29-11-2004 6:27pm#1I'll make it a public poll this time as someone turned up last week before the episode aired and put down a few votes for "I'd rather watch Andromeda!"
I'm looking forward to this episode. In just about every TV guide I've flicked through for this week, Six Degrees of Seperation has made their picks, so it must be something good.How was tonight's BSG? 43 votes

It was great!Fussy bitch that I am, I am proud to award this episode 5 stars even though I was rooting for "Madame President" to be squatting on the toilet bowl with her knickers down when Baltar burst in
The whole Baltar/Six thing was played exceptionally well tonight. I especially liked the interesting question posed by Baltar at the end - "Was there ever a real Shelly Godfrey?" followed by the answer to all life's intellectualism, zip with the trousers.
Helo and Boomer - mmm, passion. Hopefully some sex scenes to follow, Helo is such a ride, I want to see skin
I don't think it was Chief who did the grafitti, doesn't seem like his style (even though we don't yet know him well). It was more likely Six or Boomer herself in another blackout.
I'm surprised they didn't notice the fake photograph sooner, it was very obvious - the dull expression and the way he was wearing the exact same t-shirt he was wearing that day. Almost looked like he was posing for a mugshot
A huge improvement over last week.⛥ ̸̱̼̞͛̀̓̈́͘#C̶̼̭͕̎̿͝R̶̦̮̜̃̓͌O̶̬͙̓͝W̸̜̥͈̐̾͐Ṋ̵̲͔̫̽̎̚͠ͅT̸͓͒͐H̵͔͠È̶̖̳̘͍͓̂W̴̢̋̈͒͛̋I̶͕͑͠T̵̻͈̜͂̇Č̵̤̟̑̾̂̽H̸̰̺̏̓ ̴̜̗̝̱̹͛́̊̒͝⛥

It was okay...As ixoy stated, some great lines in tonight's brilliant Baltar showcase.
Loved the comical Baltar/Six opening sequence and his incredulity that his beloved Six could be standing there for all to see and hear.
That she disappeared from his hallucinations in the empty house for the duration of her copy's stay on the Galactica was also an inventive touch in making him feel truly dazed, confused, isolated and alone. Felt the ending was resolved too quickly though. I know it was his "test" set by Six but I didn't foresee such an easy resolution to his situation. I want the guy to suffer I guess!
As regards Cylon-occupied Caprica, will this subplot ever dovetail with the main plot? Maybe I'm too impatient...
And to please Stark and TCamen tonight, we even had a fleeting few scenes with Apollo! Bet that made ye happy!
Looking forward to the Good/Bad/Ugly, c0y0te!0 -

It was okay...And to please Stark and TCamen tonight, we even had a fleeting few scenes with Apollo! Bet that made ye happy!
It did make me happy
Then again, it was a cracking episode in general, so Apollo was just the cherry on top. Like others have mentioned, Baltar & comedy do well together, some very funny moments, especially the bathroom scene with Gaida. Really thought it would be some random woman when Gaius threw open that stall.
"No more Mr. Nice Gaius!" classic line
Six is a pretty rockin' headwrecker when it comes to Gaius & making him do what she wants. Go Six!
I'm still liking the Caprica scenes, mostly because those CGI Cylons are nice to look at, and it breaks up the ship-based stuff quite nicely too. I'm sure it'll all come together towards the end, and we're over halfway now, so not much longer to wait!
Some interesting developments with Boomer being all cutesy with the Raider, and the Chief noticing it. Plus her mirror grafitti-- someone knows her secret!! :eek: I'll go with Boxey, just cos we haven't seen him in a while, and I'm sure he's important :rolleyes:
The small Tigh/Starbuck scene was fun too, short & sweet!
Overall, thumbs up! :cool:0 -
It was great!Ask... and ye shall receive (hmm - appropriate given the religious slant this evening as well!!).
OK - lets get to it....I gave this an 'amazing' vote and felt good doing it, even though it had its flaws. I compare this to having recently watched 'the incredibles' - it has flaws, it aint perfect - but tis better than most things you will ever see in animation/comedy/family drama this year so go watch it. Its worth it!! OK - back to the review...and this week I'm adding a new category (see below).
The Good:-
The Setup - Great title, great setup. The idea of bringing another 6 onboard just yielded so many wonderful opportunities to play with Baltar and his ever increasing insanity. Any opportunity to see these two (three?) together is welcome.
You can see her? - Holy crap I laughed out loud at that one. That scene must have taken ages to plan, and it was played out perfectly. The conversation between Adama, Tigh and his reactions.. wonderful stuff.
No more Mr. nice Gaius - The script writers were on fire at this point. Another laugh out loud moment, and the setting (a toilet).. perfection.
Potty Whispers - And speaking of setting, that whole scene was great craic. It was possible to discern his desperation as his whispers got louder and louder, and of course 6 just had to walk in.
Lab Rat - I thought the idea of Baltar (the scientest, the genius, the technological wizard), standing in a lab panicked beyond reason, resorting to ever more futile efforts to kill the image on the screen was brilliant. He tried, and he tried - and he still couldn't blow the image down. Sheer panic, great viewing and a decent bit of acting there.
Hello?... Hello? - My favourite bit of the entire episode. He resorts to calling in favours from el presidento, and works up to the condemnation we all know is coming, to be greeted with... silence, because she has dropped into the arms of morpheus on the other end of the line. Again - great script. You watch, and you laugh, and you really feel for the poor sod as the noose tightens around his neck.
Zipper Religion - What a way to return things to the status quo, after all he has been through, even through the panicked and desperate prayers, throught the realisation that he was being played from the start, right back to the point where his dick rules his head, yet again, and he hops right too it, regardless of the consequences. Nice.
Unfortunately - this episode had its flaws, but I'm happy to say nothing too nasty.
The Bad:-
Cylon, and thanks for the memories - A dissappearing, tall, georgous blonde and no one notices? A week after the other lad tried to blow the place to hell and back? Please.
Twice is not a charm - So we had one cylon trying to blow the ship into little itty bits last week, and now we have another just wandering in to do her dirty work... which means... go on, you can guess the rest... that the big bad cylons know EXACTLY where the fleet is, and yet are not reducing them to little pieces. Anyone else think this is a bit odd?
Finding God - I'm not particularly religious, but that aside, it seems a bit pedantic at this point to keep pushing the GOD THING. It may pan out, but right now I'm loosing interest in the fixation and repetition.
The Sleeper Awakens? - So BSG Boomer gets all drippy over the cylon raider, and goes off into trance like semi-orgasmic meandering all just so that the chief can *suddenly* get his suspicions aroused even further? Please - another case of pushing the plot a bit tooooo hard I reckon.
The Ugly:-
Lonely Hearts Club - The scene between Adama and 6 was progressing nicely, and I was buying it right up until the point where she starts in on him, goes for the kiss etc. It was incongruent with her character, it was overkill simply so he can then begin to 'suspect' her motives and ask for her to be kept on a watch? Too much script kiddies. You should have left it with the tear and the weeping out of shot, with Adama in repose as usual. The kiss was a mistake. It just doesn't work.
The Incomprehensible:-
I'm adding this section in from now on when I come across something which only the more observant of you may be able to solve. A problem if you will, a continuity issue which I perceived that I simply cannot explain, but perhaps you can (Fen - are you listening? )....
Boom Boom Baby! - OK, so we have Helo and Bad-Boomer gettin' it on down planetside. This I can see coming, but I can accept in due course. What I cannot fathom is how Bad-Boomer has ANY KNOWLEDGE of the relationship between BSG-Boomer and the Chief, unless someone is going to tell me we are heading down the 'hive mind' or 'shared conciousness' route - which I really hope we dont :rolleyes: ... This strikes me as a continuity issue or just plainly a mistake, but I'm open to suggestions
So thats it. Hope you find it amusing. Feel free to post/challenge/debunk.. thats what we're here for!

