She was an evil whack-job Cylon who used sex to get next to Caine, however many drives the Pegasus took. 
No, no, no. Hot chick Cylons are more than willing to get some hot chick-on-chick action to carry out their nefarious goals. That’s totally not gay. That’s hot chick-on-chick. Entirely dif genre. See: Moore, Ron. Action, hot, chick-on-chick, sub-reference: “arch-type.” 
I thought I said that…but thanks for the explanation.
No, no. I’ll tell you what you said. 
Give me your sidearm.
Why the hell are you wearing the damn thing on the bridge, anyway?
Repeat for the second page, could someone tell me where all the people who downloaded snagged it?
I couldn’t see it that night, and a DVD is not in the immediate future for me.
Was this before or after they were boarded by a Cylon raiding party? Either way it’s a bit odd.
By golly, I think it was after. Whats-his-name was alive and well on the bridge when Shaw showed them the dead Six. Something else to watch for when I burn it to DVD from the DVR.
The HLOTS actress that floated my boat was Callie Thorne.
Hmm, I’ll have to see it again. I remember it as being before. They were discussing the merits of the attack (so they still had a chance to get away) when the CO got his head shot. I don’t recall the battle having actually started. It definitely had when Gina was in the CIC.
There are all kinds of places, rather a torrent of them, that one would be able to obtain a copy of Razor.
I just watched it tonight and I must say, I enjoyed it. Great action sequences, nice background story to Peg., learned alot more about the former Admiral. Very interesting.
Well, after watching the extended directors cut of Razor, the reason the Toasters were CGI is that Ron Moore and Co. wanted them to be fully mechanical and not “guys in suits”
Finally got around to watching this, and I was moderately disappointed. I guess my biggest beef is a big flaw of the show in general, which is the whole idea that a “war” could continue to go on in these circumstances is laughable. You have one antique spaceship (or in the case of Pegasus, one modern spaceship). It has a faster-than-light drive. You have an entire galaxy to get lost in. Which is unimaginably huge. Your opponents are an entire civilization who have already killed 18 billion of you, leaving just 50,000 behind. They have all of their military forces basically intact, and continue to have planets full of industry to build more. And yet somehow you keep fighting them, and it even seems kind of like a fair fight, rather than just getting the heck out of there and trying to preserve the human race. And if you “get out of there” in space, you don’t keep randomly blundering into them. You just go some random direction for a few hundred light years and they will NEVER find you.
It’s just incomprehensibly silly.
More specifically, Admiral Kane was so over-the-top evil/wrong/stupid that I could not believe that anyone would follow or respect her. Your XO, who you presumably trust and joke around with, states that his conscience prohibits him from following an order, and you SHOOT HIM DEAD IN COLD BLOOD? Come ON!
MaxtheVool, I’ve gotta call you on a couple elements here:
-
The Pegasus/Admiral Cain made the decision to continue to fight the Cylons, as she stated in her speech to the crew, “for revenge”. For all she knew they were the only surviving humans and she decided to go down swinging. Galactica/Adama decided not to pursue the Cylons in a war that as President Roslin said, “was lost”. So Galactica decided they would pursue another goal…to find Earth. But the Cylons keep finding them which is what continues to drive the series in general.
-
From what I understand about the FTL drives (and I really don’t pay alot of attention to all the technical stuff) they have to make calculations about where to jump and there are limitations about how far they can jump. I think.
-
While I can definitely believe why people would follow Admiral Cain, (ie, they will get shot if they don’t, like the XO!!!) I do not believe why any of them would respect her. My main problem with the Pegasus under Cain was that no one had backbone enough to mount up a mutiny against her. It might have made a more interesting story if Shaw decided to go against Cain rather than to join her. Then again, I think Moore is using the Pegasus as a metaphor for how humans can blindly follow someone when in their hearts they are doing the wrong thing (such as, Hitler was pretty evil/wrong and he had plenty of followers). And they were contrasting Pegasus with Galactica…remember Adama initially wanted to do the same thing Cain did…fight the Cylons, pursue them, etc. It was Roslyn who got him to see that the goal was saving the human race, not destroying the Cylons.
Right. Which is a decision of such breathtaking, monumental stupidity that it staggers the mind. And apparently not a single person called her on it?
Which continues to make no sense. Space is not finite. If you and I are locked into a house, and you keep running away, I’ll keep finding you. If you and I are in space with faster than light drives, and you make a concerted effort to get away, I will NEVER find you, barring some technological or mystical power not yet mentioned on the show. Now, granted, the situation might call for suspension of disbelief, but part of what bugs me about BSG (and bear in mind here that I do overall enjoy it) is that it takes itself so seriously, it so very clearly tries to be gritty and authentic and no-sound-in-space and shades-of-gray, that I find suspension of disbelief much more difficult than on a show like, say, 24. But I’ve ranted about that in other threads.
So what? Spend two weeks picking random stars that are kind of away from where you started, jumping to them, and repeating. You will never be found. Never.
This part doesn’t bother me too much. It’s been established the Colonials can more or less only jump a limited number of light years per jump. A single Cylon Raider OTOH, doesn’t seem to have any limits we’ve been shown yet. A Raider made the jump from New Caprica to Caprica in one jump. Colonial Raptors, even assisted by a Cylon jump computer, had to make the same trip in something like 16 jumps.
Given a Cylon Basestar has 300 Raiders, and the Cylons have who knows how many Basestars, it seems reasonable to me they could quickly scout out every star system the fleet could possibly jump to. I’m surprised they don’t regularly find them faster.
What bugs me is given the Cylons’ ability to scout out every interesting looking solar system in the galaxy within a reasonable timeframe, why haven’t the Cylons found earth already?
Or have they?
Well, it’s a bloody big galaxy (universe?). The Cylons could very well have the resources to comb the area that Galactica et al could jump to in a reasonable timeframe, without being able to search every system in the galaxy.
The contrast with our own history is remarkable, isn’t it? I mean, when we look backward, we can’t find even one example from our recorded past of a leader making a colossally stupid decision and the population going along with it. Not one.
I guess it’s one of those, whaddaya call it, suspension of disbelief things.
They were discovered when they settled on plant What-Cha-Ma-Call-it because one of the bad guys set off a nuke. Two years later the Cylons saw it from two light years away, and came arunning FTL.
I thought it was one year/light year. Regardless, what were the Cylons doing hanging around a system for a year after the Colonials were last seen in the area? Just bored? If I were bored, I’d take a look at that planet 1 light year away with the mysterious atmospheric radiation which shrouds it from my sensors.
