I didn’t mean giving her the nuke meant he wanted to die I meant, because he didn’t want to die it was illogical for him to do something so patently reckless and potentially dangerous to himself. She was a suicidal robot soldier programmed with a mission to kill humans and he knew it and she did. She took out a whole bunch of ships. I cannot suspend disbelief in this scenario.

I don’t like the idea of Dee being a cylon either and maybe she isn’t… but…

(It’s Gina (which is a play on TOS fans, who called the RDM version ‘Galactica In Name Only’ (GINO)))

As for Dee being a Cylon, while I can’t actually counter that, I’ll just say:

Nooooooooooooooooooo! We’ll never be rid of her! Billy-killing bitch!

I never bought into him giving Gena a nuke. He doesn’t want to die. That made no sense at all but, hey he’s nuts.

I don’t see why you equate giving Gena the nuke as wanting to die? They use nukes all the time as weapons, they obviously aren’t as damaging to the ships as you’d expect. I guess it was safe to assume she could take out one of the civvies’ ships, but probably not Galactica/Pegasus.

As for theories, I like the idea of Dee being a cylon. Well, not really like it, but I can see it making sense. And either her or Anders needs to die - having a Lee/Kara/* triangle is less confusing than Lee/Kara/Dee/Anders square!

Only 11 days to go!

e-m, there are some problems with that theory as far as the established ‘facts’ of the story goes, but it’s an RDM production, so who knows? It would be an interesting twist, and we know the writers are suckers for that.

I agree with Audra that we should see a group of humans and cylons banding together for some purpose. Maybe a separate small ship. Perhaps there will be a situation where they need each other to survive and find common ground. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if a human finds Cavil’s sense of humour hilarious and Cavil loves it. “Finally, someone gets me.”

Helo can’t be a cylon. He was chosen to impregnate Athena because he’s human.

Why would Baltar not have done the tests he needs to prove he’s a human? I suppose the question forgets that he’s having a huge guilt trip and he’s nuts. I never bought into him giving Gena a nuke. He doesn’t want to die. That made no sense at all but, hey he’s nuts.

I don’t believe Baltar is a cylon which I explained in the What’s Your Theory Section. My theory hints at how they might be in each others heads as well.

I also believe Baltar was merely a prisoner in a guilded cage. Too comfortable and too threatened to act. Gaeta had more freedom than Baltar.

Lastly, I see Racetrack with Gaeta. That’s a good match. Hot Dog can hook up with Seelix. Gaeta’s probably still miffed at Seelix for trying to space him, besides Felix and Seelix is too much.

I disagree with you. I think season 3, so far, has been the strongest yet with some of the best and tightest writing in this show’s history. We haven’t had any episodes along the lines of “Black Market” or “Sacrifice” this season. I think the ratings are more likely due to the schedule change and starting the season in the fall, rather than the summer (plus the fact that it seems this show is watched more on DVRs, DVD and online than “live” on air, so the ratings don’t reflect the show’s true popularity. Apparently, Universal is on to this and is planning a direct to DVD movie and SciFi has apprently renewed the show or will make an official announcement to this in the next few weeks).

As to the teaser theories: there’s no way Lee is the Cylon. My bet, and this will wreak havoc with the mythology, is that Helo will turn out to be one of the final five. Starbuck will find earth (although there’s a rumor going around that Katie Sakhoff is leaving the show. Could that mean the bell tolls for Starbuck?) and either Anders or Chief Tyrol will die.

Just my crazy theory.

First I think they made a mistake having the New Caprica story arc so short. Yes I know there were the ten webisodes. However I would guess for every one of us who watched them, there was a person who didn’t. Now I don’t know this for a fact, but I do know (and this has been said over and over) that the BSG following is not the normal for a sci fi program. Where for us, going on line to see part of the show seems fine and maybe even normal; to some like my father it would be unheard of. He does not even have internet access.

As much as I enjoyed the New Caprica arc, I was very disappointed in the death of the Pegasus and the demotion of Lee Adama afterwards. When the Pegasus was introduced I was so worried that they would do the same thing as they did in the old series and only have it for 2 episodes. When they kept it I was thrilled, and when it was destroyed I was pissed. The RDM pod cast said in the next episode that there is now a sense of reset back to the beginning of the series, and he was right. However I liked how they had moved on, gained assets (like the Pegasus) and were even building new vipers. I didn’t want to see a reset; if I did I would just put in a season one DVD.

Now all of this you can over look, but not when more mistakes are coming. The virus arc for one, that could have been great but the opportunity was wasted. Enough said.

We had running out of food episode, which even adds to the reset feeling. Anyone remember when they were running out of water? How about when they were running out of fuel? Maybe Starbuck can crash land with a Heavy Raider and she can cut it open while she is running out of air and fly it to safety?

For weeks we have had Baltar and Caprica Six together, would have been a great time to have showed Baltar talking to head Six while Caprica was talking to head Baltar.

I know that no season is going to be perfect, but I do feel they are having a “losing” first half of the season. I still love the show, but I fear where I see it going at times.

As usual, thanks GWC!

And don’t forgot the wonderful Hulk Hogan. One of the greatest actors of our time. Thunder in Paradise, his own cartoon show, a reality show, etc.

Hey Boxy before you were born there were some movies with Paul Hogan the actor, not wrestler. Although next to Michael Hogan he’s not much of an actor either.

Remember Billy!

We can’t have Anders die. He’s the Han Solo of BSG. Perhaps they kill off Dee (now, THAT would clear up the whole relationship thing). I still say Starbuck is the Cylon.

Lee = Cylon (Leoben’s statement)

Starbuck finds Earth (special purpose and all that)

Anders dies (perfectly clears up all current relationship debacles)
