Are you sure vipers don't have FTL? I'd swear I recall seeing them jump before.

I think the Raptors do but not the Vipers. Hence why the Vipers always land back on Galactica before a jump is made. |

The stealth viper had a FTL drive, but it was the only one.

I'm thinking that's a good thing. There's some spinoff potential from the show, but it all depends on how much closure there is.
For me, ideal end would be they find Earth and find out there's no difference between Cylons and Humans, like they're just two different races of the same humanity or something.
My inner geek demands though that Galactica finds Earth, the Cylons are right behind, but Earth has way more advanced tech than both of them put together and pulverizes the Basestars. Truce ensues or something.

They should kill the ragtag fleet and then discover earth, which is us, and decide we are not technologically advanced enough to bother with,

Good. After this last season, they either have a lot of 'splainin' to do, or they need to put a bullet in it. |

Fine by me. I love the show. But after all the thumb-twittling episodes this season, I'd rather them go straight to good stuff than try to fill 2 seasons.

Today's prediction: they find Earth, it is us, and we are covered up with that organism that kills Cylons. Sam Beckett leaps out, the TARDIS dematerializes and then giant yellow spaceships move the planet aside to make room for a highway.

As long as Adama grows a beard and there are invisible flying motorcycles, I'll be satisfied.

The series is definitely teetering on the edge of shark-jumpage but..still looking forward to the last season. I'm in the "less woo-woo magicy more pew pew fights" camp but..the show was SO good in the first two season, gotta stick it out and see what happens. I, also, fear flying motorcycles. Oh and the throwback to earlier in the thread, love Firefly and hated to see how FOX treated it. I don't mind them developing the main story line really slowly, as long as the lil side-mission shows were good (they were for the most part, though "Heart of Gold" was WEAK). I think they could have burned out the storyline if they stuck solely to it..ie the last like, 4 seasons or whatever of X-Files. Yeah ok, they're chasing aliens, "the truth" blah blah blah...when they started doing it EVERY episode I wanted nothing more than to see Mulder investigate some flying-chupcabra-hosebeast that was killing neighborhood cats in Nebraska or something. ANYthing but more "the truth" soap opera-ism. NOTE: for fans of Firefly, you can read some scripts for "Virtual Firefly", a fan-fic series where they finish up 2 seasons of the show, at http://www.stillflying.net/?page=discs&season=1 . It's better than most fan-fic crap you see, and they base it off interviews and such with Wheedon regarding the direction and plans for the series. It's not all gold but a decent read for an afternoon. |

Season three just ended on UniHD. Holy frack. I can't believe I didn't like this show at first...though the HD version does kick it up some, such amazing visuals.

The folks on the right side will save humanity, those on the left will endanger it. Notice the open book by Adama and the closed one by Roslin. Open book means they are following the scripture and have open minds/hearts and the opposite for the left side. So Roslin and Adama will be at odds here at the end. She has flame, an old sign of destruction. Who is Athena and her man fearfully looking at? I guess the accusatory woman? Is that 6 again? Not sure. No one is directly looking at 6/Christ except Baltar/Doubting Thomas/Judas. But Baltar will fail. Notice the stance of 6; she is staring up with palms slightly out, very Christ-like. You can put these theories in the BANK mother-frakker.  |

Bah, I don't see any listings on UniHD for the new season (through June). Goddamned Time-Warner. They'll probably pick up SciFiHD just as the season ends.

They need to bring Michelle Ryan over from the dead "Bionic Woman" and make her a Viper pilot...or just have her stand around naked.

Share. Playboy. It's not full nude but you do get boobs. It was hmmm...last year sometime I believe. On a related note I've discovered my memory for dates and times is shitty. I can remember every line of a movie or tv show I like but if you ask me for a date that something happened in my life I can narrow it down to about a 2-3 year window. It's really odd. |

What did you guys think of last week's episode? I've been thinking about how this will end and I just don't see it ending well for the fleet. I can see them being one jump away from Earth and Adama turning them away in a random direction so they don't lead the Cylons to the last planet with humanity on it.

I really hate that Starbuck is back. But everything else pretty good. Although I wish Andres would stop being such a wuss. But without the Cylon-side of story, it feels incomplete. This friday things should make more sense.

Wishful thinking. I don't like the Starbuck thing because it doesn't make any fucking sense. None of it makes any fucking sense. I don't like where I imagine it is going with the metaphysical/religious part of the story. I still can't stop watching it. I'm just glad I didn't end up watching a side story about someone's love interest. |

I'm just not sold on this season of BSG. The first episode was better than the season finale, but not much. The Starbuck return just bugs the shit out of me because it makes no sense yet, and it's hard to imagine how it will make sense without 1) her being a Cylon, or 2) a really bad God's hand deus ex machina.
But the Baltar cult thing REALLY bugged me. It feels like they setting him up as the Joseph Smith/Mormon/One True God Follower and Martyr who resists the establishment's authority to bring the true religion. Learning more about Mormonism before watching that episode really makes me dislike the storyline.

I expect them to milk the Starbuck WTF-factor for a few more episodes, at least. The part that had me scratching my head was Baltar's coterie of nubile young worshippers and the sick kid. Are they really going metaphysical there, or is one of the girls the last cylon? Dunno.

If it wasn't so obvious my money would be on Baltar being the last Cylon. |

D'Anna(Model 3) saw all the Cylons in the Temple of Jupiter. Baltar isn't one of them.

My current theory is that Starbuck is a Cylon, but not one of the orginal 12. She's a brand new Cylon. Recreated from scratch like her ship.
