It was a bit annoying with the flip-flopping back and forth between the two storylines, I agree. Had I been the director, I would've edited that whole sequence differently rather than breaking it up so much. In fact, I think I would've kept that episode primarily on the Baltar/Roslin/Adama/Gaita scenes and the Roslin/Caprica scenes and not put so much focus the love story mess. Hopefully they are done with that part of the storyline now.

The Cylons are a bit of a mystery. Their phychology is a bit difficult to wrap one's head around easily.

I thought that the marital problems of Lee and Starbuck was overkilled. It made it even worse that they kept going back and forth with it and in between the Baltar torture.

I do not know why the remaining cylons are "afraid" of knowing the remaining five cylons. Diana was put out of comission and she knew who they were. You would think that the cylons would benefit from knowing who they are... I can't get their way of thinking.

I agree fully.

[rockymtnhigh]

Googled Tricia Helfer and Maxim, and found photos from 2004; is this what it was?

 

[dfergie]

Pretty clean, but good shots of the Cylon... (shes in the Feb Playboy as well...)

I do not know why the remaining cylons are "afraid" of knowing the remaining five cylons.

I don't think they are afraid of knowing. Seems to me they put her down because she disobeyed the collective will and could no longer be trusted. The decision was made before she ever found out, and the cylon who finally talked to her after she discovered the five isn't one of the more religious models anyway and probably didn't believe her story.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Here's what puzzles me: they only mention Baltar and D'Anna as the ones in the heavy raider that continued onward to the planet...yet when they arrived in the temple, a Cavell is with them. Granted, Baltar shot/killed him, but he was there with them, being just as disobedient as D'Anna. So why wasn't the Cavell model boxed too?

HD adds alot to the BSG experience

 

[long_time_DNC]

Oh, no doubt about it! Is BSG being done HD digital from the get-go?

 

[dfergie]

I don't know, Good Question...

Yes, very interesting read. Thanks for the find.

I don't understand it all, but I can see the challenges trying to get film greenscreen techniques to work with HD.

 

[long_time_DNC]

I agree, pretty complicated stuff, but glad I was able to find it.

 

[dfergie]

Good episode last night, (can just imagine the threads at Avs and Tivo though ) I figured the doc to be bad early on, just hoped Helo was vindicated...

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I started watching, but was so preoccupied with work I needed to finish, I decided to stop and wait to rewatch; because I wasn't following the story-line.

I did like when Helo punched Tigh.

 

[long_time_DNC]

I think Tigh liked it when Helo punched him... Otherwise, Helo'd be up on charges...
