So, a Ship of Fire-Breathing Chickens? :eek:
Bingo.
I am thinking we, uh, their ships would look like the Shadow ships from Babylon 5.
You know…there may be another homage in this episode…
The timing is kind of off due to the writer’s strike happening after the first twelve episodes were shot…but they could have gone back and “enhanced” the episode, right? Right?
This proves that dreams really do come true. 
Without a production team statement, we’ll never know officially.
Unofficially, I am wish you on this Solai.
As I was watching Laura Roslin cross the river, and look up at her family, the person in the center (Mom) looked familiar to me.
A-ha … That’s Barbara Bush. How cool is it that RDM set up a cameo of the United States President’s mother playing the mother of the President of the Twelve Colonies.
Then they had a closer shot.
Well… it would have been cool.
But I wonder if the selection of the actor for Laura’s mom was based on Barbara Bush.
Un-frakkin’-canny.
You know - everyone has been saying that the six on six kiss was all hot and everything. And I’m into hot six on six action just as much as the next person…but that moment when she kissed her wasn’t sexy AT ALL. It was really sad.
What was sad about that? I was totally angry at that Six for killing … forgot her name. I mean, what was she thinking, you can’t go around offing people and the whole “we were trying to help the humans on New Caprica” has been p***ing me off ever since season 3. She deserved to die. Make the Cylons taste some of their own medicine.
Yeah you must have been real broken up about her killing that one character whose name you can’t remember…
I understood the six being upset and messed up - just because the cylons download doesn’t mean dying isn’t extremely traumatic - especially dying the way she did. No she shouldn’t have killed nameless lady but she did get what she deserved - blood for blood.
My point was that the kiss wasn’t sexy - it was a “i’m going to have to kill you” kiss. That’s not sexy to me at all. Maybe it is to you and others…and that’s fine.
Agreed…It was basically a ‘goodbye kiss prior to a murder scene’…not a hot love/sex scene, and not titillating in any way, really. It’s just…well, it’s two Sixes !! 
Well, the only problem with that, and I don’t have a particular problem with that Six being killed, she just murdered a human in cold blood, so have at her, was the way it was done…I would have preferred a ‘turn, see the Six kill the human, shoot the Six’ scenerio, rather than the premeditated, calm execution that Natalie pulled off. Somewhere here these characters have got to stop killing each other if anybody at all is going to make Earthfall.
Execution by a fellow Cylon worked better than if Anders had shot right away. Because this way, she was killed by another Cylon, so the Cylons and the humans agreed upon her penalty. Wasn’t exactly a fair trial, but better than Anders just rashly shooting someone - again!
Yeah, I agree that it worked better for the Human/Cylon relations factor that the group needs to work together…it was still creepy though.
I agree - at some point these two groups are going to have to come together if they are going to survive - but there is so much bitterness on both sides and neither can quite see the other’s perspective. I guess it’s like any war - both sides believe they are right - even when they aren’t. The cylons have justifications and rationalizations for their behavior just like any other group. But I do think that Natalie killing the other six was necessary for them to get past the whole thing - she knew she had to do it in order for their truce to work. That six was never going to be able to be around the humans anyway - she was too messed up.
Maybe someone else mentioned this, but everyone seems too interested in this week’s BSG to care… <G> … but Mr. Roper wasn’t the landlord on “Three’s Company” (I don’t think) who wore the floral shirts. That would have been the second landlord, Mr. Farley, played to perfection by Don Knotts.
I know intricacies of “Three’s Company” lore. I must now hang my skeevy head in shame.
Great podcast, as ever!
Maybe someone mentioned this, too, but I was watching the show with closed captions on (my sleeping wife not being a BSG fan!), and I believe it read “one of the few,” not “one of you” (re: Starbuck and the music.).
Yeah, Roslin was definitely wearing a bald cap. I had to wear one when I was Daddy Warbucks in my high school production of “Annie,” and they are not comfortable at all. But when the makeup folks apply the spirit gum remover around the edge of the cap and peel it off, it is the most incredible feeling, I kid you not. Makes it all worthwhile.
Having put spirit gum on small portions of my face, I can NOT imagine putting it all over my head!
If it’s any comfort, it only goes on the edges. OTOH, they put some kind of oily stuff on your hair to make it lie down.
Is it just me or does anyone else think it is a bit weird Helo and Athena presumably left Hera alone for two months to chase after the-gods-know-what? Presumably with the fleet being short of humans they would have more ‘family friendly’ policies??
How much of the fleet would accept Helo, Athena, and Hera as a “family”? I doubt very many would. Considering how bad of an idea it would have been if Hera rode along on the Demetrius, staying on the Galactica was probably safest perhaps. Dee possibly was taking care of Hera these past few episodes…which would explain Dee’s on-screen absence.
Considering Athena’s psycho-mom bit from the teaser, it looks like Hera’s been sharing dreams with Caprica Six and Laura Roslin while Athena was away.
