Oops --- I meant, the Baltar did it.

They did manage to fix that thing where spacecraft would pass by and there was the loud WHOOOSHING noise, in the hard vacuum of interstellar space. And they canned those ridiculous time units.

The new version is MUCH improved.

of course, i do have a few issues with the plot so far:

1 why did they let their guard down so much at new caprica? stupid

2 if you have an identical twin, does everybody think youre cylons?

3 why did pegasus 6 blow up cloud 9? because she was still suicidal? revenge? or did she figure there was a chance the cylons would see it?

4 why did the cylons come after the humans after they said they wouldnt? was it all a ruse to get them to let their guard down?

5 is baltar not seeing caprica 6 anymore, since hes flouncing about with all those bimbos? and is she really just a hallucination, or something more?

6 whats going to happen to sharon? and baby hera?

im so tingly with anticipation

I thought it was a nice twist that #6 had Baltar in HER head, LOL
Tilt

for that reason, im inclined to go with the theory that 6 is just a hallucination borne of his tremendous sense of guilt, since theres no way he is anything but a hallucination in her head

another thing: its awfully suspicious that racetrack jumped to the wrong coordinates in the attack on caprica and JUST HAPPENED to find an inhabitable planet. what are the odds of that? like, 3 tribillion to .00001? methinks sharon might have had a hand in that

baltars not a cylon. if he was, they wouldnt have needed 6 to seduce him and get all the defense secrets. silly human

he is a cylon especially made to spy on the humans... dissconnected from the rest. he has bought his own cover and the cylons can't get the info from him. they can't kill him because if he did he would download and know he was a cylon. so they keep him just alive enough to be afraid of dying so they can milk him for information and keep him wondering if he is a cylon.

I couldn't find any photos of Maren Jensen in any less clothing.

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the television screen, Maren Kawehilani Jensen was born in California of Danish and Hawaiian parents - a most auspicious combination, in our opinion.

Sorry, Bearmagnet...

I think Baltar is a cylon because according to one of the shows cylon psychology is based on projection, being able to project things aka six all the time in his life....I also think Starbuck is a Cylon. Earlier in one of the seasons when she had captured one of the male Cylons and he jumped across the table and told her she had a destiny...I think that's it. Plus Lucy Lawless's character said sorry to one of the final five cylons who we didn't see their faces...I love this show.

other than that, not a damn thing!

They had some 'behind the scenes' thing last year and she said she got some strange looks at the grocery store. Guys would be talking to her, then get this look when they recognized her... like sheer terror, LMAO!!

I believe that's what they used to call 'approach-avoidance conflict' back in the bad old days.

4 episodes into season 3 now, and already im confused.

first of all, why did the cylons come back? they said they were going to leave the humans alone. and how are they able to download? their resurrection ship was destroyed months ago.

i think theres some sloppy writing going on. the reason for their return was barely touched upon, some vague saving mankind from itself BS, and their renewed ability to resurrect was not mentioned at all. its like the writers forgot the resurrection ship was destroyed. all they would have to do is have one character, it could be adama, it could be anyone, say one or two sentences about it: "they built a new resurrection ship".

i think the cylons stopped attacking because their resurrection ship was destroyed, and they returned when a new one was built. there are lots of plausible scenarios, but theyre not even breached. plus, i think the writers are trying too hard to be allegorical. they hit the viewer over the head with the whole cylons occupying new caprica/ u.s. occupation of iraq metaphor, its kind of annoying. just write me a good sci-fi story and leave the politics out of it.

and another thing, how did zarek become president? i havent figured that one out. was he vice president under baltar? i certainly dont recall another election

now that theyre back in space, the show has found its groove again. the storyline with gayda was riveting, even if you knew how it was going to turn out. ive been wanting them to do a storyline with him. next id like to see a storyline more prominently featuring president rosalyns aide, that hot indian/paki chick

overall, i thought the new caprica episodes were not quite up to par, but now that theyre back in space where they belong, this show is operating at full capacity

There has been a lot of "stuff" going on with the storyline that either appears inconsistent, or a leader to be explained later.

I've seen the whole season. You think this is phucked up; wait until you get to the end of the season run....
