BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.5--3/04/07--Arc 16

Did Lee see that by the way? When he said "visual" you had a shot of his viper, Keira's viper and the UFO.

I don't think so. I thought that he just saw her viper and the point-of-view of the camera was behind Apollo's viper. The two ships were the two vipers.

I think.

Truth Seeker - those are great theories. I don't remember much of the original series unfortunately, so I can't speak on the Seraphs. But it seems consistent with what we've seen so far.

Suck ass episode. This season has really bit. I would welcome a ship of light plotline, but I am not sure that the writers can figure out how to write good or heroic characters. Hell, I am constantly wondering why any of them should be alive.

The episode was lame.

Although, Apollo did see a ship of light just before Kara exploded. It was clearly shown.

When have then been trying to?

(and do you mean good in 'not evil' sense, or 'good' in the 'not badly written' sense?)

On my recording, at time index 39:29, I can see 3 ships:
Lee's MK VII, the Heavy Raider (?) and Kara's MK II, at least that's how the three objects look like to me.
Lee is speaking and confirming a Visual (which refers either to Kara or the Raider or both), so I would say we are seeing it from his perspective. If that would be true, the ship was not just in Karas head.

They've never tried, IMO. The humans are flawed, deeply flawed. They continue to put personal pride or desires over the good of humanity. They are wracked with vices, destructive tendencies, inconsistent values, and hypocracy.

That's what makes them great characters.

Well, just listened to the podcast. Certainly makes it seem like a valid character death. Thus far, the podcasts have been pretty honest about spoilers, so I this was exactly as it appeared.

I noticed a mention that Adama destroying the ship seemed like very honest emotion. Apparently that was the case, as it was not scripted, and the ship that Edward James Olmos destroyed on the spur of the moment was a museum quality piece they had been renting, and was worth several hundred thousand dollars.

Heh, you are welcome to it.

Honestly - I thought it sounded like RD Moore on a "look at me and how daring I am" ego trip. I was not impressed.
