I'd love to see that happen. I think his character is fit to become Adama's antithesis (of sorts).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I wish SciFi advertised its return more.
They blitzed the hell out of "JANUARY 21 SUNDAY AT 10" right as the show was going on hiatus and that was it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Poor Gaius. lolz

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was checking out the episode page for 'Rapture' over at Battlestarwiki.com and I saw a high-res image of the Final Five.

Check it out for yourselves and see if you can identify any familiar faces.

I swear that one with his arm out looks like Apollo.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe for this season, but I remember her having much more to do with the inner-workings of the Galactica before the whole New Caprica event.

That being said, I'm not enjoying any of the characters' new directions after they left NC. Granted, the episodes on the planet and the rescue by the two Battlestars was an awesome set of episodes, but after that arc was finished the season's been on a down-slide.

I wish more was being done between Baltar, Gaeta and Six. There's so much potential for the angle of "bastard ex-president/traitor back with the fleet" but they're not using it.
They'll probably just save it until the end of the season to try to sustain a cliffhanger over the break.


As for Woman King, I liked it. It was just one of those "what's going on in the fleet" episodes that is great filler. And we finally got to see more of what Helo's been going through after Sharon came back from the Cylon fleet.
I just don't understand why there isn't more suspicion over Sharon being the same one or not. I mean, how do they know? Sure, the viewers saw her, but the human fleet ought to be a little more concerned. One of the Sharon models did shoot Adama after all.

Additional Post:

A little bit of BSG news:
Sci Fi channel greenlit Season 4; ordered 13 episodes.

Depressingly enough, it won't return until Jan. 2008.

But the news of a new Cylon by the end of this season sounds promising. Any theories, guys?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Lampkin was nothing more than a Gaius zealot from what I gathered.

The note at the end was referring to Lee driving further away from his father and becoming Gaius' ally in the legal proceedings.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Argh, don't remind me of how terribly lame that was. As soon as they starting saying the lyrics "...said the joker to the thief" I yelled lame! at the television set.
The poor TV was so ashamed that it cried during the last 5 minutes of the show.

I don't think that enough has actually "happened" this year in comparison to previous seasons, there's been too much filler episodes that make it look like a space-bound soap-opera as opposed to military sci-fi.

Quoted for truth.

There was way too much filler to even be remotely interesting. This Season only had two good parts:
1) Escaping from New Caprica
2) The Season Finale

Spoiler:

And what gets me is that the damned preview from last week gave the whole "We're cylons" part away. I mean, I knew the voice. I recognized it. Then I started thinking "who's been acting whacky lately? Who's the 'we' that Tyrol meant?" Great job spoiling the episode, Sci Fi.

How ya doing, buddy?
