  1. * The revelations in the first 10 or 15 minutes of are so staggering in their hugeness, you may feel like you’re watching the first few minutes of the series finale.

    * Baltar’s back in labcoat, and in superscientist mode. No worshippers lurking about.

    * We learn how long ago the planet was nuked.

    * Anders finds a guitar neck.

    * Dualla cries over a set of jacks she finds in the sand.

    * Starbuck & Leoben decide to explore the planet together.

    * Dualla babysits Hera for Athena & Helo. (So I gather those scenes deleted from the prior episode - the ones depicting Athena's violent death - never happened.) This scene may prove important later.

    * A major character speaks the words, “What am I?”

    * Six finds something astonishing in the sand.

    * Starbuck finds something astonishing in a field.

    * Gaeta finds something astonishing in his bunkroom.

    * Tyrol finds something astonishing in his brain.

    * Leoben speaks the words, “I was wrong.”

    * Roslin comes to some very big decisions. Mary McDonnell may be the finest dramatic actress on the planet.

    * An enraged William Adama has a memorably tense conversation with his executive officer. It begins with the words, “Sit down, Cylon.”

    * Lee will adjust the number on the whiteboard.

    * At least one character will begin hiding a big new secret.

    * The final scene deleted from screeners forwarded to the press is said to contain the identity of the 12th and final Cylon. Which means I'll be watching tonight as well.

    * How does your screener end, spoiler boy? “Just ride the tide out to sea,” Tigh tells his fellow Cylon.

  2. Well I've been watching Mac Frontier on YouTube due to not being able to find 'em anywhere to buy/rent on DVD. I'm on episode 19 and so far I'm pretty impressed. I can see why Klan Klan has a BIG following... he-he. Seems like such a tip of that hat Kawamori made to the original series with scenes like Alto saving Ranka and Ozma's blood with the Pineapple Cake. If I'm right there are 25 episodes total?

  3. Hah, I usually go to a joint in Wilsonville by the boweling alley or Senior' Lopez in Woodburn for quick easy food.

    But no I haven't heard of Just Be, I don't really go to DT Portland because it's a good 45 minute drive from my place.

    I'll have to look for that place in Wilsonville. I don't go DT much either. I did find a website for Just Be, but I dunno know if they still rent/sell anime. Looks like they may have changed their name too. I THINK this might be it: http://www.compoundgallery.com/index.php

  4. Hikuro... ever heard of "Just Be" video in downtown Portland? Was wondering if they are still there. I bought all my Zero copies there back in the day. I'll have to look 'em up to get Blu-ray copies of Frontier. Oh, and by the way, ya can get killer carne asada burritos from Sanchez Taqueria in Tigard.

  5. I will be looking at buying it on DVD when it comes out with subs My Japanese is ok but subs are still needed. The best would be a whole engrish sound track al-la Macross Plus.

    I'd love to have that too. I may have to wait for the dub or sub as well. I prefer the dub via Mac Plus. I think they did a helluva job on that. I don't mind subs but sometimes when there is sooo much action I'd rather concentrate rather than read subs. I really wanna get it on Blu-Ray too considering I bought mine just a few months ago.

  6. Back in that day I lived in So-Cal. This was when I was a teen. I am 37 now. We did everything from making 3rd to 4th generation VHS copies among friends that collected anime. Every now and then a comic shop would get something, but most of it was RT stuff which I never really liked. I'm more of a Macross Purist like most people here. I would also make trips to Little Tokyo/Books Nippon, which was over-priced and it was an ordeal to make the trip there. I was living in Ventura County and barely had a license much less cash to spend on wanted Macross items. We would really live for the San Diego Comic-Con every year for a huge volume. Once in a while we'd hit up small conventions finding whatever we could. It's amazing that with the internet how much we can get our hands on. I just watched the majority of Frontier on You Tube. I plan on buying it on Blu-Ray soon. I look back and laugh at what I used to do to feed my Macross appetite. Now I'm in the Pacific Northwest and miss Little Tokyo and Comic-Con. I definitely plan on being there next year. I haven't attended since the early 90's. If it works out I'd love to go to Macross World Con as well.
