Whut? I thought there was just one more. What the fuck could they pad out another ten episodes with? I hope you're joking. |

No joke. They split the last season in half and we see the last episodes this winter.

Over the last few weeks I've seen all the episodes for the first time. Great show. Reading on another forum it was mentioned the the last episode of the first half was meant to be a sort of ending in case the writer's strike killed the series.
We'll see what they have to finish up.. 5th sekret cyclon, what happened to earth, where is everyone etc etc.

I'm sure they're a bit better when you can watch the last half of Season 2 and all of Season 3 back to back.  They're a little slow when you space them a week apart. |

We always say we should TiVo the entire season and watch it all at once. But we never do. And it makes us angry.

The show really benefits from being watched on DvD. And although I was dissapointed with the first half of season four, I suspect that's partly because it suffers from comparison with the genius of earlier seasons rather than being bad in its own right.
Anyway, I really wanted to say that in the final episode of Season One, Gaeta gives Boomer the gun!! Probably old news to everyone else, but I was re-watching it last week and noticed it for the first time, and got very excited. Geata is evil!! But . . . don't think he's a cylon . . .

I am in the process of watching BSG back-to-back, starting with the miniseries. I am now at Episode 10 of Season 3.
Even the worst episode of BSG so far is better than 99% of other television out there. What I especially like about the series is that it does believable drama. Most characters have flaws but they are believable flaws. BSG also doesn't fall into the Heroes trap of making the characters all types of out-of-character shit just to get the story along.
Everybody acts according to their own moral code and personality and if they change any of that it's not done in the blink of an eye but as part of a process.
BSG is one of only a few shows I know that combine action, mythology, social and political discourse and drama in a believable and uncampy way. Just like great science fiction should. They also employ REAL actors and not some beautiful 20 something model types that read lines.

They're starting to release webisodes. Last time around they were pretty good and laid some groundwork for the season.

Bargle. I really liked this show when it was starting up. Then it got bogged down in it's own hubris, and between that and Sci-Fi showing one episode per decade in order to pad out their only decent show nowadays, kinda lost interest. I catch the occasional episode on Youtube, but I'm not worried about keeping up with the show anymore.

Hubris is my new favorite word. I have been using it a lot lately, but not as much as I would like.

A question I hate to see get dropped: What prevented the Cylons from bring their full weight to bear on New Caprica?

There was a schism caused by Boomer and Six who both fell in love with humans. The Cylons that took New Caprica were the minority that they convinced to try getting along with them.

I get that explanation for why they didn't exterminate the humans. But that doesn't explain why the whole Cylon fleet wasn't parked above New Caprica.

The impression I got was that Boomer and Six and their gang had separated from the main Cylon fleet and they just happened to be the group that noticed the nuclear explosion and came to investigate.

It wasn't the nuclear explosion, the Pegasus Number Six died there (activated the nuke that Baltar gave her) and was downloaded to another body. She probably led the others to New Caprica. The nuclear explosion comment was directed at Baltar when the Cylons met the President and he clearly understood what they meant by that. |

Are you sure? I could have sworn one of them mentioned that not seeing the flash from the explosion immediately because of light speed was why they didn't show up for so long.

They explicitly said that. I'm not sure where Jeff is getting this other take on it unless it comes from a Webisode, which would be highly annoying to me. |

I'm pretty sure it's the 16th. Google results confirm this, with a finale in March.

Well now I have to rewatch that episode because I cannot remember that. I remember them saying something to the effect of "We picked up on the nuclear explosion from a year ago, *wink*, *wink*, *nudge*, *nudge*" which I always assumed was a secret hint to Baltar who was the only person in the room who actually knew that it was the Gina Six blowing herself up with the nuke he gave her. It was directed at him and he was the one who seemed to realize what they meant. I never ever thought that they actually detected the nuclear explosion because there is no chance in hell that somebody would be able to detect the residual light or radiation of a small nuclear explosion from one light year away, especially when the eyplosion occurred inside a nebula that completely distorts all forms of radar (or dradis as they call it). |

I thought the point of Gina Six blowing herself up was that she wanted to die for real and was too far away to be resurrected?
