The wait is killing me...

 

[Sir Brennen]

So... when does the season pick up again? I thought the delay until Oct. this year was so they could have a more "continuous" season, without the interruption of several months in the middle...

According to the site http://epguides.com/BattlestarGalactica/ it will start on 21 January 2007. Note the new time slot next year (and hope it works to improve BSG ratings )

I'm wondering how this one will turn out... Even if it's a month wait, it's going to be brutal.

And this episode was filmed in Kamloops for the planet, rather than Van.

Good episode, this next month is going to seem like an eternity. Adama has solid titanium balls, I really thought he was bluffing at first. And I thought it was pretty funny that the cylons offered Baltar as part of their agreement.

 

[Chimera]

I missed the episode because I had to work second shift today.

Can someone please provide a summary? Much appreciated.

 

[Wycen]

I was going to voice my displeasure with Apollo and Starbuck screwing around, but screw it. Hopefully Adama nukes the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Great episode. The mid-season cliff-hangers are always good.

I like the one-offs too, don't get me wrong - but ...

I really DO prefer the steak of the mythos episodes.

Ok - Predictions:

1 - Cylons break off landing raiders except for one; Adama lets that one go figuring they should be able to hold it off (and readies to send help himself)

2- Dann'a and Baltar get into the Temple and get some revelation; some other info is gained by Galactica but not toally appreciated. Danna' is killed (info back to baseship) but Baltar is not killed.

3- End of the day - Galactica turns over a Busted Eye of
Jupiter as star is about to go Nova, but the kicker is....

Galactica has Baltar and they are not giving him back.

Be prepared for a three of four episode long arc involving Baltar's trial for high treason.

A thought, where did they get the extra nukes?

They originally got 5 nuclear warheads from Ragnar Anchorage in the mini-series. They used one to destroy the base ship above Kobol, and the one Baltar was given for his detector was used to destroy Cloud Nine above New Caprica, and I keep wanting to think a third was used sometime (I might be wrong about that). So they have three, maybe two weapons from Ragnar.

Adama orders weapons "four through ten" armed, and we see 7 nuclear missles rise on their launchers. Did Lee also have the nukes from Pegasus offloaded when he was preparing to scuttle the ship? Did they manage to build extra nuclear weapons with the fabrication facilities on Pegasus like they did vipers, and just not mention it?
