Typically, after each episode I'd say, "Damn, they're fucked."

Tonight, following the season premiere, "Damn, they're really fucked.

If you're not watching it, stop what you're doing and play catch up. Best show on TV.

Tho' I thought Kara changed her mind a little too easily. Hoping it's an act. Also, previews spoiled some of the tension generated in the closing seconds.

I have it TiVo'ed and as yet haven't gotten a chance to watch it. I refused to watch the spoilers on SciFi's web and I'm itching to watch it. Hopefully if the damn pager stops going off long enough, I'll get to it tonight. I've been itching for it to start up again. I love this show


****SPOILERS ALERT****


EDIT: Finally watched it, wow. I was a little freaked out till the previews at the end. Damn Dean Stockwell is an SOB lol. So did I catch it correctly, Pegasus is resuming the mission to find Earth and separating from Galatica? One other question the cylon with Kara, is that supposed to be a toaster form of her previous husband Apollo's brother? And like no one knew Baltar wasn't a cylon but Baltar? (something in the previews). And geez it was intense.

*SPOILERS*

As far as I was able to tell, yes... Pegasus is going to continue the search for Earth while BSG will go to rescue the humans on C2. The cylon with Kara is the guy that Roslin originally had thrown out of the air lock. The first one they did that to. The one that Starbuck was interogating and seemed to like her too much. The one that whispered "Adama's a cylon" before he was killed. Apparently when Kara was in the "farm" they took her ovary and created a baby with his... sperm? Anyway... she is half human (Kara) and half cylon (the guy keeping her in the apartment).

The "am *I* a cylon" part I think is just to throw you off. I really don't think Baltar is a cylon. Then again... there are still 5 models yet to be revealed.

I really liked the premier... much more rewarding than the lost premier lol.

By the way, the webisodes really were meant to be watched between season 2.5 and season 3. They help you to understand some of the characters involved. If you hadn't watched them, some of the stuff that happened in the premier wouldn't have quite as much meaning.

ok so I had that guy confused but now I remember him.

I don't remember hearing Adama is a cylon being said, which episode was that if you can remember? I have them all and I will go back and re-watch it just for that part. So are Rosalyn and Tom really dead along with the others? Wow, that blew me away.

FYI, I have this ripped into divX if someone wants it (65MB). It's too bad more people can't upload shows here. I have tons of BSG and Farscape and Kyle-Xy.

Yes, Battlestar.

Don't remember the exact episode, but I feel like it was Season 1, fairly early, which is why you may not remember it. The webisodes weren't really spoilers, they all took place during the 4 months you didn't see between the surrender and Friday night's premiere. Mostly they were concerned with the start of the resistance. More than anything, they explain why "Duck?" ( never really caught his name ) was so willing to become a suicide bomber. And you saw a bit of ( damn, I'm bad with names ) the reasons the other guy was willing to join the human police force.

And I don't believe Rosalyn and Tom are dead. The most hokey thing about this show so far was the "miracle cure from the cylon placenta". If they went that far, the better not off her so easily. Tom, however, may be dead ( heroic act to vindicate him before he goes saving Rosalyn ), just to keep their credibility that almost any character is fair game. Then again, maybe not. It was a defining moment for his character when you realized he had morals and wouldn't join the Cylon-Human government.

IMO

I went back and watched all 10 web eps yesterday and I'm glad I did. It helped me to understand a few things.

I'm not so sure I like this twist in the story, it was more captivating for me when Starbuck was a badass and not a whimpy girly like chick as they are making her out to be now. I liked it better when they were in space and running/fighting all this drama is like watching Lifetime or TNT I hope it gets less dramatic.

I can't believe Rosilyn is dead either, it would seem rather dumb.

Rosalyn is shown in the previews at the end of the premiere. No similar sighting of Tom Zarek. Richard Hatch, Kate Vernon, Timmoh Penniket, Aaron Douglas (Zarek, Tigh's wife, Helo, Tirol) were at DragonCon this year, along with the show's science advisor. Great panels, but they didn't give much away for the new season. I think a major character bites it some time in the next few episodes, but no idea who. I'm hoping it's not Zarek. The irony of Rosalyn having to side with an infamous "freedom fighter"/terrorist against the Cylons is too rich.

Fildien: Its the same episode I was describing. The one where Roslyn has a dream about jetesoning a seemingly random guy out the air lock, then it happens. Before she does it, he lunges at her and gives her a hug. Then he whispers in her ear "Adama's a cylon".

I think they'll probably make Starbuck hard core again. I think the baby thing just caught her off guard and she's feeling a bit maternal, which she wasn't ready for.

As to Roslyn and Tom... my bet is that the NCP finally got some morals and defended the humans. Jammer is probably the first to fire, resulting in a gunfight between the NCP and Toasters while the humans duck for cover. Jammer will probably die. Think about it... a non-main character getting that much attention this episode? Definitly setting up for death.

Then again... this show takes a LOT of sharp turns... so who knows.
