Not that this is going to happen but what if it were Lorne Greene behind the door? That would nicely tie up the whole “this has happened before, it will happen again” bit.
I’m afraid I have to disagree with the way Chuck and Sean saw Gina in this re-watch episode. I think she clearly did care for Baltar in some way, probably by seeing him as her savior from Pegasus.
However, her traumas from her abuse made her very opposed to any physical love between the two of them. When Baltar threatened to leave Gina finally submitted and slept with him, even though it is obvious that she is not enjoying it, as seen by her tears during the scene.
Bah! I started out on a TI-99. With a 16K memory module.
Uphill, both ways.
Get off of my lawn!
I should have added “…not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Because I’m leaning toward the “We’re all Cylons” theory. And maybe you’re a Tighlon. It’s all good.
Cheers
Pike I love your tag!! That rules!
I’m here to confirm that Solai was indeed at the meetings. He had a seat right next to me and Larry.
Yeah, about that…Sean, can you tell Larry to stop hogging the chips?
Speaking of which, how many references to “the meetings” have their been? Two? Was it Brother Cavill (sp?) and Six? And both times, when the Cylons claimed to have not seen the others at the meeting, didn’t they both turn out to be lying/wrong?
That’s another spinoff I’d like to see, along with “Everybody Loves Romo”; surely after season four is resolved, there’s room for at least a TV movie about a boy and his Cylon friend, and all the heartwarming life lessons they learn over the course of their brave adventures – and wacky misadventures!
And you’re totally right: Maybe if Adama wouldn’t have been so quick to pipe the Cylon to death, he could have made a powerful new ally. Instead, he killed the best friend he ever could have had. Except for Tigh. Who was a Cylon anyway.
Yes, I’ll speak to him. He can be so stubborn sometimes… it’s like he’s not listening. I mean I told him the other day to stop killing all humans and all he said was vvvv-vvvv. I mean really!! How cheeky!
Keeping a flashlight hidden “just in case”? Not the best means of dealing with behavior but we have seen it before…
ok–seriously…where the hell did Baltar get the hot chicks that were with him prior tot he Cylons showing up? I mean dang. Is there a ship with just teh hot chicks? Do they come with the position (heh heh hot chicks…position…heh heh). But really,…what the hell.
OK yes, Im playah hating, but still…
One more thing…Chuck, you thought you were mad at the end of Season 2? Imagine if we had the wait we are going through now…AAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!!!
Baltar doesn’t need to find the hot chicks, the hot chicks find HIM.
That’s how much of a man Baltar is. Nuff said…
Wasn’t that evident in the first season with Baltar making out with Playa Palacios on Cloud 9 right before he was elected Vice President?
Quick history note:
William Pitt the Younger was the youngest Prime Minister in British history, he first took the post at when he was 24 years old. BUT, he was called Pitt the Younger because his father was William Pitt the Elder, who had also been Prime Minister of Britain. “The Younger” moneker come from him being the son of Willam Pitt, not from his age when he became Prime Minister.
Meant to mention this. It was just a snobby way of saying “Junior,” taking a cue from the ancients (Pliny the Younger, etc.)
Trs-80 for me. Basic baby.
Welll played… well played indeed!
I think the question from 'sode 5 about same or new cylon is definitively answered in the 'sode. Remember as they fell their guns become fall away and ar presumed lost. Yet after Y.A. (young Adama) crashes in, dispatching said cylon, he picks up that cylon’s gun. We see him with a shiny chrome job, so it is not a colonial weapon. His crashnig thru the roof probably knocked the new toaster for a loop (and a serious smackdown) The only way he could get that gun was from another cylon.
I was watching Rome (the HBO series the other night) and in the Roman wedding ceremony, the Groom is traditionally identified as “Gaius” and the Bride as Gaia. The phrase they would recite translates as, "Where thou art Gaius, I shall be Gaia. The groom would say the same , only switching names.
Gaius, in this context, as a very common Roman praenomen (given name) can be interpreted as a name for “everyman” and Gaia (greek) being the Goddess representing the earth (Terra in Rome, but the romans were into the greeks)
Can “Gaius” Baltar represent in some way elements of the “everyman” seeking a relationship with a would be “gaia” in search of Earth. makes you wonder if they read their ancient stories.
Solai very good point thats what I was about to post! So I would Assume he did tell someone but I bet they never thought the would come back and destroy everything like they did or the Miltary would have never Networked there Vipers again but they did!
All I have to say is glad to hear props to Delaware from Sean! Cause I was born and raised in Delaware… I remeber seeing Wayne’s World in the theaters in Delaware and the crowd roared when Delaware came up and then the Diss and the Boos started. It was great!
Speaking of state mentions, I was going to call this in (and if someone’s already mentioned this, d’oh!) but I’m just too lazy right now: the whole “Oklahoma…OK!” motto on their license plates is not just some uncreative slogan but actually refers to the last line in the title song in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical, Oklahoma.
Mind you, I’ve never been there, but as a musician as I thought we should give Oklahoma some props for having the one license plate that makes a reference to a music lyric (unless New Jersey has gone and finally made “Born to Run” their state song).
Yeah, yeah: I’m a snob.
