If you miss BSG this Friday because "you forgot", I will go over to Toronto myself and bitchslap you!

I didn't even know BSG was starting up this week.

I'm more afraid of my wife rippin' my balls out and having them for a snack. Trust me, I'm watching it, that's why I'm trying to schedule for 11pm after it airs here.

Well, now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

I'm not sure if these have been mentioned or not, but they're pretty cool. I haven't watched passed season 3 yet, however I enjoyed everything up until that third season enough to invest in these.

Sweet find.

Holy shit, shipping to Canada (or to NS anyway) is almost as much as the posters themselves.

yeah, I got a couple of other things to justify the cost.

I don't think Deb's going to appreciate it when she sees this on your desk.

The video on that page is so fucking creepy. Sure it looks innocent... but he sits there and pokes the thing, then you get to see his huge burly arm and that's just sick...

If I was going to get a boob mousepad, I think I'd get one more tailored to my interests. Not a ghetto, generic one.

If you haven't watched past season 3 STOP RIGHT NOW!

Holy shit, you have 10 eps to watch in the next 36 hours? You need to get movin', man!

I am DVRing it.

Me too..sort of. I'm actually watching it on TV then downloading the torrent 5 minutes after it airs. So sort of the same thing :-)

I really think they are milking this "Fifth Cylon" thing too much. Still a great episode.

So, are they going to reveal that everybody is a cylon or something? What about the Seraphs?

If I'm not mistaken, didn't they reveal the 5th human-looking cylon at the end of the last ep? They ain't milkin' shit no more after what happened there.

OK, right now is a HUGE fucking spoiler. So if you haven't seen Season 4 Episode 11, STOP READING RIGHT NOW.


What they revealed at the end of the last ep is that those who inhabited Earth were actually the cylons, not humans. So the Earth they were trying to find this whole time was actually a cylon planet first inhabited by the supposed 13th tribe which were actually cylons. That's what they revealed in the episode.

I'm pretty sure what you'll find out is that it was the humans who nuked them rendering the planet inhabitable (BTW, it's been 2000 years, wouldn't the Earth have cleansed itself of the nuclear fallout by now? If so, shouldn't the water be drinkable now and they shouldn't need to leave it?). And that's probably why they went out into the stars to inhabit other planets. They had nuked the only inhabitable one they knew of at the time which had been overrun by their creations.

Or, it could be that the cylons had tried to escape from them 2000 years ago and the humans hunted them down to Earth and eradicated them. The few that survived from that (the Final Five; BTW, anyone else find it ironic that 3 of the Final Five were the leaders of the resistance on New Caprica?) spent however long rebuilding their army to exact revenge on the humans. Then the humans went about to eliminate the cylon history from theirs and many generations later, created new robot helpers again. That would explain why the models on Earth (the ones from the original 70s series; they're starting to tie it into that) are different than the ones that they recreated many generations later.

It's a stretch but one of these is likely where they're heading. Unless, of course, they wanna talk about the cylons as a completely different race that the 12 tribes happened upon and tried to eradicate. But that wouldn't makes sense with the cylon models on Earth being similar to the ones they created on Caprica and the inclusion of the 13th tribe in the scriptures

Okay, then who the fuck is Starbuck?

We'll just have to find out, won't we?

The only theory I've heard about this question is that possibly she is Athena reborn. It explains the knowledge she has for no reason and how she could have possibly been reborn.

Ok, so finally, this show has grown some fucking balls.

Adama = Bad Ass mother fucker.

Adama? Shit, look at Starbuck! (Around the 8:55 mark.) *BAM* Frak yo...*BAM*

It was one of those Pulp Fiction "I'm sorry...did I break your concentration?!" moments.

What? No comments about Friday's episode? Everybody used to post about every episode.

Their minds probably blew up because of how incredibly kick ass the episode was.

I'm still picking up the brain matter. I think the ep should have ended though when the President went on her speech. That really hit home the moment for me. To me, that the best part of the episode. I would have liked to have seen Hot Dog shoot down that ass of a CAG though.

I'm happy the Gaeda/Zarick arc ended quickly like that. I was a little concerned they were going to spend 7 or 8 episodes with that in the background and then wrap up the series quickly at the end. I don't want a hasty ending, I want a good one. They've done relatively well so far this year and I don't want to see them screw it up like they did with the second half of Season 3 (except the ending) with all that filler.

I'm really curious what they're going to do now. I personally still don't get why Earth is uninhabitable if it was 2000 years ago when the nuclear war happened, they should be able to make it livable again. Obviously we haven't seen the end of rebel Cylons that are still out there but I really wanna see how they finish things off.
