I think next week, we should have two threads for Battlestar. We may need a live thread for those on the East Coast that want to comment on the spoilers of the final moments and one for post-show analysis. Anyway, I’m guessing that tonight, Bill decides to go take on Cavil. Let Galacitca be frakked, he’s going to go in and blow stuff up. You? ---

It sure doesn’t feel like they’re close enough to the end to be two episodes away. And isn’t there, like, more than one Cavil? ---

I think two threads would be hopelessly confusing. It is one show, so one thread. Either everyone who wants to post before the west coasters needs to spoiler-box their stuff, or the west coasters will have to endure what all the other delayed-viewers have to endure in avoiding threads wherein they might be spoiled. ---

First it was “Galactica has three jumps in her.” Last week it was “Galactica has five jumps left.” With the Cylon upgrades I assume. So, bets on how many jumps it takes to get to [del]the center of a tootsie-pop[/del] the Colony? ---

Just a heads up, to those with DVRs. I don’t know where the program info comes from, but I just noticed that my DVR wasn’t set to record tonight (I have a series recording set up). Looking at the program info, it says original air date “March 13, 2008” (so it thinks it’s a repeat), and lists the cast as “Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch, Lorne Greene, etc.” (original series). Wierd. FWIW, I have AT&T Uverse SciFiHD. So you might want to double-check, ESPECIALLY if you have AT&T IPTV. ---

\… when did the show change to “Days of our Battlestar” Enough Soap Opera In…Space!, more 'splodey! Yes, i know, they’re setting up the backstory of the day before the Cylon Genocide Mark II… it’s just kinda’ hard to care for the ancillary characters they’re introducing now, since they’re all radioactive worm food (Band Name!) by this point in the narrative ---

Oh, please. Anyone who didn’t know that this episode would be a slow start up, and suddenly go all whacky at the very end to stop on a cliffhanger just hasn’t been paying attention. That’s what they do in their season enders. ---
