Extended Bonus Scene​

Baltar's trial continues. The prosecution presents evidence of treason committed on New Caprica amid testimony from Col. Tigh and President Roslin. Six knows about Ellen's murder calls Tigh on it. Tigh and Six fight over it.​

It's frustrating I'll have to wait another week for the conclusion, but I sense there's going to be a big mind-frak coming in terms of Roslin's visions coming back, the clue to earth in the Ionian Nebula, the music that Saul Tigh, Tory Foster and Samuel Anders hears, and the statement that Helo said about feeling that a storm is coming...

I don't know if hearing the music suggests that person is a cylon, but we're probably going to get another finale with the last 15 minutes of "what the hell just happened?"

Nice, I felt things were moving forward. Anders and Seelix hitting it off. Or perhaps something with Roslin's aide?

Roslin's cancer coming back was sort of predictable, since she is supposed to die before earth. I'm sure they will come up with a reason why further blood transfusions from Hera won't work. Or maybe it has to be periodical, as a metaphor for humans needing cyclons.

Can't wait to see what the radio and the music thing is all about. Initially, I felt it was the tracking device the cylons use, but they kinda muddled that with the fuel ship radiation thing.

 

[Mallus]

The (too?) obvious answer is "hearing music" = "Cylon", but I'm hoping my original theory is right and that all the humans are Cylons, at least in the sense that they're an artificial race created by the human Lords of Kobol, who in turn went on to create a rebellious artificial race of their own.

 

[jhallum]

Well, if they are all cylon's, then D'Anna's comment when she saw one of the final five in the vision in the Temple certainly does make sense.

The problem I have with the ends of the seasons (both last season and this season) is that people act so out of character to bring about the changes necessary for the tension. Like last night. If Lee and the Captain hadn't acted so out of character for each of them, the whole thing with the trial would have never happened. It's the biggest beef I have with things so far. I would so much prefer that these things get telegraphed a little more, rather than get sprung on us in the second to last episode.

I like this episode but I have to agree that the Lee-Odama scenes were a little heavy-handed. I like the tension between them but it seems that Odama has been acting very out-of-character in the past couple of episodes.

The opening statement by the lawyer and the scene between Baltar, Lee, and the lawyer were great, especially when he was grilling Lee on his motivation for working on the trial. He has consistently taken control of every scene he has been in.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

The prosecutor was an idiot for putting Tigh on the stand. His animosity for Baltar is so well known, any defense lawyer could discredit it.

I am very curious about the radio and the music Tigh and Anders kept hearing. Is it the signal that the cylons are using to follow the fleet?

And I know never to trust anything from a BSG trailer, but my wife and I could not agree; in the coming attrations I thought I heard Anders say, "We're all cylons," but my wife heard "They're all cylons." Or were we both wrong?

I thought I heard "We're all cylons", but it wasn't very clear.

I thinking the music is a cylon psychological warfare activity. It seems to be making some folks more on edge and could explain the Adamas' falling out.

I'd be really bummed if it turns out they are all cylons or if Admiral Adama is at least.

I guess we'll see where this goes.

How many episodes left this season?

Thanks,
Rich

 

[Mallus]

I'd be really bummed if it turns out they are all cylons...

How come? The show has worked the "this has all happened before" and "cylons are people, too" --which works equally well meaning "people are cylons, too"-- angles since the beginning.

I'm not sure that's where they're going, but it wouldn't be much of a surprise if it was.

 

[Sir Brennen]

I was thinking Anders was saying "We're all cylons" to an immediate group of people, like those who are hearing the music, not neccessarily meaning the whole human race. And of course he's going to be way off base because they always do that mis-direction thing in the teasers.

My thoughts... the music has something to do with the approach to the next Earth signpost they're expecting to find in the nebula. Also, didn't the "Ships of Light" in the old series have weird music associated with them?

Either that or Starbuck has launched a pirate radio station in the afterlife...