It was great!
In keeping with my theory that this is some sort of giant test - they can wipe them out when wish to, but are keen instead to see how humans react to the varios scenarios they throw their way. Testing the Lords of Kobol faith against their own perhaps.c0y0te wrote:Twice is not a charm - So we had one cylon trying to blow the ship into little itty bits last week, and now we have another just wandering in to do her dirty work... which means... go on, you can guess the rest... that the big bad cylons know EXACTLY where the fleet is, and yet are not reducing them to little pieces.

Again, it's in keeping with what we know of the Cylons. God is central to their philosophy and humans, it seems, have been judged and found wanting, particularly with their inferior faith. If it's the reason for their zealotry then it's only fair they continue to push their agenda.Finding God - I'm not particularly religious, but that aside, it seems a bit pedantic at this point to keep pushing the GOD THING. It may pan out, but right now I'm loosing interest in the fixation and repetition.
Again no problem really. If anything's going to trigger the Cylon within, it's going to be the sight of pure Cylon. It makes sense the Chief would be working on it too and talking more to her.The Sleeper Awakens? - So BSG Boomer gets all drippy over the cylon raider, and goes off into trance like semi-orgasmic meandering all just so that the chief can *suddenly* get his suspicions aroused even further?
Don't think it was remotely incongruent to herself. What we saw of Boomers this week indicates that the Cylon models are in communication with each other. Hence CapricaBoomer knew what GalacticaBoomer was up to.Lonely Hearts Club - The scene between Adama and 6 was progressing nicely, and I was buying it right up until the point where she starts in on him, goes for the kiss etc. It was incongruent with her character, it was overkill simply so he can then begin to 'suspect' her
Similarly, BaltarSix has been talking to RealSix. BaltarSix has learnt that the best way to gain power over a man seems to be through seduction. She wants to try and gain power over Adama so naturally she'd try the very thing that's worked so well before - only it doesn't work so well with Adama. Thus they've now learnt a bit more about how human minds and emotions work and the principal players on Galactica.0 -

It was great!Stark - on what do you base that statement?
Which part of the mini series or the eps to date demonstrates this.... and please NO SPOILERS if you happen to know this because of something else that happens later in the show!!
so - gwan...prove it to me, you know you want to

It was okay...Now please correct me if I'm off the mark here but haven't the Cylons had years to plan their strategy before they re-emerged on the spacestation in the mini-series? It's looking like an elaborate chess game with each move meticulously planned. Six on Caprica; Boomer on Galactica - they've been in place for quite a while, building up trust amongst the humans while infiltrating their systems.
In this way I don't think they share a communication link but have been pre-programmed to act in a certain evil Cylonic way. In "Water" Boomer planted the explosives in the water tanks not because she was ordered to do so but this is possibly something a Cylon would do regardless and knows this will hurt the fleet.What I cannot fathom is how Bad-Boomer has ANY KNOWLEDGE of the relationship between BSG-Boomer and the Chief
We really don't know when this relationship started. Certainly long before the Colonies were annihiliated and that would have allowed information to be exchanged between the copies. Such prior information and planning is guiding them now, not any recent communication. What do you think, c0y0te? 0 -
