Battlestar Galactica:Season 2; Part 5 NSCR/8.12.05

[Elf Witch]

SO at some point in the past two days, Comcast decides to move SciFi channel off of my cable package, without notification. I had heard this might happen, so I called them ahead of time, and they said, "No, we're not going to do that," and Friday night - no Sci Fi channel.. Lovely.

That bites I hate Comcast I had them when I lived in a different city sCI-FI was always diigital in my area.

My roommate works for a compnay that handles a lot of Comcast billing and trouble shooting. Chicago is one of the areas (its weird south Florida is handle in Cananda.) She says that notification was in the last two bills. Though she is very glad she did not have to work this weekend because our other roomate works at the same place and people have been calling all weekend really upset about this.

SCI-FI is a very popular station and there are plans to move it to digital in all Comcast areas eventually. This is why we got a Direct TV it was cheaper for more stations.

BTW a lot of people have put pressure on Comcast to make it a SCI_FI digital because of the quality of shows like Battlestar Galatica the digital signal is a cleaner brighter signal.

Yeah, but unfortunately, as soon as she opened her eyes, I assumed

Spoiler

that she was a prisoner of the Cylons

-- I was disappointed to find out I was right. It spoiled what would have otherwise been a good plot twist.

Err... this is a thread about Episode 5. I think it's okay to leave out spoiler warnings for that episode here.

In any case, it seemed pretty likely that Starbuck was a prisoner when neither Helo nor Pyramid-boy were around when she woke up.

Was it just me, or was the opening music and the scenes in Ep 5 different than the previous episodes?

I know they changed them for the new season, and 5 may have been the same as 4, but it seemed different in 5 (like showing scenes with a live Adama).

The music's just the non-US music that's been with the series from the beginning over in the UK. And there's also some Season 1 clips in the opening instead of just the miniseries...they also added into the short preview of the episode that was about to start, but it was much shorter than the ones from last season.

NSCR=No Spoiler Caps Required.

Yes.

Also, the first thing I thought was "Wow, that's a lot of lights on. Where's the power coming from, and where are the blackout curtains?"

The doctor-cylon is a really bad liar, too; I really can't believe that having guts liquefy from radiation poisoning isn't painful. Even if you've got vast quantities of supplies, since they're limited, it's probably best to just finish off terminal patients so they don't suffer and draw down your resources. I guess he was counting on Starbuck being doped up so she didn't disbelieve him.

It is going to be interesting to see what happens when Boomer returns to Galactica with Starbuck and Helo. Do you think the Chief will be jealous that she is carrying Helo's baby?

Theory: Adama is the prophet, not Roslin.

Argumentation: In season 1, after the intro theme, we get drumbeat-future-flashes. At end of season 1, Adama gets shot, and goes comatose. Season 2 begins, and drumbeat-future-flashes are gone. At the end of 4th ep of season 2, Adama comes out of coma. And lo, as of the 5th ep, drumbeat-future-flashes are back ...

QED.

One other thing -- I rather like the show, but does anyone else think the science of Battlestar Galactica makes Star Trek look logical and internally consistent? Did all the writers flunk high school biology?

Hmmm, sounds interesting.
