As a female BSG fan, I would like to say that this episode made Ellen one of my favorite characters. This episode made her much more realistic and believable for me. YES, she is screwing things up.. but try to see it from her perspective. To be honest I would probably do the same thing.
She has been in love with Tigh for thousands of years, and tried many times to get pregnant with his child with no luck. Now all of a sudden, one of her own creations-- one of her own "children" in her eyes, has gotten the one thing she always wanted in her relationship with Tigh? And she is just supposed to be OK with this and NOT freak out or make someone pay? I don't think so. Even though they thought she was dead.. frack them. Emotions of that magnitude are not so easily managed; Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
You have to remember this feeling that Ellen is wrestling with the entire time... Betrayal of the worst degree.
She cannot help but harass Six about it. In a really twisted way, Ellen knows that Tigh was only with Six because it reminded him of her. So Ellen taunts Six with this knowledge.. Makes Tigh say he loves Six when Ellen knows he doesn't. It's very twisted, but very realistic, from someone who knows first hand how wicked women can be when they are hurt.the city devours the land. the people devour the city. but you are a spark of God's fire. core update complete.

I think this episode pretty much proved Saul and Ellen are bad for each other more so than well pretty much every other episode the 2 are in...
Saul's become a much better person since Ellen has died(he certainly not the same guy he was in season 1/2 and even early 3) and while he did have that rough spot after he killed her he has shaped up quite well
and Ellen last episode was the complete opposite of how Ellen normally is
yet suddenly you toss the 2 together and all hell breaks loose
also I liked the scenes with Saul and Adama
and as much as I like Galen WTF at him wanting to jump ship I also hope he finds out what Tory did to Cally by the end of the season

I also thought it was funny, that when Tory, Saul, Ellen and Galen were fighting, the 6 and 8's basically acted like children when their parents fight. Since is a very sense, the 5 are their parents.

Originally posted by bfldworker View PostThis episode had me scratching my head. Since "Sometimes a great notion" it has been packed with gritty, entertaining, aw inspiring material. And then we get to this episode. You go from mach 9 to screeching halt. Don't take this as I didn't like it. It is a part of the puzzle. But I felt with Ellen showing back up in Galactica it would have stirred the pot even more. But all it did was slow it down.
It was weird seeing Iron Clad Bill Adama distraught over how fragile Galactica was and that he needed to get help from the Cylons to fix her. I don't know what was more painful, Galactica falling apart or him needing to ask the Cylons for help.
I liked the parts with Adama continuing to agonize over the changes he's had to make to his ship, like he's losing the last reliable thing he's had since the world ended.

After "No Exit" i really thought, there was less bittch in Ellen, but this episode showed, she's not really a good person. Maybe that explains Tory

I just got done watching it again. I am even more confused then before.
I understand why the Admiral had Boomer thrown in the brig. From Children of Kobol part 1 when she shot him. Betrayal of the highest order. He looks at all the crew as his children.
There is something gnawing at me about this episode. I felt as if there was going to be something huge and massive as the episode kept going. And then I realized it while watching next weeks trailer. There is a HUGE bombshell getting ready to drop in the life of Kara Thrace. Who is she What is she, how did she return????? If she an other unknown Cylon? Was she resurrected the like Ellen? Could she be a replacement for "Daniel"? Or is there really a higher power at work?
Which brings an other question. What the Frak is this whole thing with Roslin, Athena and Caprica sharing visions and dreams? Are they mentally connected? Is it a higher power? Or do we find out that it is a Cylon ONLY thing? Which implicates the possibility that all humans are Cylons or they are a "Blending" of Human Cylon?
There are SO MANY QUESTIONS that need to be answered in the next 4 episodes.
And while I am at it. I would love a movie based on the backstory of the Final 5 and there "resurrection" technology and there whole planet from 2 millennium ago.. I know it if off subject, but they are valid questions that I would LOVE to know the answers to.Spins and turns, angles and curves, the shape of dreams half remembered. Slip the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of perfection. A perfect face, a perfect lace, find a perfect world for the end of Kara Thrace.
End of line.

Or did they resurrect repeatedly en route and didn't tell us? Seems at least possible, since got onto that ship by resurrecting in the first place.
But still, it would have been far less than "thousands of years".

Originally posted by Chev's Ron View PostI noticed that Ron Moore showed multiple scenes of Adama supervising the repairs and lamenting over Galactica being a hybrid itself now. (Setting up the last scene where Adama and Roslin agree that a fusion of Cylon and Human cultures/circumstances has already happened.)
Originally posted by Chev's Ron View PostFrom the jist of their conversation, I think baltar was trying to get Adama to supply his followers with weapons so he can defend galactica in the event of another rebellion, but I was left a bit "what exactly did they agree to?" in that scene.Originally posted by Finger13 View PostI think that he was given weapons so that he could supply Dogtown with supplies and care without the gangs controlling everything. Kind of like Vigilantes.
What I don't get is how they are considered reliable enough to be given assault rifles. They're always referred to as freaks and such, and now they're vigilantes?
Originally posted by bfldworker View PostWhat pissed me off was that the Final 5 were ready to cut and run. I do have to agree with the question. Why do Cylons always want to run.....
Originally posted by Detox View PostI guess Ron Moore completely forgot about the mutiny that happened only 2 episodes ago.
Originally posted by Arative View PostYou can't discount that Ellen is two different people really. She's Ellen from Earth and Ellen that Cavil created with false memories. So that's why she seems like two different people. All the anger she feels towards Tigh because he choose Adama over her, is coming from Cavil-Ellen. I hope that she does get back to the Ellen we saw last week, cool, calm, collected.

in order to break the cycle of destruction there needs to be a human/cylon fusion of civilisations... baltar's grouping is the antithesis to that... "I'm your last chance for a human solution" and "god loves you just the way you are" or whatever baltar said... he's a tool for whomever wants to keep humans and machines apart and at eachothers throatsI'm an average viewer. As plain as they come. People make TV shows based on my demographic.
