Battlestar Galactica, Season 2, Episode 11: Resurrection Ship

I know its not out for another 35ish hours
but i wanted to get a poll up for the episode when it airs instead of 2 topics 1 with a poll and 1 without.

cregser · 05-01-2006 09:43PM

44mins you say, no ads?

I was of the belief that the 2nd series on sky1 was going to catch up on the US but apparently not. Sky's site has Jan 10th as its air date for series 2. Hmm...

Vokes · 05-01-2006 09:49PM

Its just not the same without the "I'd rather watch Andromeda!" option

Tazzle · 06-01-2006 01:29AM

I demand to be given the option to watch Andromeda

Fenster · 06-01-2006 02:04AM

This poll makes me sad. Where is the Andromeda option on which I can shower my hate? :[

Sitewide ban for User45701, please leave these important polls to the experts.

Vokes · 06-01-2006 06:00PM

We really should abolish that 'cousins' thing (didn't ixoy come up with it?).

I think i'll wake up... kick off the shipping from my cousins... go take a dump, shower, shave.. make lunch and get started on the hangover.... and by then it should have arrived.

'Twas superb gentlemen. One thing I absolutely love about this show is they actually think everything through, there's no silly little glossing over of rough plot lines. Every action has a believable cause (Right down to how the Ressurection ship is identified

A cylon expecting to make a clean getaway in death and actually having to deal with being tortured to the point of wanting to die for 'real', brilliance

cregser · 07-01-2006 03:48PM

Ooh, juicy ending. I'd forgotten why I missed the show (it's been so long), but now I remember. But there are things I could complain about if I was being fussy -

- The whole "find friendlies in the wilderness that have done bad things to survive" has been done time and time before.
- If you read the synopsis of the show you'd guess that a cylon attack (or something related) would happen when the fighters where doing their little dance routine at the start. Kinda killed the suspense.
- I really don't think they're gonna kill Cmd. Adama. Even though Admiral Kane has the advantage of seing Adama request to talk with Starbuck (but she is sending in a whole team). Kinda kills the suspense too.
- But Chief Tirrel has a replacement in that civilian guy, and there's something very old school BSG about him. So there's a little suspense there, but if Adama lives then there's no execution...

But as Creed said, it's the small details in the show, and how they all knit together that make it good. Not just the main plot.

_CreeD_ · 07-01-2006 06:19PM

My own theory for next week

If there is an execution then it will be Kaine's 2nd in command who will kill her, the guy's obviously in bits over what he's done under her command since the outbreak of the war, either way he won't even try to carry out his mission. An alternative is they will arrange some way to have the captive Cylon do it to avoid a civil war

mewso · 07-01-2006 07:16PM

Fantastic episode. This is easily the best thing on TV of any genre at the moment. Better than Lost imho. Anyway I'll use spoilers even though I see no point in them. The thread title should be enough warning.

First off how can Kaine's second in command kill Kaine when she is sending him to BSG?
I think it's him that will stop the assasination attempt on Adama when it comes to the crunch and Kaine may end up on trial for war crimes or some such.
Finally I still wonder why Madam Pres. didn't just promote Adama to Admiral and name him commander of the fleet over Kaine. Surely the pres can do this?

AnCapaillMor · 07-01-2006 09:41PM

man that shot of trisha helfer in the bed was wow!!!

And for the rest of it, f***'in hell!!, can't wait for next week.

User45701 · 08-01-2006 04:45AM

tht reley was amazing best show on tv at the mo.
so good cant wait for big epic battle

Lemming · 08-01-2006 06:03AM

Nyom-age. That is all.

Fenster · 08-01-2006 01:19PM

I know how it finishes.

Good suspence in the episode and good acting. Some of the lighting and camera angles in scenes really took away from it, but I guess it boils down to the copy being a divx rip.

Next week promises to be fun.

Peace · 08-01-2006 01:59PM

They're back on on form... man i missed this show.

Who thinks it will all be resolved next week? Somehow i think there's too much to get done next week.... mission prep/launch/attack/return/assasinations...

Also, if they do manage to remove Kane they'll be left with two Battlestars... maybe the Pegasus won't survive the assault on the Cylon fleet. Man i can't wait.

BKtje · 08-01-2006 02:01PM

i hope they dont wuss out and kill Kaine in the assault. Very good show, so very enjoyable

irishshogun · 08-01-2006 02:06PM

The Cylons with a clone-ial ship

, sorry couldn't resist !

madrab · 08-01-2006 02:57PM

yeah 6 looked amazing in this fantastic episode (great side boob action when she was getting changed

)

Scruff · 08-01-2006 03:15PM

damn cousins. woke up this morning and the video had arrived. opened it up, stuck it on.....and it wasnt BSG ep 11 at all. It was a porn video. normally i wouldnt mind but in this case i wasnt amused at all. especially since i had seen it already. stoopid cousins.

/edit
actually got the right one as well, forgot i had asked 2 different cousins for it but its not great quality. anyone's cousins send them the HD version?

ixoy · 08-01-2006 08:05PM

It was well done and all, but was a bit of a briding episode for next week. Not too much happened this week but, what did, was well executed ('cept for

the Chief and Helio who weren't executed at all...

).

Production wise, I'm glad to see this show back - nice adult feel still going on. You can really feel they take the show seriously and treat it as such.

As to what's next, I'm very much on the bandwagon that

Kane's second-in-command will kill her over his guilt. It's an option that I think is a bit of a cop-out as it'll remove Starbuck's potential guilt but I fear they'll go for it.

As to the Resurrection ship - I like it. It makes sense with what they know, even if we're still not 100% sure of their plan for the Galactica.

Rating this one at the 2nd best rating because I'm hoping for some real meat next week.

MarkR · 09-01-2006 12:42AM

I think that as they are mirroring the assasination plot, both starbuck and the 2cnd in command will refuse their orders. Someone will point out trail of destruction / massacre that Pegasus has left behind. Pegasus' commander will refuse to give up without a fight. Cylon will kill her somehow. That's my guess anyway!

JimmySmith · 09-01-2006 03:33AM

My vote is that Starbuck gets caught before she can do the deed, but then some miscellaneous person with a gun shoots Caine in the head for killing their family/friends.

Tazzle · 09-01-2006 07:34AM

they need to kill a cast member to keep it gritty
