Battlestar Galactica:SEASON 2 PREMIERE

[reveal]

Was I the only one screaming, "Obviously she's a Cylon, you blind fool!" to Tigh when he wife was berating him for not disciplining the one guy who could get them back with the fleet? Or is that just my continuing paranoia about her Clyonhood?

Men in love will do stupid things. Thus the saying, "love is blind."

Nope. I hope they space that dumb ho!

And since Baltar told Tigh his wife wasn't a Cylon...whether Tigh likes Baltar or not, that's something.

I think you're supposed to think she's a cylon...

I totally hate her. But - I don't think she's a cylon. I think she's a power-hungry (insert mean word here).

Its an interesting idea.

If she IS a Cylon, her actions are more excusable and understandable because they're supposed to be evil.

If she IS NOT a Cylon, and is just a power-hungry, manipulative !*%^@$, then what does that say about the humans?

Honestly, I could see it being either way.

 

[Vigilance]

Bitch took my ride.

Nuff said.

This Ron Moore guy is pretty good. Trek should get someone like him to run a show for them... oh wait...

I am most likely the only person rooting for the Cyclons to win. I find most of the humans to be either self absorbed writhing on the pity pot or on power trips worring what they are going to get.

I have seen more acts of humanity from some of the cyclons. The cyclons are sentient beings who worship a god and wonder if they have a soul. Yet the humans can only see them as souless toasters.

This episode had some good writing and conflict in it. But I have to wonder why send a healthy uninjured man back for a med kit for a dying man thus putting three people in danger and costing the life of one of the men. That was just plain stupid in the situation they were in.

I think that was intentional. That is, to show the LT doesn't have what it takes to lead and is blaming others for his mistakes and sending them off to clean up his error. Remember the chaos fleeing the camp, the LT insisted everyone leave as fast as possible, while someone else was pointing out the important point that they needed to check that they were taking everything that they will need with them. Real people do make mistakes like this.

I think when the dog tags were pulled from the man, they will eventually be chucked in the LTs face.

I don't think the writers made a bad call writing this all up. We keep seeing the humans making mistakes again and again. The humans are fighting each other and screwing each other over and over. This is just one more scene to remind us of it.

I hope to see those dog tags thrown in his face. I do like that they don't show the humans as perfect and that under stress they make mistakes.

I would like to see a few more hero types and less dysfunctional types. That is one of the reasons I am not a really big fan of this show. I just don't like so many of the characters.

And I'd say you've nailed the core of the series right there. The humans ARE(or were...they're growing some) acting more like toasters than the Cylons. Remember, the Cylons have a plan. I'd be willing to bet it has something to do with this very fact.
