Purkake Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 If Boomer could find the fleet without a problem that must mean Cabal knew where it was all along. So, why didn't he do something sooner. Also, the spatial distortion caused by the jump... One wonders why they haven't been using that as a weapon if it can blow huge holes in the sides of ships. I don't think it is very practical as an attack. At least some of the Cylon raiders had nuclear warheads equipped. Galactica's point defense guns wouldn't let anyone close enough to jump and cause damage and if they were close enough, a nuke would do more damage that a jump. They just didn't want to shoot at Boomer because she had Hera with her. If Boomer could find the fleet without a problem that must mean Cabal knew where it was all along.

As I understood it, Ellen downloaded before the Resurrection Hub blew up. The Ellen episode started out pretty early and jumped in time parallel to Galactica doing stuff ie. Eye of Jupiter supernove, destruction of the Resurrection Hub etc.
Dark_Raven Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Its all good. Sadly the show is getting more interesting as it comes to a close. But all good things come to an end. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Hiro Protagonist Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 What a waste of an episode the last one was.
Gorgon Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Messy crappy episode. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Arkan Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I disagree. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Hiro Protagonist Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 What happened for 45 minutes that couldn't have been summed up in 5-10 minutes? Basically, Sam gets plugged in, Sam gets turned off. Starbuck gives her dogtags from Earth to Baltar. There's a funeral which I felt was a waste of time and space. We see Boomer for about 5 seconds giving Hera to Cavill. Adama decides to abandon Galactica . I know there was some other things, but I felt it just dragged on and nothing really important happened.

Hell Kitty Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I didn't mind the episode, but I was left wondering how it's all going to wrap up in the time that's left. I'm hoping it doesn't have a Sopranos style ending.
Gorgon Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I kinda liked that the Soprano's ended with a whisper rather than a bang. The Gallactica ending can't help but be hindered by all these uninteresting story threads that have to be accounted for. I kinda hope they don't try to explain everything. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Purkake Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The end scene with the funeral music was great, but it made me a sad panda. They are pretty much telling us that BSG is ending and we have to let go as well. A bit Firefly-ish. Also female Hybrid > Sam

TheHarlequin Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Little fact for this theory just tossing this out there how it ends in the last 2 eps IMO... sam plugs into galactica and via the cylon goo is able to repair her for a final showdown with cavil who now wants to wipe the fleet out now that he has the girl adama is found out to be dying boomer has second thoughts, kidnaps hera and bring her back to the fleet cavil decides to go nuclear and kill off the fleet even tho hera will prob die big final battle, not sure how but something happens to starbuck and it almost costs the colonials the fight, some main secondary chars die in part due to SB The music notes turn out to be a code for directions to a earth like planet adama dies due to his health issues and outlived by rosalin, typical moore irony. Apollo becomes the new leader. The pithia scrolls in effect all come true.. battle with cylons, dying leader saves them, did lead them to earth, scrolls never said that was the final destination however. World of Darkness News http://www.wodnews.net --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente
Gorgon Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Another episode of nothing, with some plugging of Caprica thrown in to pass the time. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Guard Dog Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The pithia scrolls in effect all come true.. battle with cylons, dying leader saves them, did lead them to earth, scrolls never said that was the final destination however. I was entertaining a theory that the dying leader turned out to be the Galactica itself. As for Starbuck, don't expect much. Katee Sackoff was not happy with the way her story arc was left hanging. Looks like there may be some loose ends after all is done, but that may be by design to leave creative room if they ever pick the title back up. Personally I hope they do not. I think for the most part this series has been very well done and further production can only detract from it. I know there have been some rumblings of unhappieness with the show on this thread but I believe that most of you agree that this was a quality show. Not too many come along you can say that about. For my money this was the best Sci Fi on TV since DS9 wrapped up. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Gorgon Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Well it's obvious at this point that Gallactica is going on a suicide mission, ramming the station or something, and Adama goes down with his ship, how could he not. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

I have to agree, it had it's bad moments (most of season 3 for me), but overall I think it's one of the better Sci-Fi shows I've seen. About the loose ends - I heard that they might make a film, to finish it off. Looking very much forward to the climactic finale! Fortune favors the bald.

Kaftan Barlast Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 What I dont get is why Hera is so important that you need to risk so many lives saving her? Surely the writers could have come up with a much better motivation for the final battle? Didnt Adama say just recently that he was sick of all the prophecies and bull****, so why risk everything for some kid that people have been hallucinating about?

Didnt Adama say just recently that he was sick of all the prophecies and bull****, so why risk everything for some kid that people have been hallucinating about? He's taking a leap of faith based on Kara's assumptions, she did help them get to Earth and I think he trusts her wierd feelings. Like any parent would I guess. And the crew trusts Adama, so there we are.. Fortune favors the bald.
Gorgon Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Because Hera is one of the many plot hooks left dangling with 2 episodes to go, the writers needed to tie things together, no matter how poorly they fit. Adama's agenda has always been the survival of the fleet, and here he goes sending half of his pilots on a suicide mission to rescue one girl, who for all he knows Cabal has already gotten what he wanted from. No, it most definitely does not make sense. Edited March 17, 2009 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Rosbjerg Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Technically they are dead anyway .. the human race can't survice (properly) with less than 50.000 individuals.. assuming they have as bad genes as we do. Brainfart there.. What I meant to say is - you are right Gorgon. Fortune favors the bald.
