    Did anyone else notice that Roslin seemed to be "feel" whatever caused the power shutdown in the last episode? Anyway.

    I like the idea that all five needed to be there - maybe if they could have completed the song, something might have happened.

    They could have... formed a band?

    Anyway, I once would have poo-poo'd the idea of Lee being a Cylon (what with Bill Adama knowing him all his life and everything), but after the Season 3 finale, I'm not discounting anything. They definitely left plenty of loose ends, so just about anything could happen at this point.

    Don't forget way back when where Leoben said "Adama is a cylon".

    At the time I thought it was bullshit. But who knows?

    Hell, did he mean William or Lee?

    Yeah, that was what first got me thinking about it.

    And... you know... as much as Leoben is an evil bastard, he is pretty much never wrong, one way or the other.

    He actually does see stuff, which I hope they will explain some time in this coming season. Because none of the other Cylons can see the future.

    I don't like the idea of Bill Adama or Roslyn being Cylons. The idea that the few surviving humans are being led by Cylons makes the whole thing somewhat pointless IMO.

    Regarding the idea that all five Cylons were supposed to meet at the end of season 3 but one of them bailed out... I don't think that's true. The four new Cylons at the end of Season 3 meet around a square, not a pentagon. Visually, the scene was setup for four people, not five.

    Plus, why wouldn't Lee hear the music? Everything we saw in the last two episodes showed that the other Cylons all heard the music at the same time. One of them heard it while being stone drunk and testifying in court, another one in flight training, another one while working, then all heard it at the end in the middle of a crisis. So I don't buy this "he was too preoccupied to hear the music" theory. If anything, hearing the music seemed to overrule all other concerns in the other Cylons, not to be covered up by them.

    That bugs me too. If the writers were set on Kara's destiny since the beginning, as evidenced by the painting, it's unlikely that this will be forgotten as a loose end or red herring.

    I think its because he is the only one who listens to the hybrids, and doesn't believe they are just saying random gibberish.

    In the miniseries it was established that Kara passed Zac because he had proposed. She didn't want to hurt his feelings even though he couldn't fly well. He died soon after they had gotten engaged. (It might have even been the next flight).

    There is a horrible rumour going around that Season 4 will be split into two ten-episode seasons.

    I really hope it's a joke, but Sci Fi Channel is full of just enough stupid to try this. I can see them trying to get the benefits of two seasons while paying for just one; hopefully, if it's true, there'd be a strike on set or MGM/Universal fit-pitching to stop it.

    I don't think they will strike. These guys still get their paycheck no matter what SciFi does to distribute the episodes. What would really be great is if they finished all the episodes, and during the hiatus period, some guy accidentally leaks all 10 of the missing episodes.

    So they make us wait a year, then they punch us in the nuts by saying "oh, we're going to give you half, then make you wait another year."

    If it's true, I'll just say screw it and catch it when they do a season 4 BSGathon.

    but I can't wait to buy the season 4 box set, then season 4.5 later on! I have too much disposible income!

    What I hope happens is that the US gets a 10- break - 10, while Canada chooses to air all 20 in a row, as they tend to do with other series.

    Then just somehow 'find' them on the interwebs and watch easily. Then buy seasons as they come out.

    Hmmm, that's true, we probably could have seen this coming.

    If it's true then I'll try to just hold out for the DVDs, and send Sci-Fi an email to the tune of "For the love of god, I'm never ever going to watch another episode of Flash Gordon or any of your other ridiculously crappy shows unless you air Battlestar Galactica in full."

    If you think mansquito 2 answered many unanswered questions from Mansquito 1, while leaving a little bit of mystery itself... then you'll love it.

    The rest of us enjoy an intelligence bracket somewhat higher then 'Paste Eater'

    I, for one, think BSG is at its best with a more focused season- I found Season 2 and Season 3 both had stretches of filler that could have been cut without harming the overall storyline. I think Ron Moore and company might prefer shorter seasons.

    EDIT: Not to say that this is the same thing. This is sci-fi being retarded.

    I attended the panel at DragonCon the rumor link speaks of. The panelists bashed SciFi for an hour and they were dead serious that they heard the split of season 4 for a year was a possibility.

    When asked how SciFi could possibly screw up BSG any more, Aaron Douglas responded "SciFi is used to making total crap. Then they made something awesome and had no idea what to do with it. Seriously, how many of you enjoyed Mansquito 2?"

    Hooray for Sci-Fi. Good job keeping Speculative Fiction in the artistic ghetto in American culture. Fuck, they know that I'm a vapid escapist with no social skills, if they started producing quality programming I might get confused and gassy.

    What the fuck happened to Caprica? I hope Moore goes to fucking HBO or some shit after this for his next project.

    Wasn't Carnivale on HBO? Ron Moore might not be so hot on them if so. There's always someone else, though, Showtime or something.

    Why must wanting good sci-fi TV feel as futile as wishing for pet unicorns?
