At the end, it looked like the Robot units took out Roslin and crew. But we just heard the gunshots.
Then for the previews, it shows Roslin in the storyline. So perhaps it's a colonial rescue, and those are the shots we hear as the Chiefs wife is running away.
I was into it last night. I would give it a solid A.
You know, the show is very political, they pull it off, it works, but often I'm leaning back, thinking the whole deal is just too real. Suicide bombers?
Damn. I normally tune into shows for escapism, Battle Star is skating the edge of being too real. Last season it was abortion, this season it's suicide bombers.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just saying it's real close to the line. Maybe that's what makes it so good, I dunno.
I loved how Starbuck has been killing that dude over and over, and he just keeps coming back. I think that she is playing him. I hope so. I wouldn't want that kid, no matter how cute she was.
Thing is a fregin abomination! half toaster/half human. Whatever!
I'm hoping she plays all 50's wife on his sorry ***, then kills him again and gets outta dodge.
I guess that Boomers kid is around the same age now as Starbucks, as we did that 1.5 years jump ahead in the storyline thing.
Things I learned:
Xena's never been in love. I thought she cared for Gabrielle?
Toaster units can't tell the other Cylons apart from each other.
There is some kind of sexual move involving a "Twist" and old people sex.
Starbuck doesn't like to wash her hands before meals, even when they are all bloody.
Starbucks cylon hubby wannbe is a right wing Christian, as he prayed to the heavenly father over dinner.
That Boomer is looking as fine as ever, even more so.
I thought the episode was great. It took about 5 minutes to quash any notion that the new season wouldn't be as good.
Lee Adama needs a new handle, so instead of Apollo I think he should either be called: Dough Boy, Cheesecake, Milky Way or Gravy. I'll let you decide. They did a good job with that fat suit though.
Is it me or are there too many kids and marriages? Dough Boy and Duella? Tyrell and that broad he beat in the face last season? Meh, lame.
Good Boomer is cool, hope she stays on.
Stupid whore Mrs. Tigh and her whorey ways. I hope she gets Cylon VD.
Helo is still the man. Anyone else noticed when Caprica/BSG/Good Boomer was getting sworn in she was called 'Sharon Agathon'? Helo's last name- another marriage. I hope he gets more lines this season.
Gaeda is cool for hooking up La Resistance.
Col. Tigh with a patch will be cool. He's even more grizzled than ever now.
Sr. Adama needs to cut the mullet and porn-stache.
I hear you Whizzle on the suicide bombers, but BSG has mirrored real life events from day one. The whole premise of the show echos 9/11 as does the quasi moral decisions they've made the past few years.
Doghh Boy, and Cheesecake! He definitely put on the pounds, and his daddy called him on it. And when his wife said something about it too, but that she still loved him, I was craking up! He will slim down soon though. He just needs an ass whooping, mentally, and all will be good.
Hey, I did notice the name when Sharon was sworn in... but, didn't put two and two together. So, they are married, eh?! Cool... because I love them together. Helo has stood by his woman since the beginning. And I hope that he gets more air time too.
In the previews for next week, Adama has that porn 'stache shaved off. And, his hair cut shorter, once again, too. He's looking back like a Admiral of the military.
I'm wondering what happens when the peeps on NC are rescued, and escape, will Roslin become the President again? I don't think that Baltar will go with them... or, if he does, will people trust him, and be willing to follow him? I sure as hell wouldn't. And, once Gaeda tells people that Baltar signed off for those 200 people to be assassinated, they will want to lynch him.

Well, in the previews for next week, Baltar is asking number 6 if he's a cylon, and been one all along, or something like that. Wouldn't that be funny as hell?
I don't know what will happen with the collaborators. But, you heard Jammer... they thought that they were doing something good, to help out the humans, and got fooled.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
Actually, the previews were more like, "... this season on Battlestar Galactica..."
I don't think they were exactly previews for next week. I think it's over the next several weeks.
Remember, they don't get off NC for another few episodes. Also in the preview, Cheesecake was thin again. I think it could be a while before we see that Baltar - 6 deal. Or it could be next week, dunno.
In the old series, Baltar followed the fleet in a Cylon Base Star of his own. I'm thinking our Baltar will wind up in some position of authority, and hang out on a base star in pursuit.
Really, it's the only way to keep the character on the program. He can't go back to the fleet, not after what he as done. And they can't kill him. All he can do is hang out with the Cylons and be a full blown out traitor.
Highlight was when Adam told El Gato Gravy "Turn around and get you fat ass out of here!" That was funny right there. Adama aint no feather weight himself, but he put down the self righteous judgment on his pound stacking son.
Totally, I cracked up. He told Butterball what the deal was.
Also, in the OG series, Baltar was captured on the BSG for a while. They could go that route... but they did have Good Boomer locked up so maybe it's old hat.
Well, BSG Boomer shot Adama in the face yet now they are cool with Caprica/Good Boomer. Who knows. Could be one of those situations where they have to accept Baltar back in the mix for the good of the people. Who knows, with clever writing anything is possible.
I still think that if he comes back to the BSG, we will have assassination attempts, or just out right acts of violence against Baltar. People could spit on him, etc...
Then again, how could he leave number 6? I don't think that he could, and emotionally survive.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
There are more... but I don't think that they are revealing them, as of yet. What if Baltar was a sleeper? Wouldn't that be frakin' awesome? The leader behind it all?
Six isn't just in his head. There is one that he has something with. But, who knows...

I thought she cared for Gabrielle?
