S4.E07 Streaming "Preview" Frak Party

Is anyone actually getting a full ten minutes?

I got about 9 minutes and that included the longest “previously” sequence ever, the credits and an Intel Centrino commercial. I still loved it. Gave me the shivers! :smiley:

-K

Mine clocked in at 9 minutes, including all the aformentioned craaaap…I guess “Your 4 minute preview will begin in moments” just doesn’t play well.

So we can riff on this preview thread without spoiler tabs, yes ?

I think so, yes. Let’s make this the official piratey warning to all who enter:

BEWARE: Spoilers Lie Ahead. Ye be warned, Spoiler Avoiders! If ye continue to read, it be ye own fault if ye be spoiled! Arrrrgggh!

I would think so; it’s clear to anybody who wanders in here what they’re wandering into. I know I’d enjoy reading some reactions while I wait to see the first eight minutes of it I missed at the 9:00 showing; otherwise, I’m going to have to surf the Skiffy boards until then shudders a little. That or watch all the David Eick Videoblogs again (Although the new one’s kinda cute; sounds like everybody was hung over for this season’s photo shoot. BSG has an incredibly pretty cast, but really, it’s not fair that they can be that pretty even hung over.)

HOW THE FRAK IS TIGH GOING TO EXPLAIN HOLDING FIRE ON THE FRAKKING BASESTAR !!!?

“Uh, um, just a hunch, Bill.”
“Sorry, I’m drunk, Bill.”
“We have no effects budget for this, Bill !!”
"Psych !"
“Arrrgh.”

Are the FF’ers so attuned to their new senses that they can ‘feel’ each other even from the distance between the basestar and Galactica ? Did Tigh sense Anders on that ship ?

CGI detailing on that basestar…AWESOME. And lots of new shots/angles on Galactica, really cool !Lots of mileage on the old bucket now…

Yeah, as long as its in the preview no spoiler tags needed.

I may be wrong, but…
[spoiler]During the teaser clips for the episode at the end of the preview, I think I saw some type of Cylon construct that we’ve never seen before !!
I think we saw…The Core ! I really do.[/spoiler]

Yay, actually connected this time! Some thoughts:

~How did Baltar find out about the shared visions? The only way I can think of is he somehow got access to Caprica Six, because Laura and Athena surely didn’t tell him. How would he do that? Or maybe one of Caprica Six’s guards is a new convert??

~Lee’s “shared visions with CYLONS? WTF?!?” expression: :D. It seems like the Adama men are constantly surrounded by people who inspire “WTF?!” expressions.

~Why was Sharon so surprised the Cylons knew Hera’s name?

~Excellent FX shots all around this year. I especially liked the shots of the civilian ships swerving to miss the newly-arrived basestar (they looked so tiny in comparison!) and the POV shot from Galactica’s battery. Did NBC-U give BSG a bigger budget or something this year?

~Yeah, how is Tigh going to explain that one? It reminded me a bit of the scene in “Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down” when Tigh launches the Vipers on a hunch and ends up saving Galactica from the kamikaze Raider; that time, Adama praised him for his quick thinking, but this time, it’s just too weird to let it pass as “just a hunch.”

~Since I know some folks don’t watch the poundy drums section at the end of the credits:
[spoiler]So it looks like they’re plugging the Hybrid back in. Hmm…does somebody want to hear some prophecy? I wonder if/how anyone will react to the whole Kara=harbinger of death thing.[/spoiler]

Looks like another good one. Can’t wait for tonight!

Yes, good to see some Lee again ! And making sense, even.:slight_smile:
Remember, Baltar’s got all the info he needs…who’s his new girlfriend ??? The prez’s girl-friday. Whatever the Prez knows, Tory knows…on to Baltar…best spy setup in the fleet.

So true…

Baltars just gossiping about folks now “Gurrrrrlll, did you hear what the president did…well, my gurl Tory told me, that Rolsin told her…gurrrrlll”" :smiley:

This was a pretty weak preview, and not anything you couldn’t get from the trailers that have been released. [shaking fist at screen]Damn you skiffy! Why cant you show the whole episode like you used to??!![/shaking fist at screen]
