Quite a few American SF fans were pleased to hear that the US is getting this season before the UK 😉 I’ll hopefully be able to catch the repeat of this on Sky, the last few episodes were lost to my sister’s soap operas :rolleyes: ---

I can’t wait for this. I watched the special earlier this week and have been seeing the previews and it looks like things are going to get _really_ interesting over the next few weeks. Oh, and coming down the line in a couple of episodes: Michelle Forbes (Ensign Ro) as Admiral Cain of the Battlestar Pegasus ---

My prediction is that Starbuck, who is apparently the only competent pilot/officer on the fleet, will continue her role of jack-of-all-trades, including successfully operating on Adama, delivering all of Boomer’s various babies, discovering Earth, and successfully fighting off the entire Cylon fleet by squeezing on the spleen of her captured Cylon fighter. But she still won’t get to first base with Lee Adama. ---

Horsepucky! Doctor McCoy couldn’t deliver **all of Boomer’s various babies**. tanstaafl: You wouldn’t lie about that spoiler, would you? She turned down DS9 cause she didn’t want to be stereotyped. ^ :dubious: ^ ---

Yep, I’m _so_ ready. Let’s please all remember to respect our cousins across the pond by conscientiously using spoiler boxes, shall we? They did it for us in Season 1, after all. The preview clips on the NBC reruns didn’t show anything significant, btw - unless you count: [spoiler]Adama didn’t necessarily die, even though Six tells Baltar he _will_. Dunno if Olmos has a new contract or not. The blurb in today’s Daily Local Fishwrap says Roslin gets even more mystical and visionary this season, so apparently she \*doesn’t \* die, at least not right away. It also says Six \*might \* be knocked up by Baltar. Or maybe not. The pressure of being both fleet commander and acting President gets to Tigh, and he starts drinking heavily again.[/spoiler] ---

Okay, having read, the spoilers and posted links in this thresad, I have come to two conclusions: I have to make a vow to remain spoiler free. This season is going to rock! ---

I think theses are fairly safe bets: Adama ain’t gonna croak. Ensign, Er, Admiral Ro won’t stay in charge. Let’s enter her in the “guest star death pool”. ---

Well frak me! Judging by the spoiler info about the Pegasus story, Ron Moore not only reads the sci-fi message boards, but he’s more than willing to take our ideas, because that story sounds like it was lifted almost exactly from our speculations. Speculations that _I_ was in on. 😛 ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Say what? Er, the frack are you talking about? Way back when BSG was just kicking off, and Ron Moore didn’t know whether the show would even be renewed, a lot of us (on the [Scifi.com](http://Scifi.com)) message boards were discussing whether Ron Moore could do a Pegasus story, and if so, how it would work. Based on the info in the spoiler articles linked to by **tanstaafl** , it sounds like he decided to go with it, and use the ideas we posted. Could be coincidence, but I doubt it. He, or his staff, monitors those boards and responds to questions, so it’s not a surprise his staff would also be reading the Pegasus threads. ---
