In the UK, we've just had the one with frak-crazy Kara (too hot for words) and the end of lovely Cally.
Where are we in relation to the US broadcasts? I'm scared to come on here due to spoilers.
ETA Don't worry, I had a look on TWOP and we seem to be right up to date.

But will they find earth, or do we have to wait for another Barry Van Dyke special!
I remember seeing that, so bad. I wonder if they''ll have earth (if they find it) as 'backward', i.e. present tech rather than future tech, or whether it will be an earth of the future. Clearly we're unaware of our cool ass space roots. I'm borrowing series 1 tomorrow. W00t!

It's going to be so weird if that is the case. Science fiction can work because it is separate from our own reality so it's easier to accept the stranger elements, but bring the two together and it may become difficult to suspend the disbelief. Thus, a future Earth may work better.
And surely a scenario that involves finding Earth at all can not be resolved in this, the final season...

In my opinion the final cylon is Gaeta
ipse dixit
Apr 23 2008, 11:07 AM
Wouldn't that just be a bit rubbish, though? I dunno, I can't think of anyone that it could turn out to be that would impress me now. Roslin and Adama seem too obvious, Balthar and Starbuck have been suspected already, but there aren't many other characters that feel important enough for it to matter. So then the other option is to have a new character come in, but that would mean there was no dramatic reveal and after 4 seasons of guessing, it feels like it really ought to be someone we already know.

It would be a letdown if Gaeta was the final Cylon but Im thinking they (writers) may be banking on someone in the background instead of all the commotion over the big figureheads being the final Cylon....I wouldnt even put it past them to have Cally as one.
I mean, imagine the implications if Cally was a Cylon, her and Tyrol have had a baby and that baby could be the first full Cylon child born to 2 Cylons. Also, didnt Cally say she was suffering insomnia at the end of Season 3 just as the other 4 started to hear music bringing them together - she took pills, maybe those pills countered the music, I dont know, Im reaching here but its possible that Cally could be the final Cylon - Id prefer her over Gaeta

Which one? Tyrol getting the sack, Baltar being poltergeist'ed by Head-Six in front of everyone, or Caprica Six beating the shit out of Tigh and then making out with him?
All pretty stunning. What a claustrophobic episode, though. Except for the quorum meeting on Colonial One, the whole thing took place on Galactica and I swear the hallways are getting smaller. Or maybe they're shooting it to look that way, which would be evil (and brilliant.)

Ever since New Caprica, they've taken on civilians who needed shelter after a number of ships in the fleet were destroyed. (See: "The Woman King", the episode last season where Helo stepped up to the plate for those wacky Sagittarons.)
Baltar's culty harem are some of those civvies; as they stated in an earlier ep, though, none of the other ships want to harbor him after his acquittal. And as Adama noted this week, they could force one of them to take him but Roslin said she didn't want to do that, she'd rather keep an eye on him.
