Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 (Spoilers)

[Dr-Timelord]

am i a cylon?.... who knows (Lampkin used deceit to manipulate others into revealing information)

[Tovette]

Awesome episode IMHO. Amazing changes have really transpired- Admiral Tigh?? President Adama?? And a cylon empregnated by another Cylon... plus, much to my relief I in high hopes that Lampkin is the final cylon. Giving it some thought I think he would be perfect. I think he knows he is and I wouldn't be surprised if he knew he what he was for his whole life- and to just take it a step further.. what if Lampkin is architect of this whole thing?? Given the type of person he is; how mysterious and manipulative, it would not be beyond his personality to have orchistrated the cylon plot to destroy the colonies, to get mankind moving towards Earth and Cylons to pursue. All while he watches it play out in the shadows. Romo is the kind of person I could see God taking the form of in order to make people look into themselves and make decisions they didn't or wouldn't believe they were capable of.

Anywho, I'm not positive but is the song that Athena was humming the same one that Gaeta was singing in the med-bay?? That would put some emphasis on this 'singing' because Anders or Helo, I can't remember said to the other final 4 cylons that he was singing- like it was something of importance...

Oh yeah- did anyone watch the trailer for the next episode?! D'Anna is back and she reveals one of the final cylons. In the trailer they edited it to make it look like she is revealing Rosselyn to be the final cylon but of course, this is BS because they wouldn't reveal the final cylon in a teaser Since there's only one unknown cylon left and we know one of the final 4 is with the rebels it's a fair bet to assume that D'Anna blows Anders' cover in front of everyone.

no it was the same lullaby she was humming to the captured Raider in season one

well actually it was Boomer not Athena . . . maybe it's something common to the Eight's?

Wow - Wicked episode. I had no doubt in my mind Lee was finished when Lampkin pulled a gun. The arguments between Lampkin and the Adamas were probably the best writing I've seen adapted to the TV screen in recent memory.

I wonder if Tigh will become Commander or an Admiral? Not to mention a final cylon now commands the fleet. I think in the next episode that they find the missing basestar, and when Tigh boards it to find his people, the 3 reveals him as a cylon.

Just a hunch.

Although it was a great episode most of the stuff in there was very predictable. As soon as Lee became a member of the quorum it was just a matter of time before he became president. The pregnancy was definitely a surprise and a very good plot twist

yep..agree with Spud here, you could see the plot a Lightyear away. Nothing new, don't know why poeple think it's such greath writting...greath writting is when you can't figure out what's will happen scene after scene, in that episode, you could know exactly what was gonna happened after each sentences basicaly. WAY TO CLICHÉ.

I thought it was a really good episode, even if you could predict some of it. What I really liked about it was all of the Adm. Adama scenes. I have really missed him in the last few episodes and am glad to see him back with some powerful scenes. One thing I don't really like about this season is that each few episodes picks a few characters to center around and then doesn't really show anyone else. It just gets old not seeing people for episodes at a time (excluding the occasional scene).

Evil lawyers? Guess there´s a first for everything.

I must respectfully disagree, in part.
Yes, one hallmark of great writing is when the author or screenwriter surprises you. However, another alternative is when the author or screenwriter does NOT surprise you, but you enjoy the ride anyway! If an author can take me to a place where I know I'm going (and lets face it, almost every movie out there, good or bad, has a fairly predictable ending) but I still enjoy the trip that's good writing.

Surprises are fun. But they are not essential.

That said, I'm quite satisfied with the direction this season is going. Though I must admit that Ellen-Six is just damned disturbing in that platinum blonde hair! There's just something freaky about a pale-eyed blonde.

Adama stepping down?
Tigh porking the Six?
Lampkin pulling a gun on Lee?

Nobody could have seen those things coming just by watching scene to scene.... I agree completely about Lee's presidency. I saw that right when Lee and Zarek were having their first conversation about it. IMO, that distracted me from everything else because I knew it was coming.
