[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4711857, member: 54707"] I suspect they intentionally plan to lose Galactica. She is basically a wasted hulk now, and possesses very little fighting capability. She also cannot sustain direct hits for long. She would come apart. Best to go in fast, get as close as possible, let everyone board that can, try and take possession of the alien basestar, and if that is not possible then attempt to rescue Hera and then get her and any survivors out through smaller jump capable ships. Of course they need to jump Galactica and the fleet away from each other first so that the Cylons cannot trace them back to each other and the survivors have a safe rendezvous point. If there is anything left of the Galactica at this point, then ram her into the basestar, or push out the main alien mothership/base towards the black hole. Of course the real question is who will the "toasters" eventually side with, though that question may be left for another series. But I don't think the "Dying Leader" is, or ever has, been Roslyn. As a matter of fact I'm willing to bet there is a dying Cylon leader, as well as a Human one. And of course Starbuck is "proof" (as much as anything is proven in the show) that resurrection is possible without the old Resurrection Hub. That (resurrection) alone means that what has happened already can happen again. And says something about [I]Caprica[/I] (the show) and Hera. I've been thinking again a bit lately about how modern SF works and shows have been reinterpreting religion (because of my own work concerning [I][B]God Technology[/B][/I]) and coincidentally came across a couple of sites and articles that have some interesting ideas that some of you might like: [B][URL="http://sfgospel.typepad.com/sf_gospel/"]SF Gospel[/URL][/B] [B][URL="http://www.religiondispatches.org/archive/mediaculture/251/battlestar_galactica_and_the_future_of_american_religion"]Battlestar Galactica and the Future of American Religion [/URL][/B] I'm not saying I necessarily agree with their interpretations, but it is very interesting to me the way religion is reshaping both science fiction, and science itself, at the moment.
