2. I'm still watching the first season DVDs!
I won't see this season until it's over and the DVDs come out.

But the first season - seeing it for the first time this week - WOO HOO!

10. where was the extra 2 minutes?
They had the big promo of the extra 2 minutes and it was all over at 10:58?

Good episode... it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

14. I think the extra 2 minutes was to promote their Friday schedule
returning with new episodes in 2006.

15. Damn, that was intense.
I think the Battlestar Pegasus might as well be renamed the Battlestar Abu Ghuraib. Perhaps now the crew of Galactica will start really questioning whether they ought to view the humano-cylons as sub-humans and what treating them as such could do to the humans on Galactica.

25. Was it confusing? Remember the last episode from last season.
DUH? I still can't figure out what the blonde cylon woman was doing with the cradle outside and the whole rest of it. I will watch it

17. Wouldn't Pegasus have the same weakness of the newer Battlestars
they showed in the miniseries? With all those networked computers, wouldn't that cylon-programmed weakness be in there? It should be cylon childs play to shut down Pegasus systems and wipe them out.

19. I think the Pegasus is a hybrid of new and old technology.
Just my guess...

:shrug:

They were using corded phones.

21. That is still not a clear sign that the computers are not networked
I hope they go into this in January. Will it be a long Pegasus story arc? Or will the ship be gone after the next episode?

23. Hm, interesting question.
I bet they'll keep the Pegasus around for awhile. They've clearly put a lot of work into it as far as backstory, characters, sets, etc. I think they'll try to get several eps out of it.

35. my guess on the Pegasus
The cylons needed help from Baltar to infiltrate the Colonial systems... when the big assault came, the cylons did something that was not exactly long range to disrupt the systems of the colonial defenses, meaning they had to go from battlestar to battlestar to take them out.

I'm guessing that the Pegasus people figured out the cylons were able to infiltrate the systems of the other colonial battlestars & defense forces and have done something to cut off the outside access to their systems.

32. Yikes! Damn fine episode, that was
Color me impressed.

I was thinking that Commander Kane (sp?) was a cylon at first. But the more I think about it, the more I'm sure she's completely 100% genuine human. Specialized, but human.

Her ExO looks worried. :o

34. I think he may be pivotal
he's probably scared after telling Tigh the story about how she shot the original xo... but, he may finally get to the point where he says enough is enough. I don't think Cain or Kane has a clue with how to deal with civilians, either, while Adama has done okay in that regards.
