Ah so the basestars do have more detailing than I though.. it's just all on the undersides..

And it looks like that big battle some people were complaining about is coming up.

Just wanted to add two more likes and dislikes.

Like:

Radio Chatter: As Knife mentioned vocabulary was a nice touch. I liked the radio chatter between ships. What was the transport called, "Colonial 798 Heavy" .

Dislike:

Dude, they KITT car eye of death thing on the Cylon fighters was stupid.
My buddy and I both groaned when we saw that.

well... think of the KITT car headlight as thier way of saying to the *really* nonBSG-aware that those ships are cylons...


I wouldnt be at all suprised to find people like that in the audience.

Yep there it is again, two cannons if I'm not mistaken and capable of firing off axis.. and those Basestars can certainly cough out a goodly number of missiles.

Indeed.. I'm happy to see the Galactica can fend for herself pretty well when she's actually got ammo.. and it seems going toe-to-toe with a Basestar is still a bad idea in this version.

I swear one or more of the writers got hi watching a BGC marathon, and decided to make a joke with a certain BSG character...

Well Baltar was right about that one guy.

So is Boomer on board the Galactica a Cylon or is she a human?

Um, I think they made it pretty clear that she was probably a Cylon, as all the rest at the station were, too.

she may be... or not, considering that Adama ordered that everyone be tested -- no exceptions.

dammit im just so annoyed that there were absolutely no clues pointing that way -- I was more under the impression that it was either the prez' aide billy or the crewman (crewwoman?) givin him the play...

They said that some may not even know they're Cylons until they're needed... sleeper agents.

Baltar made some bullshit test. You could tell he was bluffing and using technobabble to confuse the XO
