The Woman King (314)

[kharn the betrayer]

Cheif and Cally's relationship is doing just fine though...granted we dont see alot of it compaired to other relationships but still...

[Vienna]

Huh? We saw less then thirty seconds of it! Wouldn't call that "ramming", not in tonight's ep anyway.

It was thirty seconds too long! It is a relationship that works better when it is not seen or heard of.

[0ldman]

beh, the comercials with Roslyn and Zarek almost showed the entire part of the show that moved the actual story along.

BSG is losing me, too much dragging along. I hate to say it, but I was definately eager to see this one, then disappointed. I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat to see next weeks ep now. Better pick up soon. I really think they're going to pull a big TV show irritation and wrap up all of season 3 in the last fifteen minutes of the last ep.

How do you figure that when last week Chief said that they got into a fight?

And they should have stuck with 13 episode seasons. Several episodes from season 2 and now season 3 are pointless when season 1 had one one iffy episode.

the show needs to get back the basics. Humans vs Cylons, space battles and gun battles. it needs to skip the religous stuff and all the drama and get on with the cool special effects.

because married couples fight every once in a while its normal and no marrige is perfect so you are bound to have an argument here and there

hell Sharon and Helo got into a small scuffle in this episode... and I dont see them breaking up any time soon either

plus the episode before that cheif and cally where fine and dandy

[Gate gal]

It was not a bad episode, but it was pretty predictable. I think the Caprica 6/Baltar scene was the best one in the show. I also liked the scene where Helo was torn over whether to let the doctor give medicine to his daughter or not. I'm so glad they have her back with her parents. Genocide is such a heavy topic that it is hard to even enjoy an episode like this one. I guess I'd give this episode a 5/10.

What show have you been watching? Because the Battlestar Galactica I've been watching for the last three years and a miniseries, has always been focused on the human drama/religion/military drama with the spacebattles/special effects coming second. Any old dreck can have stunning effects and battles but would never be half the show BSG is without the drama.

A. Please resize that font....

B. Is that even allowed here?

[silence]

i see ban coming up ...

now back to the ep.
i LOVED it.

it had everything i like about BSG. and i am glad they made Helo do the right thing (again) and be right in the eyes of everyone (unlike with Cylons/genocide).
loved seeing Athena and Hera.

Tigh is tough SoB.

Baltar in Caprica's head is back and they are fliming all that ... this could be interesting knowing that trial is coming.

And best part of this ep? ... no damn quad ... (expect for one short stare) ...

As for explosions and gunfire? I couldn't care lsss ... i like this. This was good ep.

[Xenocide]

Cliche, pointless filler, and Helo is still on his high and mighty horse of righteousness.
I was really hoping Helo would be wrong

[TameFarrar]

I didn't mind the episode....it allowed me to get my living room clean while I watched...... yeah thats how engaged I was...As good as Helo pulled off many of the scenes it just never got THAT tense..... Sci-Fi showed all the good tense moments in the commercials so I came away knowing I had basically already seen the show....Sci-Fi is slowly killing off all of its good shows..why should BSG be any different

. I could have done without the whole Barroom scene...it added nothing...but to have a 30 second reminder of teh Quad ship thing

and I was disappointed...Dee lived...so that means the Quad lives on as well

Oh well next week...My kitchen......

A. Sorry about the font

B. Yes this is allowed it is just the extra scene because those outside of th USA cannot access it on the scifi website.

[Olli]

But the whole "Helo is RIGHT and everyone else is WRONG!" was done with all the subtlety of a 2X4 in this ep.

Thats why I dislike Helo.

[katie_9918]

And the sanctification of Helo continues. What a pointless pile of drivel this episode was. Adama, Tigh, and Cottle all being made to look like apathetic, bumbling fools just so that Helo can once again be the moral backbone of the fleet.

Although major kudos to him for calling Eight on her lack of empathy towards anyone she's not on a first-name basis with. My Eight-hate just got on level with my Helo-hate.

Best part of the episode? Roslin, Tory, and Zarek. Richard Hatch, please come back soon!

Worst part? The other characters being written so patently OOC just so Helo could play the part of the hero. Come on. I may not like the character, but he's certainly likeable enough to be able to stand on his own without trashing other characters to do it.

Two weeks ago, I didn't think I'd ever say this, but bring Baltar back. His story's more interesting than anything I saw this week.

And I got dry heaves when Adama apologized to Helo. Shut up, Bill. You've got a hell of a lot more on your plate than Tool does, so just let it be.
