Heh. Thanks, djjoeycool!
Sorry again for the delay on last week's entry. I gotta let the hubby take me on vaca every once in a while. He's a BSG widower each Friday night/Saturday morning when I write the entries. The season is scheduled to air new episodes each week (except for Thanksgiving and Xmas) through March! That's great for us fans, but not so good for my marriage. ;) Thanks for hanging in with me!

Speaking of the schedule, how do folks feel about this whole feast or famine thing? New episodes each week is wonderful, but when March comes we'll have to wait 9-10months again for the next season. I think I'd rather a few reruns here and there to stretch it out. 9-10months is such a loooong time without any BSG!

Very good review of a very good episode. I am a little confused by the hybrids- am I correct in guessing they are a cross between the humanoid Cylon models - and the all machine models and not a true human- Cylon hybrid like Hera? Also what has happened to Dee- are she & Apollo still married? She has not been in the last 2 episodes? Also is there any truth to the rumors of the show moving over to NBC? I hope not because then the show would loose it's edge and have to worry about ratings and making things a little less intense for a broader audience.

So, is Tigh going to pull a "Leaving Las Vegas" and try to drink himself into oblivion while spending the weekend with Apollo's hooker friend? ;)

Hi Shannon

Great review. Gives me something to do while I'm here at work. You made one small mistake, though. You said Baltar's first kill was a Six, but that's not true. He killed a human when he was stranded on Kobol with Tyrol, at the beginning of the second season. Unless you meant it was his first Cylon kill. Keep up the good work!

Ed - I think the hybrids are part "skinjobs" and part Raider-like machines. I wonder what's up with Dee and Apollo too! Has she taken up knitting? I'm pretty sure that NBC has said it won't be taking over the Battlestar episodes, but obviously things can change at any time.

Mac - Hah! Now that would be good.

Ryan - Hmmm. Now that you mention it, I think you're right. In the Podcast, Ron Moore had commented that it was Baltar's first kill, but perhaps he meant either his first kill with this bare hands OR his first Cylon kill. Good catch!

This is posted on SciFi - so hopefully the NBC rumors really are just that.

Galactica Rumors Squashed

SCI FI Channel and its parent network, NBC, put to rest fan rumors that SCI FI's original series Battlestar Galactica will make the move to NBC. "There is no truth to this rumor," a SCI FI spokesperson told SCI FI Wire.

The rumor has appeared on fans sites such as the Battlestar Galactica Site and been picked up by other entertainment news sites. "Word has begun to circulate that NBC's acquisition of Battlestar Galactica is in the 'waiting-for-the-ink-to-dry' phase at this moment, and an official announcement could be days away," the Battlestar Galactica Site said.

Battlestar Galactica returned for its third season on SCI FI on Oct. 6 and airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. It was the number-one cable show in its timeslot for the night.

have you Shannon or anyone seen the "advanced" reviews of BSG in the wikipedia page?

What do you think about them? I stumbled upon these as my fever for the show is of the charts, and the waiting is killing me, I want to see Exodus.....damn cable company!!!

The Hybrid thing is interesting.
In a recent prequel BSG book (I forget the title) a younger Adama is serving as XO with Tigh as CAG on the BSG---they encounter a Massive ship made by the colonials but automated by Cylons---only a few humans are needed. But needed is literal. The ship required human interaction ostensibly to prevent the cylons from hijacking it.
After the cylons split, they find a way to keep what is "needed" of the human crew to run the ship--including the intellect of a man who remembered Bill Adama and demanded the Cylons allow him to speak with Bill. (He could cause extreme problems with the ship on a temporary basis. With Cylons, payback is a 8!+(# so he would only rarely interfere.)
So the cylons still can't run a big ship on processors alone.
Interesting.

"We know the number was actually 14, though, because The Circle's "people" carried out the execution of a woman they convicted between Jammer and Gaeta."

Or one of those 14 people killed could have been a Cylon. We know that those numbers dont count Cylons because the number didnt change when Boomer was shot.
