If you think of the Ressurection Ship as a cell phone tower and the Cylons as cell phones, I guess your logic is rather sound. But the bottom line, Micah, it is a movie! If they say that the ship is needed inorder to transfer into new bodies, then it is needed. You are trying to compare the technology behind the Cylons and how their consciousness is transfered to that of todays cell phones technology. Micah, I think you are comparing apples and oranges here. Like I said, it is a movie and we just need to accept the technology and physics behind, "Battle Star Galactica". You will drive yourself nuts! Enjoy the drama and CGI. But if you are going somewhere with this, please let me know! I'm interested to hear it.

Well, I think I have seen Apollo used more than once, Micah. In fact, several time. I believe the difference in choices of names is the situation they are in. If it is official business, then Adama. If it is unofficial or "play time," it is Apollo. This is my take but could be wrong of course. Where are you going with this? Anything behind the "Apollo" name use or lack of? I like to know, thanks.

I had another thought. In the origianl series Adama's son went by his call sign Apollo. In this series I have only seen it used once I think. When starbuck returns from her reconosince mission of the Ressurection ship and sees the Pegasus vipers having a battle of manuvers with the vipers of Galactica, she recieves an email/instant message from Apollo. Did I see that right, and why doesn't he use this name more?

I apologize for jumping in but I had a question. Before the initial Cylon attach which kills almost everyone on their home planet, Six talks about how after she dies from the blast, her body will just be transfered to another body. Baltar will simply die here because he is human. As the bomb hits and the blast spreads, we can see Six thrusted Baltar's head down to her belly. Man, she's frackin' hot!! Sorry.. I don't see how this would be much protection for Baltar. Let me get to the point. I think Baltar is a cylon, or better known as a "sleeper agent"! This explain how he "survived" and would also explain why he can talk with six in his head about relevent issues. Now he might be our president, excuse me, their president if Roslin dies! This will open a lot of different angles for the writers. Is this possible or not? Please let me know what you guys think?

Well, it seems that most of your questions were anwsered this week, I personally couldn't be happier that Admiral Cain was shot in the head. I record it on my DVR and watch it at least a couple times a week. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it can seem a little bit like a soap opra. Especially, last season between number 6 and Dr. Baltar. Not so bad this season so far. I wonder if Admiral Adama will go back to caprica to pick up survivors? Destroying the Ressurection ship dosen't really kill cylons. ( my theroy) If you think about it cylons are computers which essentialy breaks down into data when they die. Just because the ressurection ship is not there to pick up the data doesn't mean that the data is destroyed. If you think about it in terms of a cell phone if you take your phone and smash it on the ground and then try to call it, just because it doesn't ring doesn't mean that the frequency isn't there. Does that make sense?

Spoiler alert:

The Pegasus will remain for at least a while, I don't think Fisk will be commanding it, actually from what I heard there will be an episode dealing precisely with the command issues on Pegasus. It won't be Starbuck doing the killing, however I'm not sure who it will be.
Does the number six on Pegasus have a name? As for Cain being a Cylon, i don't think so, If she was a Cylon I don't think would be spitting on a fellow Cylon and allowing that kind of abuse. Starbuck does
perform the eulogy though for Cain. As for Roslin, she does get saved by Baltar which develops a cure for her cancer based on his Cylon research. The only question i have really is why don't they just use the Cylon ship they stole from caprica to load nukes on it and blow up the resurrection ship? they were able to do it with the Base Star on Kobol. I have more spoilers if you want

I think this episode was excellent on many levels. What impressed me most was how the dialogue trumped the action. In the last scene, the difference in the choice of words between Adama's and Cain's assassination orders is revealing. Cain cannot be honest with herself and say that she is going to murder Adama. She tells her first officer to end Adama's command. Whereas Adama bluntly orders Starbuck to shoot Cain in the head. He's not going to evade what's really going on. Also, Adama knows well that shots to the chest are not necessarily fatal, and he wants Cain dead with the first shot. A brilliant scene.

Galactica goes from strength to strength. I hope it can continue to do so.

The joy of TIVO, here's a spoiler seen in the teaser for next weeks episode: It is NOT Starbuck who has the gun up to Admiral Cain's head, if you look carefully you will see marks on the wrist of the gun holder - meaning it has to be someone who has been shackled. This is either six or boomer and only six is on the Admiral's Ship.

Eric: I'm pretty sure that's not right. Zarek was nominated for VP, and Roslin countered (eventually) with the nomination of the "popular" Baltar. At least that's the way I remember it (I'll pop in Bastile Day (or is it Colonial Day?) when I get home tonight.
Mark Rabinowitz: Ronald Moore actually does keep a blog at SciFi.com, though he hasn't updated it as much in Season 2, but he often answered questions like that in the blog. Take a shot: http://blog.scifi.com
Ryan/Andrew: I'm pretty sure there was actually a line in Pegasus where Fisk talked about how Cain figured that the CNP (I think that was the name of Baltar's old program) was at the root of Cylon attack. Just like Adama said in the Mini-Series, the computers work, as long as they're not networked.
Ian: I believe the human's growing affection of the Cylons has been a more recent theme, but if you look at 'journey' of Six and CapricaBoomer since early on, the ability for Cylons to love (humans) was always there.

To me, there's no way that the Dues Ex Machina that we're all feeling coming around the corner won't be something that necessarlily keeps Baltar out of office as much as its one that keeps Roslin alive. Her role is so central to the show that IMHO, there's no way she leaves it. Perhaps there is some Cylon (possibly Boomer)-related miracle cure around the corner?

Can't wait for next week!

Ryan, If you notice Galactica also has some new vipers. In the case of Pegasus, they must have found out that the cylons were hacking the computer sytems and made their vipers fly-by-wire, plus Galactic was ran by a skeleton crew at the start of the mini-seris. Also the ship was going in for a overhaul when the Cylons attacked the colonies. Or you can take advice from Moore and not worry about this "refrigerator logic".
