nBSG 4.08 [spoilers]

Post by **weemadando** » 2008-05-28 07:00am

Totally watching it now... I'll comment as we go.

Straightaway - Six isn't dead.

Well, now she is. But only after more vision BS.

Adama is being awesome. I'd quote him, but damnit I can't suitably convey the incredulous tone in his voice when responding to Athena's reasoning of "having a vision".

And politicking a go-go. Looks like we're heading for another wave of issues within the fleet over leadership and control.

*intro flashes*
- Tigh choking a bitch.
- Someone's got a derringer.

Woo. The blind lawyer is back.

Oh snap... Looks like things went south in a DAMN hurry for the people on the Basestar. Body count is climbing rapidly I'd say.

Oh, and Galactica just abandoned the fleet to chase the Basestar...

Ah feck it. I'll stop the commentary, but it looks like they've finally got the series back on track.

Really impressed with this ep thus far.

HA-HA!

Tight just got proper fucked. Literally, figuratively.

Edward James Olmos is fucking awesome this episode.

Post by **weemadando** » 2008-05-28 07:34am

SWEET!

All hail President Adama!

All hail Commander of the Fleet Saul Tigh!

And to close it all off - Husker is back.

That's the first ep in quite a while that rates as more than just filler in my books. In fact I can say that I really liked this episode. And I'm hoping that Adama's attitude to do with the mythical BS is carried through as the tone of the final eps.

How are you watching this?

Sky One in the UK is now ahead of Sci Fi US^

I loved this episode, easily the most exciting of the season so far.

From the beginning of the episode I knew for a fact we we're going to end up with President Lee Adama, but I never could have guessed Admiral Tigh.

One thing that didn't make much sense, Lee pointed out that Lampkins cat head been dead for weeks, then what the hell was meowing in his room?

Dammit! I didn't realize you folks were actually seeing the ep already, I skimmed the thread and wished I hadn't.

(But now I'm even MORE excited to see it...in 60 hours.)

I thought they said something about it being a different cat? I'll double-check the episode when I get home.

You sneaky, sneaky British bastards.

That does quite explain how Ando is watching it, though

I don't think the cat was there other than from Lampkin's POV.

I can't quite remember, but were there any scenes where Lampkin was interacting directly with the cat in front of Lee?

Very good episode, liked the fact that Lampkin made it back into this season.

Leland?

The cat was just Lampkin's imagination. It was dead in his gym bag the whole time.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2008-05-29 03:47am

That was a pretty damn good episode. I saw President Lee coming a mile away, but it still didn't disappoint.

Could this be the end of Laura Roslin?

Post by **weemadando** » 2008-05-29 03:59am

I really hope that the prophecy about Starbuck came true.

The basestar is gone and everyone aboard just dead. That'd be an awesome "twist" of sorts.

But we know that won't happen.

And, now we get to see what happens when two skin-jobs have a baby... Is that where Centurions come from mummy?

Wait, what? I thought skinjobs couldn't have children. Wasn't that the whole point of why Athena got Helo to impregnate her?

Clearly there's something rather different with the Final Five.
