HOLY FRACK!!! Tigh isn't the only one who has lost it. Baltar finally decided to grow a pair, I see. That was completely unexpected.

Lords, this doctor is so much better than George Murdock's doctor character, from Original BSG.

I REALLY hope that Adama wakes up in time to stop all this from getting worse..... but I some how doubt they are quite that lucky.

I wonder if they are eventualy going to figure out how to use Boomer and prevent the Cylon inside from taking control. Grace Park is still a main character of the series and all. They aren't going to kill off both characters, and the one with the baby isn't going to be seen all that much.

He's going to have a hell of a mess to deal with when he wakes up.

Doc: Good to see you awake commander. Oh by the way. Tigh declared marshal law, your son and the President have gone into hiding, and we have a rebellion on our hands...would you like a cup of coffee?

On a side note...I'd like to restate my undying love for Cally.

Also with a series like this I don't even dare think what's gonna happen to Galactica Boomer.

So much for that call. Damn. Callie had good reason to be pissed though.

Okay, one question here: does anyone else think that they need to change the locks on Galacitca's munitions lockers?

Nope. Not going to get that chance. Boomer went bye-bye. In other news, Adama's awake, and he's not very happy.

It would seem certain crew members are issued firearms. Pilots for one. I suspect Callie just grabbed someone elses gun.

It's been fun posting here with all of you while the show's been broadcasting live. First time I've ever done this since I don't have cable TV. (I'm housesitting this weekend).

Aly: Agree w/you about Callie, but I just didn't think she had it in her after she freaked out on Kobol. But then again, this was a flesh and blood toaster in shackles, not a chrome plated killing machine.

Wow... Give this one a 5/5. So must shit in one little can... I was surprised Baltar had the balls to do that to Chief, obviously he doesn't remember it. Callie pulled a Lee Harvey Oswald, nearly to the T. Somehow, unlike Oswald, I think they'll let Callie live. It was 'only a toaster' after all. I'm glad the Chief was there, tho, to show he did care.

I'm just wondering if Boomer remembered how to upload herself. It will be very scary now that she's back with the Cylons. Will she be the same person?

But I'm so happy they have Pyramid!! That was a hell of a game in oBSG, although Boomer's team could never win against Apollo & Starbuck until Iblis gave them a 'boost'. Once again, a nice touch of the old show, and a great way to demonstrate the basic rules. :) Rugby mixed with basketball, gotta love it.

With the Chief in the process of being cleared, I suspect Callie's actions will ultimately be viewed and desiring vengence on the person who fucked over the Chief.

Meh, didn't see it coming, but in hind sight, it meshes pretty good. For one, it does the life for a life thing with Adama. Boomer shoots him and he doesn't really return until she her self is shot.

It also gets Chief out of some messes, cements his position to the loyal memebers of his team and pretty much makes him a special interest group.

It also makes him some what sympathetic to Cylons since, though he's pissed as hell, he still loved Boomer on some level and had to watch her die in his arms, shot by one of his most loyal troops.

They did a good job of setting up not only a rebellion amongst the fleet, but a rebellion amongst the main characters.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Eight Cylons in the fleet leaves the possibility of one of each undiscovered model.

When Cally put one into Boomer, did anyone think of Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald?
