Thread: Battlestar Galactica -- Season 4

Why isn't the fleet still in orbit around "Earth"? You never see it in the long shots which make me wonder if they're just putzing around the system. We know that they didn't Jump during the coup. I could see that they wouldn't want to be right on top of "Earth" when the rest of the Cylons get there.

I think that the Resurrection Ship from 3,000+ years ago is still at "Earth", maybe on the far side of the moon or something. Galactica should go look for it. I think the we'll visit there when Sam reloads. Maybe we'll see more models there, including a Kara.

Kara was able to sense the way to Earth, so we know there is something about her that is out of the ordinary. Could she be from Kobol, sent to keep an eye on Humanity?

Not the kind of thing for a cable show, but didnt Cavil know who Ellen was back on New Caprica? If so, considering she in a way basically considers him to be one of her children (in her fathers image), doesnt that mean he knowingly slept with mommy? The idea makes his character even more messed up that he already appears.

I also agree about the new intro. Very well done and in itself answers some things. Thinking more about the Daniel/Kara possibility. Maybe its sort of a backdoor reference to all the "Starbuck is a woman!" nonsense when the show first came out. They can all say "See? Starbuck is really a man!" However, it doesnt explain the new viper clone she had.

With the soul of a hippy. His little speech about wanting to feel the wash of radiation from the Supernova was pretty moving. "I'm not bad, I'm just programmed that way." It sounds like he would rather be at one with the Universe, exploring its mysteries, but he doesn't have the right equipment. Maybe the Final Five left off a certain part of the male anatomy that is the subject of so many commercials late at night...

After all, when John said "He's not a man", Ellen responded with, "As someone with first-hand knowledge, I beg to differ."

There is a "Daniel" character in the "Caprica" prequel. It could be a template for a future Cylon.

At the end of "Sometimes a Great Notion" Adama ordered Gaeta to find a place for the fleet to jump to, and ask the Cylons if they wanted to come along... I assume they jumped...

Yep...she is/was an Earth compass. "WE'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!"

That was classic.

Holding a grudge doesn't even come close, really, to describing it. I'd describe him as one sick, twisted puppy...
