Although the nuclear detonation being identifiable a light-year away was stretching the bounds of plausibility. Either those are some damn powerful nukes, or Cylon sensors are incredibly sensitive. Or the cylon was bullshitting, and a spy signalled them. But, how did Gaeta get the signal out? It st...

One thing that bugged me, would the nuclear detonation of Cloud 9 leave some negative effect on the atmosphere? She seemed to already be in orbit above New Caprica. The nuke, Cloud 9's FTL drives as well as the other ships most have released a metric fuckload of radiation. Also, it seems like there ...

Ya, Rosalyn has to die. Its been too bult up and there doesn't seem to be any reasonable way to save her. One of the best things about this show is the balls the creators have. I think waxing a beloved and important charecter shows tremendous balls. To find some deus ex machina to save her when she ...

It could be that they modify it for the mission. Starbuck obviously wasn't going to be in a firefight if the recon mission was successful, so they took out the weapons package and fitted it for a FTL drive. Since the blackbird will be traveling with the fleet this time, it doesn't need the drive, bu...

Why isn't Dr. Lamb part of the regular cast? She keeps getting credited as a guest star. If there is anything the show needs, its a regular appearance by that little buscuit.

Sorry, but it wouldn't be a BSD thread without the Cylon witch hunt.

I enjoyed it, especially the way Mitchel and Jackson played off each other when they were interrogating the Prior. I just wish Varek didn't die. I didn't like him falling in with the Ori so quickly. I thought he could have been a great not-so-good guy. Same goal, different methods. A gradual turn to...

Yes, the sytem lords would have wanted it. And they'd be too busy killing each other for it to launch a full scale attack on Earth.

Well, look at the size of his house. And how clean it is. He obviously expects company regularly.

Minstrel Boy works so well in military drama. Its the song from Black Hawk Down.

Re: Cylon Witch Hunt

After six's last speech to Baltar, I'm really starting to rethink my previous who is a Cylon theories. So, say who you think are cylons. Lt. Gaeta - High Probability, he screwed up the jump, he let the ship's computer get infected. He didn't screw up the jump. It was a pretty reasonable explanation...

Damn it, everytime I decide whether Baltar or Rosalyn is the Cylon, the other one does something to make me change my mind. Baltar's conversation with 6 convinces me its him. Then, the way the Cylons know the scripture that Rosalyn is following so closely makes me think they programed it into her. I...

The Prometheus takes a direct hit that takes out a Jaffa Hatak. What does that say about shield energy in SG? Assuming, of course, the Jaffa actually raised their shields. they certainly aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. I figured Nerus' angle all wrong. I thought he was getting SGC to take ...

Is there any reliable reference to the size of the two fleets. I thought the novel mentioned that the Rebels held the actual numbers advantage, but I don't have it with me. Anyway, what I think Palpy should have done is put his arrival off for a week so the DS II could have its own shield generator ...

I don't think Rosylin is one either, because she underwent extensive medical testing for her cancer. Cancer test =/= Cylon test. Baltar himself stated in the BSG 2k3 miniseries that humaniform cylons were basically identical to humans in almost every way. Ya, thats occured to me. I've managed to ta...

Does anyone else see a contradiction with a woman who claims to be a staunch proponent of democracy, yet has no problem letting people bow to her as an uncontested religious icon?

Didn't he and Adama serve in the same squadron during the previous Cylon War?

And I really think Baltar is a Cylon. It would make sense how 6 is in his head like that.
