Thanks Joe. I missed that about Zarek; glad he got his.

I added the Basestars and Resurrection ship cap shown in the previews... Stock footage? or replacement from Cylon homeworld or Caprica...

No prob, Mike. You can see Zarek's nose in the foreground of the pic of Gaeta in profile in the launch bay that Don posted and also seated next to Gaeta in the "Did They?" pic as well.

About the "Did They?" pic: after what Gaeta and Zarek did, yeah, I think they've definitely been executed. Zarek had the quorum executed without even a second thought and Adama was going to be next...if that doesn't warrant execution, what does? Gaeta staged a mutiny... automatic execution right there, no ifs, ands or buts. As for the Base ships and the Rez ship cap, I'm guessing stock footage, but we really can't assume anything at this point.

Really liked the scene where Kara took out the guard in the restroom.

Even in slo-mo I couldn't get a clean cap ... don't make her mad! that scene would be a good gif

**long_time_DNC** · 02-07-2009 02:58 PM

I'll have to capture it and turn it into a gif. Be worth a try anyway.

I see it clearly from Don's screen capture; I just missed that scene when watching, not sure how. All I saw was felix talking about his leg, and then the shot.

In many ways I think Felix was emotionally flawed; and just a psychological mess

**long_time_DNC** · 02-07-2009 05:06 PM

I think Felix would've been okay, even after serving under Baltar's regiem...but I think Adama giving the "magical Starbuck" a garbage skow of a ship, her jumping around, painting weird stuff and getting all weird on them, then picking up Leoben, then finding the damaged Base ship, getting his leg shot off, finding out other skinjobs were in the fleet, Dee killing herself right after he talked with her and then, oh, cylon tech on the fleet whether they want it or not and the cylons will be part of the fleet too....I think that whole thing just sent him over the edge...and he realized it...which is why he called for the weapons hold.

He saw what Zarek really was, what was actually happening, how many people had died (and how many more were likely to die) and he realized what he'd done...

Uh, they're Cylons. Of course, it's an automated process; they're all machines...

But seriously, If the Cylons have the Resurrection Ship back on-line (or a different one) then that brings up the question of what has been happening on the Cylon Homeworld all these years. Humanity had a fleet, the Cylons had a fleet, but where were the rest of the Cylons? Did the Cylon Civil War reach back to the Homeworld?

Yeah, they have a helluva lot of explaining to do about the whole lost 13th tribe being a tribe of cylons, who apparently were organic and not mechanical. Since the "story" of the cylons is that they were basically robots created to serve the humans, who then turned on their masters.

Indeed, I have been reading the BSG Cylon War Comic, (only the first issue is out), but they claim to be have story-lines created with the producers of the show. And it takes places in the time-period before the cylons rise up from household servants to well... centurion toasters. I know, not canon, but still....

there is so much to explain, and SO LITTLE TIME. Sadly, March 20th will be here before we know it.

Maybe those big cracks in the engine room are simply covering something up, hidden away in the ship from when it was first constructed. I got the sense that Galen was more surprised than simply thinking "uh oh"... as tho it shouldnt be there, even via battle damage. But I could be totally wrong.

As for where the different goo-tub is... arent they still near Earth? Or did they jump away already? Maybe thats where it is considering that they all had to be reborn somewhere the first time. It doesnt explain the centurion tho.
