Tonight's Battlestar Galactica Episode [02-20-2009]...

[Zim Hosein]

Ellen reunites with the "Final Five" Cylons; the rebel Cylons consider abandoning the Colonial fleet.

BSG: Episode #0416, "Deadlock."

 

[DrawninwarD]

Adama has got to use the nukes that Galactica has before the show ends.

 

[Paratus]

Don't worry he will.

Galactica gives you everything you want.......in the worse way possible.

Still every epi this half season has been awesome.

 

[Exterous]

I have been very happy with this season. Alas, The best night in Sci-fi is almost completely dead to me......(SG-1, Atlantis, BSG in the same night = nergasm )

[Admiral] Can I touch it? [/Admiral] :laugh:

 

[sandorski]

"Who did you frak"
"Whuuut??"

:laugh:

 

[Zim Hosein]

I expected more out of this episode!

Same. I wonder if that chick that Baltar is fighting is a plant from the other group and she played Baltar into getting those weapons for them.

Did anyone else feel that it was a sloppy episode? Or, perhaps better put, was anyone else lost as to why the things that were happening, were happening? It seemed to me that the baby started to die for no explained reason, and then, in the next scene in the ER, they're speaking as if we're supposed to know that just the thought of leaving the fleet is killing the baby? Or did I miss something?
Anyway, I felt it was a poor episode.

Well, I am not all that surprised. IMO Harra is a big part of the ending story - of humans and cylons finally co-existing. Had the baby been born it would have been detrimental to that story line (The Cylons wanted nothingt o do with the humans when they thought they could pro-create on their own) so it had to go

 

[Reliant]

I laughed hard when Adama said he had a little project he was working on.

 

[MovingTarget]

Yeah, not up to the usual awesomeness that is BSG. Too many things were....unfinished and/or unexplained. Too abrupt of an ending.

I agree. It's not that I was surprised by the baby's death, but rather, confused by the circumstances surrounding it. In one scene we see Ellen ready to jump away with the rest of the Cylons; then, for some reason, the baby starts dying; in the next scene, as the baby's dying, Ellen then acknowledges in some form that humans and Cylons must co-exist to live. I just didn't see any consistency in her actions, and didn't feel that the viewers were given a decent explanation for why the baby spontaneously began to die.

Also note, I don't disregard the possibility that I'm not understanding something that's clear to everyone else.

Neither have the writers of BSG as we have seen Salvatore! :|

As near as I can tell the the episode was about how erratic Ellen is. When she first reappeared last week she seemed to have it all together, but when she got to Galactica it was like she was a different person.
Quite frankly there are only a handful of people left who seem to deserve to survive this whole ordeal. On the whole, it looks like this iteration of the cycle will end as the previous ones did and the whole story will have to start again.
One good thing was seeing the return of 'head' six telling Baltar what to do. Interesting that she returned just when the Cylons were planning to break with the humans.
And we still don't know where the remaining Cylons are, the ones that Cavil is leading.

And what the frak IS the opera house anyway?
Well, only 4 more episodes? However, the last one is scheduled to be a two hour episode.

And I guess Helo has disappeared into the Dollhouse.

Oh yeah, it looks like Anders reformatted out the Vista the PC guy gave him and reloaded XP.

it's a vision from around when starbuck went back to caprica. the caprica 6, starbuck, the pres, and boomer I believe all have visions of it.





So what was up with adama constantly watching the ship repair, I was expecting something to come of that with so many clips being used.

And that was the original boomer that came back? So helo ended up bagging a replica?

saw a lot of crap blowing up on the preview....

Very early in the series they sent a different Sharon to bang Helo on Caprica.

ok I remember that now, with these "seasons" being so far apart it's becoming easy to to forget some of the finer details for the beginning.

LAUNCH MOAR NUKES DAMMIT

edit: by the way, if anyone is a space sim fan, do yourself a favor and check out Beyond the Red Line (google it). its just a demo atm, but eventually will be a fully featured mod for the fs2_open engine

 

[techs]

Does anyone believe, like me, that there is another great power out there yet to be revealed? Say the machines that destroyed earth? Or other humans or cylons from a previous cycle of the "this has happened before..." legend?
After all, something or someone rebuilt Kara.

I'm guessing the final surprise will be a rough analogy of the ships of light that appeared in the original BSG series. Who or what they are is the question.

i have a feeling galactica is going to be destroyed at the end

 

[child of wonder]

While watching these final episodes I just keep getting the feeling of "OK, OK.... just end the series already."

Lots of the things going on just seem irrelevant in a way.

It will be resurrected as the Galactica B.

I told my wife the other day that now that we've seen the other cylons are still out there the series will likely end with an epic battle in which galactic has to sacrifice itself.

I mean, it pretty much has too.
