I've got a friend traveling in China this week and asked him to pick one of these up if he sees it - how much do they retail for the shops over these? HLJ has it for $157 USD. Thanks.

Great finale. The Ron Moore cameo at the end made me laugh

damn it ... i spent all that time at work this morning trying to figure out how Tigh and Adama had been buddies for so long... I'll go back to my corner now...

I know Tigh has talked about fighting in the first war, and I thought it was along side Adama. Are you sure that neither happened?

This explains how Adama knew Tigh during the first cylon war and how Tigh recalls fighting in the first cylon war.

OK, i want to run a theory by you guys regarding the FF's timeline: The Tigh we met at the beginning of the series is dead and has been replaced with a skin job created by Cavil in the original Tigh's image. The timeline below uses X as the start of the series. FF_Tigh is the person known as Tigh that lived on earth 2000 yrs ago, Tigh is the person we meet in Season 1. We know the following today: X - 2000: FF_Tigh leaves Earth, heading to Colonies. X - 40: FF arrive at Colonies and end First Cylon war by offering to create skinjobs for the Centurions. Tigh fought in this war with Adama. X - 30: Cavil is created X - 20: Cavil kills the FF including FF_Tigh and boxes them X: Colonies are Nuked X + 2: New Caprica. Tigh is captured and tortured. Here's where my theory kicks in X+2: Tigh is not just captured and tortured, but killed. FF_Tigh is resurrected in a body that looks like Tigh, with Tigh's memories overwriting FF_Tigh's own. [Cavil has mentioned that he can read memories directly from the brain and now FF_Tigh can know all the horror of the war that Tigh went through, therefore learning the lesson Cavil wanted to teach the FF]. X+2: The other FF were all on NC as well, therefore Cavil could have done the same thing with them at some point (Tory, Anders, Tyrol, Ellen) Somehow I think that the head people have to do with the transfer of one person's memories into another's, two sets of memories, one brain. I don't know how this part fits in yet, but the FF timeline can now be reconciled.

Baltar has to be something special... that said, it's getting late in the game and they better get to explaining things real soon.

i thought about it later and thought that Daniel might be All in all though, a very smart episode that definitely needs more than one viewing to absorb.

Any guesses on who Daniel is? I vote

Is anyone else surprised that this trailer has the movie rated R with Nudity, Sexuality and Language?

Ugh - i've heard this before and i can't stand this theory. Galactica is a ship. Non-sentient as far as we know, unless there is a hybrid tucked away somewhere in the engine room that no one has stumbled across in the 40 years Galactica has been around. Why can't the dying leader still be Roslin?

while i agree that the whole "we have a plan" thing has been sh!t-canned, the writers have done a great job of putting together a cohesive, continuous story. I think a lot of it is based on the fact that as you go along and make good design decisions (in the context of what major thing happens next to these people), it allows you to cover up your mistakes (the Cylons didn't really seem to have a plan B, plan A = Exterminate!) This show also seems to have luck on its side. Revelations could have been the last episode of the series, but the writers' strike was canceled in time for us to get these last nine episodes and let them finish the story. Its great to see them not holding anything back - at this point, no one and nothing is safe because the story is just about over. I compare this to how poorly something like Voyager or Enterprise ended and it makes me realize even more how awful those endings were in comparison. I'll be amazed if Adama and Galactica are still kicking when the final credits roll.

Glad that we finally saw the engine room. I assume the holes Tyrol found are the beginning of Galactica finally breaking down physically. They showed up in one of the You Will Know The Truth clues as well and made Adama get weepy.

Where is zero? I think I am officially burned out on the VF-1. Things might change if they make a killer VT or VE.

