Dobber Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yeah, I took it that he died too. I'm p'd off too like the rest of you, not only for the mutiny but the attitude's as well by Skulls, Conner, and the Rapist. I agree with Mog, their True colors showed. What REALLY p'ed me off though is that Geata and Zarek offer no other alternatives, to quote the Dark Knight "some men just want to watch the world burn" I guess. Wonder what Geata would think if he knew Zarek signed the order to allow the "circle" which Conner was in ironically, that almost got him killed since he is holding a grudge about that. Gotta say though, I find it alittle hard to believe that soooo much of the military would turn on Adama the way they did. It seemed like the majority of the fighting military ie Marines, pilots, and such are mutineers. No one had the old mans back!? That seemed to be a bit of a stretch plot wise IMO.

Ghost Train Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm willing to wager on the following sequence of events: -So we already know next eps... Galactica vs. Rebel Base Star. A lot of Viper vs. Viper vs. Rebel Raider pew pew.... Madame President gets tough and orders nukes pointed at Galactica, Gaeta/Zarek order Galactica to do likewise... tense Mexican standoff. -The ol' "We will flush tsomeone out the airlock if you don't stand down bla bla bla". -OH NOEZ Dradis lights up, and Cavil arrives with "teh real" Cylons, hilarity ensues. -The traitors in the CIC fail at command, so Gaeta brings the old man and tigh back. -Galactica and fleet narrowly escape... Gaeta commits suicide, Zarek goes into hiding. The End Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Remember that Gaeta, during the fake fire convinced Adama to send the loyal marines to the back of the ship to see if there were sabateurs at work. There are probably a lot of loyal guys around fighting in the hallways, and many were probably ambushed by the mutineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I took that action as a way to get Geata's men into postion where he wanted them, around the key areas he wanted to take/hold. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Togo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Even if Saul Tigh does die , Ellen is reappearing very soon, and will have a major part to play. I could imagine him with 2 eyes soon. Oh, and by the way, Saul Tigh is listed on the episode call sheets for future episodes.

kaiotheforsaken Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I haven't seen any casting sheets to indicate Ellen coming back. Though I wouldn't be at all surprised. As for Saul, I'd almost bet on Bill dying before him. This last episode really had people get their acts together but Saul has really come into his own. He's managed to hold his composure quite well. I'm not sure we'll see any of the Final Five die and then be reborn in the next 7 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Oh, and by the way, Saul Tigh is listed on the episode call sheets for future episodes. Could be flashbacks. I still see Gaeta as being the final Cylon somehow, with how the Hybrid talked about the last one. Supprised we didn't see Roslyn's secretary with him the way she was acting. I guess they decided not to make her a superbitch anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einherjar Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) The mutiny was kind of strange to me. In other shows, it's usually lead by some jerk off with mostly red shirts following them and is resolved relatively cleanly, like BSG "Take the Celestra." Here though they made it painful by making a lot of the side characters created over the years as the mutineers. Gotta commend them for keeping track of continuity this week since I forgot some of the details. Like everyone else here, it's sad Gaeta had to go down that path, but he's got to go after this. Some nerd humor for this season: "Wow, Kid Icarus finally grew a pair." Edited February 2, 2009 by Einherjar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Train Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 As a tangent to continuity, one reason BSG has been so successful imo is that Moore et al had a definite plan on how to start, develop, and most important END the series. Because this is insider information, I don't know for sure, but at the least there was an attempt to plan a definitive finale instead of just dragging it on season after season until the cow was milked dry, which is why this is the last season, though with its immense popularity it could have gone on longer. That is the essence of telling a good story, and it beats some quickly pieced together ending to wrap up a show that has been abruptly canceled cough Enterpr cough.

Duke Togo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 one reason BSG has been so successful imo is that Moore et al had a definite plan on how to start, develop, and most important END the series. Which is not true. For the first 2 seasons they had no real idea where they were going with it; Moore hated the Cylons "and they have a plan" bit, because there was no story behind it. Season 3 is where they really had a concrete story with an end game. From the mini-series to this season, the story has changed quite a bit.

holytoledo69 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I just recieved a box of 5 Cylons figures from the Razor movie. These things are cool. Very retro but with that "terminator" feel to it. Lots of movable joints (I counted 30) and pnuematic pistons (and most of them work!) without being a floppy mess. The plastic used is sturdy and hold the details well. And these things are huge even by action figure standards. Over 8 inches tall with their legs fully extended. There are two versions of this baby, the Guardian and the Warrior. Both have standard base bodies but the warrior is a shared exclusive to various online stores. Both differ in head sculpts and armor, but both look cool in their own right. It would of been nice if they came out with a gold command version. Diamond Select did a wonderful job with these figures. I might pick up "Husker" Adama and make a nice diorama/fight scene (mid-air?) If I can get hold of a camera I'll be sure to post some pics.

sucker4meltrans Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 OK so humanity started on Kobol. So did human looking cylons. The human looking cylons a.k.a the 13th tribe left Kobol well before the rest of humanity left Kobol. 2000 years before the start of events in BSG, the 12 tribes of kobol left when a great disaster stuck the plaent. Also 2000 years ago the palent they call earth got the bejeezus nuked out of it. the 12 tribes settle in the colonies and all is good untill they recreate the cylons or what we learn later is the 13th tribe.

Glad to see Helo managed to stay in the land of the living after that beat down. I'm sort of curious how next week will play out. The trailer hinted at what a big chunk of it likely will be, but we have the hull breach (I think anyways) in the engine room, as well as some injured regulars. Also how will the fleet react, what will we do about the Quorum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
