LOL ! Just kidding, Steve !
Can’t wait to download the new 'cast ! If I counted all the dirty looks I’ve gotten today checking iTunes over and over…um, it’s a big number.
gives dirty look lol.
Oops !
Woot!!!
My week can start off 100% better than my last one ended!!
First I get in a wreck then I miss the 100th ep. last week SUCKED.
YOU get dirty looks???
You too, huh?
Not from my desk chair, that much is certain.
It’s 9:30 am and I’ve run out of cereals. I don’t like having to go grocery shopping before breakfast.
You must live in the now, Padawan, but plan breakfast for the future…now, stop with the whining and go buy some Weetabix…
and get some yogurt, a melon, and a red rose for your girlfriend…chicks dig that stuff…
Oh my, I went to that smaller store ‘cause it’s nearer and they don’t have Wheetabix, so I got myself some “Nestlé Fitness” - it’s not the real breakfast for champions, but at least it’s crunchy.
No rose for the GF, though, I’m babysitting my parents’ place here as long as they’re on vacation up on the North Sea.
so where be the cast already? I’m dying to hear that highlight reel
Me too. My wife as well. It just does not seem like the complete BSG episode experience without seeing the show and then hearing the GWC podcast for that episode.
I know Chuck is working it through the system as fast as possible, but like any junkie, I need my GWC fix.
To get back to the episode:
Was there any real reason for why the Demetrius didn’t jump to the fleet first just to give them a little warning that there was going to be a basestar coming soon?
I mean, TWO almost fatal system failures (Demetrius’ jump drive AND the basestar’s communications) just stretched my suspension of disbelief very far, actually beyond its breaking point.
Considering the relative condition of both ships, such was far too believable to me. Then again, I’ve been watching Twitter have a nervous breakdown over the weekend. If anything, such was almost [i]too[/i] realistic for me.
That bugged me too. When Starbuck said that both of them going together was the only way that they wouldn’t get blown out of the sky, I was practically screaming at the TV. Obviously that wasn’t true. It was so short-sighted and reckless.
On the other hand, it was completely a “Starbuck’s in charge” moment, so I guess that explains it. 
But that’s so impractical. When a ship on the ocean (a wooden sailing ship, for instance:)) loses its radio capability, they still have their arsenal of little signal flags that they can raise and they have searchlights with which they can send morse codes. Surely, with basestars being the sophisticated space vessel that they are, they have a signal light with which to morse. We saw Boomer do the same with a mere raptor in “33”
Signal light from a basestar? What emits light on that thing? If anything, this adds to believability. Such brings about the notion that the Cylons apparently did not find such to be necessary or useful to develop. To Cylons, signal lights are laughable Colonial toys. This would represent cultural divergence between the two sides. Man might have created the Cylons and the Cylons might have adopted the image of Man…something got lost in translation, though.
My first thought was that they should “waggle” the basestar’s arms.
There must have been some means of communications left.
