Oh I LOL'ed on that one.

As for the ending, whoa.
That kid was screaming so much I wanted to throw it out the airlock, the hell with the skin jobs. As for Callie, well... she was so weepy I didn't feel anything. I would have thought she was tougher than that.

And yeah, whoever wrote the "I just wanna frack" dialogue deserves to be tossed out the airlock, too. Gawd that was painful.

Yeah, we know that "frack" is a substitution for "fuck". Now use it about 25 times an episode.

I was joking that if they keep up with all the "mother-frackin" and "I just wanna frack" they'll effectively get a made-up word banned from TV when BG eventually goes into syndication.

And add me to the "meh" column but I've felt that way since season 2.

I thought they replaced Cally there for a moment. I was hoping she space that kid with all his crying. I'm trying to watch a show hear for crying out loud. I liked everything about the show but the Starbuck story was the weakest link in the chain. Maybe it will pick up later.

Couldn't agree more about the "I just wanna frack" scene. I was waiting for my ears to start bleeding.

The words she used aside, it was painfully obvious where that scene was headed as soon as they started arguing. I'll bet we've seen Starbuck get in an argument with somebody and then end up screwing them 20 times now.

I am sorry, but that was the worst episode yet. The cylon 'civil war' storyline is fantastic, but it does not make up for the rest of the episode.

Thanks guys. I never really got into Star Trek, so that was lost on me until now.

Well I guess Callie isn't the 12th Cylon.

Also, seriously Adama, you put all your best pilots on the Demetrious? Heaven help you if the Cylons attack again.

They are making the Lee Adama storyline way too confusing.

I fear these 10 episodes are merely filler for the final 10 in a year.

was I the only one hoping that the baby would've gotten thrown through the airlock? Man, TOO MUCH CRYING! Ruined the whole scene...

Well Moore has a track record. The final season of DS9 had some real nonsense and then a rushed ending to the Dominion war. Looks like he's gonna do it again.

BTW heard an interesting spoiler in the 5th Cylon. Or 12th, depending on how you count them. But I haven't figured out how to do the spoiler thing her yet.

Why do you say that? She could be and this particular version of that model is now dead, but the rest of the line could still be where ever the rest of the other 4 models are.

It didn't take Callie's death to figure out she's not a Cylon.

Cylons can't breed among themselves, which was the whole point of the Cylons manipulating Boomer and Helo into having a baby together in the first season. So, if Tyrol is the father of Callie's baby, and Tyrol is a Cylon, then Callie can't also be a Cylon.

Maybe after the way he's been treated by sci-fi for so long, he just doesn't give a shit anymore. Finish this train wreck and move on to something new.

Maybe James Darren is the final Cylon.
