Well it's got to be either them Starbuck or Gias, who else?

The boss of the show said that the only two who are not Cylons are Adama Sr and Roslyn.nerd
I wouldn't rule out Adama Jr however, especially if you read the treatment for the spin off prequal, Caprica.wink

Unlikely to be El Presidente as she's dying...My money's on Gaeta. He's too quiet for his own good.

Looks like a nice little Cylon civil war is on the cards though. Hopefully this series will be action all the way until the end.

Another good ep with some of the storylines starting to develop nicely. The whole ep feels like you're on drugs though and the ending is very interesting.

Does anyone else get the impression that there are several scriptwriters all doing different plot lines and not talking to each other. The Americans seem to love leaving episodes with a twist in the plot.. but when this starts happening to all the plot lines the show just becomes a mess.

Its amazing how the show gets so complicated in terms of plot but then the overall storyline seems to go nowhere. Same with the Sarah Connor Chronicles/ Lost etc. To start with they were fine, made sense and got on with it, now things have just got'n silly.

And I get really annoyed by the Whole "Previously on ..." "And now ..." IMO the reason theyhave to do this at the start of every episode is because the plot is so complex you have to be reminded of all the previous events relevant to the coming episode.

I do actually enjoy BSG and the sarah connor thingy but I wish they'd at least put the scriptwriters together in the same room for a while and ditch the episodes that go nowhere (Like that boxing one last series.. I mean WTF did that have to do with anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Good ep, will hold off on big spoilers in this case as it was a pretty big episode in terms of one particular character. However I can say that I didn't buy the Tori character in this weeks, I don't know why but I don't think she worked.

Nice to see the Demetrius, any excuse for a new ship design, even a waste recycling ship. Liked the two Vipers lashed to the deck, reminded me of seeing pics of the fleet transport ships in the Falklands War with Harriers on the deck. I like the Colonials, they aren't daft, if that was trek they'd be poncing about in a shuttlecraft and when the bad guys show up they'd remodulate the shields or reconfigure the replicator to send a transonicfanboy pulse, whereas the Colonials just scramble the alert alert fighters.

Totally agree. All it did was to highlight the unresolved personal issues between several characters. Like, "duh", as if we needed that to be telegraphed for us. rolleyes

FFS, this is a thread about BSG4... I think you should expect spoilers every now and then.

But MOST people will be watching on Sky! Not some obscure internet download/streaming/channel.

The word 'SPOILER' would help so that people didn't read it inadvertantly.

Are you stalking me again BM?

No, the reason they do this is that the average American is too stupid to remember things that happened 7 days ago, and such a short attention span they don't want to risk them changing channels before the programme starts.

I fast forward thru the "this episode" ste because I don't need to see the fking highlights of an episode I'm about to watch.
