Think you may want to recount. There are 4 “known” females, and 7 “known” males. You left out the Chief. If the last unknown is female, it would be 5 women to 7 men. Kinda odd, because the pictures Xenabot was drawing seemed to indicate 6 of each gender would be the final tally.
Back to when this series is happening in Earth time…do we know anything about whether Relativity affects the fleet? Jump technology apparrently exceeds light speed, and they jump often…
This was posted on another forum: Battlestar Galactica another one year on…
Ah, but isn’t liar liar pants on fire a lesser included offense of perjury, so he could only be convicted of one?
d&r
(I just knew that Duke Law education would come in handy!)
Hera is the product of a human father and a Cylon mother, Nick would be the product of a Cylon father and a human mother. Alot of animal hybrids turn out differently depending on which parent was which species.
Ah frak :smack: ! How did I miss that? :o Anyway so it’s either 8/4 or 7/5.
Well, this “trial” proves I know absolutely nothng about Colonial law. Hell, I would’ve thought Defense Counsel’s Daddy being a Judge was a major problem. Or Defense Counsel taking the witness stand and delivering a closing argument in narrative ramble would be frowned upon. Woulda thought motions to strike non-responsive but dramatic monologues would be sustained, too.
Speculating, but if Gaeta were charged with both liar liar pants on fire and perjury, the Court would probably declare a writ of “boys will be boys” and let him off.
That was one of the problems Roslin mention. Since the Twelve Colonies was a federation each colony had it’s own criminal law (though presumably there was a federal law dealing with things like treason, genocide, war crimes, etc). Then there’s the Colonial Fleet’s legal system (which gives detached flag officers the power to order summary executions during wartime).
Deus ex machina, and generally considered to be bad writing. 
Meaning it would fit right in with the rest of the season, post-New Caprica.
So, how many of those continually complaining about bad writing won’t be joining us next January?

I’ll be there with bells on. Bad Galactica is still lightyeras better than most of the rest of TV, especially now that Rome is over.
I dunno. I quit Andromeda, I quit babylon 5.
I stayed with Enterprise right up to the bitter end. We’ll see. Hell, it’s nine months away. Maybe I’ll have taken a job in Iraq and be watching Mr. Ed reruns.
Nope, Helo is definitely on the bridge after the Vipers launch - he’s the one who asks “Who’s in Viper Three?” Just watched again to confirm. I guess being the substitute XO overrules being the substitute CAG.
Not that he’s much of a CAG anyway - the back seater on a Raptor has no place being the boss of Viper pilots.
You quit B5? :eek:
Like BSG, even bad episodes were better than what else was on. I hope you at least came back for Sleeping In Light.
These threads typically feature analysis and honest criticism of the episode. Usually from serious long term fans with thought provoking observations. If that’s not your cup of tea, you may prefer the fanboi friendly forum at SciFi…
That seems a bit uncalled for. One thing I’ve noticed here is that people really do get into picking the nits sometimes. I can understand if someone gets tired of seeing that.
Just to be clear, I wouldn’t particularly care for this sort of resolution, myself. But I see it as a possibility, given not only Starbuck’s “odd” appearance, but the weird way her Viper seemed to flit around Lee. If it’s not all just in Lee’s head (and wouldn’t that be funny, after he ripped on Roslin in the courtroom for her visions), that Viper moves nothing like the genuine article. Not even the newer Vipers can fly that way.
To be honest, I don’t see it as much better scenario than her actually having survived the implosion of her Viper with the help of Leoben-who-is-not-Leoben and miraculously coming up with another old, intact Viper that she could fly all the way to Earth and back. Guess we’ll find out eventually.
True, but that’s not how I read RDM’s comments. If the Final Five are a fundamentally different kind of Cylon, as he says, then I’d expect the offspring of any of them to be different from Hera.
So, you consider these to be “thought provoking observations” or general complaining?
I can only assume this one will quit…
I thought my question was legit. You don’t like it, tough. If the show is currently so terrible, certainly some these people will stop watching.

I might be mistaken, but was that Macaulay Culkin flying the viper next to Apollo at the end?
All the entertaining speculation aside. . .
Will somebody tell the folks who do outer-space CGI for movies and tv that being in a nebula in interstellar space isn’t like being in a colorful cloudbank? I’ve been seeing that crap on the screen for decades. Where’s Phil Plait?
If you check on the threads for the first couple episodes of the first season you’ll see me asking the same question.
Finding Katee Sackhoff attractive and then realizing that she bears a strong resemblance to Culkin is…unsettling.
