    [spoiler:2ea916c076]You guys still have to explain
    1) Why Gina was crying while having sex with Baltar.
    2) Why she decided to have sex with him, even though she's still obviously scarred from what happened to her on Pegassus.
    3) When and why she decided to blow the nuke. Why now, instead of before or after?
    It's ok to disagree with me, but I'd like to know what you guys think was going through Gina's head at that moment.
    [/spoiler:2ea916c076]
    [spoiler:2ea916c076]1. Because it was their last moment together. I don't think anything hinted at her being forced by Gaius. Gaius thought that they would have all the time together on the surface of New Caprica, and I think moving was the only thing he was trying to force her to do in that scene.
    2. To show him that he meant a lot to her, maybe. Otherwise their last goodbye wouldn't be the nicest memory and Gaius could think that she was lying to him all the time, just to mess up the fleet.
    3. Because Gaius was the only thing that kept her alive? Becuase now she would have to move to New Caprica and lead a half-life hiding in a closet on Colonial One. I think that's why she has delayed her suicide until the last possible moment ("You have your orders", boom). [/spoiler:2ea916c076]

    [spoiler:2ea916c076]1. You're assuming Gina had decided to kill herself before the sex with Baltar. There's no evidence for that. Her comment "I'm not moving to New Caprica" could mean that she doesn't want what comes with moving, i.e. the relationship with Baltar. That would be more consistent with Baltar's reaction.
    2. You're underestimating the trauma that being locked up and raped for months on end will have on a person. I doubt she'd be willing to have sex ever again, much less as a trivial going away present.
    3. I felt her life was picking up nicely, i.e. she wasn't living "just for Baltar". And there were still people living on the ships. Despite what Baltar said, not every last one of them moved to New Caprica.[/spoiler:2ea916c076]

    [spoiler:f052ff0778]The fact that the other cylons weren't expecting to find some kind of nuclear blast doesn't mean that Gina's intentions weren't to signal them. When she was first sent on her mission on the Pegasus she didn't even expect she'd be alive at the point when she detonated the nuke, she was supposed to kill herself after she performed her mission on the Pegasus.

    I would guess what happened was Gina knew that she couldn't settle down on New Caprica. She also knew that the planet was protected by a nebula, so if the humans actually started colonizing the Cylons would never be able to win the war (there is no indication that she knew that the Cylons had changed their minds concerning the humans). So, as a last ditch effort to alert the cylons, she detonated the nuke, knowing that it would give her cylon brethren the chance to find the planet if they stumbled upon the radiation.[/spoiler:f052ff0778]

    [spoiler:f525eed425]See, if she really wanted to tell the Cylons where New Caprica is, all she had to do was steal some jump-capable ship or shuttle, go into Cylon space, and tell them herself. The Cylons have already demonstrated an uncanny ability to move around undetected, and Gina is no exception; remember she got from her cell on Pegassus to Cain's quarters, then left Pegassus, all without anyone seeing her. And it's not that people didn't know her back there. Plus, with the colonization starting, there'll be a lot of people, stuff and ships going back and forth, so she shouldn't have trouble slipping by. This makes way more sense that detonating a nuke on the one-in-a-thousand chance that the Cylons will fly by at just the right time to see it.[/spoiler:f525eed425]

    No, dammit, they're not. They're basically altered human clones, how else could they be genetically compatible with humans to the extent of bearing children with them? Also, the metal cylons might just be simple "agent" programs or animal-like, like the raiders.

    Actually, no, you're wrong. Baltar's theory (which granted, he was bullshitting at the time, but later episodes held up the truth of it) was that on the most fundamental level of matter, the Cylons were composed of synthetic materials, which showed up on a spectrographic analysis when vaporized. When he finally got around to building the damn Cylong detector on those principles, it actually worked, and determined that Sharon was a Cylon.

