In 50,000 or so survivors, shouldn't there be at least 1 more 'scientist' in the group besides Baltar? Seems this guy is the only genius in the armada, and they're all relying solely on him and his word on such matters as the Cylon detector. ( And now we see the flaw in THAT scenario. )

Shouldn't there be at least some students or lab assistants of some sort that are at least competent to either work with Baltar, or better still, on their own projects ? Seems a bit much that the fate of all humanity rest w/ this one guy.

I thought this myself - although in only 50K, having only one scientific genius of Baltar's specialty and caliber is plausible; in fact, they're pretty lucky to have that many. The distribution of people in the fleet is probably not a totally typical cross-section of the society, as it'd consist mostly of people who were in spaceships at the time of the attack, plus those who could get to one quickly. That's probably skewed toward the more influential rich part of society (with the exception of things like the prison ship). 50,000 people is a small town by modern standards, and even if it's an affluent small town, it'd be unlikely to contain very many top-notch genetic/cybernetic researchers.

Your point about lab assistants is more what I was thinking - surely there are people who could be trained to help with the Cylon detection and stuff, at least once they've been tested and ruled out as Cylons themselves. You'd think that Adama and the other leaders would be insisting on it, too, with how crazy Baltar acts. I mean, if I saw the one man who's responsible for the fleet's security dry-humping a lab bench I'd start looking for ways to spread the workload a bit.

I doubt it. Park is as common a name in Asia, as Smith is in America.

"Park" is a Korean sirname. It's also transcoded in all of it's other bastardized form as "Pak", "Bark", "Pok"... You name it, they murdered the language in about 3 million different ways. None of these romanization comes close to the actual Korean pronounciation.

I was really enjoying the show until the last episode. Shooting Adama and a pregnant Cylon. Now I think the writers are trying too hard, in fact I'd say they just jumped the shark.

Anyway, here's the rest my of greviances:

1) There are too many Cylon infilitrators.

2) How the hell did Starbuck manage to make an airtight seal by stuffing her space suit into the bullet hole in the Cylon Raider? At least have her use some sort of repair kit for her suit or the Viper's cockpit bubble.

3) Why is there still viscera hanging inside the captured Cylon raider? Wouldn't they refit the interior.

3) Why would Starbuck sleep with Balthar after she caught him in the lab with his pants around his angles dry humping a lab bench? And why he'd stop after she called out Lee, shoot, I don't care when Mrs. Veteran calls out Mal or Jayne.

4) An aircraft carrier has like 69 planes, seems like the Galactica is bigger than carrier but Apollo said something about only having 40 vipers.

5) The Cylons have too much control and know everything. It's like watching a cat play with a mouse it's caught, except I think the mouse understands it's over.

6) I'm still hooked.

An amusing aside, I watched an episode of the Original Galactica on Sci Fi the other day. Starbuck and Apollo used a captured Cylon Raider to disable a Basestar so the Galactica can defeat it.
