S4.E02 SciFi Streaming Frak Party

my first question was- if kara goes off with her ship- how will she find the fleet again…this seems rather iffy…even if she knows the fleet’s course…

i too was bugged by the male final fivers pimping out tory…not fair! she needs her own centurion…

loved the return of the hybrid!

About Roslin.

I will admit, I like her character, though less and less as the series progressed. When she was laying it out for Adama, and was all bitter and sad, then afterwards, starts to cry…

Well, I felt pretty bad for her.

Though with her aim, she HAS to be the final cylon!

…or a member of the A team!

Was that eight about to give Cavel a lap dance? WTF was up with that. I swear I saw a fistfull of singles in Cavel’s hand.

Yeah, that semi-naked tai chi 8 bit was not only a little odd and out of place - but totally skeevy with Cavil looking on like that…yuck

LOL, that was exactly what I was thinking when I saw that!

I try to feel bad for Roslin but she’s been so frakkin stupid the last few episodes that I just can’t. Especially these last two

yeah

I take it all back Audra…Cavil is straight up wrong…

And he got his

Huh. Curious, that.

you get the feeling cavil might not be model #1- but rather appointed himself as such…

Well, I would have to say, that if #1 meant first humanoid cylon after grandpa goo, he would indeed be the closest. The first thing #1 does upon rising up out of the goo is find a mirror…the rest is history…

I feel bad for what she is going through, but I am not necessarily sympathetic to the decisions she makes. However, I can definitely see where she is coming from, like with starbuck.

i feel bad for roslyn as well, that she is dying…but i feel like she is blinded to what is going on from her illness, her assumed role as dying leader, and her need to protect the fleet…at all costs

can’t wait to see her reaction next week…

Frightening thought:

What if the naked Tai-Chi Eight with Cavil in this episode was Boomer? And Cavil influenced Boomer to not side with the rest of the Eights because she’s–with–Cavil?
:eek:

Ew, ew, ew–trying really hard to get that image out of my head…

I felt bad for her the first time through this time though not so much. I can’t see where she’s coming from. Let’s go through her rationale:

  1. Believing Starbuck is a Cylon and then going to talk to a KNOWN Cylon about it
  2. A. She doesn’t believe Starbuck because she could be leading them into a cylon Trap. This is crazy because the Cylons had them dead to rights at the Ionian Nebula.
  3. B. She doesn’t believe Starbuck because she could be trying to lead them the wrong way. This also doesn’t make sense since if the Cylons don’t know how to get to Earth why would they A. Try to kill them at the Ionion Neb and B. Want the Colonials to lead them away from their shared destination

I just don’t get her

No WAY!!! I think they must have some kind of anti-attraction to each other programming. Otherwise, wouldn’t there have been like cylon orgies on basestars with all of them exploring their sexuality? They barely seem to like each other, let alone have the hots - and let’s face it, the female skin jobs are hot, the male skinjobs should be all over that.

I concur. Before the season started, I said one of the things I’d really like to see happen was for Roslin to be put in a situation where she’d have to start questioning whether or not she’s really the Dying Leader. Not only is it making for good drama, but I have a tiny bit of hope that maybe not having that Dying Leader authority to fall back on will lead her back to the way she was in Season 1 and make her a better leader in the end.

I totaly buy that. Not to get to graphic here, but when we have seen eights do naked tai chi before, they are compleatly nude - this eight was not compleatly nude. Perhapse that becuase its Boomer and she has some residual human shyness about fully naked tai chi.

ok. totally creepy. but was this eight the deciding vote? it seemed like it was cavil plus simon and doral and boomer against the rest…or did leoban switch sides later on to side with the 6’s?

That would mean six needs to off Bommer as well

We could probably go round and round with this, but I think Roslins rationale in regard to your points:

  1. Who better to talk about a cylon than with a cylon itself?
    2 The Cylons have nearly killed every human, and continuously try to finish the job, so the Ionian nebula would seem like some sort of fluke, not a sign that Cylons are all warm and fuzzy now.
    They have all seen the video of starbuck’s death, so for all they know she is a cylon. Or it’s a miracle. Either way, from her point of view, she is right to be wary. The Cylons have tried to sabotage the fleet on multiple occasions.

Like I said, I disagree with her, but from her point of view it makes perfect sense.