Good points... however, i just can't see anyone on the baseship being the fifth: Baltar: Too obvious and he *is* the definition of an imperfect, selfish human. Roslyn: Personally, I think that would be way too cheeky for the writers to try and pull off... oh look, here's the last cylon AND she's been in charge of humanity for the last 3 yrs! Helo: please no... less Helo is good Helo. Note that all three are also in the last supper pic and Moore has said that the last cyclon is not in this pic. All others on the baseship: none have done anything significant in 3+ yrs. It would be offensive to drop one of these folks into our lap as the fifth. Dualla is also missing from the last supper pic and would be sitting between Tigh and Lee... she spent the last episode with one or both. I still think its her and she's been "aware" of her true self for a long time (back when the centurions boarded galactica). Something else that's been bugging me about her: back on New Caprica, she spotted the Cyclon fleet on Dradis and Lee asked her how she could see anything on the screen. Is it possible that she sensed them?

It may be the four that are activated? Or she may not know that D is still alive... each of the other four were on New Caprica, but D was not, so asking if D is still alive would give her identity away. She could've also been lying... damn show makes me think too much

It's got to be Dualla... 1. She's been there since the beginning; 2a. She's made a habit of associating herself with people in power (Billy, Lee, Bill) She kissed Billy the same way the Six kissed the guy at the meeting in the Mini series - it always bugged me; 2b. She's made a habit of being involved with important events: getting adama to go back to Kobol; rigging the election for Roslin; being there when Athena got Hera from Natalie; even when she disappeared for a couple of episodes after divorcing Lee, she shows up in the CIC and hanging around Tigh, is she a mini-XO now? 3. Back in season 2 when the centurions boarded Galactica, they shot everyone they ran into except D, same thing happened to Anders; 4. Leoeben told Roslin that "Adama is a Cyclon", technically, D was an Adama, so he wasn't lying; 5. 1 of the known final 4 is a woman, they need to even it out a bit ; 6. Her name - Dual-la. She's more than she seems. 7. D'anna blew her off during her report on Galactica. Maybe she's apologized at the temple when she realized that she had one of the final five right there and blew her off. Am I stretching?

the 21 is still a bad-ass looking plane.

OK - i need help. I've scoured the P2P networks and I've found VFX2 but can only get 99.4% complete - missing like 6mb. Would someone be able to help me get a copy of this? thanks!

I was there a couple of months ago and the 71 was still there.

Guys - the trailer is everywhere. Go to milleniumfalcom.com and have a look at the numerous threads if you still don't have a copy of it - and its damn sweet btw.

Graham, this in an interesting question. Before we had kids, i always envisioned passing all my Macross stuff down to them eventually. And of course part of that involved viewing all the macross related goodness, SDF, robotech (ducks for cover), and M+. But then along the way, we had twin girls! So the question becomes do I still get to do all this stuff, i mean, are they going to really be interested in space soap opera with giant transforming mecha? Most girls i know aren't - and my wife is about as girlie-girl as they get, so I have nightmares about Roy's 1S being dressing in Barbie clothes if the girls ever got their hands on my 1/48's! On the other hand, i always thought that the macross mecha (and G1 transformers) were great because they were so creative - i wonder how many engineers were inspired by each of these toy lines to go into that field, so because of this i would give the girls at least a bandai to play with - who knows what it will inspire them to do! Another issue that i have is that exposing them to anime will get them into cosplay. Last thing i need is for the girls to start dressing in skimpy sailer whatever outfits and have the anime boys ogling them. And another point that gets me quite worried about exposing the girls to anime is the way girls are represented in anime. In Robotech, at least the women (Lisa, claudia, Millia) were strong women. In other anime, i.e. Ninja Scroll, women tend to be portrayed as weak and needing help - that's not the message i need conveyed to my girls - they need to kick ass, not wait for some boy to do it for them. Even M+ had this problem, with both Lucy and Myung being useless and being little more than objects to Isamu and Guld. And don't even get me started on hentai - now THAT crap gives me nightmares. Any other folks out there with girls have an opinion on this?

Absolutely gorgeous. Good luck with the sale.

Nice. Very nice.

Crappy?! The two-seaters are sweet - they are the only 1/60s I've got on display anymore. The rest are packed away in the basement...
