Until we get a translation, I think these do nothing but add more questions.

As I've said, I've downloaded 5 different releases and have yet to find one with the eyecatch. If there is one out there, its not being seeded by the usual sources.

I've downloaded 5 different RAWs, no eyecatch. DivX, XviD, MP4, different sizes.

But they've chosen to have the NUNS insignia on their wings?

I still think the NUNS insignia is based upon the Zentradi one.

VF-27 Pooh Bear

As I said, subject to change because of the writers strike, but they are very reliable. Its also my understanding that Scifi.com gives away ALOT without giving any real details. But what they do say dovetails with the spoilers.

Which won't work is they are going to try to market this series internationally.

I don't think its anything that rare. The Vajra use its technology. That would explain the connection between Sheryl at her concert and Alto in his fighter (the earrings), and the stone in the Vajra ship reacting as well.

Lies! Marketing lies! He had a name in every movie! VF-27 Tuco

VF-27 Crom

Oh, I've got money that says the VF-27's technology is based around that mysterious purple stone.

Oh, one more thing, Pork. The last 3 or 4 episodes before the finale involve

And how does it end? (vague, but interesting spoiler): I'm really feeling a

Because I've probably seen this episode 10 times, and I went back and looked again after you posted. They are very clearly Vajra missles.

Something to keep in mind. That was the last episode scripted before the writer's strike, and was the last one shot until it was resolved. Moore is on the record as saying he rethought some things during the strike, and its very possible there have been some changes. However, the spoilers for the episodes we have now seen this season were spot on. Also, Katee Sackhoff indicated that the two-parter

I think that "new" is lower case for a reason.

1. No, not that we know of. 2. Yes. 3. No. 4. The VF-27 is a NUNS fighter

I'm fairly confident we'll see some explanation in Frontier concerning the change of UNS to NUNS. However, I'm still assuming the real reason for the change was to market this series outside of Japan.

Wow, there is some great, and credible spoiler info out there. I have a super duper one here (and I've seen the set pictures), read at your own risk:

Not really a spoiler: According to Ron Moore, the reveal of the final Cylon "will be late in the season, it won't be in the first half."

Some spoilers going up to the end of the first half of this season:
