SciFi Friday!

[MissB]

psst.... DS1 ran naked through GD a few minutes ago.

So, how is BSG tonight?

[LiviaOlivia]

1. Hasn't started here yet..and Happy 59th B-day Edward James Olmos!

:)

[htuttle]

2. It just started here

I think my head is going to explode!

on edit:

Oh, okay. Whoa, weird...

[crispini]

3. HOLEE FSCK!

WHAT WAS THAT! Baltar!!!?!!!!

[htuttle]

4. Yes, but no

???

Same thing as with Baltar and #6, I guess.

???

[CatholicEdHead]

7. They are still not going to expalin the miniseries

discontinuity where after the explosion Baltar then shows up later at the Raptor with Helo and Sharon.

Something happened but it is not time yet for them to explain that.

[Benfea]

14. There is no discontinuity

They just didn't show him travling to the landing site. It could just be that they didn't have enough time to show that and assumed the audience was smart enough to figure out for ourselves what happened, or it could be that something significant happened between the bomb going off and him reaching the landing site.

Remember, we don't know how close or far he was to that nuke blast. He could very well have been far enough away that all he got was the outer edges of the shockwave, in which case #6 shielding him with her body would have been more than enough for him to survive.

Or he could be an unwitting cylon. He could have "died" in the shockwave and the Baltar we saw reaching the landing site was a new body.

[crispini]

16. I think something weird happened to them.

In the blast. Otherwise why would SHE be seeing HIM?

[Benfea]

25. That's hardly the only explanation.

It's not even the best one. She'd been working on him for a long time before the attack started, and she says she's in love with him (she might even be telling the truth about that).

[crispini]

8. When this show is ON, it's ON.

I've thought some of the shows this season have been kind of "meh" but when this show rawks, IT RAWKS!

[Benfea]

15. The second half of season 2 has been weak.

Although a bad BSG episode is still better than most sci-fi TV shows out there.

[Cush]

9. so Six sees Baltar?

[htuttle]

10. Apparently

But no one else can see him...

[CatholicEdHead]

11. Almost like a mirror "traitor" for the Cylons

If it is the reverse Baltar effect.

[htuttle]

13. I saw an interview with that actress

...and she hinted that such a thing was going to happen.

Looks like there's going to be another whole Caprica storyline at this point.

[crispini]

17. I like the Caprica stuff.

It's cool.

[CatholicEdHead]

19. Why did Sharon come back at Caprica?

When she was killed they still had the resurrection ship nearby. Or was that ship just a glorified signal repeater?

[crispini]

21. They could have just travelled back to Caprica.

I don't think we really know where they came back. I'm assuming it was probably the resurrection ship.

[CatholicEdHead]

18. Well we still have Starbuck's "operation" from earlier

in the season that is still unresolved.

Hard to believe that after almost 2 full seasons we are only 9 months in storyline time from the miniseries.

[Blue-Jay]

5. I don't get the SF channel anymore.

That makes me a sad panda. :(

[CatholicEdHead]

6. Go on iTunes

you will get tonight's episode tomorrow.

[Benfea]

12. I'm gonna have to watch the midnight showing of BSG

It's one of two shows on TV I actually set aside time to watch on a weekly basis.

[Cush]

20. getting interesting

will 'Caprica Six' and Sharon go renegade?

[CatholicEdHead]

22. They could have a eventual Sharon and Chief renunion

sometime in the near future. That would be intresting.

[htuttle]

23. ...Or were they just blown up by the human 'terrorists'?

:D

[CatholicEdHead]

24. It is nice to have two podcasts to listen to

They uploaded last week's and this week's podcasts a few hours ago.

[crispini]

26. Whoa.

Just whoa.

[CatholicEdHead]

28. Very good, heavy on the psychological stuff tonight

but the new story threads look to be promising for the future.

[Cush]

27. Cylon revolution?

[CatholicEdHead]

29. Two part season 2.5 finale starts next week

It looks to be good. Expect the DVD of Season 2.5 to be out by Memorial day.

Edit: I believe Season 3.0 starts in July.

[crispini]

30. Ooooee, kickass preview!

this show is DAMN GOOD!

Hey whatever happened to the arrow that Starbuck brought back from Caprica? Could they not use it to open the whatever on that planet they were on? Too many Cylons around?

[CatholicEdHead]

31. They used it to see the starmap

They put the arrow on the statue and they were taken to the starmap that pointed towards Earth on Kobol.

[crispini]

32. Dagnabbit, I must have missed an episode!

And here I thought I'd caught them all. So why aren't they bookin' it towards Earth right now?

[CatholicEdHead]

34. They are making their way there

It takes a while even with their space technology. FTL drives only take them so far so fast. Remember it has only been 9 months in story time since the miniseries.

[crispini]

35. Hard to believe.

When this show is good, it's AWESOME.

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

33. tonight made up for a really bad run

this episode of BSG was off the hook.

So creative, so antiwar, so asking the questions we as americans should be asking.

And the 2part season finale was unbelievable!

and Xena warrior princess!