    [spoiler:997b49a21f]Gaius : Well...well. I think my ability see you will, no doubt be, uh, constrained by the responsibilities, uhm, requirements of my new position. Pfft, listen to me, my, my new position. Uhm, but obviously, we uhm, we will have the chance to connect, to ah, to get together again on New Caprica once-
    Gina : I'm not going to New Caprica. <flat calm, somewhat reisgned voice>
    *long pause*
    Gaius : What? What are you talking about? <surprised and confused>
    Gina : I'm not going to New Caprica. <flat but somewhat more emphatic voice>
    Gaius : We're all going; to New Caprica. All of us. Every last single one of us. It's our chance to be together, to be together again.
    Gina : No. <with soft low falling intonation>
    Gaius : I can't do this anymore.
    Gina : Stay.
    *Gaius looks puzzled*
    *Gina undresses, Gaius looks more puzzled*
    *Gaius follows Gina to bedroom*
    *Gina reaches for Gaius, running her hands over his body and pulling his face to hers*

    Some significant parts are Gaius is not propositioning her, but informing her that eventually they will have a chance to meet after this period of interruption. She rejects New Caprica.

    She uses low falling intonation instead of simply falling intonation when she says "No." - the former being representative of "No, you're wrong." rather than "Np, I reject you."

    Finally, Gina is the sexual aggressor in this circumstance. Narrative convention as well as the nature of the character would have Gina simply submit to Gaius as he simply had his way with her, while she looked listlessly at the ceiling to signify she was coerced. Instead she was a willing participant actively reaching and participating. There is a shot when Gaius is lying on top of her, and you simply see her head/face and Gaius' neck, such a shot would be ideal for the "empty dead, I'm somewhere else" eyes instead she passionately kisses Gaius' neck.

    So, in summary, ecczi and my scenario are the least complicated and most compatible with film making convention and linguistic indicators.

    Though it is interesting that Gaius corrects himself from "responsibilities" to "requirements".[/spoiler:997b49a21f]

    How is that evidence against it? The motivations and actions of the other cylons have no bearing upon the situation.

    In the new series, the official spelling is "frakking", from "frak".
    The original series had its "frack", but it wasn't exactly a replacement for "fuck" (unless making children use it in a children's show in the 70s was a joke on the producers' side).

    It's "so bad it's good" at best. "The Living Legend" and "War of the Gods" gave me some good laughs, but most of the other episodes were extremely dull, and very "O_o".
    But yeah, it is memorable, it's hard to forget Adama taking a hike to Egypt... I'm sorry "Kobol", an experimetnal Viper's computer hitting on Starbuck, Galactica receiving a transmission from our moon landing, meeting Satan, and hours of footage of grown men running around empty corridors like children playing "war", only less convincing.

    Though there are some things you really should see, it's fun to know how many things were referenced in the new series, like when Starbuck reunites with Galactica in her Raider, she's waggling its wings a lot - in the original that was Starbuck's "emergency plan" when he was coming back with Apollo in Baltar's Raider. Waggling.
    "Boomer: No! Don't fire! It's them!
    Adama: How do you know?
    Boomer: They're waggling!"

    Hmmm. It's kind of hard to distinguish breasts on the bottom picture what with the pose and the coat, but I'll assume that's the chick since the top one doesn't have any breasts worth mentioning.

    Dirk Benedict's Starbuck was kinda like a blonde Han Solo type. It'd be exciting to see Dirk guest star in the new BSG.
    Blonde, slightly homosexual and wimpy Han Solo.
    Dirk Benedict hates the new show and Ron D. Moore's ideas for roles they could cast him in are... special and better left forgotten ("Hi, I'm God.").

    Uh, the breasts would be large black bulge obscuring half of her left arm. Unless in order to be "worth mentioning" you want like three breasts or something.

    If you'd prefer the cigar smoking chick on the bottom that's cool though dude. We're a pretty open minded and tolerant community.

    Does he? I really can't understand the undying fanboyism for the old show that seems to translate directly into utter hatred of the new one. I can understand liking campy, bad shows and movies for the laugh factor, but to utterly despise something new just because it's actually good, doesn't sit right with me.
