) and he fooled her into thinking she'd had a daughter.

She even had experimentation done on her at an earlier point. Yeah - I feel like she's been pretty seriously messed with. And it is a bummer. I miss the bad attitude bigger-than-life hot shot pilot she was in season 1.

My other question: are we absolutely certain that that was earth? They were led there by the aforementioned messed-with Starbuck, after all.

hmm-burble-blah, blah-blah-blah, take a left

Yes, back to actual sensible discussions!

I hadn't thought about the idea of the body being a plant actually, I had always assumed she died and was not-to-trusting of the "starbuck" that came back.
It definitely was creepy (and a highlight of the episode, which in of itself was already pretty damn fantastic)
It really does feel like the show is moving towards an end and I'm so excited. Most of the shows I've been a fan of, if they had been given a chance to sum things up, only do so in the last couple of episodes. Its only now that I realise 10 episodes is perfect, because its still BSG doing what it does best, having great momentum without feeling overly rushed.

And for the record, I'm coming over to the line of thinking some fans are having that maybe Adama is the "dying leader" prophesied about.
If he's to lead the crew to Earth, then who knows. Maybe that wasn't Earth we saw in the past couple of episodes

However what is not cool is the way the treated us and rigged this so called fair game. A number of people who logged on here from Skiffy claiming to be browncoats but were really a bunch of turncoat informants. A good chunk of the battlestar fan group behaved like immature assholes, once Serenity got ahead of Battlestar many of them turned into turncoat informants and many of us here got our emails blocked.

I don't take kindly into being lured to a site only to have my email blacklisted
this battlestar fan group taunted us to skiffy but once Serenity started flying the Battlestar drones started bitching about us. The galacticans, tossers, ginoids....whatever you call 'em acted like immature little brats who got their scifi website buddies to give many of us browncoats a lot of grief over nothing.

I have a right to be pissed with getting my mail blocked and you can see this battlestar immaturity repeated as 'browncoat' Storymark responds to my grievances and criticism with

Dudes and Dudettes, I have a right to be pissed. I got spammed, my email black listed, server blocked all for taking part in a stupid poll 1 year ago
and yes its ture, I do have a certain bias since I don't really like that tv series anymore

I don't give a flying fuck about your spam. I didn't have anything to do with it, and I'd wager no one else here is responsible. Sure, you have a right to be pissed - AT THE PEOPLE WHO DID THAT - not just anyone who happend to like the show.

Yea, sounds like the BSG fans over there acted immature - so how does that make it okay for you to come HERE and take it out on fellow Browncoats, just because they happen to like the other show as well? Or were you just trying to prove you could be even more immature?

SAttacking us just for liking the show is a total dick move. The rest of your rationalization is bullshit that doesn't relate to us, nor excuse your asshole behavior.

Storymark about those ' major nutjob asshole' remarks etc. If this is who you respond to criticism it's you who needs to go see a quack for cranium therapy

But that wasn't critisism. You didn't "critique" anything about the show - That was a flat out attack on anyone who likes it. By the way, Joss is one of those fans, too, and even tried to get onboard to direct an episode.

And yeah, that is how I respond to an unwarranted personal attack. And when called on it, all you have is "other people were mean to me, so it makes it okay".

Fucking dick.

He did have a criticism, BTW it went something like Finding Earth is when it "Joined the Circus"
The trouble is both of you decided to ignore those comments on the series and instead act like a bunch of dicks throwing insults back and forth at each other.

If you want to complain about another fan or your spam from another site, do it some other place but doing it here is
NOT COOL
We get enough civil wars going on in the politics section as it is

Also I don't get this whole logic on how Joss loves a show named X therefore we must all follow Joss like a bunch of Sheeple and suddenly adore a series he watches.
Newsflash for some of you people Joss is also human, Joss does great work but he also watches garbage like the rest of us. He also adores junk like Friends, Rosanne, that lame Beauty and the Beast series and he thinks Alien-4 is a great movie. Joss is very human, he makes mistakes, he watches silly shows and Serenity could have been a much better. If Joss wants to watch something crap I don't see why we should all follow like a bunch of sheep.

Battlestar is done for me, I found the BSG shock twists to be stupid, the show depressing. The series would have worked much better had it stayed with the season 1 vibe, gritty and goth but with some upbeat humor mixed in. and whatever momentum and relevance the show had back during season one and two it doesn't have it today.

But that was a very, very minor part of the post, not the thrust. The thrust of the post was, if you like this show, you're an asshole drone, and that's unacceptable.

That minor "critique" was merely an excuse to attack people who happen to like a show he doesn't.

I simply cannot understand how pathetic a person has to be to have to go and attack someone for that. There are plenty of shows I don't like - but I don't waste my, or anyone else's time by going into threads about those shows and throwing childish temper tantrums over things no one here had anything to do with.

Exactly my point. No one here, as far as I know, was responsible for any of that, nor do we deserve to be the brunt of his rage over what other people did.

My point wasn't that we should like everything Joss does - my point was he was calling all BSG fans drones and all other kinds of names, while praising Joss, completely oblivious to the fact that the guy he worships falls into the same group of "drones" he was attacking.

Did anyone actually watch this week's show? This was perhaps the most tension filled episode of the entire series. I didn't think the writers or actors could top the events from the New Caprica storyline or the whole Adam vs. Cain conflict but every scene in this most recent episode was full on intensity.

Here's something a lot of folks may not like: Gaeta and Zarek may not be in the wrong here. For the most part the series has been shown to us through the eyes of Adama and Roslin so they are the "heroes" of the story. Something a lot of people have lost sight of in the whole "let's play nice with our new Cylon allies" is that they are still responsible for billions of deaths. Is it a sensible decision to side with these rebel Cylons? Yes, but I have to believe that a very large percentage of the survivors are not on board with this. Nowhere was this more evident than when Adama was removed from command by his own Marines.

This episode really kicked things into gear for the stretch run.
