BSG 4.5: Sometimes a Great Notion - Place your bets....

[CaptJodan]

What the FUCK?

[MarshalPurnell]

That was damned abrupt.

[Burak Gazan]

Holy Fraking Hell tell me that did not just happen!

[Skylon]

Holy shit!

Edit: Should this be considered a spoilers allowed thread at this point?

[JLTucker]

Hey guys. I hear it's totally fucking awesome to make real-time updates. Totally awesome.

[Strider]

Well screw my pooch and call it a monkey...

Good sir, I'll call it the Queen of England...

[KhyronTheBackstabber]

Wow, that just came out of left field.

Holy shit!

Edit: Should this be considered a spoilers allowed thread at this point?

Seeing how this is the Ep. discussion thread, I would say yes.

[Agent Fisher]

Hey guys. I hear it's totally fucking awesome to make real-time updates. Totally awesome.

Yeah it is, thank you for acknowledging it.

[Burak Gazan]

You know, at the start of this I said offhanded to someone here, that if they weren't carefull the suicide rate would go nuts; Jesus H Christ in a Canoe, this is going pear-shaped at lightspeed

Did anyone get a good look at that stuff Dee picked up on the beach?

Not sure. It looked like jacks to me.

Jacks and a ball.

[Agent Fisher]

They were jacks. And yeah, looks like the fleet is going to frak itself over, I mean, pilots fighting in the halls, and nobody stopping it?

Spoiler

Yeah. Some jacks, a bouncy ball, and a locket. right before she blew her head off she opened it. Could see an older looking black man on one side... couldn't see the other. im guessing they're tossing some red herrings about final cylonage.

just posted in spoilers in case there's a west coaster here who doesnt want to be immediately spoiled

[KhyronTheBackstabber]

Yeah, she picked up some jacks.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark about the final cylon...

Dr.Cottle.

[Burak Gazan]

Ok, thanks, I could not tell if it was some sort of jewelry or not.


As far as the 5th goes, they throwing a few exploding curve balls it looks
Spoiler

Tigh had a vision of the holocaust, which included his ex Ellen.....

[CaptJodan]

Ha!

Edit: What do I win?

[Skylon]

Yep. Was on the right track at least.

[Agent Fisher]

Kara, a young Ellen, hmmm? Think about it!

[Strider]

So it appears that instead of being a Cylon, Starbuck instead can miraculously come back from the dead. Or its a huge hoax, which isn't all that unlikely.

And wouldn't Tigh recognize Kara in that case Fisher?

[Alyeska]

Enough with the spoiler tags people. Someone watching the show late is knows better then to read a thread about it if they don't want spoilers.

[LMSx]

Can someone kindly summarize the episode?

[Nieztchean Uber-Amoeba]

ITT there is a full page-worth of people just saying 'Holy shit' and 'What the frak' and 'Woah curveball' since those are all meaningful and well-thought-out contributions.

And I am now certain that BSG will not explain everything that has happened throughout the series, which is irritating. Other than that:

Well-done BSLJ scenes

Fantastic Cinematography and Design for this episode. Above-par even for BSG

'Why did she do it?' '...*laughs* I don't frakking know.'

And a decent pick for the Final Cylon. It's no Gaeta, though.

And is Lee, like, still the Acting President? How the fuck does that work?

[JLTucker]

Good riddance, Dee, you fucking cunt.

And is Lee, like, still the Acting President? How the fuck does that work?

Didn't he surrender his position as acting president back to Roslin?

[Burak Gazan]

Well, its already into complete mindfrak territory, but bloody hell

Nice touch with some of the 4 remembering the past as it were ; Tyrol pointing to carbonized shadow on wall " that was me..."

And graffitti right outside CIC? Geez I hope things smarten up somewhat , fast or the fleet is truly screwed

[CaptJodan]

Can someone kindly summarize the episode?

-Kara's wreaked Viper and charred body is presumably found on Earth. She burns the remains, and wonders who the fuck she is.
-Dee shoots herself in the head and dies after one last perfect date with Lee.
-Ellen is the 5th Cylon. I'm rather proud of that one, as I had no idea other than what hints we had throughout the series.
-Adama wanted Tigh to kill him, and tried to goad him into it, but it didn't work.
-Roslin has a crisis of faith and burns the book of Pithea.
-Small (at least on screen) unrest happens on board Galactica. People fighting, graffiti, etc.
-We're all Cylons. Earth was a pure Cylon colony.

Dem the highlights as far as I can remember them.
