nBSG ep 4.14 - "Blood on the Scales" talkback (SPOILERS)

[Skylon]

Remember spoilers about any previews.

[Deathstalker]

Lampkin FTW!

[Skylon]

Damn...the Quorum finally does something right....and gets killed for it.

[CaptJodan]

I'd like to see the apologists for the Gaeta/Zarak line now. Their little moral crusade has totally left the rails.

[Gil Hamilton]

Well, shit!

How do the people who support the mutiny feel now that Zarek and Gaeta have had the Quorum slaughtered in cold blood for not falling into line?

[Sabastian Tombs]

Pesky Quorum, trying to tell the Vice-President what to do.

[Burak Gazan]

Gonna need a new Quorum

And Tigh still awesome x10

[Skylon]

So, Gaeta is the Brutus to Zarek's Cassius here?

[Brother-Captain Gaius]

I think Zarek summed up all the argument from last week's episode pretty well:

"This is a coup. This is what happens."

[Burak Gazan]

Zarek is a murdering terrorist scumbag; it's what he does. Not surprised really, and Gaeta is still a fucking moron idealist

[Gil Hamilton]

Unfortunately for Gaeta, this is all still his fault.

[Agent Fisher]

Good to see that in the end, Kelly did the right thing.

[Skylon]

And that is why Roslin was once called "Stands with Fist".

Points to Lampkin for the savage pen attack.

[Brother-Captain Gaius]

Grr, stupid 1 hour timeslot. No idea what happened with Starbuck and Anders because of it.

[Burak Gazan]

Terminated and flush

They got off way too easy

[Burak Gazan]

Grr, stupid 1 hour timeslot. No idea what happened with Starbuck and Anders because of it.

Lampkin was helping them both get to sickbay, after a change of heart.

[Agent Fisher]

I liked the beat with Geata and his leg at the end there.

[Lonestar]

Did anyone else notice the massive hull damage in engineering?

[Solauren]

Wow. That kicked ass.

I can't think of a single thing wrong with this episode. Not a one.

Poor Gaeta, it stopped itching at the worse (for him), ironic (karmicly), and funniest (for the viewers) time possible.

Gaeta might have had good intentions, but so is paved the roadway to hell.

And as for Zarek, they should have done that so the first episode he was in.

[xerex]

three questions.

who was baltar in bed with ? head Six ? or another six model ?

Did Baltar really speak with Gaeta at the end or was that just Gaeta day dreaming ?

what was with the huge gashes in engineering ?

[Agent Fisher]

Did anyone else notice the massive hull damage in engineering?

Yeah, wondering what was up with that.

EDIT: Oh, xerex, that was just a random Six.

[Burak Gazan]

Did anyone else notice the massive hull damage in engineering?

It looks like some sort of stress fracture, and given it's in the same area as the primary FTL drive, that can't be good

I get the feeling the old girl really has just about had it this time

[Lonestar]

To put it into perspective, USN vessels hit the yards after every deployment. And the past 4-5years have been way more stressful on the Galactica than a 6 month peacetime cruise. Not *exactly* the same, I know, but after the first episode the damage the Galactica took would have probably mandated yard time in peacetime.

[CaptJodan]

Did anyone else notice the massive hull damage in engineering?

And, if I were to a guess, it's a clear signal that the old girl isn't going to make it through the series, in the end. Near the end or at the end, they're going to either have to shove her down Cavil's throat, or have her just up and die, possibly from a hit to that section. Either way, I'm guessing this is foreshadowing her demise.

I thought it was pretty cool to finally see some of the bowls of the ship. Not exactly engineering proper, but we got to see a jump drive, and that was pretty nice.

[Burak Gazan]

To quote the Colonel, "It'd take 6 months in drydock just to hammer out the dents" Yeah, I would say she's way past a 20,000 Ly inspection, or whatever standard used
